Gaz - its not renault that stamp it. Its the dealer that sold it to you. So its some Motorpoint muppet ;) I remembered reading a thread on here about the stamping so I phoned my supplier before delivery and reminded them to stamp it which they did. But they didnt fill any of the info in - then...

Hi When my new 172 was delivered, there was scuffing to the passenger side front alloy. The scuffing was on each of the raised bits on each spoke and its gone into the lacquer. My supplier said that I am welcome to get it repaired and they will foot the bill. Anyone know of any good mobile...

OK then.......so at the moment, my trip comp is telling me Im averaging 32.5mpg and have used 5.3 gallons of my 11 gallons. It is therefore estimating about 140 miles till filling up. BUT the manual petrol guage is only one line from empty. What do I believe? If the computer is wrong on the...

Mine is at 210 miles now. It proves that there ARE disadvantages to working locally!!! Ive had to work hard to get that on it. What MPG are you getting? Im actually quite impressed with mine (although I did drive a turbocharged car before so Im used to very crap MPG). I havent reset the trip...

Very true......although it does get a nice exhaust/induction note as the revs build, but certainly nothing brash or tacky. I just went up the road to get something from the shops, had to stop at a pedestrian crossing and this BMW (no idea which) flew up behind me. When I pulled away on green, I...

Hi Gaz Certainly does, but do you find that it never really pushes you back in your seat, and the only way you can tell how quick it is, is by looking at the speedo and the line of traffic in your rear view mirror?? My previous car always felt quick as well, although I know that the 172 is...

Hi Viceroy Yes, Id be interested in the other figures. What % of weight on front wheels do you use for the 172? I opted for 60%. Ill take my gear ratios for the 172, because they are off a Renault C of C so they will be 100% correct. They are pretty similar anyway. Interestingly (and for...

Funny, I was just hunting out the same info earlier to put into Cartest to see what performance figures it churned out. They were listed on the C of C that I was given when I bought my car. They were in decimal format though, but I believe you just do 1/d (where d=decimal) to get them in the...

I thought that getting rid of an Italian car would rid me of crappy electrics in a car........either that or my new 172 has a record time for going wrong after delivery! 3 times now when Im driving around, the SERV light comes on, along with the ABS light and the traction control/ESP (whatever...

Interesting you say about the GAS/GAZ light. Take a look at page 1.43 of the owners handbook. That position on the dash is either the over revving light (which is on mine) and is a image of a gearstick, or (quote) "LPG mode operating indicator"

Mine is 52 - its brand new (delivered last week). If other 172s go to 160 and 8k, and you two go to 140 and 7k, the question is, have yours been calibrated to show the correct speed based on your speedo, or are they calibrated for the other one and showing the wrong data on yours? Although I...

Sorry, forgot to say. I spoke to my importer and mentioned your case Gaz, and he suggested the following: That speedo calibration needs to be more strictly performed for the UK, and that the section has to come out to do that, and maybe some monkey has been putting the wrong dial set on to a...

msdew - mines imported and it has the aluminium dial surrounds and goes to 8000rpm. Do either of you two (msdew, or gaz) know which country yours were imported from? Maybe there is a pattern? Mine was Cyprus and is all up to spec - my supplier tells me this is because they are honest people to...

Yes, mine is only a few days old to me, and has a manufacture date on the C of C of the end of September. I can tell its a recent mk 2 anyway because it has the ESP/traction control thingy, which I know isnt on all mk2s. Although I cant get the bugger to come in - it handles too well! I would...

LOL - youve done in a day, what it took me 5 to do!! Mind you I only work 7 miles away! Ive been very good up until this evening. I hadnt taken it over 4k or 90mph, but I was overtaking a line of traffic this evening up a bypass and wanted to get to the front, so I had to keep it in 3rd. What...
