I take it that no one is then?? Been getting some right stupid quotes:- Sainsburys (done through esure) - £420 churchill - £830!! More than - wont even quote me!!

Its that time of year again when the dreaded insurance is due on the 172. My renewal from Directline came in the post saturday and has come down £100. Premium of £574.35 fully protected NCB (5yrs) +1 claim in 2003 (total loss) esure have now quoted me £390.93 for the same excess etc. The...

Saw a Black 172 going like the bloody clappers on the A47 last night (9/8/05) @ 7pm heading passed Dereham towards Swaffham. Then a very shiny blue 182 reg ending LLE around 7.30pm. Thorpe St Andrews Sainsburys. i followed you down Thunder Lane then today (10/8/05) a black 04 plate 172 in...

seen on the A47 approx 7pm near Dereham heading towards Kings Lynn on Sat night I was in silver mk2 172 - I flashed my lights but got no reaction :cry: Anyone??

Seen @ 8pm approaching the Bowthorpe rbout heading out of the city on Sat night. Think it was a mk2 but not 100% sure due to the fact i was walking and some distance away. Anyone?

I normally get around the 38 - 40mpg. Lowest has been 35mpg. (have seen it read 50mpg, but I had just filled up and got stuck in a traffic jam :p)

I paid £170ish. Be prepaired for the your rear pads are 75% worn quote. ;)

Only letter Ive had off renault this week is trying to flog me a new model. Mines started knocking now as well so will book them both problems in together.

Think Im right in saying no. (never tried hitting my car ;)) Think it just goes off the door pins and sensors inside.

Spotted today in East Dereham outside dereham tile centre (Tescos) 51 plate mk2 looked bloody lovely :D

Had my 24k service last month and was told my rear pads were 75% worn and wouldnt last till the next service. I thought this was strange to, but havent had a chance to take a look yet.

Spotted yesterday in Swan Street Ren Dealers in Kings lynn, Norfolk. Apparently its #16 out of 500 up for £15500 IIRC

My plate is AP0*OET any poets out there??? I had it valued at £900.

Dampers. What ever you want to call them. either way renault ones are sh*te!!

Rear shocks are prone to leak very early on with the 182. the 172 normally last 21k miles!! You will hear a clonk went turning into sharp corners etc. covered under warrenty if its hardly done any mileage. Craig

I have just replaced my p zeros with michelin exalto PE2s. Seem to be a much better tyre IMO. cost just under £80 per corner. [Edited by norfolkminis on 12 June 2005 at 9:25pm]

Seen today (sat) Black 172 mk2 heading towards norwich. You overtook me @ Swaffham. approx 10.00am I had just joined the bypass in a very dirty BRG Cooper (proper mini). Id just picked it up from the bodyshop.

Havent managed to meet you, even though your in the same area, but thanks for all the hard work youve put in over the years. All the Best Craig

Ive just fitted a set of Mich PE2s all round (195s) V. Impressed so far.

£170 for my 12k, then same for my 24k service. Best bet is to phone around. I was quoted anywhere between £170 and £200. ps dont forget to wrap the car up in bubble wrap!! theyll do their best to wreck the bodywork.

Just like to add my best wishes to Kathy & Wayne. As said before its a real shame a minority can have such an effect. thanks for all your hard work Craig

just checked out mytyres.co.uk - their coming out at £254.40 then theres the fitting etc, so not much cheaper. Thanks for the info.

The £318 was fitted, so £80ish. I was quoted £434 for the same tyres at my other local tyre place. hope they will last longer this time!!

Just had my mk2 172 serviced (24k) and Ive been advised that I need 4 new bands of rubber. Ive been quoted by my local ATS £318.88 for 4 - 195/45/16 V - Mich Exalto PE2s Are these anygood? The ones on my car at the mo are the original contis on the rear (24k miles) and Pherrili (sp) on the...

I done the job myself in the end. Not paying their stupid labour rates.

My rear shocks went at easter. 22k miles on a July 03 172. Not covered under warrenty. Tried at 2 dealerships aswell. some much for the 3yr 36k miles warrenty.

I know of a cup with clear lights. lives in Dereham. Last time i spoke to him (about 18months ago), his other half was blonde and would be mid 20s. There seems to be a few of us in the Norwich area.

lol. Hasnt she got private plates? this just had normal ones.

Seen to day whilst I was at a mini show @ Himley Hall. Dirty blue cup - didnt see reg - you were leaving about 3.30pm Black 172/182 - chap driving - think it had italic plates on. - about 3.45ish Black 172/182 - Lady driving - not far behind the one above. I was in a green cooper...
