F**king cowboys ! There really should be no argument here ! It is false advertising as you have been sold a car without all the standard equipment ! Ridiculous !

Have you phoned Renault Customer Services yet ? If not then get on the blower ! Their number is 0800 072 33 72. Ring them and stress how annoyed you are ! They will sort it out or at least move things along ! Then again it is Renault but at least you have tried !

£9k ? No way sorry. Before I bought mine I was offered 2 MKII 172s in Silver with less miles, both on 02 plates for around £8500. You could try £8995ono and hope for the best, bringing the price down if you get no interest IMHO. At the end of the day, it is your car and you can ask what you...

I could be interested depending on condition and price. Can you get some photos up ?

I better get used to them being there then ! LOL ! Annoying tho ! :cry:

....replace the thumb inserts or do you have to replace the whole steering wheel ? When I bought the car I noticed that there is some scoring on both of these inserts from a hands free or remote control of some kind and it is starting to bother me. Advice needed...

Cracking times to be fair. Not all 182s are going to be the same, there will be slower but there will be faster too. Good to see those sorts of times tho with less than 2000 miles on the clock ! If only they did the 182 in the Yellow for cheaper than they do at the moment I would just have...

Did you say something Tom !? I couldnt hear you with my helmet on ! http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1079449501__Bitter.jpg Ooooops ! How did that get there !?!? ;)

That is shocking, it must get sorted surely ! It is their balls up after all and those kind of things should be covered in the checks that all the cars have to go through surely ?

My 172 is due to go in for its first service on Monday, just phoned to confirm and the price is £155. What I was expecting really. Can I expect to notice any difference with the car after its first service ? Some people have said that they noticed a change ?

Just phoned up my local Renault dealer, they charge £27.50 to alter the tracking on my car, a little less than £140 !

Around £8000ish ? I base that on the fact that I bought my 02 reg 172 with 9700 miles on it for £8800 but that might just have been cheap.

Not an option on the MKII 172, they are standard. I am 99% sure on this.

^^^^^ what dogmaul just said, unless you have a grey import then you may lose things like CD changer but not the Xenons !

WHAT ?! Cant hear you ! LOL ! That could well be it ! You should try it ! Makes the Clio rattle free ! It is a small price to pay...... and you look cool too ! Although, someone did tell me that I looked like a power ranger ! LOL ! :cool: Tom, you are going to have to show me some of...

I am actually pretty lucky in that I have not got any rattles that I actually notice. When on a bumpy crappy road then of course you will get rattles, that happens on any car. I am not trying to say the build quality on Renaults is great as we all know it could be a lot better but I am very...

You can also tell as the lights shine a blue colour I find. dogmaul has seen the pics and has confirmed them as standard lights, you would have to be pi$$ed off with that ! Never ever heard of that before ! You can see all the 172 owners running off to check their Xenons now cant you ...

Obviously as low as possible but I think £13k is the magic figure with the Cup options included. Anything close to that would be a good deal IMHO. Like dave182 says, do a search and see what deals people have had for their 182s. I did hear of someone getting a 182 Cup for £12,500 from a...

Yeah I think they are too, they look the same as mine just above dont they ?

First time I have ever heard of a 172 WITHOUT Xenons ! Here are mine from 2 different angles if that helps at all : http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1076409556__DSC01620.jpg http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1076409602__DSC01621.jpg

Scribbler, we are going to Spa and the ring in September, check out this thread for info on costs, dates, etc. ...

Rob, I was going to change them out of choice not the need to be honest, not happy with them at all. The 2 front tyres are brand new tho so I will wait till they go. _KDF, I want to change my alloys soon definitely ! My renewal is up in July so I think that would be a good time to shop...

LOL ! I dont smoke and neither does Ivan so maybe I should have included some mandatory fag breaks in the installation time for those of you that do smoke ! LOL ! :D After pics would be good mate. It is a subtle drop but there is definitely a drop, I measured ! LOL ! :oops: The...

£140 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is a joke just for checking the tracking surely ? I can remember I took my Corsa to Vauxhall back in the day, they charged me £20. That is lube up time that is ! :o Brum is around an hour and a half at least away from Swansea. I will find a place in...

What is it called Craig ? Is it a UK wide place ? I will have a look around and in the Yellow pages for somewhere. How much will it cost anyway ?

What BenR said y0z you English numptie ! ;)

sam, I will stay away from them then ! That is really bad ! _KDF, glad you are happy mate. It is not that hard really is it ? My tracking seemed to be ok to begin with but it definitely needs to be done now. Yours may go the same and a few people have recommended getting it done anyway if...
