Nice one, going into Rentech next week for a service so will get them to have a look!
Girlfriend wud be a high pitched, highly annoying whining noise!!
Yep, was the battery!!, apparently the reason it wouldn't jump start was because i was using leads and you can only jump start cars with immobilisers with battery packs!!
Cheers guys hope it is the battery, will let you know!! The headlights were working when i tried them tho, would'nt expect that if it was the battery????
Got a 51 plate 172, drove it sat was fine, went to start it sunday and turned the ignition and jus got a clonking sort of sound!! rev counter and speedo jumping, and a sort of chattering noise!!
Then went to lock it and the key wouldnt work, got spare key that did work but still not starting...
Mine had the exact same noise when selecting first, then on fri evening was in traffic on the m3 on my way to bournemouth i pulled away in 1st lost drive and heard a crunch, was the thrust bearing on the clutch!! Phoning round 2day and renault want £840!!! for a new clutch to supply and fit...
