Did you see the that chavy GSI corsa parked next to me? I don't think he could of got closer if I tried.

Awesome car! They are always underated. How much is that going to cost to insure?

Hi mate, where abouts were you? I had a look under the car yesterday eveything seems in place so i'm just getting on it and driving it, 36k service soon, so i'll head down Carton Garage. It's driving fine, had a play with a 330D sport on the way out, bloody hell those things don't half shift.

It will be a brake switch problem i've had mine changed twice, nothing to worry about.

I've had my 172 for 16 months now and have done 12,000miles, but i've had few things go wrong. So far I think i've been back to the Renault at least 15-18 times and been without my car for nearly a month in total. So far I have had... New Carbon Canister New Alternator 2 x New Brake...

It happens all the time. They will probably change the brake switch, as that is normally the problem.

There do seem to be quite a few Throphy's in Bristol though.

Parked next to me on Friday night opposite the Mill House. They are great looking cars, makes mine look like cr*p next to it.

I like the 172 wheels on the R5, really suits it. I have never been keen on R5 GTT as i've always been an Escort RS man, but I really like the look of yours. Most people on here won't be so keen on the wheels on the 172 though, a nice set of 16's will suit the car better.

It's strange that mine did it for a while around the similar mileage as yours and now it has stopped using so much. The only thing I noticed that Renault dealer who changed the oil before I had it on the 12k service used 10w40, and good old SJ Cooks used 5w40 on my 24k service. It could...

Brembo High Carbon's are about £50-60 from German Swedish French or Fred

Do you get vibrations through the steering wheel when braking at high speeds? If so, your discs are probably warped. I always try not to sit on the brakes after heavy braking.

Mine used about 1 litre of oil when I first had the car on about 20k every couple of thousand. Since the 24k service, (i'm now on 32k) it's probably only used about 500ml. What's the mileage?

Wait a few more years mate, 2k is alot of money on insurance. Whats the excess on that? I was 21, 2NCB, with no fault accidents and a Ban and mine was £900ish. I really wanted a 172 when i was 19, but I waited and saved the money.

32k on my 2003 '53' Plate. It's going up quickly now though, with alot of work miles.

You will lose performance, handling and your fuel consumption may even go up. Don't do it, it wouldn't look right.

Mine does the same, on the passenger side. When I drive up to my garage, over the kerb turning right or left off the main road. Mine doesn't sound like the top mounts as it's coming from the bottom of the car. I'm not worried about it.

I bought the 74series "32" Samsung, it's an awesome TV. I don't know that much about TV's but it was recommended everywhere.

I had an 1.6 16v Escort, I changed the wheels, suspension, exhaust and a few engine mods. It cost me the same money the insure the 172 without no mods as the Escort with mods. Your better off getting a standard car as your probably get an 1.6 Clio for the same price on insurance.

Yeah it does. I had my first MOT done a Platinum Renault in Bath which gave me an extra year AA cover free.
