    172 - How much Fuel to a tank or tenner

    Full Tank - 46 or so litres @ 106.9p at the moment. 325 miles per tank. So thats 10.2 gallons, which is near enough 32mpg. (Even though the computer says 34.8!) Around £50 to fill the tank, = 15.3p per mile!

    need help - clio seat cover - ebay

    I dont think anyone will take this up, my advice would be to email the seller and ask if he would ship to you. The problem is with international postage is its very hard to track, regardless of what you pay for. As Duncan Banatyne would say - "I'm out"

    Ticking Exhaust

    Milegae is low (25k). i understand its the cooling process, but why does it do it under normal driving conditions.... Other cars i've had or mates cars, only do it after a thrashing!

    Ticking Exhaust

    Ok peeps, after some wisdom. My exhaust ticks all the time when i turn it off after any length of journey and any sort of driving style. Now on previous cars, if i have been driving hard it would tick as its something to do with the gas particles expanding or something when the exhuast is...

    bt broadband...the saga continues....

    Your tests show a downstream of 1Mb which is what Broadband is measured upon. When the say "up to 4Mb" they mean download speed. Also could be worth finding out what BT have actually done.... If there is an ongoing fault this could be in the DSLAM (in the local exchange) or on either their ATM...

    Broadband Speed Improved.

    I work for a Telco, and we sell and support ADSL. The speed your promised and the speed you get are two very different figures, due to a number of factors, one is distance from local exchange, and the other main one which has been mentioned before is the actual kit you have in your house. Also...

    clio exclusive on ebay

    Always wary when feedback score is very low, this guy only has 1, but on the other side of the coin everyone has to start somewhere. Shame its not on original wheels too, exclusive are best kept standard IMO.

    French or 3/4's?

    3/4 front appeals to me also, IMO looks better. As long as the letters are legal size and the spacing is right, its just the surround your chopping down right ? When can these be sought from, back can stay as it is. Infact, when i bought my car they removed the GB plates too! How annoying...

    £6k For A '53' 172 FF?

    I paid £6000 for mine, 2 owner, black, 172, FSH with 23k on too, in September, I thought it was cheap at the time, but i didnt tell them that! Cambelt doesnt need doing as it only 4 years old... Aux belt at 5 years or 36k...

    182 trophy

    No Xenons or Climate Control ? Never knew that, presumed it would have with the 182FF having it. So just normal air con, or no air con at all? And standard cheaper to replace lights! Would still have one i reckon.

    95ron or better??

    I run on Super (and always have in the 172), yes the price is dear, the difference is 4p per litre, which is around £1.60 a tank, which isnt a great deal is it!

    Young 172/182 owners question

    Try Adrian Flux - Nice and cheap to insure, but can be a swine to clame from.

    How many miles/how much fuel a week?

    Full Tank - £46 last weekend, will last me 2 weeks and will get around 320 miles from that, all short journeys, no more than 10 miles at a time. Using quick math at 104.9p per litre (super) thats close to 33mpg. Im sure it'd be better if it was long journeys

    Post your favourite interior mod 172/182

    I like the Megane Foot Rest idea, how much are these bad boys from Renault? I presume its just a couple of screws to fit?

    3 days of ownership complaining already...

    Basically under the sales of goods act, the seller has a duty of care to provide you with a product which is fit. If you find it going a bit Pete Tong, speak to the garage and try and agree on a timescale to which you want it fixed by (2 weeks say) if that isn't met then you then have the ammo...

I took it back 24 hours after i bought it, there was a noise coming from the cam, belived to be a lifter issue, I also had the climate control fan noise, I...

    3 days of ownership complaining already...

    H86 ---- I bought a car that sounded a lot like this, and evetunally got a refund. Did you get it from a garage called HTC in Derby, if you did I may be able to shed some info on this one for you.

    Look what i found when i went for my dinner today :)

    Your company, if there like most will have a sign on the wall/fence saying no liability accepted for loss or damage to vehicles, so seen as the truck driver drove off, its all coming out of your pocket unfortunatly..... Such a lot of mither for something that isnt even your fault!
