Reversed at slow slow speed into a telegraph pole. Thought there'd be a dent and scratch, but this?! Half my car's missing and the boot won't open!
now i appreciate the importance and the engineering of crumple zones, but my boot floor is a mess, and i was just tootling backwards at no more...
My driver's seat used to creak summit rotten. I traced the noise to a piece of trim fixed to the right hand side of the seat. When driving if I put my fingers between the seat and this trim, which hurt a bit, the creak stopped.
Was on my way to ASDA at the time, and at the till I found a...
Rang up CES UK for some rear brake pads as mine had worn down to the absolute minimum (was just starting to hear a rough noise under braking), chap said there were two sets, and was unable to tell which was which. Both cost £10.68 and £10.80.
Rang Renault Main Stealers in St Helens, (work in...
172 2001, I'm in the middle of removing the cat to fit a replacement. I'm undoing the two spring loaded bolts that attach the cat down pipe to what I presume must be the manifold.
Ok, I'm undoing and undoing.... Have been undoing for what seems like a day. Do I just keep undoing these bolts...
Having ripped off my noisy as hell rear silencer and fitted a quiet as a mouse CES silencer, I can now hear lots of new noises. JOY!
One noie is a slight whine from the synchro', should I be worried at 46k?
Okay, my through flow rear silencer is just too loud, after 7 months I've decided to replace it.
Renault 172 MkII 2001 rear silencer is £200+ fitting, not cheap.
GSF and Europarts don't seem to do them.
So my friendly renault indie specialist wanted to charge me £117+ fitting, not too...

On really cold mornings my trip computer (172 MkII) resets...
Everything zeroes, MPG, Average speed, range etc. Everything apart from the odometer thingie that tells the mileage of the car.
Is it just mine, while annoying I'm not overly concerned,.. wondered if there was a quick fix...
Today (tuesday) at around 1pm, in TESCO's carpark...
Where the driver ground the bumper out on the kerb in front... Her passenger asked me, sat next to them in my black 172 to help 'lift the car off the kerb', even though I assured them it would reverse without my input...
The passenger...
...last night (sat), around the corner from Otto's and Steve's chippy.
With aftermarket wheels and rear silencer... looked like a 172; was dark out.
My black 172 was parked at the other end of the road... oem wheels.

Sounds like the back/side of base nr door of the driver's seat is creaking under my weight (I'm 16 stone, and before people start checking their cupboards for unaccounted pies, I'm 6ft 4), now I'm heavy, but surely there's heavier people who don't 'ave creaky seats?
Anyway, I've tightened the...
Took my mk2 172 for an MOT at a Renault Indie today, came back needing:
OSR wheel bearing (I've been saying that for 10k and Renault said it was fine)... So I'm happy, cos it's noisy as hell.
NS lower ball joint; again I've noticed some not so inspiring metallic clunks for a while now...
Some scally-wag has decided my door mirror looks better on the pavement than on my car,.. Personally I disagree.
As it's off a 172 (electric and colour coded) I'm having to remortgage my wife, kids, home and sell my dog to the local takeaway to replace it...
Costing me over £100 to fit it...
Was this you, on Friday morning around 10:30? (feel like Nick Ross off of Crimewatch)
I was in the 'hurried' black 172 that had chased you briefly and then went down Stanney Lane, passing at the roundabout...
Was in a rush to be somewhere for work.
Today at lunchtime, by Burger King and going to centre/tescos... I was in the black 172, a little hurried; late for a pub lunch appt.
P.S. I am a driving God!
My wipers need to be operated via the stalk, once used the once they sense the rain and work automatically - Is this normal?
Cheers,

apologies if this is in the wrong section, but I would like to purchase or swap to acquire four renault 16" wheels, with tyres preferably... Really want to return my car to looking standard.
Would pay or if someone wanted to swap their OEM wheels for mine that'd be grand. My wheels are in...
My 2001 172 full fat started sounding a bit noisy on Sunday... Found the rear silencer had dropped; it's mounting had come away from the silencer. So being a Sunday night and needing the car for work I tied it up using rope. (Car's already booked in for service on friday - with fingers crossed I...
