mate - go straight to the complex manager! They said it before - so do it. be assertive and say that ist not acceptable. then just keep quiet and let him squirm. wait till he comes up with what he thinks he should do. If he doesnt, ask him "what do you think of this situation?". "what are you...

Rich-D - im really ignorant about this, but why would you shift earlier in bigger gears? Also, why would that only apply to bigger gears? I thought it was best to shift when the shift light came on? cheers for your help boys.

agreed - that is very "at the edge" - yet still in control. very impressive.

mate - the serv light should come on and ANOTHER light should come on at the same time to identify what the problem is. if its the airbag one then you have a very very common problem - that the airbag sensor under the passenger seat is a little loose. get the dealer to fix it up if its this...

what an absolute chump! i cannot understand in any circumstances at all why someone would do that. Honestly none at all, other than if he was supposed to be one of those guys that does kids parties and turns up as a clown in a clown car.

do all cars get that domaul?

lee - didnt see your message mate. i also had that banging under hard acceleration and am getting the engine mount sorted (its in for quite a few things!!!!!). thing is it doesnt do it when stationary through revving - the only thing i get then is the 4k rattle (hence getting that sorted as...

jpmad4it2 - its not the 4k rattle if that what you mean - ive got that and thats being sorted - this one is a different rattle that comes as i accelerate hard over anything but an even surface. It sounds a bit like a drill if that makes any sense?

...basically when i accelerate hard over anything that isnt dead flat road it starts to kindof buzz/rattle under the car. For someone not technically minded like myself, could it be the drive shaft???? has anyone else had this? martin

Locky - thats probably why the MR2 would lose in a race with the 172 - more paint=heavier;)

jpmad4it2 (now that is a name!!!!) - i have got 3 of the problems you have (rattling dash, rattling window and creaky clutch). dash - fook knows what to do. problem is ive heard of stories of people going into dealer about the rattly dash and then driving away with MORE noises. im scared of...

sounds like exactly the same thing i had with my 172. took it to the dealership and they said I have an oil leak in my 2nd and 3rd gear "selectors" (or something to that effect - im not a great mechanic). Before that I had missed quite a few gear changes into 2nd and third under pressure. take...

top work mate - not enough gets done for mums and dads in my opinion. its funny to think about just how much they have done for you in your life isnt it? well done mate.:D

thats an interesting point - in the uk 172 comes with 16inch standards. In oz they come with 15inch standard. what would the difference be if i got some 16s, and should mine alsoe accelerate a little quicker than yours in the uk? martin

allow me to be the first to welcome you mate! Sure youll love it on here.

lol @gav

reno do get some stik dont they? Sometimes I feel people should be a little more forgiving of them. Then I remember thats their basic job and they cant even get that right most of the time. bring it on!!!!!!

10 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!! are you fekin serious!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Judging by Renault build quality, my car will be a convertible by then!!!!!!

AGREED JILLY - THAT NO43 - SHES A TROG!!!! didnt think much of 48 either, however the one on the tvr was preeeeeeety.

or maybe the girl in the silver shorts cleaning those parts that a man just cannot reach!!!

youre a kind man do you know that.

mate - just read through the whole post and LOVE the conclusion you have come to!!!!!! I have a MK2 172 Iceberg Silver and think it is the best of the bunch that ive seen. Black is cool but cr*p to keen clean. silver is all class. top decision.

mate - did you see the aceleration of the audi at one point in that clip. feck me!!!!!! hes already up at 250km and then the camera comes back up and the audi has simply gone. serious machine!!!

welcome mate. Im sure youll love it here. sorry - dont know germany well either. know they make cracking videos though...........;)

"they also get peak power at 6250RPM instead of 6750rpm in Mk2." is that true????? I thought they had eactly the same engine???? i thought it was just that the mk1 is lighter, but the mk2 should have better gearing?

mate - sorry to hear about that. Hope it all turns out well - like you said at least you can get yourself some new headlights for it!!!!! must say that is the nicest ive seen of that model - top looking car mate. martin

its the only picture of a nova infront of a clio that ive seen!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah - i get the same in oz as well!!!! I say its a Renault Clio Sport. Funnily, quite a few of my mates over here who know about it usually answer for me and say "its one of those little Clios with 124killowatts - it flies". had a girl ask me to take her out on a second date, saying "when...

mate - that looks seriously good. Have they replaced your normal roof with a lightweight plastic one to make it go faster?;) Martin

looks very good mate - def go for it. martin
