I thought it was strapped to the boot door itself, not the car.

Thanks for all your replys lads. This might be a stupid question, but, lol, how can't you get into your boot with the paddy hopkirk high rise carrier? Is it just the weight of the bike or something else, thanks, Chris.

Hi there everyone, can anyone tell me which cycle carrier i can use on my 04 reg 172, any make or model, preferably a boot carrier high rise? Cheers, Chris.

I think they are for your air conditioning, there is a fan inside which has something to do with the a/c, temperature etc.

Hiya, I doubt it will sort itself out, had mine replaced under warranty last month, it could be the ball inside the washer jet, only way to fix that is to replace it i think, unless its the pipe itself has came loose, they are only about £10 to buy new, but take it in to garage and get it done...

Thanks lads, I fixed it this morning, the switch on top of the pedal had came loose, fitted it back into its position and works fine now, although there may seem like there is some sort of clip missing to keep it in place!

Which is the best? I suppose one has a better protection than the other and one has a better finished look than the other? I've never used either, but just bought some megs clay at the weekend and wanted to do the whole thing, unfortuantely never got to use the clay as its been to hot up here...

Hiya peeps, noticed tonight when driving that my brake lights along with spolier brake light is permantly on, got home switched off ignition, lights went out, switched back on again and brake lights still on, also front sidelights did not come on, i have them on automatic, worked ok when i put...

Hiya guys and gurls, wondering if its anything to worry about! Pulled out of a junction yesterday pretty quicky and heard the wheels spin, (was driving with my esp on), 2 minutes later was looking at dash and noticed the 2 lights were on, serv and esp. Drove for 20 mins like this then pulled...

Hi there, I would tell her to check every single car in the car park tomorrow and to find out who is not in work or which car has not came in, likely they may keep it at home or take it to garage to get fixed.

The new dash computer is already in fred. The trip milage and everything was resetting, only thing that worked properly was the total milage. It reset everytime i started the car, only in the winter that seemed to happen though, summertime seemed fine. He said they have sent my old one to ren uk...

Just an update if anyone is interested! Managed to get to see the managers manager (operations manger) at benefield road wallesend today. He said he would get a guy in to sort my scratches out, would have another look at my gear linkage and hopefully get my alarm sorted. The service manager from...

Hiya, can you explain please what the base map is and how it affects the car? Cheers, Chris.

Hiya, i have a de-cat on mine with both sensors disconnected, since getting a new trip computer fitted the emmision light has came on, it was never on before and the car seems to be going through more fuel than normal. If i was to connect both my sensors back on, what possible harm could it do...

I just had a new dash clock etc thing put in mine the other week, so far, its working, mine was always resetting itself in the winter, come summer, it usually always worked fine, by the way, this was done under warranty. mine always ticked for a second or two like tom cups did. They do come with...

Damn, so then where do i put my sat nav? On my side window.

Hi polar, i asked them what they put in there, they said they think it was 10-40, obviously the mechanic didnt know it was the wrong oil, otherwise im sure he would have said, so i then said, you do know its supposed to be 5-40. Hi debz, yeah, im definately taking it further, waiting for a...

Hiya everyone, this may be a stupid question, lol, but do they work ok through the 172 heat reflective front screens? Cheers, Chris.

Hiya. Got my new gear linkage on yesterday, its all nice and neat underneath now, but, still having a few problems getting it in 4th and now 1st, although that was yesterday when he told me to take it for a test drive, seemed ok today, although never went very far. The main reason why it was...

Sorry to hear about your problems too heli, its ridiculous the amount of time they had your car for. Well, i got to see both managers today, was a waste of time, bunch of arseholes. He said he would repair all the damage, but i said there was no way in this world he was getting his hands on my...

Hiya everyone. Finally get to meet the service manager today, the manager was at another meeting, funny aint it. Apparently, its the first he has heard of my complaints. He tells me, he said no such thing to the guy from renault uk about not letting me and my car back to his garage. Anyway, he...

I have a meeting with the service manager and the manager of the garage tomorrow morning. I phoned the benfield head office to ask what they were going to do for me and as a result a meeting tomorrow. Should i ask for money compensation for the scratches they have added to the bodywork, as there...

Cheers doc, I thought they could, but they are telling me that they cant. Any idea on how much they charge? And surely, this should be done free of charge as the light was not on there before. But, i know they will turn around and say that my sensors are disconnected and its my fault. So even...

Hiya everyone again. Can you tell me if a renault qualified technition can only work on my car, i.e. sump gasket repair, leading to gear linkage etc and new dash fitting. My car is a 172. Or can any mechanic work on it? Im sure i read that only a 172/182 renault sport techy/mechanic can work on...

Hiya everyone, can you tell me if a reanult garage can erase this light off the dash? I do have a decat on and both my sensors are disconnected, but they have installed a new dash computer and it has came on. The light has NEVER been on before. Just wanting to know if they can switch the light...

What sort of compensation would you ask for?, I obviously wont ever be taking my car back there again, so its not like i want another 2 years free servicing or anything. Chris

Hiya everyone, thanks for all your replys. I have phoned up the trading standards, will also be phoning others aswell. I've managed to book the car into another garage, they said they couldnt believe what they had done and didnt even know how my car managed to change gear at all...

Cheers Fred.

Hi there Jim, I'd seriously consider taking it somewhere else in the future. Here is the update; after waiting patienly for mr service manager to ring me (he doesnt) i decide to go along to see him, he is apparently in a meeting, so i see one of the top techs in there along with fag (fat...

I spotted the gear linkage, plastic engine cover and the engine management light, told them about it and they werent interested. Unfortunately, i didnt have time as i was supposed to be at work. Phoned up the customer services today to tell them everything, she said she was gonna ring the...
