Glad im not the only one!

Ta guys.

Cheers Rich, something else to play with now!!

Silly question but someone please tell me how to operate the headlight washers on my 02(02) 172. I dont know if im just missing something here or if mine are just broke. Cheers all.

I got the 17's for the simple fact they are valued at £900... which I would imagine is more than a set of standard 172 rims. If I want to go smaller then I can simply sell the 17's make a few £'s and invest in a factory set-up but at the mo I've only driven the 172 with 17's and I love it...

Yes mate thats the one. Had so much trouble with them! Am happier now though as when I pick her up monday she will be like new again. Even though its been a pain and alot of fighting I've come out of it far better than they have!

Been having massive rows with my local Renault dealer since I bought my 02(02) 172. Basically they sold it to me with lots wrong ie. buckled alloys and naff brakes. I've eventaully sorted it so they are paying for everything including a brand new set of 17" OZ Superturismo GT's with Faulken ZE...

Hi all, in desperate need of some alloy advice and ideally pics to show me what your ideal wheels look like on an 02(02) 172. I need to sort the rims out buy 1pm or I will be without my car for another week. Thanks all swanee

Hi all, Need some advice on what 17" tyres to get for my 172? Im getting new OZ Superleggeras and I need a decent tyre that will jelp inside rubbing. I've heard good things about Faulken who apparently do a tyre that has a rounded tyre that helps prevent rubbing. Anyone know what model...

They are replacing the 2 buckled alloys with a brand new set of 4.

Surely 17" OZ Superlegerra's are are worth more than the standard Factory 172 rims?

Im getting 4 brand new OZ alloys with brand new tyres worth £850. I think thats a pretty good deal by anyones standards, as for the trophy's and turnis they would only give me the factory 172's, I did try.

Been fighting with the dealer all day. They said they were going to take the car back and refund all my money. I said no and if they didn't uphold their promise I would seek legal advice, take it to the local rags and contact the FSA, TMI, SMTA and the FBI!! well maybe not the FBI but the rest I...

Has anyone got any pics? Its silver cat171

Oh bugger... didnt realise they wouldn't fit! Dont suppose anyone can tell me how much I could get for a new set of factory 172 alloys with new tyres?

This may be a solution to my alloy problem with the dealer... I bought the car with 17" OZ Superleggeras on and now they have told me 2 are buckled so Im trying to get a new set of alloys off them. They say they will replace with factory 172 rims but I said no. Just wondered if anyone has 197's...

At the end of the day the cars got a 12mth warranty so I feel im covered plus they are fixing everything and paying for a new set of alloys and tyres so Im happy, just annoyed that this wasn't done before I bought it!! I reckon I wont get it back until end of next week though!!

Picked up my 172 from my local dealer last Tuesday BUT had to take it back today as they hadn't sorted the new MOT or PSI checked it. I was told the car was tip-top and should sail through. Got a call at noon telling me it had failed!!! When I got there it had falied on the following: Offside...

£150 petrol bill per week, thats why. The MR2 Turbo was an amazing car but expensive to run. The Clio is newer and goes well too :)

Cheers guys! I will get some pics tonight if its not dark before I get home. I'll keep a look out for ya Millerlight my plate ends in GUE at the mo but will be P7ORN soon ;)

Picked up my 172 last night and love it already!! My last car was an MR2 Turbo so a bit different but great car!! :D

Anyone?

Hi all, Anyone know where I can get x4 OZ Superleggeras centre caps? I need them for a set of 17's... not sure what dimensions I need so if anyone could let me know that wuold be nice :cool: Cheers swanee

Can anyone recommend any decent clear side repeaters for my soon to be 172? Seen some on ebay for approx £15 incl postage but also seen the ones on Ktec for £27 approx, is there much difference?

Signed on the dotted line today and im picking her up on Monday after they do the cambelt!!!! Can't wait!!!!

Im borrowing £5,000 and the settlement will be £4,850 in 3mths time, I pay nothing until then as the dealer pays the purchase fee and the first 3mths installments, I then settle the finance with my aliance and leicester loan so im £150 better off and have nothing to pay for 3mths. I also get...

Thanks for the advice guys. They have now agreed to change the cambelt, give it a full service, re-furb the alloys, spray the scraps and chips, give me 6mths tax and 12mth warranty. To be honest Im pretty happy considering I've seen loads on autotrader and pistonheads for £6200 and they have...

Hi all, just wondering if anyone can tell me if an 02(02) Clio 172 Sport comes with any security fitted as standard ie. Thatcham Cat 2 immobiliser? Cheers swanee

Would do mate but haven't seen any 172's that I like for that money on here unless I've missed some :(

Thanks guys, I already have a loan with aliance and leicester and they said I could top it up at my old rate which is 5.9% APR. I just really want to know if firstly the deal is worth it and secondly if I do go down their finance route and then settle after 3mths with my aliance & leicester loan...
