Since the time came to part with my Ph2 172 after 5 years and 100k miles, I bought this little "toy" a couple of weeks ago... It's a Clio 197 Lux. The standard specification is listed here... http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/clio197/specification/Default.aspx The...

As the title says... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261041102058

I bought my 197 last week. One of the many options is the iPhone connector block that is attached to the side of the glovebox. It has a few connections and one cable connects to the iPhone. When I connect the iPhone to the cable, the songs can be controlled via the stalk, etc... but the songs...

I'm wanting to connect my iPhone to the car and have it play through the speaker, etc... My headunit does not have an AUX connection thing so I suppose I would have to look at getting a replacement headunit. I'd only want something cheap and cheerful but what I was wondering was... if I replace...

Am I right in assuming the standard (Ph2) Clio 172 head unit is not compatible with iPhones as I'm looking at connecting my iPhone to the car and running music through it?

Is this an easy job to do? Last time my bulbs went, I took the car into Renault and they did it in about 15mins and charged me about £20 for it.

I don't have any words yet but will put something together soon. But for starters, here are some videos I have uploaded from the "on-board camera" we rented :) Damian Hill - Renault Clio Sport 172 - Nurburgring, August 2011 (BTG: 10:06) Damian Hill - Renault Clio Sport 172 - Nurburgring...

A couple of weeks ago, on my way back from Mallory Park, friends told me one of my headlights was brighter than the other. A pic was taken of my mates car but you can see mine in the background and you can see the drivers light is brighter than the passenger... Does anybody know why this...

Are there any visible signs of a wheel bearing gone or on its way out? I had the rear(s) replaced about this time last year and it appears the NSR is on its way out... again. Grrr! So apart from the what can only be described as a whirring/grinding noise, which is similar to the noise I...

What is your area like, for trouble, vandalism? I woke up Sunday morning, went out to the car and noticed this... I noticed several other cars had been targeted. The tw*ts responsible put the snapped wiper on the roof of my car. They also removed the car aerial and that too was put on...

As above please. Currently have anthracite Turini's, but looking at going black :)

I bought my '51 reg. Ph2 172 approx. four years ago with 25k miles. It now has 101k miles and it's still going strong :) In August 2010, I had the cambelt, auxillary belt done as well as a few other bits (service, brake discs, pads, hoses, etc...), which cost me approx. £1k with Mike/Dave @...

I bought a couple of standard Ph2 172 wheels last week for £100, including tyres :) As I've never had these wheels before (have always had Turini's), I noticed the centre cap is attached using a key. I popped into a local dealer who said the key is priced at £14.00 + VAT. I have just...

In less than 100 miles, my car will be hitting the 100k miles mark :) Still going VERY strong for a '51 plate 172 :) I'm due to have the clutch done soon. Anything else "major" that I should be looking at replacing?

I had this minor problem before, which Rentech sorted when I had the car down there for a service. The boot does close, just... but the lid is loose causing it to knock when going over bumps. Does anybody how to solve it? I'm assuming it's just a case of tigtening some bolts up as opposed...

I have found a few similar threads regarding this problem. When I flick to the multichanger in my '51 172, the following error message is displayed... ERR CD 3 A few of the threads on CS have mentioned putting a CD cleaner in there to help clean the laser/lens. However, the eject button...

Arrived at 10:45am and left at 5:30pm. Had a good day, apart from the ridiculous three hour drive home. It took about an hour just to get from the field car park to the main road. STUPID! Anyway, here are my pics...

I bought the new style Renault Sport badges from K-Tec a while ago. Does anybody know if they or anybody else sells the new "RS" badge that is fitted to the grill on the new 200's?

A friend of ours paid approx. €300 to have a passenger lap in the Aston Martin on Sunday 9th August 2010. For a few extra €'s, he was able to take the in-car footage on a USB stick and I have uploaded everything from it, which includes a couple of vid's of him, one being very short, but...

Has anybody downloaded it? I just have. Will test it out soon.

I was at the 'Ring weekend just gone and my my my... the tyres and brakes couldn't be better :) Such an improvement on last year, which was Toyo Proxes T1-R's and standard discs/pads all round. I'm currently running Michelin PE2's all round and Brembo HC discs, DS2500 pads and braided hoses on...

It appears our trip co-incided with another CS members trip as I have just seen the other thread :) I spotted a few CS's during our stay and managed to get pics of a few with the Cup staying in the same B&B as us. I was in the 172... My mate was in his Evo 6...

Who are you? :)

This has happened on my car for a while now and I've been down to Rentech for them to try and identify the problem but it's been unsuccessful. I can now get the knock to happen when I want... providing I'm on some uneven ground (e.g. gravel). If I'm stationary on gravel, turn the steering...

For a while now... when I'm doing track days, etc... I do get some rubbing when I'm turning heavy into a corner and it's sooo frustrating because... the car's only lowered 30mm on Eibach springs on the 16" Turini's with standard shocks... (Enjoying a bit of cocking the leg) How...

Recently, I've had a rubbing/grinding noise coming from the rear wheels, which turned out to be the NSR wheel bearing. As the bearing is part of the disc and as discs/pads are changed in pairs, I bought new discs/pads and bearings and had them fitted for a total of £170, which wasn't "too" bad...

What are the normal signs of a wheel bearing on its way out or may need replacing? Or... a hub? When I'm driving on a dual carriageway, I get quite a lot of road noise. It's started happening at lower speeds too. I first noticed it when I'm doing 75mph. If I'm doing 70, it's there but can...

A couple of my mates spotted him on the M25 early one morning and... well... their exact words were... "Damo, do you know that c**k in a Trophy with a black bonnet and bootlid. His driving's fcking awful". So... I knew straight away who they were talking about. Has Matt moved away from here now?

My car's due its 74k service, which will also be the cambelt jobby. I've been quoted £600 (including a service) by Rentech and I "always" take my car there and have never been anywhere else with it, over the last three years of owning the car. I've been to a local Renault specialist who has...
