Wouldnt let any of this put you off to be honest i had mine since 9k and in that time ive had a sensor go faulty and thats it has the usual knocking noises like axle tramp but my old focus diesel company car used to do that. Also you are hearing all the bad points here and the cars that have...

my 1.8 tddi focus estate struggles for grip in this weather and that has an almighty 90bhp, really greasey roads around me at the mo. My 172 is the same but was fine in the dry. not really the right conditions to be hooning around IMHO!!

Had exactly the same problem with mine even sent it into renault to be fixed and also went in for a service whilst it was doing it and they said they couldnt find anything wrong. I checked the brake fluid and it was low, topped it up and now its fine!!

I like the yokos on my 172, I love it how everyone calls them sh*te in the wet, has anyone actually found a tyre thats good in the wet? i aint

I have to be honest, id never heard anyone raving about the williams before i got a clio and started coming on here, i always used to think of it as, an over priced and expensive to insure valver. My best all time hot hatch is either a mk1 golf gti, or a 205 1.6 gti. After all if it wasnt for...

The reason i ask is becasue it seems like a very good idea to protect them but my brother just told me there isnt anypoint as your insurace will still go up if you crash and you can only have 2 crashes in 3yrs and they will take them off you anyway. He then went on to say that they take half...

Right i have been driving for 5 years and have 5 yrs no claims and my insurance company are offering me protection on them, is it worth paying extra to protect them? Who does and who doesnt and why?

Well i have a 172 it has never let me down and doesnt rattle. the only thing that has ever gone wrong wth it has been a yaw sensor for the esp and the 4k rattle, which doesnt really bother me because mine lives above 4k!! Oh and the sensor was replace under warrAnty

They are all imports at the end of the day, wont the dvla be looking at it as being sold first hand from a dealer such as motorpoint?

its got 4 pots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o

Give it 6 months and youll want more!!!! I love the feeling of mine after driving my company crap car all week.

I think there is somthing wrong with mine as the passenger side seems to be very low like this _ - if you get my drift is that normal?

Just landed myself a new job which comes with a company car, so my clio is going to get little use. I did ask then whether i could use my car instead of the comp one and they said yes if you want to bounce it round building sites eerrrmmm no, plus i would put milions of miles on it. The car...

Well my 172 is mint never had a serious problem with it really, couple of niggly ones but no real major deal. They arnt all that bad fella try and get another one out of them

13K + 5K parts might as well get one that still looks like a clio and hasnt been mashed into venessa feltz

my car came from motorpoint, the code is on a sticker on the inside of the warrenty and service book, has a date and a vincode on it aswell, the code is at the bottom

Just think about the weight penality of adding mudflaps youll have novas overtaking you

If its a new one thats a td they aint to bad

Yep also know what u mean, i drive a corsa van 1.7 dti power baby and oh my god its slow doesnt stop and will not go round corners at any cost, you could change your shoes and socks during the time inbetween gear changes.

most cars do this

Just go and speak to them be nice and dont patronise them and theyll prob take more care.

^^^^ same here and the light is yellow, its always on in my car :D

i did after i posted on here the description is excellent and about as clear as a renault technician at the service desk at your local renault garage. heated external rear view mirrors did they give a chimp a dictionary and say come up with some kind of new b****cks for wing mirrors?

hahaha cant believe i never knew that although i dont think i have ever used the heated rear screen!!!

Dont think its the servo thing becos the mirror clips onto that in the mirror housing, it had fallen off that and was dangling by the wires which were attached to the mirror itself. Oh its an 03 if that makes a difference [Edited by Jones on 9/22/2004 9:54:01 PM] I was lucky it didnt break...
