£161 for me and I think that takes the piss for what is an oil change and a couple of filters

My 172 is an excellent handling car, and thats coming form a previous 205 rallye owner, my only gripe handling wise is that the steering isnt very talkative but then again its power assisted. I love it, the new 205 in my book!! How can a car with ABS, EBD, ESP, 4 air bags and all the other...

Howdy i have cleaned my silver one once since jan and renault have also cleaned it once :)

yeah can u let me know aswell

My mates old mk2 golf did this loads but his top mounts were knackered and a nice banging noise came with it but he didnt care, its due to the rubber doughnut at the top mount of the strut assembly, it could be worn if loads of movement takes place. Wear can normaly be seen by the mount sticking...

Looks like it didnt end to well!! nevermind So what do you recken for 200bhp? head work, cams, inlet mods, bigger TB, and a serious remap with a piggy back? [Edited by Jones on 19 May 2004 at 11:38am] Cheers James^^

What would happen if u gave it to Andy GDI and 1502 +vat???

My brothers was exactly the same it had full history was almost a concours car, but it had no end of cooling systme probs, hot starting probs, electrical, disks cracking, alsorts mate, they are awesome cars but proper b******s when it comes to reliability, he scrapped it when the head gasket...

Who was it that was on here a while ago saying they were developing a kit for the 172 that churned out 220bhp, or there abouts without changing the exhaust? I remember they were being very secretive about it. Think they also said the price of the kit was around £1500.

they made too many and cant sell them check out autotrader private garages are selling them brand new now!!

just bung a bit of water in mate i did and mine is fine!!

Adds to the fun!!!! :devilish:

All you need is a sandwich plate, couple of pipes and a cooler of the correct size, oh and maybe a thermostat

ive gone for a 42 degree V8 formation on mine has improved the torque figures no end!!

The hiss you hear from an ecotec is air actually being sucked in, supposed to aid atomisation of fuel which is b****cks and can make your engine run worse or lean!!

Wish the steering was a bit more talkative, other than that it is an awesome car for me being only 22

that looks mean mate, bet it handles well

It takes ages to set up on a rolling road because the standard ECU cant control the throttle bodies, so one has to be programed to suit the engine spec. It has to set for different engine loads, revs, engine temp etc etc takes ages, unless roamer gave u a copy of his map which i very much doubt...

Have never had the ABS kick in on mine, have had te ESP kick in though and that really pissed me off!!! Its like going out with the missus proper spoils your fun!!!

its the flap that lets air into the engine, on a normal car there is one flap which lets air into a plenham (sp?) chamber. Throttle bodies are like carbs but more modern, using fuel injectors

id have to say valver looks so much more of a car than the saxo

im going to be getting some A539s for mine, well liked tyre and at a good price too!!

How do the yokos wear in comparison to the crap contisport?

Howdy i need a couple of tyres on my 172 and am thinking about these, they have had wicked reviews in the past and are quite cheap from mytyres.co.uk anyone have any experience of them on a 172?

can you not get a mechanics report take it down the cop shop that bacon roll is from and tell him to stick his boredom up his arse and to go do his job rather than wasting everyones time.

Renault Bolton mate, i was shocked - still am. Its an import aswell hahaha

My car went in to fix the interior light this morning get a phone call at 12.30 telling me its ready, get there and im knackered had to fly across town on my bike!! Firstly they ask me if im alright, offer me a drink!! Then goes on to tell me what they have fixed, some ecu that controls all the...
