Nice one guys, I think £6500 sounds about right

Hi Guys I have a 51 reg (2001) full fat 172 in Monoco Blue. It is taked and MOT'd til September 2006 and has done around 35000 miles. I was wondering how much it is worth realistically, might be selling, not sure yet. Thanks for any advice / feedback in advance.

Thanx for the advice guys. I think I gonna maybe replace it with an new HU. But I've heard that to get the steering wheel controls and the central display (the one with the temperature etc) to work can be a total gig. Is it true that you have to take the dashboard off? I don't like the sound...

Hi guys. I've kept the standard head unit in my 172. But recently there is an annoying rattling sound that I hear when I tund the unit on or off, as well as when I eject a CD. I've also noticed that from time to time it seems unable to eject the CD. Is it nailed?

Damn Right!!! Some of them just need to taught a lesson.;)

Hi everyone. Im toying with the idea of selling my 172 and cant really decide what to have next. My first choices would be: - Honda CTR, Astra VXR, Seat Leon Cupra R or a Ford Focus RS. However I have considered upgrading to a 182, or just waiting for the new Renaultsport Clio to be...

This happened to me about 5-6 months ago, I was wondering if you can fix it yourself, and how.

Cool. She is 4 years old this week, and I have opened it up now and again shall we say.

My 51reg 172 went past 30000 miles yersterday. Happy Birthday to her. Im now waiting for the improvements that Ive been told about ;-)

Cheers. Nice One

Yeah, someone mentioned that but apparently you have to buy the whole airbox lid from new. I suppose it wouldnt be a major problem to do that, but I would imagine that reno would charge me loads.

While my car was on ramps fitting my splitter I thought that I would try to open the drainage hole under the bottom of the car to find the airbox screw I dropped in the engine compartment while changing the panal filter. (Yes I am a plank, I know) But I couldnt find it. Ive tried some scrap...

Took mine out cuz of the cluttering thing too. I just have the Renaultsport logo in both back / side windows now.

Over the last few weeks I have seen quite a few fit girls driving clios. In particular I saw an absolute stunner the other day in a black cupd 182. Was that anyone on here?

Good point mate.

Finally put my splitter on the on Saturday. That is the last mod that I have planned for the moment. All together I have cup splitter, silver vision indicators, crystal side repeaters, PiperX panel filter, etched glass Renaultsport logo stickers in the two back side windows, crystal white /...

Hello and Welcome mate. Nice choice of car by the way.;)

There was a meet in Dudley some weeks back, but I was unable to go.:( Does anyone know of any other schedualed meets in or around brum / black country?

Ive got both speed sensitive and auto wipers on my 172............. and they are both useless.:p

Hi guys Ive got a full fat 172 in monaco blue, and I live in Halesowen. You cant get much more midlands than that.:)

Commuting I get 32-34 mpg. On a motorway run it can go as high as 40. They are quite big inside, but almost no room at all in the back.

Hi there. Will the alloys from a 182 fit directly onto a 172? and if so how much are they. (p.s. The silver ones, not the anthracite / dark silver ones)

THATS A BIT HARSH. LOL

I had never seen the flame red when I brought mine, but it was Monaco Blue all the way for me. Black is nice but looks like a 1.2 and silver is too common. But out of your two choices I would go for the better car in terms of price, milage, number of owners etc. As the colour doesnt make that...

Maybe its just me, but does your clio just have sluggish days when it seems like it cant be bothered. And then another day it will make you grin from ear to ear with how much zip it has got?

Welcome dude!!! Ive got a Mrk2 172 - but never driven a Mrk1 so wouldnt be able to comment. I suggest driving both aswell.

No clios, just every other chimp!!!

In your opinion which are the best replacement sidelights for a clio? I dont like the original ones and am looking to change them. Any thoughts?

Not sure really mate. At least they are not massive. Ive got the Renaultsport logo in the back two side windows in kind of an etched glass effect and I think they look cool, but I did take the nasty ELF Renault one out of the back window.
