Did you buy the car brand new, cause someone could have done a rattle fix with glue or something.

Im on 34000 miles right now, I plan on going to the renault website, searching for all renault garages within 50 miles, calling each one individually to get their cost. Apparently the charges varyas they can charge what they like. Then try and buy your own oil, Renault charge upto £50 for it.

They are saying its likely the V6 clio will be dropped from this range. Surely not...

Has anyone used the Meguiars ultimate wipe ? Its £9.99 from everythwere in the UK, but i saw on the US site you can get 20 packs for $70 . If these ultimate wipes are any good does anyone want to do a group buy...

Thanks, looks like I will get a CTR one. How do you go about replacing it? Is there a nut under the roof paneling that releases the aerial. also have you got any tips on making the replacement 100% waterproof so i dont get leaks.

I park my 172 in my garage every evening but ive got a problem. Due to the aerial being a 40 cm bee sting type , it catches on the garage door when i open/close it.The garage is a swings up and over type. the aerial gets pushed towards the mount and flexes it. I was wondering if its possible...

Got a question or two: when you are applying waxes or polishes, you say you should go up and down, does the same apply when you are wiping it off ? or should you go left to right to cancel out the up and down. Ive been wanting to use Scratch X , do you use it over the whole car like wax, or...

I need to wait till 2007 to get my plate: GU57AVN as my name is gustav. bargain ,but drawback is i will need a new car to go with it.

BUT..... The 9ff 911 uses illegal verticle wiper blades and doesnt have 2 wing mirrors. If the maclaren did the same I doubt the 911 would be faster.

On saturday night at about 2 in the morning I heard a load of chavs yelling outside down the road. Opened the curtain and watched as they walked down the road towards me, as they got closer to my house one of the chavs walked over to my 172 which was parked in my drive , initially i thought he...

are you sure the cambelt needs changing at 33k, my mk2 172 is on 35k and you got me worried .

Inferno orange. Will look great in the summer sun.

See if its coming from the interior light panel above the rear view mirror, there is what looks like an air vent with a sensor in it. My 172 makes this soundand thought initially it was coming from the front but turned out to be the above.

Yeah mine was hard to get used to too. I had to practice for a while without my left shoe on for a week or two till it was perfect. I also find with big boots on the cluth can be a pain.

Ive got a question about machine washing all my towels / mitts and pads. Is it safe to wash everything together , im worried that all the wax thats embedded in the meguiars foam pads might make the drying towels waxy. Also what temp should i use and should and should i be using any washing powder ?

182blue - great Idea there, wash the arches properly when the wheels are off.

In my old golf I got my hair caught in the sun roof when closing it, anyway I didnt notice then 30 mins later when i get out the car I almost rip half my scalp off.

stands at the front , trolley jack at the back? also where is the jack point on the underside of the car for the trolley jack

Ive got a mk2 172, not had it that long but want to change the oil. Is it possible to do this without raising the car ? If the car does need to be raised is there anything i can buy like ramps or axle stands etc.

182blue - thats an amazing shine your car has. How long did it take you from start to finish. Was planning on cleaning my alloys thoughroughly and wondered if it quicker to just jack the car up and take the wheels off one at a time to clean. Does anyone take their wheels off to clean?

I just cleaned my car today, I use Meguiars NXT wash shampoo, Gold class wax. http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1106248707__car.jpg

got a question to do with drying the car after youve washed it. How do you use the chammy or microfibre cloth to dry it? do you hold it by 2 corners and drag it along the panel. Or maybe you fold it a few times and wipe.

http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/images/cdxf7500.jpg Is that just a picture of a rev counter, or does it actually connect to the car and display correct readings.

sell me the steering wheel , as long as its off a mk2.

I just folowed that linkfor Zymol stuff and couldnt beileve the prices : http://www.vertar.com/zymol-estate-glazes.asp?pt_id=89http://www.vertar.com/zymol-estate-glazes.asp?pt_id=89 scroll to the bottom , there is a 1.4kg tub of car wax that costs £6000 , yes 6 grand.

Will deffo inform them when I do then . thanks for the advice.

Ok , but what do you wreckon they will try and raise my insurance ? do you think its worth me saying to the insurance company that Renault dont make replacements for the old ones and so i was forced to get the new 182 wheels.

I was just wondering if you have to inform the insurance company if I change the wheels on my 172 MK2. I only want to put on some anthracite 182 wheels. As they are both Renault wheels of the same size, Im thinking it wont increase my insurance premium. what do you wreckon.

spray deadener sounds good ,thanks!
