Is it wirth changing the brake fluid whin doing front discs with goodridge lines? Or is it fine to use existing and top up with dot 4 if needed?

Got them in a nice big red box, Brembo High Carbon + mintex + goodridge hoses... I am a fairly capable chap, but never really done any work on cars at all before. Im gonna change my rear discs this weekend with greenstuff pads (need some copper grease - where from?) Would someone...

Can I fit this myself, is it easy, i.e. just the 4 bolts I can see? Doing rear discs this weekend with greenstuff pads, then off to garage for carbon fronts with hoses + mintex.

Renault seem to have maybe successfully diagnosed my knocking noise!! As per the photos you can see where the upper engine mount has worn away, and you can lift it up from the top like a big flap of rubber... Broken me thinks!! Also as you can see from the photos there are some screws...

How long should it take for a garage to change a drive shaft on my 172? Also anyone know where I can get one from that doesnt cost the earth? Should I try Matt? Thanks.

Had the straight uprated dogbone mount that renault replaced the twisted one with. Replaced it, still have the bloody noise. Its got worse too, gradually... it only happens when there is strain on the engine gear box, i.e. when letting clutch up to pull away, when ever I go over any bumps or...

Will they fit, are they easy to fit yourself, I know you need the subframes from renault and they are about £40 each, and finally are they lower than the standard seats, and oh yeah how much do they cost?

Took a very helpful how to from here, refurbing/painting wheels, 3/4 of a day and £45 later, and they are growing on me as time passes. I am growing to really like them, wasnt sure at first, did the spare to for good measure so money saved £200, don't now if i'd do it again would just save up...

Is this possible?? If so, any idea on cost??

Bought a throttle cable for £18, followed the 'how to' from here, ok so it took an hour and a half, but I couldn't feed the bloody new cable past the green thingy arttached to the disc brake which runs inbetween the bulkhead and the engine insullation stuff!! Anyhow, my first bit of car...

Purchaced these from K-Tec racing, purple ones, garage tried to fit them and said that one was too smaall and one was too big!!!! I have a Mk2 Ph1 172 x reg Jan 2001 I thought they were supposed to fit all 172's, what should I do now?? Why dont they fit... From the picture on K-Tecs...

Found a pap one on fubars website, sorry fubar... no offence intended, but can smeone post a clip of the mid sport with the 18" back box and single pipe? If anyone has that set up, would really like to hear what my exhaust is going to sound like :-)

Been quoted about £120 inc parts and labour does this sound about right? Thanks Also how long do you think it will take to replace the lower (dogbone Mount)? I.e. labour costs...

Just phoned burnley and they no longer do the powerflow for the 172, gutted, will do a scorpion or magnex but it will set me back, £390!! K-Tec stealth here I come for definate now, as a local garage will fit it for £40.

How does one get the trip computer to hold its memory???

Is this broken, will I need a new one? It is also very raspy at certain speeds and the renault stealer said it was something in the middle that has collapsed? How much is a stealth compared to having a standard one refitted?

I have a Phase 1 172... As the title says, I have three eagles (in garage) to fit + balancing, two at the front and one on the spare... The knocking noise under acceleration needs to be sorted so dogbone mount is the first to be done, heard some peoples noises have been solved by doing...

Keep seeing two, silver phase 1's in harrogate, one with one recaro seat for driver, think its a girl, followed you in my little smart bluewave roadster for a bit but couln't see your face, i'm not a stalker, honest, just wondering if it is anyone on here?!

When changing tyres is it necessary/sensible to get the balancing/tracking done?

What is the standard size, 195/50/16? trying to order on line but got 307 at work not 172...

I am trading in my 172 Mk 2 Ph 1, boo, i know but need house deposit. I am p/x ing for a beautiful little RSi which has already been tweaked a little and i just want to know what else I can do. Heres what it currently had done; Hill Power modified cylinder head fitted and eprofiled...

My Ph1 172 2000 clio sport is very skitty at high speeds, would a rear spoiler help keep the back end planted a bit better? Has anyone made this modification, it's more for safety and drivability than looks, is there a sensible option, or will aspoiler have no effect whatsoever, help, and...

I just bought a Cliosport 172 and it had a minor service, 4 weeks ago but has done 47k now... do I still need to get the 48K service or do I now wait for a year? Also any Idea on how much the service is and parts that may need replacing, had the Lamda sensor done, recently. Any help would...

My accelerator is stiff and has been sticking at around 2,000-2,500 revs when I lift my foot fully off the accelerator pedal. The garage has just said that its the throttle body and not the cable. Does this sound right, and does anyone know how much the throttle body is to replace on an 172...

Just bought a cliosport 172, x reg 200, with 46K on it, nearly got a 182 sport 6 months ago, but needed a cheaper second car. I am assuming it is a MK2 phase 1 at that age. What does the phase 2 have over this one? Ive been doing some research but have struggled to find a competent...

As the title says, I understand that all 13cm front component speakers will fit in the front doors, but I would really like some 17cm speakers in there, will they fit easily or does it involve alot of work. Also is it easy to fit the Alpine Ipod adapter and alpine head unit myself? Any...

Want to get this head unit. Ipod adaptors to. Been offered a stalk control that is made by alpine, but it costs £70! Is there a cheaper one for a 55 reg Clio 182 as the ones on car audio seem to only say they are for older clios? Also Does this Alpine Head unit/Ipod adaptor charge the Ipod...

Whats the best way to start to modify the Clio 182 sound system? I dont want a riduculously loud system, something that can be removed fairly easily that has superb sound quality, but not huge amounts of base to make the car fall to pieces! Im thinking; 1). Reinforced shelf of some sort (not...
