    Wierd starting problem...

    I have a wierd intermittent starting problem with my 172. Sometimes, when I try to start the car the engine turns over once and then everything dies (like the battery is totally dead) - all the lights on the dash go off (sometimes the speedo jumps up to about 40mph!). I then try again...

    Brakes Tick When Warm

    I can hear a regular ticking noise from the front drivers side wheel once I've used a brakes a few times - like something is catching or rubbing. The frequency of the ticking varies with speed and if I gently apply the brakes the noise stops until I release the brakes then it starts again. It...

    Think my tyre is screwed...

    ...what do you guys (and gals) think? Out for a bit of a Sunday morning blast, pulled into a car park and heard that "tap-tap-tap" noise you get when you have a stone in your tyre. Thought I'd hop out and take a look and found this little beauty stuck in my tyre :eek: I was in two minds...

    It may not be a PH-Quick but....

    ... this is taking the piss surely: How the heck did he manage to keep up all the way home from work:rasp: Left a right skanky mark when I pulled it off too - must have been holding on pretty tight.

    Snooper Indago questions...

    Here I go again! Does it have a qwerty keyboard? I've only seen pictures of it with an alphabetic one. Can it handle multi-stop trips? i.e. goto place A, then B, then C without having to stop at each place and reprogram it? or some kind of waypoint mode? And to those people who've got...

    Road Angel Navigator vs Snooper Indago

    So I bought a Road Angel Navigator a couple of months ago, and I've got to say I was a little dissapointed somehow. Nothing in particular, just seemed a bit clumsy. In the last week I've done 700+ miles with the thing up and down the country. It's given me numerous false camera alerts (30mph...

    172 Exhaust Prices....

    So, my Ph2 172 exhaust is blowing somewhere near the back. :mad: I can't tell where exactly and it's chucking it down so I'm not going to get soaked trying to find it! Can anyone tell me how much I should expect to have to pay to have it replaced? parts + labour. Also, any suggestions where...

    Two V6's !

    They're like busses! I hardly ever see any then two in one day.... A silver 51 plate Mk1 in Sainburys car park - the one at the end of the A420 in Swindon - parked next to you, but you were still there when I got back, so you probably didn't see me. And then about 5 mins later a Blue Mk2...

    Another thread about CV boot

    The big clip is missing - i.e. the one nearest the wheel on the drivers side. I've read all the other threads about grease it up and put a new clip on, so I'll get it into the garage next week and get it sorted - don't really fancy getting my hands dirty - and get them to check the CV joint at...

    I don't usually post Just Washed Pics...

    .. but I don't usually spend 4.5 hours cleaning the car either! :eek: Can't believe I spent so long - enjoy! :approve: Washed, followed by the Meguires treatment, paint cleaned, polished and waxed. I can see all the stone chips on my bonet now :rolleyes: Oh well, at least it is less swirly...

    Sat Nav - can you tell it where to go?

    eg: I want to go down the A1234 then the B5678 (because it's nice and twisty) then the M4 (to test my camera detector) or whatever and have it navigate for you ? I guess it probably depends on which you've got - I'm considering buying something like the Road Angel Naviator (or maybe a Snooper...

    36k Service Price Shock! (Reault dealer cheapest so far)

    Just been phoning round for prices to have: 36k Service (incl Aux belt) New rear brake pads for my 172. Renault in Bath want £413 Renault in Swindon want £460 And a Renault specialist in Swindon (non-dealer) want £511 I'm quite suprised really, that it is one of the dealers that is...

    Two Chassis Numbers?

    My Mum took her car in for an MOT before xmas and was told that it has two chassis numbers under the bonnet which differ by one digit ! The garage suggested that this might mean it is stolen or have a dodgy history and offered to look into it. They now want her to take in her registration...

    Digital freeview TV in Swindon - Anyone got it?

    As the title really. Anyone got freeview through an ariel? My TV reception is piss poor. Can't even get Five at the minute, and I've been thinking about going digital for a while, buying a new TV, digital kit, maybe a media center, but I don't see the point unless I can go digital Don't want...

    Rear Discs and Pads...

    Was told at my MOT that my rear discs and pads are 75% worn. Was just wondering roughly how long it might be before I should think about replacing them. I don't particularly hammer my brakes and try not to slam them on unless really necessary. I've no idea how long they've lasted so far as...

    ECU - what is it? / what does it do?

    Following on from my previous thread http://cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=98688 about dodgy electrics (drivers window, wipers, SERV light) I've been told that I need a new ECU, but I'll have to take it back later in the week as they need both keys so they can recode them :dapprove: I...

    Serv light, windscreen wipers, and electric window failure...

    Sorry, this is a bit of an essay! Basically, I think my drivers side electric window has packed up or is about to (goes down but not up!). As my car is nearly out of warranty I'd like to get this sorted quick, but I think it might be an intermittant problem, and by the time I get to Renault on...

    Imports - where did it come from?

    My insurance company want to know where my car was imported from. I've haven't got a frikkin clue as it wasn't me who imported it! How can I find out? Will Renault know?

    How to look after a steering wheel?

    Ok, so the leather on my steering wheel had started peeling just next to the thumb grip bits on both sides so I took it into Renault and they are going to replace it under warranty :D -I was all ready to argue my case, but no need, just a "yep, we'll replace it" - I'm impressed. I'm quite...

    Serv Light and Windscreen wipers!

    As I drove out of the car park tonight, the Serv light on my 172 came on. "Odd" I thought, as its not due a service for another 6 months / 6000 miles. I flicked the windscreen wiper switch from "off" to "auto" to make them wipe once as I normally do and nothing happened :confused: Flicked it...
