I bought a pair of front caliper overhaul kits, on opening the box (one side) i have a new piston, a new seal to go in the caliper ( somewhat bigger than the piston) and a funny looking outer seal. Also got the parts shown in second photo which seem to be for a twin piston caliper, What a load...

Any one know how to positively identify a phase 1 steering rack from any other. thank you.

How the hell do these come out? I can see the outers slide out but the middle is fixed and nothing I can easily get a spanner on.

Not a lot to show but will start with some back ground. Back in 2010 after selling my modified ford Anglia 105e I was looking for a hot hatch, never really thought about a Renault but for some reason started looking for a 172. Didn't know back then the difference between phase 1, phase 2, cup...

So what do I need to change, phase 2 subframe I believe, phase 2 wishbones ? and what about steering arms. I believe I have been given some duff info on this in the past so accurate info if you have it please.

Driving along at 70 mph, suddenly speedo stops working, few minutes later it starts working, does this more than once. Then at a junction while accelerating a big misfire at 4000 revs, tried a few times before journeys end and everytime a misfire at 4000. Less than that runs sweet. Any ideas...

Days like this I wish I hadn't removed the aircon.

Looking on Renault parts ebay site, I see phase 1 wishbones are £130 a pair where as 172/182 are £50 each, Whats the difference between them?

Bought from ebay and a combination of wire brush in drill and soaking in deox c, Got to be pretty much as new, now got to decide what to paint them with, only want to do this once.

Bought what was advertised as a 182 cup subframe. I have noticed that the rear mounting holes, last one either side for the wishbones is larger than the other ones. Is this normal or have they been possibly drilled out for some reason? Thank you.

Thinking about fitting some eibach springs to my phase 1, with 75000 miles approaching I thought I may as well do the shockers while I am there. Are cup shocks , which seem reasonably priced a good idea, only a road car. Thanks

Its been getting harder to make the fob work, fitted a new battery and I can see the red light coming on, so I guess its something on the car not working, where do I look?, thanks.

HAD my clio 4 years, absolutely no issues, now when I start the car from cold it dies straight away, dosnt matter if I try revving or not. Takes 3 or 4 attempts before it keeps running. Any ideas.

Got my monthly newsletter from quaife, see the 172/182 atb lsd,s will be back in stock by the end of the month.

Where? is it under the exhaust heat shields, thanks

Can anyone who is using these on a 172 with standard 172 discs tell me how far the caliper sticks out from the disc face.? for spoke not rim. I want to see how much clearance my wheels offer ( non standard)

What is involved/needs changing exactly to allow the later I believe d/shafts to be fitted. thank you.

When I first start my 172 phase 1,, I get 2 or 3 judders when I first move the steering wheel, then its fine until I start the next time, don't know if its connected but I also seem to be getting more torque steer than usual, suggestions please.

My first 172 windscreen got whacked and ended up needing replacing, and now this happened thanks to a bmw driver, never happened to any of my other cars.

Does anyone know, are they bendix with 30mm piston, thank you.

Is it possible to fit phase 2 d/shafts to a phase 1, understand the phase 2 has an extra support bearing on the shaft, any disadvantages?

Just fitted the k-tec quiet stainless system, can now hold a conversation at 70mph, can redline it in the lower gears without sounding like a complete idiot and every one within half a mile hearing me. Wonderfull.

Im not familiar with all the g/box codes, would my phase 1 172 benefit from the plate ( that's available on ebay) that bolts /screws on and holds the circlip in, cheers.

Noticed mine is white, all the other phase 1 box,s ive seen have been black, What do you reckon, a bit of home customising or could it be a replacement box maybe,

Don't know if they have ever been of but I couldn't budge them, decided to knock up a little something, worked better than I hoped. Used a rather large bolt so I could drill a recess in the bottom to stop it slipping of and the welding wouldn't deform the thread,

I see in the manual a figure like .7da Nm, meant nothing to me so googled it,, so am I right in thinking that , that figure is actually 7 nm?

Being halfway through attempting my cambelt/dephaser change, I would not do this on someone elses car for £500. A real c*** job.

Got the crank pin in, and the horseshoe, put on pulley locks and have loosened everything and removed bottom pulley. In the manual it says the slot in the end of the crank (presumably means the keyway) should be in line with the engine centreline, while its hard to be exact I think its more in...

As title, what is it and whats it for? thanks

Five years since cambelt last done so thought I should get it changed. Couldn't justify paying someone or afford to really, so decided to have a go myself. Not a novice have done other cars, but this is ridiculous, haven't even started on the belt yet, got bits all over the place, no room in...
