No probs!! The cars been mechanically 100% ever since, Ive now just reached 15k. :)
Yes it was covered by warranty, the part cost Renault £150.

I had the cam belt tentioner(?) replaced at 8k, a bearing had gone. Also sounded like a tractor, lost power etc...wasnt hard to diagnose coz the dealer found the fault in 10 mins...just a thought.
The alarm is fitted by dealers once it arrives in the uk, so that’s normal.
All I can say is, its worth sorting out the problems if you really do enjoy driving the car, I have never regretted getting a 172 despite some minor niggles and the fact that its French!!
Youll soon be looking like...
phew!!!! ;)
I used normal until I read the handbook, it was in Dutch so it took a while!!!!Ive found that the car will always run better on Optimax, if I cant get any then I put in a splash of BP super.
Driving this morning I saw no cups, no 172s (apart from mine) and a whole lot of VTR/Ss.....there are lots of Clio Billabongs....most of them black, lowered, ss exhaust and tints....unless its the same one I keep seeing!
That was only due to the hot hatch insurance premiums sky rocketing and sales dropping because of this and the fact that hot hatch owners were made to feel like social lepers coz we had big bad engines!!!! All the main stream manufacturers stopped production of them.
Hot hatches are back...
I like the new headlights.... but the back end, wtf??? far to micra for me with those stick up lights!!!!
Can u imagine the price of a set of lexus lights for that??!!!
You could be waiting a while for the parts, the typical Renault way!! Get your car and take it back in when the parts arrive, should be nicely run in by then...probably around 20k by the time Ren sort it ;)
I thought they were only gonna make the Cup anyway, but with a list of options, so you can add these to make what is the current 172...at extra cost, no doubt :confused:
Got a trip to Renault next week for ANOTHER head light washer ball, so Ill ask them....just rang them and the bloke said...
Can any of you nice people decipher the code on my cars oval plate, especially the Fabrication number, I had a look at this site but it doesnt give too much away apart from where it was made...

I dont know what the settings are but if you take it back to them they will sort it.
The first time I had my car traked, they made it worse, so I took it back and told them...then they sorted it, spot on. :)
Was done at Kwick-Fit :o
Where does it say that we all think ourselves superior?? Put as many Clio’s as you want in Max Power, I really couldnt care less. And I cant see what your point is about the price of a Clio, the whole aim of the car is that it is good value for what you get!?
What I dont want is to be part of...
Who said anything about not liking modded cars?? Ive started modding mine and intend to continue, and yes I always go and look at other modded cars.:)
Its the reputation that goes with Max Power that shouts "Im a sexist sad idiot" that is the first thing a lot of people think when you say Max...
