    V6 + 172 Cup S.J Cook and sons Bristol

    If it was a red V6 then it was mine, been there a week as i didn't have time to collect it. Must say having the thermostat fixed after 6 trips to 3 different dealers is some relief!! Was nice of the dealership to give it back with the petrol light on! :)

    Lambswool mitt in washing machine?

    I put the whole lot in the washer, all the cloth material i use including the mitt, NO fabric conditioner though. Get a nice car polish smell drifting through the house when they're all drying!

    All V6 people in here!

    £700 fully comp with admiral, 25yo, 7 yrs no claims - would have been £500 but i've got 3 points and a non-fault claim against my name (Admiral charge for non-fault which i think is totally immoral!).

    The V6 time was in the wet i believe.

    Pissed off with insurance!

    I think you'll find bigger wider tyres leads to worse acceleration! The premium is based on the risk that alloys are a desirable accessory that can be removed easily by a professional thief and are also quite costly to replace over a standard rim. They are what keep you on the road so are...

    Clarion DXZ658 Hand controls

    I'm assuming you have also installed the clarion OEM Remote adapter? You'll know if it is fitted because 'Clarion' appears on the renault display by the clock where you would normally see the station name. No options needed, should work immediately. Headunit needs to be compatible with the...

    172 Xenon/HID quality

    They should get more blue with age you'll be pleased to know! Which is another annoying feature should you need to change one, as they'll have slightly different tones.

    Dickhead(s) in a blue 182 Orpington

    And risk having a screwdriver in your ribs or getting knifed? It's the culture we now live in. I don't walk away from a situation but i'm concerned about my own personal safety nowadays. People like that have a complete disregard for everyone apart from themselves.

    V6 Temperature Fault?

    I've got exactly the same problem, took it to the dealers but they said nothing was wrong with it. Mind you they couldn't even hear the obviously noisy climate control sensor fan and didn't bother replacing that either. If you get any news on this i'd love to know.

    V6 Engine Temp

    How long does it normally take for your engine to warm up? mine is taking over 20 minutes (definitely not normal!!) so it's in the dealership today. Was driving down the motorway for a good 10 mins th other day and it would not reach normal operating, it was 1 bar below!! Also going to get...

    Laptop for sat nav

    I think it would depend on how often you plan on using it. If you plan on using it once every 2 months when youre going somewhere out of the ordinary rather than the usual trip to work then I personally couldnt warrant paying for a TomTom, and I am thinking of the laptop route as it is far more...

    Problem with my 172 :(

    sounds like an ignition coil problem to me, simple to fix, 1 coil per cyinder i would have thought, not sure what the price is for 172 coils though.

    Q for a newbie V6 owner

    Oil change is relatively straightforward, oil filter is a pain in the @rse to get to though being at the back of the engine from the perspective of being at the rear of the car.

    Test drive V6 then EVO

    Id quite happily have both! ;) On a serious note, they are very different cars, i think its unfair to compare the two. On the other hand, I was going to get a VW Golf R32 before I decided to go with the V6, I think it would be a better debate to see which of those you would go for. R32 or...

    Should discs wear faster than pads

    I had this happen to my old Dynamique, 18,000 miles front discs went before the pads (65% worn), however my dealership said it was wear and tear and under no circumstances were they going to offer a discount or put it through under warranty. Sh*te renault parts for you.
