Morning all :-) Clio Gordini doesn't want to play ball this morning. Pressing start unlocks the steering wheel and the engine tries to turn over but does not start. Then get a message saying steering not locked. Taking the card out locks the steering again. Disconnected the battery for 30...

Erm.... All of you that went through the Woolworths.co.uk website... Did you get a confirmation order email? Told a few people about this and they couldn't find the box for the promotional code so checked it out myself. Chekout process is totally different and I couldn't login, sent password...

One of the best feking films ever! Know what you mean about the dials though, not quite as bad as yours, but the stereo turns itself off, the stop light comes on and the temperature guage goes from the bottom, to the top just like a rev counter. Renault cant find any fault :o

Shame when we have to resort to sh1t like this. Why I remember when I was a lad, we used to leave our front doors open:D

Not for much longer, got some lovely mini wireless CCTV cameras that Im testing for a client. Going to hook them up over the weekend and see if anything happens!

Dont know about Seedy, but mine is parked on the road. Doesnt help the fact that I live in Margate and the local pub has a late license:(

Yeah its looking that way, its going in on Wednesday for a new gearbox too. Only problem is I was supposed to be going to York on Tuesday, thats a 600 mile round trip, dont think so now!

Hello all, got a problem, have done a search, but couldnt find any answers. As of today my 172 has starting idling between 1000rpm and 2500rpm, its revving itself. Also the temp gauge is going all the way to the top, straight back to the bottom and then bounces around like a rev counter. The...

38.5K since Dec 02! New gearbox on the way

I hear what youre saying mate, click the link and read my response to that post...

Hello all, stumbled across this site just now by searching for 172 gearbox problems. I have a mk2 172 and have just been told I need a new gearbox at 36,570 miles. The problem was a nasty crunching when going into 5th between 6 and 7,000 rpm. Ive had the car for 14 months and have had the...
