Sorry to revive this old post. Can anyone advise me what to do with regards to leveling the headlights. Obviously the xenons are auto adjusting but this won't work on the cup/poverty spec headlights that I plan to fit so how would I get around this. Would they just be non adjustable?

Can anyone tell me 100% if it is just plug & play to swap from 172 xenon's to the standard headlight units as found on Cup's or 1.2's etc? I'd rather not do it if there is any complicated wiring. My xenon's are permanently clouded up on the inside (not condensation) so I have no way of repairing...

Ok thanks for that Really didn't know that the colour surround changed. Good job I checked otherwise would have an odd pair. Cheers

Am i right in thinking that the Xenon's on 172's & 182's are identical colour wise or are there different variants? Have seen some for sale listed as grey and some as black. I thought they all had grey surrounds?

Whenever I turn the car on or off I get a clunk/knocking noise. It sounds like its coming from the rear of the engine. Possibly the exhaust hitting the subframe?? Would that be an engine mount or the dog-bone mount in your opinion? Have got no access to a ramp to find out myself. Thanks in advance.

Stunning and sounded pretty good too

My headlights have gone cloudy / faded but on the inside of the lens at the bottom, not the usual place at the top on the outside - saw to that last year with some wet & dry. It is getting to the point now where vision at night is sh1te unless on full beam so something needs to be done. Can't...

Feel like a bit of a train spotter now!

Possibly me although I have a 172 wth 182 wheels. If not me oh well, if it was cheers!

Cool, thanks for the reply. Anyone have any ideas about the knock/thud noise when pulling away slowly? That is the one that is getting on my t1ts!

Two Techs in Dartford get my vote

Hi, I'm hoping somebody on here can point me in the right direction with some noises I am getting from my 172 which have gradually got worse over the last 2 months.. I know without physically hearing the noises, it is difficult to diagnose, but could just do with some pointers to save on...

Yes £1500 seems to be going rate, maybe I would take a little less, will just see nearer the time.

I am fancying a change, will probably be in the new year but would be good to have a rough idea of what my 172 would be worth now as it stands: Monaco blue 2003 "03" 107k Cambelt, aux belt and waterpump changed at 81k Full janspeed exhaust 182 Wheels (need refurbing) 6 Months tax & test Small...

I was told at the weekend that my standard ariel was flapping around all over the place at motorway speeds and upon further inspection it is broken inside. Which "stubby" ariels do people use as a replacement? I'd rather get a smaller one anway. I have read that Ariel's from Civic's and...

Thanks Liam, car looks very nice. That is what I thought to be honest but after reading a few different things, it seemed that most do fit them so got me wondering! Cheers

Sorry if this has been covered before - can the 15" O.Z alloys from a PH1 172 be used on a PH2 172 without spacers? Has anyone else put the PH1's on a PH2 without spacers and if so could you please provide a photo? Many Thanks

Spotted this parked on the Strand in Central London yesterday morning. Looked great even though it was caked in dirt!

I've seen one in the flesh and looks much better than pictures have you believe.

If the driver is on here - I was the one in the blue 172 who acknowledged you when you joined the A2 on saturday. Your car has to be one of the nicest Clio's I have ever seen and without doubt the best 200. Perfect colour and spec.

That was me! Thanks for the comments. I'm from the Medway area, was in Whitstable for xmas. Ronnie

I need to buy new washer pumps for my 172. Don't fancy paying the Renault prices so have found this item on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200622766742?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Would anyone here know if these are the right parts and also am I right in thinking that I...

I'm looking for a new exhaust for my 172 and like the look of the Janspeed system. Does anyone have any info on their system for a 172 with regards to the fitment/quality as most of the Janspeed related threads on here seem to be for 182's It would be good to know about the loudness - don't...

Guides are for members only right? What is a vacuum valve and is it a major fix costing major money? Thanks for reply, shame others go off topic.

Yes got it about 6-7 weeks ago from a trader near Bromley. Liking it so far

Re: Brake Problem 172 FF Had the problem again yesterday. Exactly the same as above. Turned car off and on again and all was ok. I described the problem to my local specialist but not they're not sure either.

That was me. Thanks for the comments. Not had it long, wheels need a major refurb! Think I see your one in the car park too, looked clean

I've just seen the K-TEC website and they are offering a stage 1 tuning package for about £250 including new panel filter, remap and rolling road run. The fact that this includes a rolling road session seems good value and something I wanted to do anyway as not owned the car long. Does...

Hi, I've had an issue with the brakes on my 172 twice now. The brakes felt like they were on / sticking badly and the car wouldn't roll backwards at all and it took much more effort to pull away. The pedal was also a lot harder. Then I had the stop, ESP and service light come on. Turned the...
