Hi guys, Gonna be a hard one to explain... Basically brakes aren't as sharp as I know they should be... I know I need new fluid which is probably the main cause as discs and pads LOOK ok but I'm no mechanic so I could be completed wrong!! Basically at low speed, light braking, it feels like...

Nice silver Megane F1, today at about 11am! Personalised plate, JMA ***???? Or somethnig like that.

Hi all, Not sure if this is in the right section or not... On my MOT the mechanic told me I've got a REALLY tiny leak on my front section of the exhaust. I've been searching the Internet all day but can't seem to find anywhere to order one? I'm hoping manifolds and downpipe are separate...

Spotted this morning about 830? You must have actually pulled up next to me in the fast lane... 02 Reg I think...? Turned left towards Dodwells from the island.

Last night at about 5:45?? Flashed me. :) private plate.

I was a couple of cars behind, you turned left on to the A5, then on to the A47 past Dodwells Bridge industrial estate! You may have spotted me driving like a maniac when people wouldn't let me filter in!! lol :rasp:

Parked on the lawns in hinckley at about 14:40 today. Plate was something like d3wn??

Hi All, I posted some crap pics when I first joined in Feb' that I took off of AutoTrader when I bought the car. So far I've; Had new rear axle bushes Serviced with Millers 5w40, and 75w-80 (gearbox) Plans: Carbon front diamond Carbon splitter Carbon dash inserts Coilovers (maybe) Viper...

Hiya! Quick question before I potentially waste £20... I have a 2002 ph2 172 (not a cup) with a speedo issue. Mine was imported from france when it was new! This should be a gearbox sensor... correct?:o

Hi all, Is the gearbox oil for a 2002 172 (non cup) 75w-80? And is it fully syn?? Got it booked in to be changed as gear rarely some gear changes are tight and theres like a rattling noise when manouvering/using the clutch to get bite so I'm thinking it may be low? Never crunches or anything...

Spotted at about 8:20 this morning at the very start of Coventry road near the leisure center. I was at the traffic lights in the iceberg 172 going the opposite way. :-)

Hi All, Still a bit of a noob when it comes to Clio 1*2's so excuse my stupidness... Is the power steering belt driven?? Sometimes, when cold, usually when full lock is on, the streering wheel... doesn't jolt... but there's feedback....??? (Hard to explain sorry). And theres a loud screeching...

Blue cup with white alloys and 182 stlylee stripes on the bonnet! Made me wish I'd found one in that colour rather than iceberg!! lol Followed it from Town Centre, near Netto, over the railway! Looked tidy! :) Has a personal plate too.

Right, first of all I'm sick and tired of this car! Lol on my way to Bournemouth, a 150 mile trip my speedo dropped to 0, and the odometer stopped adding the mileage! (although it is still illuminated!) I am confident enough to remove the dash and check connections but it is hard to find...

:S Forgive me for sounding like an idiot as I know 172's have projector lenses! Is it possible to put a xenon bulb in upside down...? If so, would it effect the beam pattern?! Thanks :-D

Hi all... AGAIN! lol To summarise... My Xenons were FAR to low, so I manually adjusted them. Then, they were FAR to high... so I tried to lower them and it wouldn't move at all! My car went to a Renault Specialist to change the rear axle bushes, and I asked them to look at the light...

Hey guys & girls! I have an 02 172 and have been having handling problems sincei bought it. The steering isn't THAT bad anymore (it was all over the place) as I needed new rear axle bushes. However, it's still not great. I think it's just down to the cheap Tyres left on by thr last owner...

Spotted at about 5:15pm today, private plate starting 51 I think! Looked tidy!

Hi again, Right... My xenons (in my 2002 172) were pointing right at the floor, they were so bad that on A roads/ motorways I couldn't see where I was going without full beams. So, I adjusted them up today with the adjuster on the back of the auto adjusters. I was surprised that I could...

Hi guys! I fitted a new windscreen washer resevoir with the help of classicsheepflavour over the weekend. It was our second attempt... In the 8 years that my cars been running I don't think the wiper arms have EVER been removed! I checked at halfords, and two other shops for a "wiper arm...

Hi Guys, Posted in the welcome section but I was on my iPhone so I couldn't attach pictures properly! So I thought I'd post a few! Not really had chance to take my own so they're from the advert off of autotrader! Cars done 71k, Cambelt and Aux belt done at about 50k. Pretty good nick, but...

Hi All, Told you I'd be posting again before long!! I've had this problem since buying the car over a week ago, and it doesn't feel to serious. Here is what is going on; The steering wheel has to be turned slightly to the right at all times (tracking is spot on, and has almost new...

Hi All, Recently got my first 172, thanks to those that welcomed me in the newbie thread! There are a few little bits and bobs that I'm getting sorted out gradually, nothing major though! The gearbox on the car seems fine, never misses a gear, easy to change etc... However, theres lots...

Hi all, Just got my first 172, a 2002 in Iceberg silver (or so I am told!). I can't post any pictures at the minute because my PC is down!! A few little problems, so I'm sure you'll see a few posts from me asking for help! I'll add a few pics to this thread when Im able. Lee.
