Its kind of in my view, its just a bit below my eye line.

Is a inch long crack in the windsreen an MOT failure? My MOT is up at the end of November and in the last few months I have not seen a single window repair bloke in any of the supermarket car parks. I know that the repair is free, I just havn't seen one, will the car fail its MOT if I leave it?

I had a spare set given to me when I bought my car but I do know from other peoples threads that the rear ones are about £50 each, not sure about the frount ones. Someone on hear will know though mate.

It will most probably be your shocks/dampers. They fail all the time, it sounds like you've lost some fluid out of them, they will need changing mate. I just changed my rear ones today and I could not believe how much they were leaking. My 172FF was bouncing over bumps and sliding out on...

Nice one for all the info guys Im changing them 2morra. Can I do it with a standard jack? as I have nothing else.

Then burn the dealership down! I refuse to let Renault anywhere near mine. There muppets in Nottingham!

Sod it then, i'm just gonna change em without a torque wrench, i'm sick of bouncing over bumps and sliding round corners! Went sideways round a roundabout the other day, scared the sh1t out of some bloke waiting to cross, and it was in the wet, with a car beside me, nearly hit him. Wasnt...

I spoke to GDI today and they told me that the rear dampers need 80-90nm of torque on the bottom nut, and the top one just needs tightening as much as it will go. They also said that the wheel nuts need 100nm of torque and that its realy important to torque them up, because its feckin...

My mates got the Milltek systems on his 182 cup, its not that much louder than standard but it has alot more bass, makes it sound meaner. Plus the tail pipes fill the bumber recesess perfectly, the standard ones looked like pea shooters in comparison.

Will that not screw up the handeling? 105NM it should be done to. Won't mess it up going over or under but its good practice don't bodge anything Is that the top or bottom nut or both?

Just bodge it lol. Will that not screw up the handeling?

Forgot to mention its a 172FF PH2.

I've read as much as possable about changing rear shocks/dampers. Nowhere does it mention torque settings for the nuts. Alot of peaple say just tighten them up, but why do torque settings exist for the rear shocks/dampers if its not important! Could someone please tell me what the deal is!

They flash on my 172FF, however my T/C is Fooked! So every now and again I will have Serv + esp light on. To skint to get diagnostic a check. GDI in peterborough said they would check it for me £15 but I cant even afford that! I have to chose between food or car!

If its aftermarket head unit then you will need an adapter. there about £20.

Mine does it on both sides. Sh1t scary in the wet!

Totally standard setup The cars done 52k its a 52plate and I have no recipt for change of shocks. Had the car since july.

Whenever im on bumpy roads in my 172FF the back feels like its skipping/Bouncing around, If im on a bend or the road has an adverse camber and I hit a bump, it jumps to one side. My m8s 182cup doesnt do it at all and thats lighter, we have concluded that my rear shocks/dampers are on the way...

I think thats probably best, no-one has ever mentioned them on here, but everyone goes on about GDI. Best not to risk it with a garage that no-ones used.

Does anyone know if there any good? I asked for a quote on a cambelt change and diognostic check (T/C fault code) last week, ive rang up about 4 times and still no call back, if there this bad at ringing you back what they gonna be like with my car. Just wondered if anyone has had any...

Just one thing. Don't forget to write the EXACT TIME he took it off your hands in a 24h clock, you dont want him getting done for speeding and then blaming you.

If you have the service book (the red one) its printed inside the frount cover at the bottom. Just pray that the code in the book is the one for the stereo in your car. When I bought my 172 someone had put a different head unit in so my code diddn't work. Had to buy a completely new...

Ive got a 172 FF, when I got it the exhausts was blowing and leaking water vapour from one of the joins. £10 exhaust heat sealent from halfrauds sorted it. (as long as the hole or gap isnt that big)

One of my brake light has misted up, on warmish days its fine. Its is the weather!

Ive tempted fate now havent I!

OK I'll check the solonoid. My cars a 52 plate so no warenty left on it. I'll have to paty more cash. Bloody car, the only thing that works properly is the engine.

ok i'll have a sparky look at it. Cheers for advice.

I dont know a thing about electrics, I'll have to get someone to look at it. Im sick of Renault Nottingham, they just dont know as much as the forum!

Ive just realised that when I lock the car the boot stays unlocked! When you open it the alarm goes off, but this is no good if i'm not near the car. Has anyone else had this problem? How do you sort it out?

Ive been searching for a new head unit and some of them are compatable with steering controls, some of the cheaper Alpines. There around £100-£200. I did all my research online, just typed in car stereos and found loads. If you buy one that isn't compatable then an adapter is needed £20ish.
