Hi Sneeks
I too found out that mine was a Netherlands import today and i have only had the car for over a week. I went back to the dealership and advised them that i had taken advice from trading standards that technically they should know fully about the car and its origins and that i wanted...
Just heard back from the dealer that they will pay for the Alarm to be fitted. So will call Renault and get it booked in. I guess im pretty lucky, although they didnt really have a leg to stand on. Also the fact that my wife is a nutter when something isnt right also helped i guess.
Hi all
I originally posted this thread, and just wanted to let you know that the HPI check that i picked up last night stated it was not an import, I called Renault Uk today and it is imported from the Netherlands (how does that work). So had to call my insurance company and basically i will...
How complicated. despite this I love the car and it is absoultly mint, interior and exterior is almost unmarked it has low mileage, full renault service history, 2 years warranty and essentially i bought it for what it is. Not what it is worth when i come to sell it. Ive looked at lots of cars...
Well im picking up a copy of the HPI check tonight. The dealer i bought it from is a well known dealership around the country so i guess i will have to wait and see. He did go through the HPI check with me over the phone and i was almost convinced. Im guessing that by law he cannot forge this...
Thanks guys
My 172 is a phase 2, it doesnt have the national security register stickers on it. or any of the Alarm lights and i havent got a locking wheel nut key. But as i mentioned earlier the dealer has a copy of the HPI check stating it is not an import.
What do you think
Well I looked through a few of the threads on CS and was concerned as i didnt have the small light down near the gearstick. i dont recall having window etching etc. But i have called the dealer who has a copy of the HPI check that states it is not an import. So im guessing it must have the alarm?
Just bought a 172, and have only just realised that it is an import. Didnt mention this to my insurance company. The one thing im concerned about is that it may not have the CAT1 alarm on it. I dont have a flashing LED near the Gearstick but do have one in between the middle of the dials. Does...
Thanks for your help. will have a look. I dont recall seing a flashing LED only on the dash when locking so im assuming that it must be an import, also not sure about the locking wheel nuts. will take a look later.
Will take a look at the philips bulbs if they are only £5. Does anyone know...
Im new to the forum and have recently purchased a 172 Sport. Love the car, definatley more than I expected. Sometimes it seems really quick, other times it takes a while to liven up, but overall is excellent. The only problem i have with it is that I dont have a manual for it. So was wondering...
