    Which wax???

    By the time i've washed the car, dried it, used AG SRP & AG EGP I have lost interest so I normally just use some quick detailer to finish. So, which wax can I get which is easy and quick to use? It will be used on my Iceburg Silver 172 and if she's good the mrs's silver Corsa C.

    Price of a 172 backbox????

    Does anyone know the price of a backbox from Renault for a 172? I can't get through on the phone to my local dealer. I'm not after a loud exhaust and I had the centre section replaced last year, so as long as it's not too much i'll get a Renault one.

    Which tyres??

    Been quoted £73.07 fitted each from Costco for PE2's, but I need to pay in advance for them to be ordered. Or Goodyear F1's for £69 fitted by Protyre which they have in stock right now and are close. I know Mytyres is cheaper but after you hand around for delivery and pay for fitting...

    Rolling Road Results!

    Went to Westec in Newport today for a rolling road. The Clio produced 167.6bhp on the first run and 170.2bhp on the second, so I'm quite chuffed with that as I've only added a itg panel filter. My mates Cupra R Leon made 221.3bhp and an other Cupra R made 222bhp, so I would say the Clio...

    Creeking noise/knocking noise??

    It's driving me nuts. When the car is warmed up in traffic, I get a creeking noise coming from the passenger side behind the centre console when I turn the steering wheel slightly, and it knocks when pulling away and just before I stop. It was in the dealers yesterday, to repair the sheared...

    HELP!! - 172 - Top gearbox mount snapped???

    I've been having a knocking noise pulling away and when stopping, so I just took the battery out and noticed that the top bolt has sheared? I'm guessing this is the reason for the knocking and creeking i'm getting when pulling away. Will I be able to get a garage to drill out the bolt...

    Bristol, Ring Rd -14:00, Silver Ph1, A16 ***

    Ph1 with carbon style bonnet. I was on the GSXR bike, it was good to see how my bike faired against the 172. I just couldn't get the power down as the roads are like riding on chalk with all the salt on the road.

    Creaking Noise - 172

    Sometimes in traffic when I pull away or move the steering wheel slightly when stationary, I have noticed a creaking noise coming from the passenger side of the car. It sounds a bit like the dashborad creaking, but it sounds like it's coming from under the floor. Any one got any ideas?

    AutoGlym Extra Gloss Protection

    I gave my car a good wash, poish, wax and EGP the other week and was wondering if I want to wax the car again with Chemical Guys Cherry Wax, do I need to re-apply the AutoGlym EGP. Also do I wax the car before or after the EGP treatment.

    I have noticed that when pulling away hard in first i'm getting a knocked noise which I first thought was just the tyres trying to grip. Is it right in me thinking this is the 'Dog Bone' engine mounts??? I know you can get new mounts from KTEC. Are these the best ones to get and how...

    How long does the ECU store faults??

    I got my car booked in on Sat with Renault, due to the ESP and Service light coming on. It came on 3 times on Friday last week, but nothing since. I guess there is a certain amount of start ups till it gets wiped, I just don't want to pay for Renault to plug it in and say there's nothing...

    ESP & Service Light

    The ESP & Service light keeps coming on every now and again. Once I turn the engine off and back on it's gone, will this still show up if I take it back in to Renault. The car is out of warranty now, but I had a new brake switch under warranty about 9 months ago, could it be that?
