My O/S washer was inoperative so at service they replaced it with one that leaks.... always has and always will - life's too short to replce this again,.. with another product with a known fault.

my leather is a bit worn (2001 172 mk2) aye, was when i got the car at 32k

yeah, liquid yellow is lush. Have seen just the one 172 in that colour on a sunny day in St Helens back in the summer. Made my pearl black 172 feel a bit drab!!!! I like my dark-skinned french tart, but liquid yellow is just cool as fook 'in the flesh' so to speak. ENJOY AWAY!!! Just go...

that thing is both poo and cr@p. did you sell it's accompanying bum-fluff moustache and baseball cap?

P-I-M-P-in'

i had one of these, a 1.4 as a courtesy car when my 172 was serviced... deadly quiet, very economical: 35mpg around London but the least feedback I've received from a car, oh and boy was it slow. And it handled like my old MkV Cortina. Had a glass roof and keyless entry etc though...v.swish...

fookin' piece of sheet

many say you should go for 205s, I can't see it helping that much TBH. I like to think the renault techies knew what they were doing (at some point)

i was thinking of more like a £2 wire and actually controlling the ipod directly; is this possible?

sorry Genius, in layman's terms can I connect my ipod with a wire from Maplins to the back of my stereo and just plug and play?

i've found the cause: the plastic cover of the runners, near and parallel to the dor sill flexes... if i hold it tight there's no squeak. Guess i'll shove a rag in between it and the door sill or something

cheers fella, i was searching for 'internet usage logs' and the like... Bandwidth - d-err. Nice one.

does anyone know of a freeware utility that will show how many Mbs I use per month,.. I'm restricted to 1 Gb and don't want to be stung!!! Any suggestions, links etc appreciated John

any other takers?

is it 3.5mm or phono to phono? Could you just wire the ipod to it and control the ipod independently of the HU? Which moodels is this in? Will it be in my 2001 full fat 172?

what a helpful chap

i like 'em, lose the puddle lights and exhaust and i'd want your motor

easy +10bhp and additional down force from the weight

kully, you're just a generation ahead of your time,.. no doubt in years to come social commentators will see you as a pioneer of a growing scene, good taste and artistic expression. We're just not ready for you. My concern with cars suiting there owners' so called individuality is that...

thanks for the replies; I was hoping someone had had the problem and could suggest a proven remedy... I'll get to the bottom of it one day!!!

bumpety... bump

my mate works for renault, he said the airbag may go off when disconnecting the wires under the seats... ON MINE THEY NEVER HAVE DONE, I've taken them all apart before, and refitted the stupid connectors on passeneger seat and renewed connections on driver's seat. awkard to say the least...

how much water is in the car? If you have v.little water in the system the heater will blow cold... just a thought, before you rip your car to bits

Sounds like the back/side of base nr door of the driver's seat is creaking under my weight (I'm 16 stone, and before people start checking their cupboards for unaccounted pies, I'm 6ft 4), now I'm heavy, but surely there's heavier people who don't 'ave creaky seats? Anyway, I've tightened the...

engine mounts?

I'm a big fan of your chamois to be honest; if it aint broke don't fix it

if you're saying there could be overspray and probably rust on the discs (from bad weather while unused), then i imagine this would reduce the friction on the braking surface. I've got the mk2 172 and the braking power is immense; 100-0mph is something like 4 secs, better than a ferrari 360...

it's all work that needs doing, and it's an independent specialist i went to... just a pain finding £240 + MOT £36 + £15 re-test fee; the new MOT procedure is crazy... The price of each job is fair + labour, just feel a bit cheesed off that a 4yr old car that's been well looked after, at...

conti for me - wet driving is very good imo. Why wasn't conti' in the poll then?

Took my mk2 172 for an MOT at a Renault Indie today, came back needing: OSR wheel bearing (I've been saying that for 10k and Renault said it was fine)... So I'm happy, cos it's noisy as hell. NS lower ball joint; again I've noticed some not so inspiring metallic clunks for a while now...
