Sod it,
I really dont want to have to take the Dash off (I am hopeless at stuff like that). Ill have to live without the stalk controls and dash display ,the Sony CDX-M8800 comes with a remote controller anyway...so it should be just a case of pulling the factory fitted one out and sliding...
Hi,
I want to upgrade my Head Unit to a Sony CDX-8800 now it looks like Ill need either a PC9-112 or PC9-501 Smart Lead, does the Dash have to come off to fit both of these? Im not that bothered about maintaining the dash display (as long as it still shows Temp and Time).
Thanks,
Morbius
Hi,
Im planning on buying this for my 172 MkII.

Does anyone know if it possible to have this fitted...
Mine has started to make this noise as well, dont want to take it to Renault to fix as car is out of warranty...is this something I can do myself? Anyone had a go?

Hi,
Just wondering what people on here would think is a reasonable price for a MkII 172 in Black "51" Reg (Jan2002) good condition apart from the usual stone chips and scuffed alloys, above average miles (40000) as I have to use the car to commute to Leeds and back every week (Im in Norfolk)...
Hi,
I read in Top Gear Magazine a couple of months ago that Renault were planning on bringing out a completely new shape Clio this year and the Sport model would be 220Bhp Turbo!! Anyone have any more info on this?
Cheers,

Hi,
Ive just booked my MkII 172 in for its 36000 mile service with my main Renault Dealer...anyone got a rough estimate for how much its going to cost me, I know its going to need brake pads all round and I believe the 36000 service is a big one!!
Cheers,
Morbius...
Hi,
The rubber on my rear wiper is falling to bits, is this a standard part available from anywhere or does it need to come from Renault? Mk2 172 by the way :-)
Thanks,

Hi,
Im getting really annoyed by the amount of Stone chips all over the bonnet of my Mk2 172 (Black), it seems to attract them like a magnet. Has anyone used any of the "Stone Chip" repair people?? Are they any good??? I really dont want to go to the expense of having the entire bonnet...
The problem is that they are colour coded Door Mirrors, so I cant just use a normal "Black" Clio housing it has to be from a Mk2 Pearlescent Black 172, which seriously reduces my chances of getting one from a scrappie...Ive had two get back to me offering Silver ones but no black!! I may end up...
Thanks for your replies.....Ive had a look on the net and e-mailed a few Renault breakers yards but no luck yet....looks like its going to be Renault!!! Bloody Sodding F***ing Kids......
Hi Gang,
Woke up this morning to find my Drivers Side wing mirror smashed along with every other car down my street!!!! Great start to the day....the back of the casing is scratched badly and the mirror part itself is shattered. Does anyone know a good "cheap" place I can get just the mirror...
Ive got no doubt that I was speeding its just not knowing at what speed, the way I drive down this particular stretch of Dual Carriageway it could be anything from 80 - 120 mph. So I could easily be facing a potential ban...it just seems cruel to tell you that you are going to be prosecuted but...

Hi,
Ive just received a NIP through this morning stating that I was exceeding
the 70mph limit on a dual carriageway, It was a mobile van that got me,
however, the real worry is that it doesnt state how fast I was going!!! it
just has a seperate sheet saying that they cannot tell me how...

Hi,
Couple of questions for you guys, Ive recently changed my speakers all round to infinty 552s and they sound great, however I now want to change my head unit. If I go for a Sony unit then I can use the readily available cable, although I lose the dash display which doesnt really bother me...
Yes they are 5.25 (13cm) all round...didnt do the tweeters as Im a bit concerned about taking the dash off and Im sure there was a post on here somewhere saying that they are not regular size so you need to do a bit of fiddling about to get new ones to fit..I might have a go one day when Im...
No they are not amped...thats a project for another day, but its suprising how much difference just changing the speakers makes. The standard speakers dont look like much I would guess they are very cheap. I also used some spring washers when fitting the new speakers to make sure they were...
