    172 Record Breaker

    My my that is some serious careful motoring. I used to try and drive all m'way miles at 56mph. Mind numbingly dull, but sometimes more difficult than just driving faster than everyone in lanes 2 and 3. I just accept the cost of fuel now, and drive like I stole it.

    What Tyres?????

    I would spend a bit more mate. I know you don't want to, but it's so whack when you fit new tyres that are awful and have to drive them for months and months and months.... I put 4 Yoko jobbies on last time and I would recommend you have a go of my sister before I recommend them to anyone! I...

    Home Cinema/Speakers

    If you're finding it hard to get 2 optical inputs MAPLIN do a splitter that will join two inputs fro £8 and the even do a switch for more inputs. I tried a splitter from eBay which didn't work, but the Maplin one actually works really well.

    Number plate light

    Renault told me mine was out too after a 'healthcheck', but said it was only an £8 part, but out of stock. Seriously, what do they have in stock!?

    Moss growing on window seal...

    Phew, thought it was just me. Why would anyone wash their car in this weather? Rains every hour. I only noticed as I was rainx-ing away.

    Moss growing on window seal...

    All cars have recalls, but yeah this particular problem should NEVER have happened and Reno shouldn't have dragged their heals.

    Calibrating 172 Throttle pedal Help.

    Ok cheers, I've installed it already having done loads of searches and found nothing about installation. Hopefully my starting woes should be sorted having replaced this and the t'body.

    bonnet catch letter,

    P.S. Mine's an import too, doesn't make a difference. Just give them your VIN

    bonnet catch letter,

    They replaced mine this morning. Two visits, plenty of annoyed calls to reno UK (who were v.nice actually) an hour wait the first time, and an hour and a half this morning later and I'm sorted.

    kipper air freshener FTW! poor water into his tyres, so they'll never balance too. Will it push out more power? What's it running now?

    What will be different from when I had a mooch over your car Dave? It was proper noisy then, seemed to handle sweet as a fookin nut, be quite rapid and looked like piranhas had eaten all the fat from your car and left you with one big muvafukin induction set up.

    Calibrating 172 Throttle pedal Help.

    I've rec'd a replacement throttle pedal, and I thought the Haynes manual covered the calibration process, it just covers the calibration of the throttle body. Can someone enlighten me please? Thanks, John

    ok just and update. I fitted and calibrated a mint throttle body i bought from Has off've here. Test drove it last night, was faultless. This morning, the black beauty wouldn't start.

    Shaking steering wheel at 60+mph...

    standard 172 wheels. Found the cause, swapped the wheels over, wobble gone. Now i need to get my tyres swapped. And i've got 2 nails in my old tyres. Nice! Just hope it's my wheels that are at fault, and not the new tyres... Or i'll have to live with the wobble. Thanks for all the suggestions.

    Clio 182 - my opinion.

    I can recommend prolines. lowers the car a tad, enough to notice, handles better and speedbumps are NO problem.
