Lizzie, let me know if you want those springs now that BenR has said theyll go on a MK1. Was the £168 just for the front springs?! Renault really are cheeky feckers!

Erm, the 172 isnt the fastest production car by a very long shot, so why would anyone other than the Iraqi info minister say otherwise? Dur!

Ben - will MK2 172 springs fit a MK1?

Dunno, youre talking to someone who bought a car for £500, changed the brakes and sold it for £200 and somehow managed to get about three blocks of lard wedged in the engine bay in the meantime :confused: BenR, BobRTE? These are the people to ask!

Ive got some springs from a mk2 172 if youre interested.

looks green! Dont let benj see it!

Cool. Craggy, thanks for the offer but I want it done with stamp and receipt as Ill probably be selling soon and want to maintain the full service history, receipts etc. Rhys

Its definitely more of a Scccccccccccccchhhhhhhhhhhluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrpppppp noise that a pphhaarrrppp noise.

You forgot: Wear and tear to Renault premesis - £962.15 Breathing air on Reanult premesis - £453.23 Incompetancy surcharge - £1154.67 I think that Renault employ wannabe stand up comedians to answer their phones, hence the comical quotes people always seem to get.

Not a bad idea... Then you can take it off and get a refund when you get pissed off at the silly noise it makes! ;)

Does the following sound reasonable: Minor Service - £90 Wheel bearing change - £75 Trying to decide whether to carry on looking around for better prices. Called Ripoff Renault and they wanted: Minor Service - £165 Wheel bearing change - £188 Con artists!

Stevo, just teasing! I did the same to my 1.4 Clio, hence how I know it sounds awful and does nothing! I honestly suggest taking them up on their money back offer before damaging your car by hacking hoses up. With a 1.2 you will probably be better off spending your money on handling if you want...

When I was having my problems after I flattened the battery, the car kept intermittanly cutting out. Turned out to be an ever so slightly loose connection on the battery. Looked fine, but the things (technical term) that hold the cables on the battery had come loose by about half a turn...

Good point, but then again, who would pay £50 for a piece of plumbing pipe and then cut their brake servo hose to attempt to get the £50 piece of pipe (presumabley made out of solid gold) to "create turbulence in the air intake" to get that debateable 1bhp? Heheheh....

Stevo - well, it costs me 3 pence per unit to make, but you can have one for £42.50 :p

Or even better, DONT! Or just buy my advanced car tuning product, the hyper-mega fuel hose technopaperclip. Will do as much good. And dear god, the noise that those Ecowhatsits make is genuinely awful! Imagine a loon perpetually emptying the dregs of a mcdonalds milkshake in your engine bay...

Even saw someone (in a 5 door RT) with a baked bean can neoned exhaust pipe. Oh dear. Neons really do look pants IMO. Its like screaming LOOK AT ME!!!! and you look and its a 1.3 Popular Escort or a 1.2 RN Clio or something. No offence intended though!

At the wheels, to be fair!

But as Wayne says, youre not moving, so even if you use 1000 gallons of petrol, youll have still travelled zero miles, hence 0.0 miles for every gallon of fuel used!

Mines got a more rattly exhaust than your, times infinity plus one. Hah!

Mines got a bigger dent in the bonnet than yours!

My wheels are golder than yours...

Nah mate, we all know that the Williams is fastest!

:p

<Puts sh*t stirring hat on> Anyway, a 172 actually only has 162bhp... <Takes hat off and runs away fast>

Oh no! Not again!

Someone email Renault customer services. I keep seeing emails from some woman called Anna something or other who tends to reply to the more bizzare requests. Sure they could find the figures for you.

Erm....all of the above!

Youre in or near Sheffield arent you? I think you just came across the same Galaxy as I did. Undertook me at about 90mph, the tw*t!

Its still a 206 :sick: You cant polish a turd. Well, maybe you can, but its still a turd underneath.
