firstly ... how good is Zymol products and does anyone on here use and recommend them ?

Hi Knoxville,
thanks for the advice.
ive tried this on a prictae strip at my friends and the tyres loose grip at 80mph - im running 32 at the front and 30 at the back but im going to lower the pressure slightly to see if it makes any difference tomorrow.
jess:)
hi knoxville - very true words your type - i do agree with you.
i had goodrich on before and it may be me but i find the stability on the p zeros a little "loose" over 80
below 80 though - the best tyres ive driven with.
better stability on the bends - the tyres dont give as much as others...
what version of the v6 would you buy (money no probs) ?
is the older v6 better than the new v6 or the other way around ?
or isit worth paying around £16k for a second hand v6 ?
Thanks for your greeting,
there is so much to read on here - excellent though :)
Im very happyt with my 172 but am curious as if im to upgraqde to the 182.
is it worth the loss on my year old 172 and the retail price of the 182 in comparison? or should i just "chip" my 172 to increase...
hi !
Yeah i agree,
i couldnt get my preferred choice so i chose these to "test" so to speak.
they are excellent on dry road and on wet but above 80 mph they are unstable and the car "slides" on they wet compared to goodrich.

Just been running in pirelli p zero tyres
Ive had the balancing checked along with the alloys but i still find the tyres to be fairly unstable over 80 mph.
they are excellent on the roundabouts at normal speeds but over 80 they dont feel as good as my previous bf goodrich or goodyears...
Hi Im new here so bear with me !
Just curious ?
Why would you buy the new 182 over the 172 ?
what justifies the difference in price drop ?
does anyone have an opinion on this ?
for reference i own a one year old 172 and would be curious to see the argument?
thanks
Jessica
cheers guys,
chris_leic172 thanks for the info. yep mine is the rubber inserts on the steering wheel.
my 172 has done 18k and is 14 months old.
great car though but im now getting all sorts of problems with it which is annoying!
just hand gear box mounts done under warranty and air...
Does anyone else with a 172 have this problem?
my rubber on the steering wheel keeps splitting ! cant seem to replace it as it looks "injection" moulded into steering wheel - not %100 sure about this but it looks like it is.
can this be claimed under warranty ?
anyone ?
cheers,
Thats a fair Point - I didnt know that the 1st year was manufacturors, In fact come to think of it my 172 is over a year old now so there must be something in this topic of using other garages as long as you use renault parts!
the bit that went was the gear box mount - some piece of metal...
Just spoke to Reno - Official comment from customer services :
They first give you a case number on your complaint :
2 - ref : 172 You can actually miss your first service but EVERY other service must be carried out and at Renault Approved Garages to keep your warranty valid.
If you...

Hi Guys,
thanks for the advise - much appreciated :)
Are your comments based on personal experience ?
I feel that renault "force" you to service the car there to pay "over the odds" prices even though another vat registered garage can use official parts and do the same job for less money...
Hi , Wondered what peoples opinions are on this subject and would be grateful for any advice / info and whether other people experienced the same ! ?
My First Service on my Mk 2 172 was carried out on time but the service was done at my local (non renault) garage.
The Garage is VAT...
