Be a man and get yourself down to the clinic! Seriously though if thats all the AA found wrong with the car then i would buy it before someone else does. Im not sure that the AA are all that thorough and wont appreciate what a rarety the willliams is. Get it checked out at buy a specialist or...

Its pretty easy to change if its owt like the R5.

Trim is covered for 1 year then renault will pay 80% for the remainder of the warrenty

How do i flush my cooling system?? A curry usually does the trick! ;)

Just got the 172 exclusive back from Gordon Lamb chesterfield and am well impressed with the service. They replaced tones of bits on the car free of charge even though renault hq will only pay 80% for the trim bits as its over a year old. And the cost to me was £0.00, they lent us a courtesy car...

anyone know if it will be a straight forward transplant into a 172? ie are the mountings similar will it physically fit?

If anyone has a seperate key fob for the alarm its a strong possibility the car is an import. The uk cars came with an integral alarm/imobilizer on the same keyfob.

Something special about the 172. I have had problems with renault and the car since the word go but dont think another car would give the grin factor. It cant be explained by marks out of 10. On paper there are probably better buys. However when i look at my car in a crouded car park with the...

I think you will find they are about the same 0-60 and valver has better top end and as you say puntos are not known for their cornering ability. I have had a valver and only had trouble with clutch cable - wrong size.

You mad? None of them would compete with a valver unless your talking about the CTR and the prices are way more than that of a decent valver so you could still save a packet and pay for any repairs. Besides at the side of those mentioned valvers are bomb proof. Elecrtics can be a bit twitchy...

I think he should be in for some serious capital gains tax?

No reason why ph2 wont fit on ph1 is there?

Yeah not very dark though are they, they call em chrome io just want something that blends in with the boot not stands out. Anyone got undamaged rear lights they want to sell Fred maybe?

Fed up with standard ph1 172 rear cluster (big and red) Need to change them for some dark ones to match the car Scarab Green (V DARK) Hopefully someone has some aftermarkets for sale or alternatively has some originals that i can buy and spray them as i dont wont to spray my own as they will be...

Yeah sorry i forgot to dis-engage my personality and use my automated greating message, ooh look here it is! Welcome mike, and thanks for the offer of advice!;) Sorry for being sceptical but its hard to tell the difference between a genuine newbie enthusiast and the typical laxpower don who...

How is three items extensive range?

Its getting worse over time

Can anyone help. Dont think the exclusive is any different than standard 172 electrically but its only done 8k and the trip computer keeps reseting itself to zero. Not only that but its getting increasingly dificult to start the car the battery seems to struggle to turn the engine over and makes...

Yeah a friend ov mine has just purchased an R reg 22B import with 400bhp. A Service on that will right it off. The front bumber/valance is £2000

I know its a seperate issue but when i changed the power steering pump belt on the mother inlaws R5, Renault Ilkeston co-op parts department gave me a belt that was 40mm dia. to small, even though i gave them the old belt as a reference. Its also the same dealer that sold me an import as a...

I had some old Renault literature that quoted the CUP as 90kg lighter than the ph2 172 I will try and dig it out and post it!. Dont care anyway i have had both and my current 172exclusive is quicker than the lot. Doesnt make sense as i think its heavier due to the BBS alloys etc but it defo...

Thanks Jeremy Is anyone stopping at a travel lodge or anyplace the night before?

Im already having withdrawal symptoms Eddd Even if the club are not ready to go this year i will be going. Unfortunatly i smashed the valver up which i used in Easter but on the bright side i now have a 172 so there should be no stopping me! See ya soon! (think Nick read was possibly gonna...

woo hoo! Finally i win something, see you there people.:)

Orange cleaner (citric acid) for worktops and general stuborn stains works a treat on alloys, used to use Autoglym alloy cleaner but this is just as good

Its there to keep the twocers away from the clio. Hopefully they will nick that for a joy ride and not the 172

Jas or minions Yes i am suffering, :(so someone organise another trip to Belgium!;) Thanks Scribbler

1. Its ph1 on an 02 plate because it was owned by Renault TO GO so only got registered in may 2002. It belonged to a renault employee and only did 5k so we are the first members of the public to own the car even though its classed as second hand. 2. Its quicker than the ph2 because i have had...

check the vin plate with renault and make sure its not an import i got stung once. I have just bought an exclusive and shes a bute! i think you will find if you check with renault HQ there are only 172 genuine models and they can all be traced by their VIN plates.
