Hello guys, wondered if I could get some advice please? I'm undecided whether or not to scrap my 172 (2002, 85k). My circumstances have changed recently and I'm now living on a single wage and having to travel further to work. However, the 172 has thrown some spanners in the works with a few...

Thanks mate, is that a whole new driveshaft replacement then?

Hi guys, 172 broken again!!! It's making a loud clicking noise when pulling away, light braking & turning. Sounds like it's coming from the front right somewhere. Any ideas about what's wrong with it please?

Hi guys, 172 is running lumpy on idle, can really smell fuel. When driving & accelerating, no power & car judders. Having trouble starting it intermittently too, having to tap the solenoid to get her going. I'm thinking coil pack has gone? It's got new sparks & alternator, & the Tdc & updated...

Cheers mate, got a crowbar on it in the end! Turns out it was one of the seals had gone...

Hello guys, as per a recent thread, I need to change the brake fluid header tank on my 172. Does the tank just pull out from the rubber grommets on the master cylinder or is there more to it? Thanks in advance

Is new or used mate?

Thanks mate, I'll be in touch after work

Thanks mate, is it best to replace both as a whole then? Where abouts are you posting from? anks

Cheers! Had a mechanic have a quick look, reckons the header tank needs replacing?

Hi guys, got another RenaultSport 172 after 4 years without one! Love it! However, it's dropping brake fluid from the front drivers side? Keep topping the fluid up, but it seems to be low (usual brake light warnings), looks to be dripping from the fluid reservoir & on to the subframe? Any ideas...

Thanks, just had it looked at and it's the crank sensor. Thanks again!

Hello, wonder if anybody can help please? my 172 keeps cutting out when driving and it won't restart. However, if I leave it 10 minutes or so, it starts first time and runs fine. It'll then be fine for a week or so, starting first time, etc, until it happens again. Called the AA and they did a...

could be the baffles in the back box are gone or exhaust hitting the heat shield?

hello, i've posted this before, but had no reply. worth a try again... sidelights on my 172 don't work. dash illuminates when i turn the sidelights on, but nothing outside. xenons, full beams and fogs work fine though. the driver side went first, then came back on for a while, and then both...

hello, sidelights on my 172 have stopped working. mike at rentech had a quick look when i had it serviced the other day, but couldn't find out why they won't work, but says it's not the bulbs. he says it might a faulty connection or wire somewhere. anybdy have similar problems or any ideas...
