Put new tax in my g/f's Dynamique last week and noticed there is a scratch about 2 inchs long on the outside of the windscreen. Feck knows how it got there.
How do I go about getting this removed?
Went to my local renault dealer (Bristol Street, Exeter) Was looking at getting a new car for my g/f. Looked at blue 3dr 2003 1.4 Dynamique with a/c and only 11.5k miles its up for £6995. Is that about right or a bit overpriced?
What a joke, gave Direct Line a ring enquiring how much it would cost to add after market alloy wheels to my 172. The want an extra £120 and my excess will go up by £150, anyone else had this problem told them there's no way I would be ripped of like that.
I obviously expect to pay a little...
Had a look at my miles, mpg etc on the speedo computer, its not right. It rekons I have done 0.2 miles on the trip meter and I am doing 10 mpg, plus it rekons I can do 90 miles with half a tank. I noticed it the other day and have done several miles since but it aint working right.
Any ideas...
Hi
Looking at getting some of these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8039451929 can someone confirm that the offset pins is correct for a mk2 172.
Just seen this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8037411104
Will these fit a 172 fine? (ie spacing, rubbing arches etc) I am seriously thinking about them, I am going through Yelverton next weekend which would save me £35 delivery.
Just spotted this on ebay.

Quite tempted to go for it seeing it already the right colour :D The seller states "All it needs is the 172 rear spoiler brake light...
Hi
This last few weeks I sometimes get the abs, esp and the serv light come on (at the same time), it seems to happen infrequent perhaps 1 to 2 times a week. By switching the engine and off and restarting seems to clear it.
Any know what the problem may be?
Just got my renewal through from Direct Line
They want £417 for the next year fully comp, would have though it would be cheaper than that or is it about right?

Hi
Got a Motorola V3 on orange pre-pay, want to put my vodaphone card in but it asks me for a subisdy code, grrrrh.
Anyone know how I can unlock it so it will use my sim (hopefully free of charge)
Cheers
Went to start my 172 this morning, engine would turn over say 3-4 times then stop. Tried for about 5 mins but the same thing would happen (thought it may be the battery but the dash lights didn't dim out when trying to start)
Got my local mechanic to come and have a look early today, the same...
Gonna change my standard headunit, I remember seeing a pic on here showing a new stereo (think it was alpine) that displayed the track name etc on the clio display.
Can someone point me towards stereo's which will do this. (also post pics if you have one which uses the clio display)
Thanks.
Trying to find a decent seat cover, what do you guys use? Need one that doesn't cover the whole seat (Airbag in seat).
Want to keep my leather/alacanta seats looking good.
Any ideas?
Out for a drive last night, heard a bang, then a few seconds of quietier noisies. Got out and had a look everything seemed fine, went to the car this morning and the drivers side rear tyre was flat.
On closer inpection I saw a nail head about 10mm in from the inside edge, also the nail must...

Foooking massive lol.
My 172 has got a toad alarm on it. Made the mistake of letting my g/f take it out by herself to do some shopping - big mistake LOL. Now when I "arm" the alarm it bleeps in the usually manner but isnt locking the doors. Think it has something to do with my g/f setting the alarm off and the...

Hi peeps
My dad has 1.4s W reg clio. Last week the speedo stopped working and consquently the mileage stopped as well, although it is displaying the mileage.
He took it to our local renault speicalist garage and they thought it may be a sensor on the gear box so they replaced it but no luck...
