Cheers, everyone, hadnt had a lot of time to reply. Have upped the pressures on the front to 35 and 33 on the rear, and it seems far better, seems much more preditable. When I checked the pressure the garage had put them at 28psi, even though i asked for 33!!! I had the tyres replaced as one...

Ugh!!! That is seriousley bad, and I always gave credit to the french as having reasonable sense of style!!!

You did pay the excess on the break in. They will have deducted it from the total loss value. E.g. for example if you write off you car and its new, you get list price minus your excess. You always pay full excess in an accident until fault is decided. Upon the claim being settled and the thrid...

Ive always thought clios had superb brakes. The dynamique brake were mcuh better than the puntos I had before that.

I have have had my 172 for 2 weeks and done a whopping 2k, the car has now done 7k. In these two weeks the front tyres have been replace ( A long story). However, I had thought to myself that the handling was becoming disappointing, but thought it was me adjusting to car. My dad drove the car...

Dont I know!!! I never been pulled over in 2yrs of driving before I started working there. Ive been pulled over more times than I care to remeber now.!!

Work in McDs in Platt Bridge:)

I was wondering this as well. Thanks for the advice.

Nice motor, I work in Platt Bridge, Wigan, not too far away from you???

Arent you goona have the same problem with the other side??? £400 put of your own pocket is a lot. Can you not try and recover the costs yourself once blame has been accepted by the other party???? If you are certain that you arent to blame then Im sure you will be able to claim the costs back!!

You would need the font bumper, grill, two wings and inner acrchesand two side skirts to create a 172 front. Not sure it would look right on a standard clio as the wheels would sit too far inside the arch???

usually around 42mpg. Did a run upto sunderland on motorway lastweek before I got pxd it and got 47mpg. My extreme was superb, only took it to renault once for sunroof. My dynamique had a couple of visits main one was for the stalling problem which is corrected by an ecu fault. Also had the...

Its a choice whether to have a cup/172 or willy or/16v.......etc and there are always a number of defining reasons. I had the choice and was really torn, would have had a cup or 172 was overly bothered, 172 had slight preference cause i wanted the aircon etc mainly cause ive not had them...

Ive had two. Excellent cars, loads you can do, I colour coded the second one which was platinum makes it look much smarter and can be done for around £200. Lowered mine makes the world of difference to the handling. 17s dont upset the handling at all. My first one was ordered 1st week of August...

Is that fitted??

I do think he drives it hard. But not that much more than I did. It has only gone on one side only. The pad has damaged the disc and the point is that if the pads could wear under the service interval then surely safety checks in the middle of the service intervals should be re-introduced. It...

I am looking for some advice. My mate has a 52reg Extreme which has done 11500. After hearing a grating noise under braking he took his car striaght to renault. They have said it needs a set of pads and discs. I can maybe understand the pads, but not discs. I did 16k in my dynamique and didnt...

Happy birthday. :D

Its booked in on Thurs, few other minor bits This is my third clio and niether of the others did this. Just wanted to make sure that i hadnt missed anything stupid. Is 9mths old so well within warranty Thanks Adam

Im sure MK1 172s do have Xenons. Dont all the 98-01 with the twin headlamps have xenons. Had a good look tonight, there is definitley only one dial which adjusts the dash brightness. Agree, V6 will definitley be more fun , however 4/5seats I need and am pushing the boat out for the 172. I...

I had that on my dynamique/extreme. On this there is only one dial that dims the dash.

At the moment the niggles arent bothering me as Im smitten by it!! I have an excellent local dealership who always sort things out first time (touchwood).

looks quite cool.

Cheers for the info, will get them to do both, its booked in on Thurs. Are the Xenons auto adjusting as I had a dial on my extreme. Its just one seems to point down and the other more horizontal. HAve asked them to take a look at this as well. was just wondering. Cheers Adam

Got my 172 yesterday. Cant figure out the stereo. It doesnt come on with the ignition so you have to turn it on manually, which is fine, but then it goes off every twenty minutes so you dont leave it on running the battery flat. Anyone any ideas???? Cheers Adam

Its got 5k on the clock, a dealer demo so has probably been thrashed. Spent alnight last night driving in it. Its Awesome. Yep I was there lastnight trying to find out how bits work with the handbook. Have had my first niggle as a 172 owner, the airbag warning light keeps coming on. I know...

Bet you cant wait mate. Ive waited nearly 4weeks and cant wait.:)

Isnt the second (from the left)Iceburg 172 lowered????

17s wont trash the handling at all. I think youll regret it if you get 16s. I was unsure which to go for when I had my dynamique, lowered 40mm on 17s the handling was fantastic!!!

Best: Goodyear GSD3 the latest Ace, would have nothing else but are serious money!!!!!. I thought these were superb. Noticeabley better than the Toyo Proxes I had on before them. Worst: PZero Assemetrico. For the money they really werent upto the job!!!
