    Mk2 V6 as an everyday car

    What about a diesel Clio or Fabia VRS? Even if your only driving back and forth to work youll save about £600/yr on fuel a Clio will save you about 50% on servicing costs since it only neeeds servicing ever 18k. Insurance will be less and you should be able to pick up a 65hp dci with a Yrs...

    New key

    Its about £80 for a new key and for it to be programmed, only Renault can do it. Did you only have one key with the car form new? Its should have two keys might well be worth getting Renault to check how many keys are autorised to work on the car and have any extra keys removed.

    Comparison, Cup vs. Cupra R

    Your biggest problems/weeknesses? with the Cup seem IMo to be the suspension and the aftermarket exhaust. Did you look at a 182 with Cup stuff? When its going to be remapped? They do look very good though and grown up if that makes some sence (maybe as its got 5 doors).

    parts from a 172 fit a standard clio mk2

    Its a push on fit the gearnob (not exactly designed to be swopped). To get the old one off is difficult you have to cut it of or give it some real stick with some mole grips.

    Renault contact

    The version 48 of the CD ie two Cds previously has the Mk2 V6 data on it as far as I know. Sounds like the dealers a little slow have you tried another dealership?

    How do I check the alarm

    try and set it off leave the winodws open and climb in and shake the car and make noise in it. Does it have any sensors though on the windscreen pillars or a flashing light down on the center console near the gear stick? If not then its probably not got an alarm.

    This look odd at all

    The 1.2 Clios is infact 1149cc but its called a 1.2 for some reason. I think its like BMW saying the 318 it should/used to mean a 3 series with a 1.8 engine but its infact 1.9 I belive. Same for the 535d its a 3.0 liter diesel. The new shape came in on a the Y plates hence why Evo had a Y...

    Mk2 172 Leccy windows

    Its its going up and down on its own its nothing to do with the runners sounds like motors/wiring/UCH is bust. UCHs have failed before when they get water on them sound like this might be happening. Might be worth pulling the fuse on the windows.

    What did I do

    Sounds like youve soaked the lambeda sensor possibly spraying water up the exhaust. If you want just unplug the sensor and tape the connection us and you wont have the problem (its the issue decat owners have often).

    Minor things you’d like fixing..

    10 times the power 10 times the MPG. No rattles craks etc. Softer ride. Better cornering. Higher of the ground. But more importantly better feedback from the wheel and more ccurate stearing.

    Tracking

    I wouldnt trust Renault to be any better than Quick fiit, if anything Quick fit will probably be better that Renault. Try any local garage they can usually do a check for you for £20~35 and much better than Quick fit or Renault.

    To be fair to Renault I dont think the flaps youve bought are supposed to be for the 172/182s there for the normal cars.

    Newbie flame-ball thread - Lowering = poo

    Ok Ill reword that. Younger drivers (by proportion) are more likely to have lowered cars and crash more (hence why we pay more insurance) as we drive with less risk/less skill/less experiance and at high speed than older drivers/ stock ride height car drivers as we want to enjoy (subjective as...

    Wha r they ’supposed’ 2 do on ya 1st serv

    Not much they do change the oil and filter check bits over and thats about it. Coolent isnt chnaged till 5yrs or err lot of miles (I forget the figure). As for the power stearing bottle just check it youself they should have though. Just remove the top of it and have a check.
