Hi CS, Basically my squib is missing the wires for the horn. Will it be easier to buy another squib to fit, or fit a ph1 stalk. My question really is, does a ph1 stalk need the horn wires attaching, or is it just plug and play. no point getting a ph1 stalk if it needs to horn wires as i may...

Just changed the battery over to a nice new one as the old was shagged, but now the xenon headlamps have decided to come on even when they're switched to the off position haha! Switch it to sidelights and it stays on sidelights, but when i turn them on, or completely off they stay on! Any...

The bolt in retainer that clips the driveshaft in - driver side Is it supposed to be bent like this? I've been having problems as some of you may have seen with a new driveshaft, admitidly this was not a genuine shaft so i've ordreed a new one. But when i took this clip off the...

Afternoon CS, I've replaced the discs and pads on the rear of the 172 but the rear os is not holding in handbrake? Cable has been tightened, the only thing I haven't done is bleed and replace fluid yet. Cable or caliper do you think?

Evening CS I'm working on my 172 currently, its off the road an i'm replacing parts left right and centre. I've had to replace the o/s driveshaft (driver side) as the boots were messes up etc. I've put it all back together, all bolts and locked back in place, though I seem to be having a...

Getting ready to book the 172 in for belts and dephaser, was wondering if it's worth changing the water pump too or is this not going to be needed as such? Price quoted from Ktec is £761.60 for all belts, dephaser and water pump supplied and fitted

So a bit of background on me really - I've own a rather larger number of cars from clio's to corsa's, polo's to Mini's. Ive always done my own mechanics an I've got a cracking little garage at home to keep me dry in the winter months! :D So my manager was getting rid of his car and wanted £500...

Morning guys, working on the project 172 yesterday, replaced the rear discs and pads but on the handbrake it doesn't appear to be holding the wheel very tight - I haven't checked if it's actually working fully on braking yet or even bled them. Could this be a need to tighten the handbrake or...

Guys, Looks like I'm missing a wire that connects into the steering wheels to connect the horn up. i currently have a wire with a red plastic tubular piece of plastic, but looks like I'm missing a clip perhaps on the end? Was on a OMP steering wheel so cannot work out what I'm missing. Pluged...

Seen a lot of posts around saying just but a new shaft - I've got the boot I need for £7.98 delivered - are they really that much of a ball ache to fit? I've fit boots in the past with not too much faffing around? any pointers as not done it on a clio before? Rs 172 if anyone wants to know.

Guys, I've just replaced an OMP steering wheel with an original clio rs one. Couple of questions, the horn wire seems to be completely different from the connector on the wheel, and also after fitting the airbag light is now on, when it wasn't before and the SERV light is also on. could be a...

Evening guys, Changing the rear pads on the 172 and run into a few problems. First off I can not for the life of my release the pads from the caliper, I've pushed and wound the caliper back as much as I can but it doesn't seem I be moving back any further. Any ideas or tips?

Evening guys, what does everyone use to dewiper the rear? I noticed it's got that horrible cut out in the window so it's not a simple rubber bung job...?

Alright guys, Fresh in at the Renaultsport scene after being out of it for a LONG time. I've got a 172 ph2 and when the steering is on full lock it makes a good awful squealing noise. Any ideas? Power steering pump, aux belt or timing? Tah!

Hello everyone! Been a fair few years since I've been on this forum! Just purchased a lovely little 2002 51 plate Renaultsport Clio 172 ph2. 86k miles and belts done last year. Little service history and needs some TLC on bodywork and some engine love as it's filthy! Sitting in that...
