I wish you could buy the sat nav as an aftermarket option.. i would probably buy it even although it is quite expensive.. for me it would just be the finishing touch to the interior of my car.
yes this is correct.. its bass that tends to suffer the most if you have out of phase speakers.
If you speakers sound a bit farty (technical term)especially at louder levels then try switching the phase.
I wish people would realise ALL manufacturers have there horrer stories.. its not just Renault. Although I do sympathise with those unlucky people who get these cars.. luck of the draw I think.
The more complicated a car is, the more technical wizardry they put in them.. the more things can...
I cant believe someone paid to get that done to their car, whats wrong with the good old chamelon paint job..
no offence to the person who did the job, the finish looks to notch.
I got some toyo proxes .. they seem to be a really good tyre, I was gonna go for the f1s too cause everyone seemed to think they were brill.. glad i didnt now.
mine fails to start every blue moon.. when it does it i can keep the key turned for as long as you like but it wont start.. as soon as i turn the key back and try again it starts first time ..really wierd but it only does it once every now and again.. and like I said it always starts perfectly...
The brakes on the 172 are awesome eh ! when I first picked up my 172 I was making everyone headbut the windscreen.. lol
its just aswell too, cause the little car can get up to high speeds rather quickly. :D
if you like seeing your car burnt out then go ahead, the ampage of the wire has to be sufficient to carry the current that you intend to send .. I think the lighter socket is 10 amp, which is more than most lines but still not enough for amp.
It a little like a lightbulb.. pass a lot of...
Only some dealers.. It sounds like you found a guy who just doesnt give a sh*t about anything.
I would have to say.. to date, Renault Edinburgh have been good to me, sorted out most of my problems and didnt even try to argue with me about the paint defect I found.
Vote with your wallet...
ye me neither... it was introduced into the later mk2 172s.
I think renault just put a make shift version in.. just so they could say it had ESP, same goes with the VVT
oh bolls forgot to say that I have removed the spare wheel and tools inside it.. not that it will make a huge difference.
I think I am more confident about flooring it in first now. the knocking noise was terrible and I didnt like to accelerate hard in first never mind floor it.
nice.. stop being a wuss and floor it in first ;) where about do you stay cause it hasnt rained up here in Edinburgh for about 2 weeks.. (its normally 1 day of sun every 2 weeks of rain)
I really believe its the toyos.. I know people may thing im stupid, but i think the rolling resistence is less even although they provide more grip on heavy acceleration (no knocking noise now) and round corners.. also my tramlining is all but gone, which I though was wierd.
I this was somehow...
whats the point in the higher rev limit, your power is tails off a few revs before the standard limiter..
thats why it tells you to change gear before the limiter is close, because you will get better acceleration from changing up sooner and hitting the higher torque at the lower revs (4-5krpm)
