Cool, thanks Rhys. 172gal, its just the big plastic cover, which i believe you have to remove anyway to put oil in! havent got pix, soz! Si.

Feckin rattly ass b*****d french cars. i took the cart in last year for this problem, and they "sorted it".. hmm. In cold 7 degrees this morning for example, the glove box light flickers on any acceleration. Obviously the plastic contracts a little in the cold. Anyone else?! how did u sort...

Hi Guys, anyone got any recommendations for a decent bodyshop in or around manchester? The incompetent renault f*cks never stick my bumpers on right, and i would like to get them properly aligned then take photos so if they do it again i can kick their dumb asses! BTW, found a company called...

Dunno admob, they are proper "renault parts" but not MADE by renault as such. But ill be damned if im paying those b******s 130 quid for pads and discs and another 60 odd for fitting or more probably. went to andyspares.com and it turned into "GSF car parts" theyve got an outlet near me...

Cheers lads, Si.

Hey guys! Anyone got any advice on new brakes for the mk2 172? Manchester area? No one seems to have this bloody car in their brakes supplier lists etc, so dont know about upgraded ones or owt! do i have to get ripped off by renault dealer shoddy labour?? Thx all, si.

absolutely CRAP in the wet, good in the dry. Tyres they used in the fast and the furious! in the DRY! i had some, glad to be rid, running pirelli pzero neros now, amazing so far. gonna try eagle F1s next Si.

Absolutely do NOT use Renault Manchester for Anything, they take your cash and run. Service is PATHETIC, car goes in for something and comes out with something hanging off. Was standing there once with the customer services "manager" (Pauline) when one of the young idiots they employ nowadays...

EXTREMELY happy with my new pirelli PZERO NEROs bought from Micheldever... much better than toyos and contis, and cheaper than mytyres.net. Si.

Lookers never called Friday (of course..?) Ill chase up Monday and post a reply. Im expecting a warranty replacement, due to all the bullsh*t Ive had withmy car anyways.. Surely if this is happening on so many clios then it is a manufacturing fault.. so should be easily "haggle able" Si.

There are 2 customer service managers depending on your area of the country I find out.. So you may deal with Barry Williams or Claire Atkinson. si.

Is it not Claire Atkinson anymore?? Not spoke to her for a few months now, (lol) Si.

Mine spray at my windscreen, how feckin mad is that! super bendy water jets! Si.

This is important now in helping people, everyone should mention who their dealer is and what they did / didnt do... Ill be sending all this to Lookers / Head Office in the morning, so lots more home truths guys! Si.

Yer, replied dude, is that with Lookers Altrincham?? Si.

mailto:claire.atkinson@renault.co.uk">claire.atkinson@renault.co.uk Call her, customer services head office, kick off royally. I had similar sh*t Renault manchester pathetic service. Si.

Lol, cant wait to speak to them tomorrow.. ;-) Come on everyone please post! Si.

Hopefully thats what balancing etc is for!? lol, thanx for the replies guys Si.

Hi All, My 172 got its 24k service today, nice and cheap at £124 (Lookers Renault in Altrincham). I demod the horrible noise to one of the service reps in the morning, before handing it over, and he agreed he heard it (lol) and to get it checked out. I told him that it was a known problem...
