Mine done it all last winter. Come to think of it my Mini done the same today. Nothing to worry about.

loosing 5+ yrs NCB seems abit harsh. Sure if you claimed it would be 3yrs NCB. Do you have protected NCB?? As said before better off not going through insurance if you can afford it, if you get no joy from the insurance company. hope you get it sorted out.

thats the one ^^

Is it the washer ball leaking and not just the washer bottle?? Ive had 2 new bottles fitted in 12 months (common fault with 172) and 2 new washer balls. ( 1 each side). either way all was covered under warrenty.

Ive had a set on the front for about 6 months now. Cant fault them. Hardly worn at all. I do a 50 miles trip 5/6 days aweek.

looks like turinis gets the vote

never taken mine below 100 miles left. So dont even know if the red light works!!

welcome. Get ready for that poke!!

Just got my renault mag. Theyve bought out a cup version 182. available in blue and inferno (orange). basically same as what they done with the 172 cup. If your looking for a 172 in the norwich area DONT buy Y401PBJ it was my old Mk1 172 and I stacked it big style. last time I heard it was...

My 172 came with AP**OET I aint a poet though. must be worth a few quid.

Ive just insured my 03 plate 172 with directline. 26yr old, live out in the sticks. 4yrs NCB £620 Fully Comp £700 Protected. No points (yet) 1 claim in 2003 (wrote off my mk1 172) BTW mine came down £200!!! http://www.directline.co.ukwww.directline.co.uk [Edited by norfolkminis on 14...

you will do!! lol

I use mine a fair bit. Do all my driving mainly early am or fairly late evening. Cant see what can cause it to leak as theres nothing else in that area.

mines going back to the dealer next week for its 2nd washer bottle. God knows why they keep cracking. glad its still under warrenty.

My Mk1 developed the 4k rattle just before I wrote it off!!

just found the paper work. I got £9200!!! that was directline

I wrote off my Mk1 172 last July. Y reg (french import) on 30k miles. Took their first offer at £9k if I remember correctly. (oh it also developed the 4k rattle the week I crashed, maybe I got extra for that?!?) I would personally try for a bit more. Good luck

No arguement at all. Just said I take its covered by warrenty,as the last 1 was. Car is just turned 1yr old. They just said yes no problem well give you a call when its in. Think the balls go for approx £5 IIRC.

Im getting my 2nd one replaced under warrenty this week. - All good fun

sounds like renault put his horn in my 172 then. I wonder if renault will change it, cos its embarrassing.

Now Im worried. Mine sounds feeble. Its better to wind the window down and yell abuse!!

happened to mine a few months back. took it to renault to check and they changed a faulty bonnet switch. Went to pick it up and it went off again. They plugged it into their fancy pc and monitored it. In the end it went off on the hour every hour!! apparently it does a scan of the sensors...

booked my 172 in for its 12k service for monday. £170 was quoted £185 to start with until I played off 2 different dealers. Seems to vary from £130 - £180ish depending where you are.

I was told they charge more because their dealership is in a bigger town and the other one is out in the sticks!! I dont care as long as its kept in warrenty. He soon dropped the price when I said Id go else where.

Just booked my 172 in for its first service (12k) First price I was quoted was £184.82p!! phoned my other local garage and got quoted £175. slight difference me thinks. So I phoned up the first garage, who I got the car from as new. And hes doing it for £175 plus Ive got a £5 off voucher...

My 172 ones have worn through @ 10k miles. total sh*te!!

My 172 does it if either you open the door to quickly after unlocking the car. Or the normal reason is the door or boot isnt shut fully. May be a dodgy door pin switch??? Hope you get it sorted.

got mine this morning. Good plug for the club

Its the plug under the seat. but not sure about wether it affects the airbag deployment. i know of a couple that have had these problems. 1 had the plug changed under warrenty. Hope you get it sorted

Im also with them and hopefully nearing the end of my claim. Only been going since last August!! HIC isnt the problem, its Highway. Thats who your insured with and their mailto:cr@p">cr@p As soon as i get my 3 yrs NCB back Im off to a decent company if theres such a thing.
