    Clio Sport 2006

    Renaultsport Clio The three-door performance flagship due in summer 2006 will retain its familiar Renaultsport moniker and the winning formula of lightweight body, tail-happy chassis, honed suspension, a gutsy 2.0 litre naturally aspirated engine and talkative steering. Expect power to climb...

    Just noticed this on my brakes

    cheers loony, i just hadnt noticed it before. Makes sense now youve cleared things up, never even concidered that brake discs would need balancing too.

    Disgusted

    I cant see how they are linked either, however i can claim to have a similar problem which would suggest there may be some reasoning behind their request. I have a hard disk based MP3 player which connects to the standard renault head unit CD changer connector (via a connects2 interface which...

    Wheres the bloody 182 on top gear!

    I think the review was good, but it does seem like they have to go out of their way to find faults. The bit where he slates the carpet, and being able to see screws and bare metal was a bit unfair. Im not saying the carpet is great, but as for the screw and bare metal, that was because he had...

    traffic on 172 radio

    I thought it remembers the volume you last had it set to during a traffic report. Certainly did this in another car, but havent really tried it on the Clio. Next time you get a traffic announcement come on, adjust the volume to the level you want.

    Cheap servicing or incorrect quote

    Just booked my 172 in for its 12000 mile service at Linningtons in Portsmouth. First of all dealer told me that it didnt need one till 18000, until i pointed out what it says in the service manual..... :@ Earliest date for a courtesy car booking was 22nd December, not too bad really i...

    Swapping Tyres.....

    Dont put your worn tyres on the rear! Worn tyres on front = more understeer which may slow your lap times, but provided you dont over do it you will be able to safely drive as fast as the cars level of grip will allow. Worn tyres on rear = less understeer due to better grip on front, but...

    warning lights

    Yep, I had exactly the same happen to me when my 172 was about 3 weeks old. Didnt come back on again after switching off, and has never done so since. Took it into Renault to get the diagnostics checked and they said nothing was wrong. They said it might just have been some dust in the...

    172 Battery

    I would imagine the warranty will exclude consumable items such as light bulbs, fluids, batteries, and general wear and tear items like brake pads tyres etc. I know a car battery isnt exactly consumable so it seems a bit harsh, but i doubt it would be covered. I suppose it depends on the...

    Creaky steering

    The steering on my new 172 has started to creak when its turned, particularly when its been parked in the sun for a while (although it doesnt have had to have got all that hot) Sounds like it is coming from just under the top of the steering column in front of the dash. Anyone else had this...

    172-engine troubles

Im always bouncing off down the road in first gear in the morning, but after a...

    172 MPG

    Yeah, i was going to say the same Moogwai, i seem to remember the manual saying that you could display the current MPG (over 15mph) as well as the average one (based on the time since last reset) but i cant get that to display either.

    Odd noise

    Had a similar noise when i first picked up my 172 a few weeks ago. The noise was from the let rear wheel when turning hard right (mainly noticed on small roundabouts). Im pretty sure it was some sort of rubbing because it was a regular noise and it got faster / slower with the speed of the car...
