Well Ive had 3x 3rd gears including the one which came with the car and a new 4th gear and 5th gear as well as a new clutch. This is on a 03 172, with low milage and driven lightly. So maybe theyve realised that there maybe a little problem and are trying sort the them out at the source...

Same story from Camden MK. Ive had the 172 for 6 months theyve had it for 6 weeks of that. Combination of bad build quality and clueless monkey mechanics. During that time theyve damaged the dash, put a dent in the bonnet, and I reckon when they replaced 3rd 4th and 5th gear the first time they...

Also did Renaultsport mention that they had any future track days planned, I know the newsletter says next year but did they go into any more detail? Was going due to go to Donington but had to get a refund thanks to Camden MK not finishing the work on my car in time.

So was he covered by insurance then, or was it a very expensive track day for him?

Interestly mine is up for renewal now so have got a few quotes over the last few days, thought Id share with you. Age: 26 Car: 03 Mk2 172 NCB: 9 years Licence: 9 years No accidents 3 points - SP 50 not modified. low risk postcode (I presume, and I hope) All quotes were with...

Mk2 172 So far 2 months old: Whole new exhaust system, new seat runners, rear seat cushion, cowling, and possibly now a whole new dashboard due to the monkey mechanic damaging it, although they tried to cover it up even though denying it. Other problems though, wont start first time, runs...

Yeah cheers KDF, I hope so too

Interestingly enough I also brought it through staff discount, but I didnt think that Id get that discount knocked off the build quality too. Ill see how it goes, if they fix everything then fair enough. Its mainly the after sales service Im annoyed at and that some monkey who obviously...

Hi all Sorry to moan, but looking for some advice. On March 1st I brought a 172, 2003 spec, ESP being the only difference, not that it matters. Anyway Ive read a few posts of people having build quality problems but I really must have the "Friday afternoon after 5 stellas at lunch" car as...

Damn, I thought it would at least do the last one. Cheers for the info Are Renault going to do a proper chip or is this it? When I took a Cup on a test drive in February the salesman said that his mate who works for Renault HQ was testing a chip for Renault sport and it was pushing nearly...

Sorry for the silly question but what does the ECU upgrade do, and how much are they? Is this on a 172?

I think it varies, best check with insurer.

Thanks Steve tom, I dont think theyre is an industry standard as she asked if I got the 16 from the Glass guide as they use something different but I said no comes from renault, and she says that there are several different standards about. (sounds like make them up as we go along standards)...

First post so dont know whether its been mentioned before, although I did do a quick search and couldnt really find anything specific. Anyway my question is, what group insurance have people found their 172 mk2 to be in. The brochure says 16D, but just rang my present insurers - Adrian Flux...
