320touring Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 My 100% record of getting the lamda sensor fault in Clio 172s continues. As per, the code reader was in the glovebox so no concern I dunno if I drive them too gently- this came on whilst it was on Cruise control.

Sloth in a bowl Posted November 22, 2017 Author Share Posted November 22, 2017 Remember, you have the extra impediment of moving actual oil about in the transmission now. Hence the drop in mpg. 320touring and chaseracer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfella2 Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 You know when I contemplated taking yours on when you were thinking about selling it. Well I eventually talked the missus into letting me have a broken Clio of my own, mine is getting delivered tommorrow. Mine comes with borked engine, cataract headlights, green moss growing out of every orifice and brake discs that look like they were recovered off the Titanic. Can't wait.

unclecalzone Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 That’s very good mpg from one of these especially in traffic , I can barely breach 28mpg on my commute and it’s had new lambda sensors etc etc. On a run it’ll do 38-40 but my commute seems to just kill it.I only get 36 from a little 1.4 Vauxhall on the same run 320touring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfella2 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Don't want to hijack your thread too much. Yours is a late 172, mine is an early 182, probably a few months between the two. Weird thing is it's same colour with same wheels so looks almost same. If people are genuinely interested I could start a thread??

Different exhaust manifold and intake, different backbox, no spare wheel well and a different tune on the ECU:) Get a thread up - we need to share the misery! loserone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclecalzone Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Will have a bolted diff in the 182 as well not the circlip arrangement on 172s. A little better for taking a bit of abuse, not much mind 320touring and bigfella2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

320touring Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 It was out tonight at Scotoshite. Despite an owner enforced FTP (note, Clio 172 is not an electric car and requires PETROL to function) It squirted itself marvelously! Of the 5 to be in it (3 of which had a shot) we had a 100% utterance of "I want one of those" Job done, gospel spread! dome and chaseracer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

320touring Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 To add insult to injury, this now has a gaping hole where the tyre sidewall should be on the passenger front. It's abandoned at the Burd's parents, and I'll need to work out how to get a working car to get a spare and Jack over. Great bunch of lads, the Clio 172s!

320touring Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 So to tyres.. The fronts that are on it when I got it were not great, and the gearbox replacement didn't help much.. They got sacked off for a set of wheels from Ra burd's stranded Clio. 15", much more comfortable due to tread and sidewall. These worked a treat on the drive down to Cannock n back, so all was well. Until I lent it to the good lady.. That was Monday this week It now has 2 decent 16" tyres on it - handy as I need to do about 200 work miles this week. Then it'll need the tracking set.
