daz please please phone renault UK and explain what they have done/are doing, it is completely wrong they have only given you 1 can, you NEED 2 for 1 tyre.

very nice!

It really is one of the only major things which puts me off future renault cars, Im sure if the company renault knew this they would attempt to sort them out. ive sent renault UK a link to this thread, stating I am slowly building up all the spares I need for my car as renault dealers seem...

oh dear oh dear, its absolutely stupid that renault dealers act in this way. I would have though keeping the air filter new was important on the 182 so why should you have to ask for it changing. Fact the oil is 5w40, the tyres are michelin exalto 2 with red dot, and the cabin filter and air...

all pretty much the same, the V6 looks to have larger seats in the brochures anyway? 182 has silver strips and the 172 MK2 have carbon effect strips. Carpets are different too from other clios, but all the same across the renaultsport range.

yeah thought of that, think renault do some which are compatible, not sure if i need them though, what do 172 seats go like after couple of year?

why do you think it feels better bubba, do you think it is in ya head cos some oil and couple of filters cant do much surely? they only inspect brakes etc dont they. When I go i take 8litres of oil, they will have enough then!

but ur oil filter should sort the bits?

Bet Debra is pleased me and Stu sending all this buisness her way, no? ;)

just looked at mine Loony, in fact both mine are exactly the same, both have the 2 clips ad the renault badge. Is your tyre foam holder different, does it have a compartment each for the 2 cans of foam etc?

doesnt sound right does it, should still be pulling in 5th. Have you driven other 172s?

they have basically commited the offence of daylight robbery if they havnt changed it... :-) well not quite but Id be back down there, to ask why they have charged you for something they havnt touched, the air box is easy to get to, have a look inside see if its new.

if we can find a dealer that can garentee a proper fix then im sure we will all be interested in paying them a visit!

guess so, thats what I mean I dont want something which is going to leave marks on the alcantara either. Just something that is going to protect it from cracking etc. I wouldnt have thought we need anything in particular for the alcantara? just a good vacuum every now and then? Ill look at...

did they change your air filter too? Cocopops yeah thats right, and as it is so cheap from Debra and IS the correct stuff you can get it changed at 6K intervals instead. And you know it is the right stuff they are putting in.

always give plenty of room at traffic lights, enough to get out of the wat if the idiot in front reverses..

bump?

yeah if the cup dont have one then fair enough, even without aircon some clios have them. My dynamique had no air con but it had an air recirculation facility which used a filter, not sure if cup is same? as for air filter they should know to change that, 24K is along time to go on the...

yeah at the service afaik..

afaik (may have changed from your clio cup spec) the airfilter needs changing at 12K, as does cabin filter.

lol, how much did it cost you, did they replace the air filter and cabin filter? at least they knew it needed 5w40 and didnt just bung you any old stuff in which they could have done. One of the reasons I will be taking my own elf 5w40 with me.

what should I use to protect the leather in my car, dont want something that is going to smell or change the texture or colour of the leather just to protect it from sun/cracking etc thats all.

never looked myself, not sure if its an easy fix, i.e just unscrewing door and putting new one on.

yeah you have to get new glovebox fitted.

Gee clios have been like that since they came to UK, MK2 anyways, dunno why but everyone is like it from factory! lol (gap on the right side of glovebox I mean)

i tried superglue on my last clio, didnt work, and it felt a bodge, if it happened again id get replacement panel didnt know they were that cheap. No doubt renault break loads when clios in for warranty work etc.

full whack for 182 £1500 sat nav, 6 disc changer, cup pack, and im including the tmc disc at £200 so over 17K overall. 0% finance over 3 years and got good trade in on my last car.

they break very easily, but only if you take them off usually.
