Get a CTR!!! That would be my preference and is my preference after part ex-ing my 172 a few weeks back. Apologies Acrebo "some 172s" temporary text blindness there!!! Apologies in advance for the unhelpfulness of this posting. Oh and if anyone comes across my beloved 172 "FH53 BCZ"...

the 182s come with cruise control where as some 172s dont. Someone posted up a list of all the modifications a few weeks back.?????? Funny, my 172 had cruise comtrol!!!!

I came across this Sat Nav / Speed Camera detector today in MotorWorld "Check Link". Seems pretty cool and reasonable for the price £299...

Have found that my drivers side mirror whistles also... And the windscreen wiper a little. If anyone knows how to ressolve let me know.

OK - maybe Im tight... Probably like a lot of 172/182 owners I will/tend to only put Optimax/Ultimate in my car. At 85.9p / 86.9p a litre respectivly "around Leicestershire anyway" is it worth it. Im sure Ill continue to put these brands in "Optimax prefered", but what f**ks me right off is...

Purchased my 172 from Motorpoint Derby in Jan this year - No problems at all, apart from the part ex price and the feeling that your queing in a doctors surgery come pick up day... But you cant argue with their prices.

Apologies for this, Im sure your all optimaxed to death. OK - Some people have posted comments relating to optimax and ultimate losing both their RON rating and their addatives when left standing in a car for a period of time. Is this the case?. The reason I ask is that I pretty much only use...

How much to replace the glass? £50.00 xs, got it replaced last night - so not too bad considering - Like I said, thank god it wasnt the body/paint work.

Yeah - could have had someones eye out - Thank F**k it hit the glass and not the body-work.

Yesterday took the opertunity to mow the lawn, being a nice day and all. Anyway ran a little close to the edge of the lawn over a few stones. This resulted in a broken mower blade but more annoyingly - see the following pics...

Mate - try Admiral - believe they are the parent Co to Elephant. Was with Elephant last year and Admiral beat their quote this time. £415 fully comp with protected no claims on a 53 172. Mines import also, they never asked.

Anybody had any issue with their rear wheels sticking slightly on their 172 when parked for a few days or after a relatively short time after being driven in damp conditions. Is it a general isue or just with mine.

Any-one got a pic of their 172/182 with the front splitter?. Who much do they retail for?. Best to get from Renault or any other source?. Are they easy to fit?. Sorry cant think of any further questions!. Cheers.

Anyone know where I may purchase a Renault logo etching/sticker for car "back" window. Have checked the obvious "here and e-bay" but cant locate. Im pretty sure Ive seen one somewhere but cant remember.

OK - Any suggestions for removing the dealer sticker from the back window without making a mess or picking at it for days on end. Any solutions - methods or recommendations would be gratefully recieved. Cheers...
