missy thats rubish ! lay off renault, would you say that if you child was in the car that recently caught fire ? no i dont think so and as we own a 172 in the family we are not prepared to take the risk and have it burn the house down or burn my kids.
what a load of rubbish you speak -...
we have written to renault today outlining this problem as what moose1978 says is very true.
if renault get enough of these letters then they will be forced to look into the potential problem before someone gets hurt. its not difficult for a company the size of renault to address this...
it may be drastic but you cant replace children of family in general.
while agreed it is only a few examples - it only takes one more and if kids are in the house or worse if you cant get your friends or children out of the car in time you have deaths on your hand and that will be one too many .
serious as cancer !
we have already prepared a letter to go to renault tomorrow.
this link here must be read by every 172 owner before someone gets seriously injured.
sorry if this has been asked before :
can anyone print on here the head office for renault uk please ?
im doing a search on internet anyway but if anyone has it that would be great.
thanks
we have two children sleeping above the garages and we dont use the 172 a lot so if it caught fire it would be too late for our babies.
letter off to renault in the morning and a phone call.
will update on here when we learn more.
moose - really feel for you -
you should be treated so much better by renault and thank god your ok.
really worrying developments on your car mate.
we own a 172 mk 2and the kids sleep above the garages in the bedroom.
we are now parking the clio outside as from tonight.

Just reading the article regarding the 172 mk2 fires.
does anyone think we 172 owners should contact renault with the concerns.
just seen the pics of the owners cars on here and its worrying.
we have children sleeping in the room above the garage and if the car caught fire what chance...
good points edde
hate to have to replace an exhaust on a 15 yr old ferrari ! ouch !
v6 is one nice car but the kudos of the ferrari - now thats the dilema!
if you had £27,000 to go buy a v6 clio say ?
would you either choose a : v6 clio
or b : second hand ferrari e.g 348 ts (left hooker) or 308 ?
for a similar price ?
ive ordered previously a key from renault some time ago and i think its programmed at the dealer so it basically comes as a "blank key"
hope this helps
just seen a v6 clio 2001 model on autotrader for £12,695 !
thought it tempting but then its a left hooker )-:
shame
but then again a v6 for the price of a 172 !
im an easy going person who thinks business should be conducted in a friendly manner and i personally cant understand people like this - seriously.
whats their problem.
if a customers comes to our business and want to spend £10 or £100,000 we aim to be as friendly as possible to make the...
they failed to call back after 7 requests to take order and discuss options.
then emailed them twice with no response.

peter the sales manager -
the most arrogant t**ser the uk dealership has ever seen!
it takes a real w**ker to blow a 27 grand sale!
avoid this company like the plague.
lol dont get me started on renault !
gave renault ilford a call to purchase one of their v6s !
three calls initially, then another two and still the sales guy couldnt get his act together with a price !
had to complain to the dealer principal in the end !
talk about a fight to part with...
yeah ive read quite a few commetns about the 182 .
personally i own a 172 in blue and am very pleased about it.
just curious as to what other users on here think ?
i havent bothered upgrading to a 182 even though its in my budget as im really happy with the 172.
what would you prefer chaps and chapesses ?
172 or 182 ? and why ?
get a 172 cheaper now or have the latest model clio the 182 at at retail price ?
all in discussion
:D
