    My Insurance is Due..Wheres the best place for cover on 172FF ??

    £304?! That's silly cheap! I am 31 with 10 years NCB and an SP30, but Direct Line quoted me about £440 on an unmodified, garaged 172. Paying about £420 with Privilege now.

    Quick photoshop measurment question

    If it is being professionally litho printed, then raster images will (usually) get down-sampled to around 300dpi anyways :) If you are using text, then it is best to use a graphics package (eg: Illustrator) or a page layout application (eg: InDesign). This will keep text as vectors and output...

    Sooooo... who's is that stripped-out R5GTT in Tesco's car park that I keep seeing? Solid white, very low with a lack of seats and a roll-cage in? ;) Weird that I have never seen you or any other CS members around that area. That's where I do my shopping! Will keep an eye open nest time I go...

    central locking fuse keeps blowing every time i set off ???

    Not really a fix, but can't you press and hold the central locking button in the car so that it turns off the central locking's 'automatic lock' when pulling away...?

    Quick photoshop measurment question

    Bleed is the extra work (usually 3mm) added over the edge of a page so that when something is cut or trimmed, you won't get any white paper if the cut if slightly off. For example, if your flyer has a 'finished' size of 12.5 x 20cm (125 x 200mm) then you would need to create a document 13.1 x...

    Only hot air out of heater!

    Many, many thanks for this info. I have been having the same issue since last year and even bought a new resistor pack to fix it, but that did not cure the problem (Waste of £80+). Your pictures and quick-fix suggestions were spot on and I managed to do exactly as you described to sort mine out...

    Funniest Thing You Have Been Told By A Dealer...

    Great thread... :) here's some that I can think of... Reanult Nottingham - I had snapped an off-side front spring on my Williams2 so I went to the parts department to get a replacement. When I told them what I wanted they said that the Williams can have various types of spring fitted. News to...

    Yoko A539s, the worst tyres ever!!!

    heh. :) I have had A539s on my Williams and 172 for years and only ever 'lost' the Williams once - and that was me trying to be clever in the damp. I've always found them great tyres - especially for high speed cornering. I even preferred them to the Yoko AVS. Also, the tyre dealers I have...

    Interior Fan

    Bizarre - my heater started playing up with the exact same symptoms earlier this week. It's very intermittent, but the fans are dead when the car is started but usually come on after 10-15 minutes. Sounds like a fairly straightforward task to undertake myself, so thanks for the info guys. :)

    Just test drove a ph2 172 and.......

    Mine did it too when I had very worn pads front AND back. Once the pads had been done - and forced the pistons in to 'push' the fluid back into the reservoir - the light never came on again. Oh and talking of brake fluid... should Renault check and top up the level on a 36k service? Because...

    Hi - Just Purchased My First 172

    I wouldn't mind some recommendations on a quiet-ish, hidden exhasut too. Anyone know how loud the K-Tec stealth system is? Love the Iceberg Silver colour BTw :)

    Roof Bars...........(MTB"ERS please help)

    I tried to get some Thuel roof bars from Halfords the other week for my Ph2 172 and because it's a 3 door, you need a special order fitting kit. Same with the Halfords own brand ones. I also contacted Renault and they wanted 80-odd quid - and that was special order too! In the end I didn't...

    Tesco 99 RON???

    I have been using Tesco 99RON for a few months now as the petrol station on my way into work sells it for 98.6p a litre - actually I think it's gone down a penny recently. Before that I always used 97 or 98RON such as: Esso Super / BP Ultimate / Optimax - erm - I mean V-power. I haven't used...
