Looks great! Ive got one on order right now to replace the 172 - in Arctic blue with full leather, climate and xenons added. I really like the Inferno colour but went for the Arctic in the end. Can I ask how long you had to wait from time of order? Mine has been confirmed for exactly 2 months...

I dont really see too many Clios around Harlow (seems to be overrun with CTRs whenever Im driving!) - see a couple of 16vs every day, another 172 (red - that seems to work at Darlingtons in Harlow) and the occasional Cup, but I dont know if any are members here.

I work there, and live quite close so am around it a lot! You live there?

Just as an aside and something I just thought of..... At the time when I hadnt a clue what was causing it and thoughts about fuel, oil and water were going around in my mind.......I checked the water before leaving to go back and it was right on the minimum. I topped it up before leaving and...

Wow thanks Jay and Ben. So is this something I could easily do myself if I get the part or am I best paying Renault to do it? (assuming that is the problem) I assume I just get the part from them? Any particular term to ask for to make sure I get the right thing? Thanks again for your great...

Errr I dont have a 3 year warranty (import), so Im screwed if it needs a new ECU!! I think what JAY172 and BenR said makes a lot more sense than a whole ECU being at fault. I hope :confused: ak_uk, did you speak to a dealer about it, or did it just go away? On my short journey to work today it...

Thanks both! Im not the most technical person under a bonnet, so youll have to bear with me if I sound like a dumb ass. So if it was that, then Im not damaging the car by driving it? Its just cutting my power because it senses "something" wrong with the car (even if minor) and doesnt want me...

Dont know if anyone has any ideas or has had this themselves? Today I was just coming to the end of an hour long motorway run in my 172. As I saw the turn off I wanted, I indicated over and noticed that my temperature guage had dropped down to cold. It then shot back up and down (like a boost...

ESP/traction came in around September 02 (52 plate), so if its 02 you wont have it. CD multichanger was removed (as std) from about Oct 02, so youll still have that. Early 52 reg ones (like mine) got traction/ESP and multichanger as standard

No it didnt. It started on 52 reg cars (possibly some late 02 if it was August). Mines 52 and definitely has it!

If youve got it, theres an ESP/traction button next to the dashboard light dimmer wheel on the right hand side of the steering wheel. Clear side repeaters came in from beginning of 2003 and ESP was, as said, about August/September 2002.

I did say before but it must have got lost in the mass of replies! You dont get 2 years on a Cyprus import (or Malta). You only get 1 year and yes, thats from the original sale date to the Cypriot dealer so you could end up with a 9 or 10 month warranty on a new car. I thought Id say it again...
