I am based in Swansea mate, that probably doesnt help you recommend somewhere ! LOL ! Any UK wide places you would recommend going to ?

Right, I am going to book my car in to have the tracking done. When would you recommend I take it ? Somewhere like Kwik Fit ? How much do they usually charge ?

The inflatable sheep is no more due to..... ha hum....... over use ! :oops: It was a very lucky escape mate I know !

It does look like a mini Scenic ! Why do they do this ! I cant even see the RenaultSport version being any good either ! OH DEAR ! The 172 may stay till the NEXT version after this !

N8, I think if you did a search for tyres there would be loads of threads on this. A lot of people like the F1s IIRC with tyres from Toyo, Uniroyal and Michelin also getting good comments.

Monkey, have you posted in the wrong thread ? That makes no sense in this thread ? :confused:

I dunno loony, the handbrake was on when they got in so possibly ? It seems to be normal until they are bedded in ?

I read that cat, I admit I was very lucky to get away with it ! Thank god I did tho !

Cheers Michael for both replies. Should have just put both queries in the one thread ! Thanks again !

I suspect this is a knock on effect from fitting my Eibach Pro springs last week. The steering wheel is off centre when going in a straight line and also when cornering it seems to pull to one side. Is this just a simple case of the tracking needing to be done ? Where is the best place to...

Went to give a few mates a lift down the pub the other day. They got in the back and as they did the back springs started to creak. I had my Eibach Pro springs fitted last week, could it just be because they are new ? This is the first time someone has been in the back since they were fitted...

clio__chris, I did think my car looked good on the screen I must admit ! LOL ! Unfortunately, I wasnt wearing my helmet at the time ! DOH ! He was a nice guy to be fair, I apologised loads and he seemed to accept my apology even after I told him he didnt indicate when changing lanes ! LOL...

Just been to Ikea in Cardiff and I was driving back on the M4 to Swansea. Was following a Golf and noticed a silver Merc weaving over the road behind me, changing lanes without indicating and so I speeded up to get past the Golf and this Merc. No sooner had I pulled out........ BLUE LIGHTS...

LOL ! I havent taken it off yet Pete ! Sleeping in it was a bit uncomfortable tho ! LOL ! ;)

I was wondering if you are asking for problems if you buy a 16v with over 100k miles on the clock ? How many miles are these engines good for until things go bang ? Been thinking about buying a cheap valver as a project and trackday car and I am sure that most of the cars in my price range...

I thought I recognised it as stanbo172s old 172 ! Very nice and good to see the boards have done their job and found someone a sale. Hope you enjoy it !

I wouldnt bother, I love the creature comforts in my 172 and the difference is not that much anyway. You can make the 172 to be better than a Cup with a few mods anyway and you can keep all the luxuries too. If you didnt already have a 172 then it would be a different story but I dont think it...

I am a ninja in my spare time so that could come in handy ! :devilish:

Indeed ! Maybe he saw my Cliosport.net sticker in my back window.

Because the guy was standing in the window of his house looking at the dodgy person driving past his car more than once ! LOL ! I have put flyers on other 172s I have seen but none have come on here.

Just drove out of my street and at the bottom of the road I saw what I thought was an Silver 04 172. Went for a closer look and saw the Turinis and the Cup badges, it is the first silver Cup I have seen, it is all very confusing ! LOL ! The Turinis look great on the silver car too ! Very...

I paid £11999 for my first 172 in July 2002. That was a brand new import which I was chuffed with at the time, that was one of the best prices around for an unregistered 172.

Always helps to have friends in high places eh Rich ? Well.... Renault employees anyway ! LOL ! ;)

£9250 is still a good price Gav. By the way, all 172s come with a spare alloy in the boot ! It is a very nice touch I have to say ! :D I think _KDF has probably had the best deal so far....... or maybe Andy_66 ? Saying that, steveV6 has probably bought one of the cheapeast V6s around and...

Agree with edde, you need to have a life away from the Clio too ! That is very important, I have made the mistake in the past of getting a car I couldnt really afford and it is not nice having no money. If it would stop you going out with your mates then I would have a serious think about. If...

Strapping that Rolls Royce Jet engine to your car eh Fred ? ;)

Servicing is more expensive I would guess, my first service is £160. Tyres are more expensive, you are going to use more petrol, tax is more expensive. Any non-warranty engine work is expensive as it could be an engine out job. Just generally everything will be more expensive than owning a...

If you can afford to run and maintain a 172, it HAS to be a 172 !

I dont know if they will moan but you will not get anymore for the car so you will lose money on the mods, you may even get a little less as it may be harder to sell on. That is something you will need to speak to the Renault salesman about. If they give you a quote, try and go to another...
