Oh right, typical journalist getting it wrong! Did you read the article in the Observer the other Sunday, the guy was well impressed with the Trophy, and compared it to his old Peugeot GTI 1.9! He also said it was a dying breed of car, as everything is becoming larger and heavier...

Is it true that the larger V6 spoiler interferes with the aerial, and stops the hatchback opening fully? Anyone had this prob?? Cheers Mac

It is bizarre, I didnt even see a valver over there... The other bizarre thing is that 98 ron fuel is available at EVERY garage, so they wouldnt even have to hunt around for Optimax!!!!

Ive just come back from a 5 day trip driving in France, and what surprised me was the lack of Renaultsport cars in France, or should I say complete non-existence! I didnt see either a RS Clio or Megane in the 1300 miles I covered..... This was highlighted in La Rochelle, where the 172 was parked...

Clart, Stick my name down for one. Cheers Mac

I think theres a cambelt inspection at 36k, and some peeps have needed their cambelts replaced at the 36k service. So could be pricey. How much you paying for it?

02 plate - 33k and really feeling the engine pull when the revs hit 5k rpm!!

Exactly the same thing happened to my friends 53 plate Clio, he had both units, bulbs and clear lenses pinched, he realised why when he phoned Renault and was quoted £85 + vat EACH to replace them! Thieving scumbags....

Basically if this car isnt 242bhp, then he is misrepresenting the car. Therefore any winning bid would be classed as void as the car is not what hes advertising. If you went to view the car, and even paid to have it rolling road tested, and it didnt come back as 242bhp, the seller could be...

yay!

You were on the A12 outside Lowestoft Friday evening... I flashed you in the silver 172 and you waved! Mac by Macca172 on 09 May 2005 at 9:44am]

I drove past this car lastnight... its got a Police Aware sticker slapped on the side, and now some b*stards put the windscreen through.... Crying shame for such a lovely looking car...... :( Mac

I know the road, just wondering if the local pikeys pinched it for a bit of joy riding.. theres been a few cars lifted around here in the past few months. :( Mac

When was this mate? Ive seen a yellow 172 parked outside the Half Moon pub a few times on the High Road...

Slam it............... lexus lights.... :p

There was one of these 172 Exclusives at Darlingtons, Harlow.. £7995 on a Y reg, lovely looking motors..

Not sure if this has been posted before, but I stumbled across this on the Renautl News website...... Ideal chance to thrash a 182 Cup and Megane 225!! Become The Next Fernando Alonso And Learn The Meaning Of Va Va Voom If youve ever dreamt of blasting off the starting grid and feeling the...

S3 over a TT all day long, some bargains out there at the moment too!

Is there a Megane Cup race series then, or are Renault thinking of starting one??

Oh right, so there seems to be a few Limited Editions springing up. I wonder if any of these F1 182 Cups from Oz will be shipped here, seen as both Oz and the UK drive on the left....

I thought it was based on a 182 Cup though??

I thought it worked out pretty cheap, just under £14k depending on exchange rate!

What about the old MkII Astra GTE 16V?? I remember the handling was a bit suspect, and they had a dodgy digital dash... but they went like a rocket!

Is that right that only 72 of the Green MK1 172s were made??

I think all car dealers are pretty much the same, Ive heard all sorts of horror stories from Renault to Mercs. Ive had my 172 for 3 months now and covered 3500 miles, and havent heard a squeek from it, its been an absolute pleasure! (TOUCHES WOOD VERY QUICKLY!!) Previously I had a C-Class...

I know its not the same motor, but I recently sold my C180 Merc for a 172, cos although the Mercs a lovely car it is sooooo boring to drive.... I actually grin on my way to work now!!

Hi guys! Thought it was about time I joined up and said Hi!! Had my 172 for about 3 weeks now and loving every minute of it!! Keep trying to find excuses to take it for a spin! :) Anyway, speak soon.... wheres me car keys! Macca [Edited by Macca172 on 06 September 2004 at 4:58pm]...
