Ginge !

Been told by a Clio specialist a few weeks ago the my issue with 5th gear popping out will be the nut on the end comes loose, does it all the time he said

So today off with the end casing and was greeted to this.







Good news was the end nut is on perfect and tight

Anyone know where I can get a engine and gearbox for a 172 Clio,,,,,, ideally with. Warranty lol

Poor car, I I treat it so well too well I try to

You could get that refurbed by Agency Transmissions.

Well respected in the Clio community.

Ginge !

It's very very very loud, the dephaser was knocky but now it souds worse, trying to source a decen engine and box to start again

Nick 172 Sport

i woudnt bother thinking off scrapping mine french shite to the op if i break mine might have a engine and box 50k

Ginge !

Why you scrapping it ?

I honestly love the car, it does get abused though and high speed motorway driving was done for almost every day for a year

Still a very fun car to drive and phase 1 clios are getting rare but also this is getting on in life too

do a chip and stick a saab engine into it

jamie's

chips puting a honda engine in his not a saab engine, but we know what you meant

Ginge !

Think being honest I might just buy another Clio as the value just ain't there and needs a few other bits too like aircon rad, wing painted after I hit a rabbit, roof needs spraying and new pads on front, the list goes on

I'm riding my bike to work these days and weekends I generally drink so don't actually need a car tbh and my Subaru needs to be finished too so think its about that time to strip bits and scrap it unless I get a cheep engine and box as 750 for both is a bit extreme considering you can buy them for 1000 to 1800 quid

Martin and Ade know how to build the boxes for sure.

If you want it done say that Jeff from Geartech recommended them.

Ginge !

Tbh it just needs both cogs changing for 5th gear, just need to find a 5th gear I can use

If its t&t'd and insured just let it "disappear".
They maybe good round a track but their shite at everything else,apart from rusting as their 90% plastic.
One of the worst cars I've seen in a crash as well,what little metal they use bends very easily.
What's wrong with scooby?
I may know for one broken,it's been a while but I'm pretty certain the mong involved wont have sold much off it.
Was bumped but drove great,he crashed it pissed and lost his licence!!!!
The only bits I know are gone are the cat and lambda/downpipe.

What a mess.

Ginge !

Impreza is still being done though I just being lazy, won't be long though tbh

I'm going to stick a longer 5th gear and see what I can about the engine as I do love driving it
