Hi
Posted some pics about month ago of my new to me Ph1 172. Now my problem is the fog/spot lights don't work most of the time. I have acctually seen them light up while out of the car checking if they are on.
If I turn them on a go for a drive when I arrive whereever I'm going more often than...
Ren Tech should test it for leaks. I got mine tested for £10. Found leak on condenser. Fitted a new condenser £85 and then paid £40 for flush and re-gas. Now it's mint.
Nice car Day. Agree with the wheels. Should of been 16 standard. Sooo much better!
BrainR the aircon guy had a leak tester and he said it is condenser. Said it's stone chipped due to mileage. How would I know if it's the seals not the condenser. He moaned that it's not easy to get to cause...
Yeah nice Chris. My bonnet has some stone chips in so may be cleaner but think yours is in better condition!
Appart from front end though rest of mine is mint a can't grumble. My will spend some on bonnet later in year. Never seen a black phase1 driving round yet but nice to see some of yours.

Seem to grip nice TBH. Mind you haven't drove one in ages so can't really compare.
Do you think they are a good choice of tyre for it? Obviously if I boot it in first any tyre will struggle. Also think exhaust is knocking sometimes when accelerating fast one uneven roads. Mechanic...
All standard and like it that way. Gonna take it to Protune for a look at to check everything is fine.
Any suggestions are welcome. Also nearside door trim is loose and need some clips for it. Any suggestions other going to Renault parts dealership. How much would I be looking. Also need a...
Just thought I'd say hi.
Wanted a 172 for ages and found this one and don't see many round like it so I got it. Plenty of mk2 around and 182s but not many mk1s in black.
What you think?
