will any of this be under warrenty?? as theres no way im spending £1k on getting the clutch redone which is what renault were quoting, the juddering was because when i first drove it i was essentially just driving off the clutch and with little to no gas and so when it juddeered it was like it...
i got my 172 around 2months ago now, at first i couldnt get to grips with th eclutch i just thought o well new car but 2months down the line im only just being able to pull off almmost 100% without juddering and im still not confident on hill starts, it seems the biting point is at the top of...
had exaclty the same thing i could put temp up but couldnt get it down again and as u it would just randomly even tho on min start blowing hot air, mine was down to a faulty mixer motor and air box or something similar, take it to renault asap i hope its under warrenty cos its a dash out 1-2 day...
how would u define better seats?? myself and my mate both rate my 172 seats as "better than his" there both very supportive but mine i feel more comfortable for those long journeys, the question is what kinda car do u want an all out hell for leather or something still very fast but more refined...
nice car has a new engine tho or something so not running the original i believe would be hard to sell on as well this guys been tying to sell for well over a month mate. Pricewise i rekon ud get it fgor around £5k also check out thoroughly as i heard on a dubious grape vine something was amiss...
the stop light and the handbrake light on my dash have recently taken a while to go off it used to be instant now it takes around 20-30seconds before thye flicker off?? possibly a loose conection?
it didnt affect my ncb as that still stood as it was no fault of my own, but did u attempt a quote without telling them about your rear ender? i just did to see if it made any difference and it did made almost 10% diff on my policy i was told this by at least 3 insurers and it was because of...
sadly it will effect your insurance when it comes up for renewal as statistics prove drivers who have had 3rd party incidents are more likely to go onto claim. i foundn this out this year when they put my quote up £104 because i had had a 3rd party go into the back of me 2 years ago
my car is still making strange noises, it varies from a creaking noise to a slight knocking noise, it happens when going over bumpy roads pulling away (less often) and when it has started making the noise once going over a bump you can turn the steering wheel and clearly hear the noise. Its...
take the spoiler off it as that is awefull but some parts are doen extremely tastefully lovinf how the rear boot has been done could be extremely nice with a touch more work i think
o ok sounds about right does anyone know if a clutch cable is covered? as my clutch is so pissin me off squeeky and very heavy! if not are these easy to fit yourself??
im just 20 and have a 172 knew a lad who was 17 couldnt run it after 3 months and sold it when he turned 18, also know two good mates (twins) (both jippos) one has a 330 cab brand new sports kit etc other has a slk320 merc(thinks thats it not the one with the metal convertable roof the normal...
my 02 172 has now got 33k on it, would u say this is highly over the average?? it keeps playing on my mind as before this car iv always gone for low milers?
funny u say that saner as i live in wokingham well barkham actually wherabouts is this specialist also with services is renault the only place i can get it serviced and keep the warrenty, they have point blanck refused to properly repiar or replace my steering wheel then treeted me like some...
iv found the tyres for near enough £40 fitting is the main thing cos all the nobs want cash inhand so basically theyll do it for free if u bung em £20 or so
who was it on here that supplies tyres, i need two possibly 3 in a 195 45 16 fitment looking for a cheapish option seen toyo proxes the newer style one for like £40 delivered so dont wanna be spending any more than that really.
this is what i mean im just getting fed up has the car for like 2months now just seems to be in the garage not because of lots of probs tho but just because of how sh*t the people working on it are, its really tempting me to look for a new car which is sucha shame because i love this car but i...
