hmm does sound noisy but you are holding the phone in the engine bay. If I put my head in there I'm sure it would be loud. Does sound a bit knocky but if your unsure just take it back to who done the work on it and tell them your not happy. did it sound like that when you bought it?

I see a lot of this "special tools" thing on cambelt posts. The garage down the road from me work on all cars and they just borrow or rent the special tools from friends in the trade....

hijackers :D well this is what I was going to get to anyway. I was going to ask what the best map was and where to get it done and what price.

ah right ok, I havnt read that post yet, you got a link? this has got excessive Renault history with everything apart from cambelt done by them. I know that's not always gospel but it all feels tight. Just a lumpy tickover so maybe its just that it needs the new belts.

haha its actually quite embarrassing. I can get then off and keep the standard sized plates for a while its just to damn cold outside. the bloke who had it was about 60 with denim on denim if that's anything to go by but he did look after the car well

cheers Daniel. I will get me a set ordered now then. Fella who I bought it off had chrome surrounds on the plates. No no no.

yeah was thinking that, will do. what was the problem you had then?

I like the 3/4 plate on the front to fit into the recess. Bit confused on size as some posts are saying 520x84 and some are saying 520x90 so just wanted to clarify. also want a rear one, are they just standard uk sized or do custom ones look nicer?

yeah was going to say, top end it pulls like a train but takes a bit to get there. my mate works at a Renault garage in Stourbridge. Ive got all the parts from ads so all genuine kits going on. its not excessive but its sort of juddery. Your at the meet on Tuesday aren't you?

does your clio (172) take a while to pick up power? I don't mean its lagging but the power isn't instant sometimes. is a bit like my 2 stroke 250 mx bike, once you hit the power and it goes on a mad one but has to build up to get to it. maybe its just me but I was just curious. is in for a...

oh it almost got uploaded there mate. Lucky you deterred me.

sound mate. Be nice to get to know some people on here personally instead of just reading comments :) I need to know what brand my exhaust is aswell so hopefully you can tell me

I should be there. In for a cambelt service on thursday/friday so if no mishaps I'm there. If I'm welcome that is being a newbie :)

:up:ah yes, that's the section I was looking for, cheers mod

haha very good. you win a like. Take a bow!

what's going on here then?

:up:ok. I should be there next Tuesday, just depends on how busy work is but I will try by best

anyone about tonight? would be nice to put a face to a name. Maybe get some night photos of the cars?

ive read cruise control came in after 03 but mine is an 04 with no cruise control so i can only guess that it was optional.

nah it doesnt have cruise control.

the silver surrounds on number plates are coming off by the way :p

ah right, cheers for that ill put him in my phonebook. Ive got it in for cambelt, dephaser and aux on Thursday at my local Renault specialist. quick question, is it normal to have a lumpy tickover on these 172 engines?

you can get matte vinyl wrap too. Flocking will be cooler though :)

£600? Jesus, I will leave what's on for now then.

this one I have had 2 weeks now. its all original, 50k miles and not a scratch in sight. 5 standard alloys all mint. am over the moon with it. I'm going to keep it all standard and at shows maybe use it as an example of what they were like from factory :) that's the plan anyway, I could get...

hi jack. I will be. Ive got a standard as you like black 172. No mods apart from an aftermarket exhaust that I will prob be changin back to stock depending on what brand it is as it does sound nice. I will get some pics up later.

just to jump in this thread save starting a new one, ive got the standard headunit built into the dash (2004 172) and a 6 cd changer under passenger seat. Is it possible to run an AUX anywhere?

You could vinyl wrap them? Any colour and any finish is possible.

Cheers guys. the seats are mint, I'm just freshening them up so I think I will just mist them with the spray
