Hello all, can someone help and tell me which fuses are live when the ignition is switched off? I have a volt meter but it's broken. My search skills have failed me! thanks nick

..my car to pull to the right? I've had the tracking done and that's fine but the car pulls to the right still (tyre pressures also ok). Would it also cause excessive knocking crashing and banging when wheelspinning? I hear a thud when hitting a speed bump or going over the other side on the...

Hello all, Does anyone know the best place to get a mk2 Clio 172 standard exhaust mounting kit from? I need everything to fit a centre silencer and rear backbox except the rear exhaust mount. Thanks, Nick

I've been quoted £120 for the centre section and rear backbox on my mk2 172 however the exhaust is non-genuine Renault. Has anyone used these exhausts? Any issues? Should I just pay the extra £100 and go genuine?

When I spin my mk2 172 round at full lock the car jumps quite aggressively, What could be worn or broken? CV Joint? Track Road? Top Mount? Suspension? Dogbone bushes? Wheel balancing? I don't know if it's connected but the car pulls slightly to the right as well, which I think is causing...

Hello all, I've got a feeling the dogbone bushes have perished on my 172 ph2 causing a horrendous knocking under hard accelleration. I'd like to replace these in my service early next month, but what other bushes should I consider replacing at the same time? Also, is it wise to have a mixture...

Hello all, I've got a KTec Stealth exhaust which is great exhaust, however I'm after something a lot quieter. Are the standard exhausts worth it? My previous one lasted less than 24,000 miles from new and I don't want to purchase one (used or new) when it's just going to fail. What should I...

Hello all, I've got a vibration from my ABS pump on my 2002 Clio 172 so I need to strap it down to stop it from happening when it does a self test when I first pull off or if the ABS kicks in when braking hard. I believe the ABS pump is in the bulkhead somewhere. Unfortunately I've no idea...

Hello all, My 2002 mk2 Clio 172 seems to of developed a farting type noise from the passenger side when first moving off after being parked, whether it's for 30 mins or first thing in the morning. This is either in reverse or forwards. I've got absolutely no idea what it could be, any...

Hello all, I'm in need of an MOT and a service next month and I'm wondering what's best to do. My car is an 02 reg 172 with nearly 35k miles. The cambelt was done in Feb 2008 at 24k miles and the aux belt looked fine when checked over by GDI. I travelled to GDI for the service as they had...

Blue, with non standard alloys - maybe 15"? I presume it's a cup from the reg but possibly a replica although it had silver bullets. Parked up in the layby at the shops near Melbourne Road where the old Commodore centre used to be.

Saw a silver 172 parked up in the multi story car park on Fletcher Gate in Nottm at about 1am. Anyone here?

Is the Becker Grand Prix still the mutts nuts? I see MT Audio are doing it for £250 now, why does it still command a high price? It has a £300 RRP. What other options are out there? I like the standard look of the headunit as it means I can leave it on without a scally noticing it's...

Went to pick the missus up from Virgin Active and that was parked outside. Looked tidy! Anyones on here?

Spotted you about 18.30 Tuesday evening near the end of the ring road on the A60. I was heading towards Calverton when you pulled in to a road in front of me whilst in traffic, did a 3 point turn and then pulled back out behind me. Looked like it either had a dodgy drivers side fog surround...

Hello all, I've had 4 new tyres on my car today and they balance the tyre on each wheel but unfortunately it seems like they've stuck on 3 small weights on the outside of the alloy wheel, presumably to balance the tyre to the alloy. As this looks a bit unsightly is there anything I can do?

I need one for my Flame Red 172. Where is the cheapest place to get one, either an official Renault one or a matt finish all in one? I'm not interested in any Cupra or Pug attempts :) Who can sort me out? Cheers.

Hello all, I remapped my car last night using the RS Tuner and I want to make use of the other functions on the RS Tuner software. How do I best make use of the Performance Analyzer? As I understand it you stick it in a gear and then boot it, but which gear would give a more accurate...

Hello all, I understand you can't re-map more than one car per RS Tuner unit unless you unlock it however can you read the ECU of another car to establish if it's got any fault codes? Cheers,

I was in a taxi on the way home from a heavy night out and through my blurry eyes I noticed a silver Clio v6 on the roundabout near Gala Casino on Tollhouse Hill. Looked clean!

Hello all, My parent's car has diamond brite 'protection' on it, and they were given 2 bottles in this after care pack. They want me to clean there car but I'm unsure of how to go about it as it has this Diamond Brite on it. On my Clio I usually snow foam it with i4D snow foam, dry, AG SRP...

Is there any point in getting some new tyres for Santa Pod? I think I need some new ones in the next couple of months but would rather spread the cost and get 2 now and 2 in a few months if at all possible. At the moment I've got a couple of Hankook and Ventus Prime tyres, they aren't too...

Spotted you about 8.45 on the A52 heading towards the QMC hospital. It looked like you had a sticker on the drivers side rear window, possibly a cliosport one. I was a passenger in a mates Focus, otherwise I'd of flashed you! Anyone here?

Hello all, How much do you think the local garage will charge me to fit and supply the metal clip that goes around the cv boot as at the moment it's held on by a cable tie. It's not losing much grease, so I don't think he'll fill it with any new grease but it needs doing before teh cable tie...

What's best to remove rain x from the windscreen? I think I applied it wrong as it just smears horribly and is pretty dangerous in these conditions. Ta.

Hello all, How much do you pay for your VM broadband and what speed do you get for it? At the moment we have the phoneline, TV (inc Sky Sports) and broadband. The broadband is only 2mb and it's about £18 a month and would be £25 a month for 10mb, I think this is expensive but to guage...
