just to let you guys know i have just re insured my car (well jan1st) 172 sport and im 21 with 4yrs ncb. This was £800 protected no claims or £675 unprotected and this was with priviledge. really top price after searching long and hard

very strange as i had this mod done and the noise has only started since!

i have noticed a creaking noise in my car on full lock. It seems to be only on full lock to the left and when the car is moving or is rocked back and forth on the clutch. ie going back and forth very small distances on a hill so just rolling back and then putting power back on. No idea where it...

muckytools was your knocking noise the same thing ie only round conrers on uneven surfaces? also did you carry the work out yourself? if so how easy and what time scale does this take?

o and i dont know if it makes any difference but when i had some new tyres they re did the tracking and for a few days the knocking noise had gone, but after that it gradually came back, as i said dont know if this would have anything to do with it?

i have been into renault who have replaced an engine mount and machined away bodywork around the top of my suspension strut to try and ridicule a knocking noise i get. Got the car back and its still there!!! It only happens when taking right hand corners on 3/4 to full lock and only on uneven...

it is an alpine pair its all good i found out the positive was infact the large one, all connected up and sounding slightly better than the originals, time for a new headunit me thinks

also does it matter which way round + and - are as the new speakers arent marked only that one connector is larger than the other. I was gonna guess this would be the positive side?

i decided to upgrade my front speakers in my mk2 172. When removing the old speaker i found it had a connector on it. Is it best to try and use this somehow or just cut the wires and go from there?

same as above i had issues engaging 3rd gear at pace, this was synchro probs. This was on an almost 3 year old just under warenty - this was covered 100% through warranty

i encounter a knocking/judderinhg noise when cornering tight corners quite fast/hard and only when its a right hand bend. It only happens on bumpy uneven surfeces and only on sharp/tight corners never long sweeping ones. (the most commen being up my local shopping centre multi story going up or...

i need to replace the clutch cable on my mk2 172 it has now gone for a second time leaving me with a squeking/jerky pedle and a heavier clutch action. I need to know how to fit one of these as im sure it wasnt done properly last time round (needs changing only 12months on). Is this a job that is...

My steering wheel was ripped on my mk2 172 by a very unhelpfull renault garage and so now i have to fit a new one. I have a new steering wheel to put on but just wondered how easy this would be to do? Renault want £40 to change it and as they ripped the last one i dont really want to go back...

mine was £900 on a 10month accelerator policy, im 20 with 3yrs ncb almost 21 adn have business use and 15k per year, this was with elephant

just a quick question, my 02 clio has had many problems such as needing two new ball joints and a new clutch. I have noticed since trying to sell it that it has problems changing from 2nd to 3rd when being driven hard, usually it is fine but if its being driven properly there is a grinding as it...
