They probably could have, but its not a good join then, so i am happier that they decided to re-order the correct part and connect it properly.

the window buttons operate like this, press and hold to go up or down, or press up/down quickly to get them to go up/down by themselves, not a problem. By the way, my hazards dont flash, but i do get a beep sound. Strange?

Went to Demontweeks today to get a full magnex system fitted, 50 mile drive there, running late, got lost, bit of fancy work with the old 172 engine and the navigation got there in the nick of time. Good. Car up on the ramp, exhaust out, plenty of bubble wrap later we are looking good..... Then...

I use my car almost every day without fail, but from time to time on weekends it doesnt get used, then i find, when i use it on the monday, its fantastic, wants to go racing off straight away? , its very strange, always this way when it hasnt been used for a day or two?

they are a bit slidy, but it makes for fun on roundabouts!!

do I hold the record for being on the standard contis the longest then? Beause im now on 16,600 and still a bit to go!?

I phoned up Directline last night to find out if they would charge me more to add a stainless steel exhaust to my policy, only to be told that they do not allow modifications to cars unless you are 25 or over, WTF?? I would have thought they would atleast allow it at an extra cost?, Is there...

Im getting fed up of having my 172 standard now, and am also fed up of the standard Reno exhaust system, you know, the one with the dodgy rattles, clicks and bangs when cooling down etc, and the one that just basically gives an unhealthy sound to the car. So I want to go Stainless (as it were)...

mine is a november 2002 as well, i thought i was doing bad with 16,000!!

I have got some pretty major problems with my import 172 that need to be sorted out, problem is that i havent sorted out my warranty yet and next month the car is one year old. I have tried searching the posts (because i know this has been asked many times before) but can someone who has already...

mine used to do this all the time, took 2 or 3 times to start, took it in to Renault Liverpool they said it was a sensor on the fly weel, they played about with it, and now it has started 95% of the time ever since.

brake covers? do you mean caliper paint?

I am in DEFINATELY!!

in a word, yes!

im not being funny, but each time i have taken mine in to have them replaced they havent really been that long with the car, certainly not long enough to take the bumper off!! Is there any chance that they are just gluing new balls back in?

ive had mine replaced under warranty twice now, and i tell you what, if they go again over a year then i am not paying for them, its a renault fault, the bloody things shouldnt fall off the car. Are you sure they take the bumper off? I cant see that myself, each time i have taken mine in to have...

i dont know what the hell you guys have been doing, i wheel spin occasionally, take corners fairly hard quite often, and the car is on 15k and still on the original set with plenty to go!!?

Just phoned Renault Insurance who have confirmed that I have 5 years no claims which I can use wherever I want, so I have managed to get a quote from DirectLine Fully Comp for £756.00 (22, M, 3 pnts SP30, MK2 172)!!

Ive been told by Renault Insurance that i got 2 yrs ncb free after my first free year, and that if i go to another company those free ncb do not count.

Liverpool Victoira wont quote me for some reason? presumably 22 on a group 16

managed to get £1073.10 from directline.

havent got it on me mate, im with them at the moment so theyve give me a renewal quote, the renewal line is 0870 024 2481, if you dial that you can prob get the quote line from them.

elephant was around £1500!! tesco around £1160, renault around £1160

Its time to renew my insurance, im 22, M, 3 yrs ncb, and 3 points for an SP30, on a MK2 172 valued at £10K, and i cant get a quote under £1,100? Does that sound right?

Why dont you try this : - Sorry officer, its a fault with the car, its stuck on 81mph! Renault are looking at it next week. LOL. Sorry to hear about that mate.

i am thinking of getting a full magnex, which one should i go for? twin or single oval? and how noisy is it on the 172?? cos i would imagine it to be quite loud!! (which is a bad thing in my opinion) im more of a sporty tone kind of guy.

70% of the time when first starting in the morning, mine takes 2 or sometimes 3 times to get started, this is a known immobiliser issue apparently. Another trip to Renault...

yep, i got mine!!

ive had a set of Toyos (205/40/17) and found them to be really good in all conditions, and will be changing for them on my 172 soon.

arent they 195/45/16?
