I can't help but smile, bought my flying machine, then got told it had a Group N ecu (A wot??), cambelt broke after 40 miles, got it fixed (and the rest), now I'm told the big end (THE wot??) is buggered (and the car WAS for sale.) Apart from that, car is in first class condition inside and...

It's the actual Renault handbook / manual that I'm after, not something like a Haynes repair book.

Has anyone got for sale, or knows where I can get an owners manual for an 02 reg. I've got one in Dutch if anyone wants to learn the language and fancies a swap. Cheers p.s. now loving my 172 despite initial problems.:D

:(:( :( What can I say - done 40 miles in my 02 172 and it's now very, very poorly in the garage. Just paid for what looked like a mint and very well looked after example, driving it home from Warrington to Leeds, got about 40 miles down the M62 and the engine died and more lights were...
