^^^^ You could try the dealers mate , tell them its seized , they should last a few years you would think , nothing to loose if you go and see them . Brakes as in pads and discs might not be covered but thats debateable , depends whats wrong with the pads and discs , how many miles , age etc...

They all do it mate . The pads rust onto the disc . New calipers are very expensive , about £120 on and exhange basis , sorry thats for a refurbed one. If it really is sticking it will ne the handbrake mechanism , the adjuster screw can rust inside . Its a bit of a ballache to sort to be honest...

I would have said spark plugs or coolant temp sensor if you didn't have the emissions light on . But i'd still go with the lambda sensor . If its the coolant temp sensor you temp guage will start to dance about , one min thinking the engines warm the next thinking its cold so over fuelling ...

Lambda sensor .

If its the original battery i would say that its knackered mate . The batteries fitted by Renault are pretty crap , low amps , if you can hold of a multimeter test the battery , it should be reading about 12.5 or 12.6 volts after its been left with the engine off for 10 mins .I think the...

^^^^ What service books this then ? Leads aren't part of the service and the recommended change for the spark plugs on a 2.016v 172 / 182 is 72,000 miles . I think somebodies telling you pork pies mate . I'd get back in touch with the dealership that recommended that they should be changed ...

You can't download it mate , you have to pay for it ;) Only manual there is i'm afraid .

Try some of this from carwashnwax , not loads n loads of suds but as Rich says it doesn't need to be as long as it is slick and this stuff is very slick , leaves the car looking great . Discount for CS members if you e mail David Graham . Plus lots of other good products that he sells so...

There's a Haynes manual for the clio 2001 - 2004 but not for the sport model , it covers pretty much everything except the engine , it wouldn't be worth their while printing one as the sports models were only sold in small quantities compared to the standard range...

13.8bhp i think they've got the decimal point in the wrong place , lol , more like 1.38bhp ;) They're not exactly going to say that you gain little or no power or they wouldn't sell it . I phoned k+n the other week about a problem i had after fitting the apollo and spoke to the guy on research...

How come you had the leads and plugs changed on the 182 ? I know the plugs are suppose to last 72k which is very optimistic imo as i had to change mine at 30k on my old 172 . What leads and plugs have you got on now , seems like your problem lies with either or both as you say the problems...

So whats the difference in leaving the second lambda sensor off ( in a tube ) a 182 and a 1.416v ?How come the 1.4 will run like a bag o' shite when the 182 is supposed to be ok with the exception that it might cause the toxic emissions light to come on ? Anybody know whats the difference ??

I agree with Alan xxx hardcore wax on my arctic blue looks good from carwashnwax. Also liquid souveran from www.motorgeek.co.uk http://www.motorgeek.co.uk/pinnacle-liquid-souveran-p-77.html Also the the extreme body wash shampoo is excellent ...

Seats look mint . Rest of the 197 still looks crap imo .

I'm probably wrong , somebody correct me if i am . I had a similar problem a while ago , a series of beeps a few seconds apart . It could either be your memory fcuked up , or could be your memory not seated right .If yu've got more than 1 stick of memory you could try leaving one in and...

Comparing it to my gps , the speedo ( needle ) reads over by a few mph . If i set the cc to 80 the gps reads about 79 on the flat bearing in mind if your going up a hill or down a hill the Renault manual does state that it is unable to maintain the set speed .

If they don't tell you that its going to cost you anything then i'd let them go ahead and do it . Thats what Kitchens did at Burnley with me, when i went to pick the car up the guy on the desk said that'll be £360 . I told em the other guy who was on his day off said it would be ok and never...

I've had toyo t1-rs and t1-s when i had a 172 and tbh i thought they were absolute sh*te in the wet . Nowhere near as much grip as the Michelins .

Like ya say . They are not the cheapest but you have to weigh up the pros and cons . I'd rather pay £20 - £30 more for a tyre that i'm happy with and know is a good performer than save a few quid and not be happy with the handling . £78.40 delivered from mytyres ...

I'm impressed with the Michelins on my 182 so i'll be sticking with them when i need to replace them . If your happy with em stick with em otherwise if your try a different tyre and your not happy with it then your stuck with em for the next ??000 miles . The contis that came as standard on...

Agree with wrx 172 . I can't believe it never need to be cleaned , a filters a filter i.e. removing dirt , dust etc so there has to come a time when the filter becomes so dirty that it will not allow the same amount of air through as when it was new .

I'm impressed with this QD from carwashnwax http://www.carwashnwax.com/10278/info.php?p=7&cat=20269

I just use packetnews for the irc, especially for the latest music. Soulseeks just a peer 2 peer file sharing program for music , give it a try , its good for some of the more obscure and older songs as well . I personally don't touch limewire , bearshare and all that other crap , i used to use...

With a larger profile tyre i pressume ? Personally i'd just look out for a spare 182 alloy on here or ebay and stick it in the boot .

Sounds like a seized caliper to me . One is braking harder than the other causing it to pull to one side . Get it on a flat car park with no camber and brake hard a few times with your hands off the steering wheel , if its seized it'll wobble the steering wheel . Not that hard of a problem to...

If its loud now it'll probably get slightly louder after its been on a while . All aftermarket exhausts are louder than the standard exhaust in varying degrees , even those that claim to be the same as standard from what i've read on here do seem to have a slight increase in noise . You might...

Sounds ok to me . How much exactly is he asking for it and how much do you have to spend ? Theres lots of 172's for sale out there so its a buyers market , loads knocking about for around the £6k mark , check out the autotrader website .If you have any doubts walk away . I'd do an hpi check on ...

Nice result Debz . I like how he chaged his tune as soon as you mentioned the office of fair trading , lol . Like Kiza says , seems a bit weird why the 14" wheels woudn't fit , but i guess thats not point as you wanted 13" wheels in the first place . Well done :)

I use Bit tornado , never had a problem with it .

Nope not me Darren . FF Arctic blue no stripes though .
