same goes my 172 has been trouble free and just about to hit 18000 miles.

What he said ^^ Unfortunatly in general you have to sacrafice some ride comfort for handling, although with a harder ride the tyres tend to just let go when corenering hard, instead of a more progressive slide.

they should have done the handles blue.. look stupid and out of place.

Tesco was the best for me, if its not your postcode then try them as I am 25 with 5 years NCD one conviction 7points £580 Fully comp

:@ <<<< try this

:confused:

Cant say I have had any problems with my gearstick

Yes you should be able to start giving it some throttle.. just make sure the oil has fully warmed up (20min run somewhere first)

Sounds like the voice of experience ;)

:o Which police officer has he been rubbing up the wrong way ??? admob, grr !! i knew there would be people with much cheaper quotes..

Unfortunaly cheapness comes with age :cry:

Ye well Racelogic is kinda different to renault !!

Just checking up on my insurance renewal. 25 Years old, 7 points, 5 years NCD for a 2002 Clio 172 £598 Fully Comp with legal protection 200 pound excess ! woop !

Not really an aftermarket option and I doubt you would want it anyway, from what one person on here said it really stopped him enjoying his 172 (and there was no button to switch it off, renault made a few without the switchoff option)

I had a set of avons on my old car, they werent the best on the market thats for sure.

The worst thing renault can say is "We dont know what the fault is". Good luck getting it fixed. but as paul says the 172 does come with a lumpy idle cause of the wild cams.

You cup owners have got it cheap.. Its something like £60 a bulb for us.. £120 for a set !!!!

err, ye .. not too sure about the black tailgate on white car.. it will look like you just been down to the scrapies and picked up a new tailgate.

And the R-sport ECU wont take advantage of any mods.

Very limited. ECU and 1 other thing which doesnt come instantly to mind.

The technical term is "non latching"

Why do people assume that I havent drivin one ? I have ! and it picks up a bit quicker thats it... but it was barely noticable.

not a memeber and not gonna sign up.. someone post here what it says.

Ye I think I will stick with the 172, i just couldnt bare to be seen in a corsa... *shudder*

Wasnt the original exhaust a one peice but replacements two peice because you couldnt fit a one piece cause of the axle or somthing. maybe someone can clarify

best bet is replace the pads, could be a faulty caliper but I would do the cheapest things first and replace the pads. But monitor the pad wear and make sure that the pads arent really scrubbing otherwise the disks might heat up too much.

better steering ? you mean better turn in .. woop I will adjust my toe in same result. Throttle response ? same engine ? one fbw no real difference. handling ? -3mm and alloys which add 10mm ?

trust me .2-.3 of a second ISNT noticable.

Sorry I didnt make it, I did post a message a couple days before letting you know I wouldnt be able to make it though. I will pencil in 26th October ! oh and where you met the last time would be easy enough for me.

The damage will depend on revs at the time.. if it was idiling it may not be too bad (still bad though) but if it was at 7250rpm then your probably talking major damage.
