Where is rickmansworth??? The car isnt on finance either, I gave them a big wedge of cash which was partly from my old car and partly from Cahoot so no joy there. Will talk to my mate at my local dealer as he sold me the thing!

Think Ill consult my mate who I got it off...

Tell them to look on the Renault computer systems at the ACTIS list!

Thats why Im kicking myself... Look how much Escort Cossies still fetch! :sick:

Ta

Thats what the engine is designed to run on... But you can go fully synth, I meant keep to 10W40 ACEA3 spec

How do I do this??? Its in its 9th week and Ive done 2100 miles so far... Where do I stand legally on this?!

I could have got an RS through work for £16k but at the time I decided not to bother and now Im kicking myself!

Wanna swap... ;) My mates mk1 172 has done 53k miles in 2 years and theres hardly been anything wrong with that, so I guess I got a Friday afternoon car! Need to nip into Preston to drop my mobile off at the Nokia centre for a software update, so that will only take a few mins and I can be...

My 13 year old R5 GT Turbo is more reliable!!! :o It rattles less too...

Probably the synchro on its way out... I wouldnt panic as the gearboxes do fail on the 172/Cup and it will be swapped under warranty if/when it does go!

Mines got less than that... If it aint sorted and behaving itself in the next few weeks then it will go!

Shouldnt need an engine flush at this age/mileage mate...

Either get it down to the dealer for a service ASAP or do it yourself, but either way I think the warranty is now void! Only use a GENUINE Renault oil filter and use a good 10W40 semi-synthetic oil if youre doing it yourself.

Getting fed up fo this bl00dy Clio now... Ive actually now compiled a list of the faults so far and to date its only 9 weeks old but the list is coming along nicely! :o Currently theres a PAS fluid leak, which I mentioned before and they were "meant" to have looked at, but it seems that...

Theres a brand new 53 plate Cup at my work too... Bang goes my exclusivity! :oops:

Its fine on both seats in my Cup, but on the passenger one on my mates 172 its stiff as f*ck and will surely break soon...

Nope...

Exactly...

Thats just the heatshield at the front, easy to sort yourself...

Yeah, it makes sense to shift earlier in the higher gears...

Well, hes already sold it, so we cant borrow it... :(

They both drop like a rock after about 6000rpm though! :(

Im alright tomoz if you want? do you mean at lunch? Yeah, lunch is ok for me, but it may be busy at that time?! Whenevers good for you really... How much does your m8 want for the AP22. Why is he selling? Not sure how much he wants, but its not that old and hardly used. He bought...

Yeah, not saying it was out of the ordinary for a 172/Cup, but Id prefer a nice smooth, flatter curve like the 306 had.

How come the torque curve is so variable?! Not keen on all the peaks & troughs on there and would expect a nice smooth curve like my old 306 Rallye had...

Sweet! Will sort it out for later this week then...

Stick your head over the back of the engine, look down at the manifold, then to the left of it there is a connector with a small metal heat shield on it which goes into the gearbox. Thats it I think...

Check the Superchips site mate, theres one on there...

Np m8. Have no prob postin them now I know it definately know it doesnt make a difference what hp I have...the times tell all! Yeah, power figures are just pub talk anyway, its times that matter! I really want to get an AP22 to see what me accel times are now. Must bee near 15secs to...
