Just fit whatever you can find to the back brakes - the way the 172 Cup is setup means the rears do hardly anything. I've covered 71k and had new rear discs two weeks ago and that was because one of the rear bearings had gone. I'm still on the original rear pads though, and they are only...

From Renault it's something like £150 + vat without the pads, so their price is pretty keen.

You get crap economy from Tesco 99 - when I've run it (out of necessity) I get approx. 5mpg less than Optimax/V-Power.

I'm catching you up Chris...I'm on 71k now. Lovin' the tyres BTW :D

I thought it was across 75% of the tyre...though IIRC which 75% is open to discussion.

Don't ever take your car back there again, they've not the first f***ing clue what they're talking about. Let them get their hands on it and they'll screw it up. A 172 Cup doesn't have that part fitted, it comes from the factory exactly as it is, the brake bias is set and non-adjustable. If...

You have a full fat 172 and not a 172 Cup right?

Had mine done with the cambelt at 69K and Mike said black sludge came out.

I like the idea of that, strip it out, get it on track...beast.

^^^ correct It's 195/45 R16

Not on the Cheddar run but will be at the Airfield.

Rentech Mike maybe?

I subscribe to a financial advice/news service and got this this morning, looks like things might be changing for insurance companies :clap: How Insurance Firms Avoid Paying Out Last month the Law Commission published its tentative proposals to change the law relating to misrepresentation...

Bad luck fella, hope it's not too costly for you.

Yeah, but my tyres will last for ever so nerrrrrr :rasp:

I got these from Ruffneck at the weekend...I reckon that makes me the winner so far LOL

Spent all that money and couldn't be arsed to get a proper 172 grill :S

I had mine done two weeks ago at 69K...£1,053 eek!!! But I did have Mike do a load of other things while it was up on the ramps, new front dampers etc.

Lovely flaps.

I totally love those wheels but I could never have them as I never wash my car and they would look s***e after one week. Looks nice mate :)

That chap at renault you were talking to was talking out of his arse. It fully disengages on a 182.

:eek: F*** the car...are you OK buddy?

Which would cost an extra £5K - he's trying to save money! Try to find an unmolested one, as there are some shocking modifications out there which they really don't need. If you plan on tracking it uprated brakes may come in handy depending on your driving style. Engine mods...costs a lot...

Absolute f***ing tossers! I went to see Ruffneck earlier to pick up his wheels/tyres that I bought...nice sleepy little area. Couldn't believe it when I got on my knees to have a look underneath :mad: I can't believe people would have the front to do that.

Mine's been like that from day one on original set-up, and now I've changed things it still does it. Having another 75-80 kgs on the left side of the car seems to help it quite a bit.

Slightly sharper throttle response, and saves you £14.00 at each service...job done :)

So long as it does settle down after a few minutes/miles it's normal behaviour, don't worry about it. And, err, welcome to the forum :)

Mine from new has always been a little hesitant and jerky once started from cold for a short while...I think you'll find most others are too. I'd have thought you'd have noticed it before though...has it only started doing it recently? Is it really bad?

Amatuer ;) Go for 205's James, I'm quite impressed by the subtle differences.
