There's a place called Top Coat in Oswaldtwistle. I know somebody who took their mini there. The back quarter panel had a huge dent in it next to the rear light. It looked like new when they'd finish it.
Might be worth a phone call...
Couldn't find any RB with colour coded side strips but some other colours so you get the idea how much better it looks.

Looks and sounds good in the advert. Hopefully it'll be as good when you go to view it.
The only thing it's lacking in my opinion are colour coded side strips and a roof spoiler.
Try Autodoc. If you download their app it shows alot more than on their website.
I've never had front brake calipers off them but I'm running their rear Ridex brake calipers and they've been fine.
They are like 2 small pieces of black tape that they came with from the factory.
They often don't get fitted after the front bumper has had a respray.
The car looks well, either way. I'm sure you'll have alot of fun in it. I've had mine since new from February 2006 and it still puts a smile on...
Looks in good condition.
I think the front bumper could have a respray? It's missing the small black stickers in the recess on the left and right hand side above the bumper.
No the half leather/alcantara was never an option on the 172 Cup. Somebody has retro fitted yours.
I'm not sure about the Cup having a spare wheel? Normal 172's did have a spare wheel.
Rustoleum combi colour is good on metal. Better than hammerite in my option.

The clutch in my 182 has always been heavy since new. It's also on 97k ( touch wood it's still got plenty of miles left) I also had a new 172, that too was heavy. I can only assume different 1*2s are all different.
I know when I've had hire cars or courtesy cars i feel like I'm gonna put the...
A bit more info here. There's plenty if you search the forum.
If you get the new " blue" sensor you also need the new piece of loom.
You could try removing it and cleaning it with a bit of sandpaper on the end and see how you go.
Good luck. I hope you get it sorted...
Crankshaft sensor?
Have a search on here. It's been a common problem for years were a car struggles to start.
There's an upgraded version that Renault released with an extra piece of wiring loom.
The link is just to show you what the part looks like. It looks like the loom is bought separate...
What issues are you having with your wipers that you want them to be more efficient?
I don't have any problems with my 182s wipers even in the heaviest rain.
There's no upgrade as you call it. Maybe you just need better wiper blades?
So you haven't tried to stick your hand under and touch it to see if it is leaking diesel? It'll take you 1 minute to check.
It'll fail its mot if its spotted when they test it.
I'd be looking to fix it sooner rather later.
Obviously it won't start if the immobiliser light is on. Try cleaning the white plug as suggested.
Just a thought. Do you have a second key? It's worth trying if you do.
Ahhh right. I assumed the car had been left standing not plugged in to a ctek.
Does your immobiliser go out when you put the key in the ignition and turn it to position 2 but not try and start it? You should only have 3 lights on in position 2. Stop, handbrake and battery light. The immobiliser...
