^^^^ I couldn't agree more . ^^^^
But i do also think that there are other factors to consider . Like how easy on/off the product is , the finish you get , length of time it lasts etc ...
I've always been a big fan of AG super resin topped off with the Extra gloss protecion , as i have...
Better if you can take em off , spray em up and leave em a couple of days .
I used some wire brushes like these in an electric drill to clean mine up .

No. I used the lambswool mitt to wash the car with the extreme body wash shampoo , after i finished washing the car and looked at the mitt the stains on the mitt had gone .
Ordered some stuff from carwashnwax at 10.30pm Thurs , came 9.30am friday :)
Used the Extreme body wash shampoo today , can't recommend it enough , excellent stuff , smells gorgeous too . The megs lambswool mitt i use had a couple of stains on it now they've gone , even my washing machine...
Try poweflow .
I had an exact copy of the 172 exhaust made , cat back , stainless , lifetime warranty £270 fabricated and fitted , as loud or as quiet as you want , you choose the backbox that suits you .

They must be quoting labour charges for changing your plugs .
The originals are NKG PFR6E-10 .

Some people use Bosch and seem to be happy with em ...
The cables are about £85 from Renault , thats if they will sell em separate , 2 dealerships i spoke to wouldn't . The changer and cable package is around £300 , wtf :(
If you really want to stick with the Renault setup it would be cheaper to get a tunerlist headunit out of an older 172 to...
Definitely the clip has broken on the cv boot , thats grease you've got all over your wheel . Or might even be the cv boot itself split but i'd say just the clip . Pretty common thing .
Vipers and Maxogens seem to be the way to go for filters . Fred does cams for the 172 , give him a bell .

Got my 182 cos i had a mk2 172 with just over 4 years trouble free motoring .
Also cheap considering all the toys you get , the look of the car , handling / speed . Best car in its class imo .
As bmh says . The 05 182 has the cabasse update headunit , the older headunits were tuner lists .You need the corresponding cable and changer for the newer cabasse headunit .
Imo Xenons light up the road better than standard bulbs . Try driving alongside another car on a dark motorway and compare which car is the lighting the road up better .
I'd never have a car without xenons ever again !

That might work . You need to dissolve the stain . Alacantara is polyester so is pretty tough .
My mate had some dents taken out of his X3 with these guys, they are based over Chorley way so not far from you .

Let us know how you get on mate if you use em .
Yeah cables ties should be ok . I had both the clips snap on my 172 . When i bought my 182 new i put cable ties over the clips as soon as i got it just for good measure . Use big thick ones , about 8mm .
Nice one ^^^^ Glad you got it sorted for free , as you should do :)
The inconsistency of some Renault dealerships is unbelievable , they don't seem to have a clue what is or isn't covered by the warranty .
