Good evening everyone. Just a quick one. For diagnosing a noise I had on my 172, I took a complete strut off of a standard 182, and put it on my 172. It fits fine, and has the same amount of coils etc. However I was just wondering if there is any difference in the set up, ride height...

Good morning everyone. Just been ringing around my local Renault parts people, and all have said that this item isn't available at the moment, and it's not showing in stock in France either. 7700784171 - Outer anti roll bar rushes - Fit under the wishbones. £9.02 each inc. VAT Was wondering...

Hey everyone :) Over the past week been having a few hot start issues with my 172. When I first got it, I replaced the TDC sensor. The one that was on it was the modded blue one, but it was causing me cold start issues, however replaced it, and it all seemed fine until last week. Cold start...

Hey everyone Recently started a new job, so not been able to spend quite as much time on the old interwebs and what not. However with doing a few more miles now, I've recently had quite an annoying noise get slightly worse on my 172. I’m sure it's coming from the OSF area, but can't seem to...

Hey everyone First time I’ve posted on the detailing section, bit of a noob lol. I was trying to get my fuel rail cover clean, have removed it from the car and started to sand it down slightly, has come up quite nice, but can't get good enough results in the bits that are a bit harder to get...

Hey everyone Finally managed to get hold of the correct OS drive shaft for my 172, however I was very surprised how close the inner boot sits to the engine, and there seems to be no real adjustment anywhere, as the shaft fits into the bearing housing behind the engine. Just wanted to confirm...

Good evening everyone :) Having a slight problem sourcing some non return valves for my headlight washers. After reading guysy's project thread, I now realise what the problem relates to. Having seen the piccy in the thread, I tried to search for the part number on the Halfords website, but...

Hey everyone Just managed to find the paperwork for when the TDC sensor and loom was changed on my 172, it was 3 years ago. It seems to be showing similar symptoms again now (not starting when hot, etc) so I was just wondering if it would be worth replacing it again? Is it possible it could be...

Hey everyone I hope to get round to changing my OS inner CV boot this weekend, but after having read a few threads about the job, I'm a little confused. Many people are saying you need a new shaft as you can't knock the CV joint off to replace the boot? But then I've also seen in the guide...

Hey everyone Just done a service on my Clio, and found a few other bits that could do with some attention. The OSF inner CV boot has a rather large cut/split in it, but looks quite recent, as most of the grease is still inside. I was just thinking about the best way to go about it though. For...

Hey everyone. Long time since I’ve posted on here, finally got a proper 172 after having to let my old 1.2 go :) Extremely happy with it so far. It's on a 53 plate, and done 39K miles. I've only had it for 5 weeks now, and since I’ve had it, there has been a problem with the dash panel. When...

Hey everyone. Looking to refurb my alloys at the weekend, but want to try and get the stuff to do it today. Im pretty much there with sanding pads and that, but im not 100% sure on the paint type/colour match. I went to have a look in halfords and the closest match we could find was general...

Hi everyone. A mate at work has had these alloys on his car for yonks, and one has recently cracked so he is looking for another one (or set). We can't find any model numbers on them, or part codes, we have taken the trye off of te rim too and still nothing. I can't find them on the momo...

My clio 1.2. Got it back in march and gave it a really good clean up and full service. Only mods so far have been the 172 alloys, but hope to get a sport grill sorted soon :) Any advise on any other mods?

Hi Had bin to the cinema today, went to try and start up afterwards, the engine cranked over once but then died straight away. Tryed restarting but nothing happened at all this time apart from a clicking and humming noise coming from the engine bay. Lifted the bonnet and put the ignition on, and...

Hi My clio's got a standard CD/Tuner set up currently, and as theres not a lot decent on the radio I burnt a CD on my computer from some other CD's I had lying around to do a sort of mix tape, but the CD won't work in my car. It works everywhere else fine, but when I try and play it in my...

Hi Ive currently got a 1.2 phase 2 clio with 14" plastic trim things on it (roll deep :D), so im after a set of 172 phase 2 alloys for it, but im unsure if they will be a direct fit. they are still 4 stud, but im unsure if I will need any spacers or different bolts, if someone could help...

Hi Im thinking of getting this coil over kit, but im unsure about if it will fit my clio or not. Its a 2002 Clio expression 1.2. If someone could show me on a pic where the actual bit is that needs measuring (either 52 or 58 mm) that would help loads. Thanks Gaz :D

Hi Im a bit confused by a bracket that I found loose behind the engine today. I had to jump start a Land Rover sport (felt well proud haha) and as I had the bonnet open I realised this braket just at the back of the engine towards the left slightly was jumping around. When I get back home...

Hi Got a service pack for my clio, fitted everything apart from the fuel filter, I haven't got a clue where the old one is so I can replace it. As far as I can see its not in the engine bay, so im guessing theres and inspection panel somewhere. Can anyone help me out? Renault Clio 1.2...

Hi Ive just had to disconnect the battery on my clio to clean around the terminals as they were all messed up, and I think it could do with a recharge. I thought that it would more than likely reset the radio, and made sure I had the code to hand before disconnecting it. The code is on...

Hi A mate suggested I signed up to this forum after buying my clio, this is my first post, I think its in the right section, sorry if its not :S I bought my clio yesturday as my first car, and im really chuffed with it. I thought i'd give it a good clean and service before I start driving in...
