I am having difficulty sending PM's, there just not showing as sent or any trace of them?? Trying desperately to PM DAZ_RT_04 but need help of a Moderator as not sure everything is working ok?? HELP!!
Need to put LED's and uprated mains bulbs in the new 197 steed, how simple to remove? I hope it's not a front end off job like my old 172???? Pleeasseee noooo:S
Went to have a poke around some 197's yesterday with intent to buy. The car that caught my eye ( and heart ) has the optional Recaros fitted which I was adamant I couldn't live with on a daily basis, but how wrong can you be!! Anyway, to cut to the chase the right hand side bolster ( the...
On the very bottom front of the air con pump (on a 172 Phase Two) there is a small roller / pulley which the auxiliary belt runs along the back of. Well its making a god awful screeching and it looks like the inner circular cover plate has come off which I guess will expose the innards. Can...
Strange missfire at very low revs, when pulling from junctions, parking e.t.c. but really anything where less than 2000 rpm is needed. It also happens if you are coasting in a high gear, and then put your foot down, splutters and then goes??
Car has done 92k and car has not had in my...
When accelerating hard in either 1st / 2nd or 3rd I have a brief loud clunk followed by a slight drone if I'm cornering in my Phase 2 172 non cup, which I'm assuming is a combination of engine mounts/ dog bone mounts. I'm aware of where the top drivers side engine mount is and have no issues...
Looking into buying my Mother a couple of year old small car. Has anyone had any experiences good or bad with the new shape Clio with the 1.5dci engine?? Having looked at specs the dynamique would fit the bill nicely. :-)
Its nearly time for a new set ( x4) on my Phase II 172 FF. Standard wheels and running standard 195/45-16 on it presently. Has/have anyone fitted 205/45-16 off the 182 onto 172 alloys and if so, has it made any noticeable difference? I'm reckoning that a slightly bigger footprint may help...
I currently have no reversing lights. Bulbs ok, fuse ok, multi meter telling me theres no power coming through. I am sure I have seen a thread somewhere telling about the reverse light switch on the gearbox ( ??) can go faulty and needs replacing. MOT in a couple of weeks so gotta get it fixed!
Gorgeous Inferno 182 on an 05 plate today about 17:30 on the A51 not far from the Swan With Two Necks at Blackbrook ( Nr Woore). Sounded really noce too. I was on the mountain bike ( I did wave) going in the opposite direction.
Don't normally do main dealers if I'm honest but just had a decent experience for once. Looking through ebay for some front struts for my 172 ( needing standard and nothing lowered for where I live down old rutted farm tracks e.t.c.) Bradford Renault were advertising 182 struts at a decent...
Just a thought but the full fat 172 against the 182 ( alloys and exhaust aside), what are the actual differences? Horsepower increase I know but does this count for much?
Having a bit of an issue with my 172 Sport. The car seems to be wandering over the road at speed, needing slight corrective inputs on the steering to remain on course. Faster you go the worse it gets. I thought it may be the tyre pressures at first but looking on here I have rectified that...
Hi folks and happy new year to everyone. Purchased an 03 plate 172 back in June but also had a Golf V6 4motion ( read VV thirsty) and could really only keep one so the Golf went the week before Christmas. Leaving me, thankfully, with the Clio. I love everything about the car but will need to be...
