Ladies and Gentlemen, was driving past the trade sales place over xmas and saw they still have a Black 172 for 11k and Silver for 12K (I think it was 12k, just caught a glimpse of the silver). Dont think the silver has Cruise, but if you want a cheap 172, get in there!

Does anyone have one you can see, they arent very clear on the gallerys

So with the new 182 having the Cup option, does that mean they remove the sound proofing, add in the bench seat and put in thinner glass if you opt for it? One of the lads at work is going to put his name down, but wants to know if the option includes stripping out or whether its just the...

In your opinions, which combo of the two give the best result? Not really looking to replace the entire Zaust system so i know im wont be getting massive gains. Would value your opinion, so after xmas if theres any £s left i can get them. Thanks Blink

Though it would be interesting to see how each of you owners would write up there cars if they had to review them, magazine stylee. Heres mine It was a dry autumn afternoon when the dealer threw the keys to the new RENAULTSPORT 172 across the table and said "its all your". Walkin out onto the...

Morning all, yesterday i took my car out for a blast round the back roads for the first time. After about 4/5 miles, the ABS light came on and STOP on the dash. So, i pull over thinking the worst, turned the engine off and left it for two minutes and turned the it back on and the lights went off...

Sounds odd, but a fella that works for my company was saying this morning that they are currently doing some mods on cups and 172s. Something along the lines of being approached to become a specialist for cup/172s, ive heard of them from friends as being very good tuners. Has any of you guys...

Just wanted to say thanks to all of you on here that have given thier advice over the last few weeks. My 172 is on the road, have finally got some sounds wired in, and getting my running in done so i can blat it about. Maybe as an idea they could have a closed FAQs thread on owning a new...

Hope you all had a gooe weekend! Anyway, Saturday afternoon and im on the drive trying to wire in amp etc. Dad asks how its going, "Easiest car ive ever tried to install" i reply! How wrong i was, the rcas and remote lead are in and easy to run but how the Funk are you supposed to get the power...

Anyone got any good ideas on stopping them? I drive to work on the mway most mornings and my last car looked like it had been in a drive-by with all the holes in the front! And i wouldnt want my new like toy to get all scratchde up now would i?

Does anyone else get a slight knock when they reverse thier car and then drive forward on thier 172. Only seems to happen when you first start up and its nothing major (I hope). Is it the brake catching or something?

If you swap out the OS mids and tweets, can you leave in the existing cross overs??

Morning all. Hopefully if the weather is ok this weekend i am going to wire in my Mac amped box, any hints on running the cable to the back on a new 172. Dont really want to take out the Pass seat, is it an arse to run door the sills?? Also, can you use the existing wiring for the mids/Tweets...

Morning all, just started running in my 172 and wondered if people use the ESP function or look at it as a cheat option for poor drivers? Is is any good, and does the traction control interfere to much?

Picked up my shiny new 172 on saturday and took it for a nice long drive. Firstly, trying to keep below 4k revs is an absolute ar5e, i find myself looking at the counter and with realising am doing 60 in 40 zone!!! Below 4k, performance is pretty good, and am so looking to maybe giving it a bit...

Need some help with burning cds. Why does Nero only seem to burn a 2k file and not the full track when copying stuff to data cd?

Sorry to keep posting this, but need help asap as were going to have a go tomorrow. How do you get to the clio clutch and is it easy enough to change??

Any ideas on getting at them and changing them??

My mums RT needs a new clutch. Can anyone lend a hand on how you go about this, as it appears to need the entire gearbox dropping to get at it. My Dad is an excellent mechanic (Has kept everyone of my cars on the road when ive violated them). Is it something we can do, or does it need a garage...

Firstly, this is a good news thread. Reno advised me that my 172 would be available to collect on 4th nov, guess what? Its at the dealership now waiting to be prepd and can collect anytime this week. And on top of that they are loaning me the Service managers 172 to throw around on monday "To...

Where and how much are these, also how difficult to fit and are they worth the money??

Morning all, got a dumb question for you. Having never attempted to lower a clio before, i wondered if you chuck the eibach springs on a mk2 172 do you need to adjust the torsion bar and if it a) affects the warranty b) puts your insurance up by a great deal. Cheers all

Suppose that all clio seats are bolted down the same regardless of model (Sis has a new dynam and im waiting for a 172), just that i heard that its easier to take out the seats and run the cables for amps etc by the xaust tunnel to the rear. Just that my siss car seems to have round bolt...

Has anyone attached a shiny new splitter to thier 172. Or taken a Cup one and attached to a 172. Does the 172 have one anyway? Basically, i like the idea of a splitter but dont want one of the Halfords one fits all horrid plastic stick on things. Any ideas?? Pix would help if you have...

What should a 172 come with (other than keys & 4 wheels;)), isnt it supposed to have a luggage net in the boot, does it come with anything else? Also, what should you look out for in the first few months of ownership.

Afternoon Ladies and Gentleman. With the imminent arrival of my 172, how much does the 12000 mile svc cost on a 172? How far in advance do you need to book it in to get a courtesy car?? Also, was very impressed with the new 1.2 dynamic my sister just picked up from the dealer. Made me a whole...

On the 172/cup bumpers (maybe all new shape clios) they have a square cover under both lamps. Any idea what they are for, are they where washers once lived or crash sensors for the airbags?? Answers on a post card!!!

Not really clio related but defo the funniest website around! http://www.sniffpetrol.comwww.sniffpetrol.com Enjoy Blink

Has anyone replaced the plastic grills on the front with mesh, think that would look Phat. Has anyone done it and have you got pix???

Has anyone made a list of what rattles on a new clio, how to get to them, what size wrench or hammer you need and whats likely to squeek. Im due to get my new 172 in under a month now and these rattle stories havent put me off, just want to know if there is anything you can do to stop or prevent...
