How can it not be a full kit? 4 shocks.. 4 Springs... Just saw this.. Could be a good upgraded to my standard mk1 172

Thanks heaps people :-)

Yes.. Check the rear shocks. This is what is wrong with my 172.. rears are gone on mine, and this is how the car behaves (assuming tyre pressures are all ok)

Ok cool. thanks heaps. So yes, I have the question now to just get the standard set from renault or go uprated. Guess if going uprated, i'll be lowering it with eibiach springs. Are the rear springs difficult todo at the same time?

Is there a guide on replacing the rear shocks on a Mk1 172? Would seem like a simple job for ones self todo rather than paying a mechanic.. Thanks.

I've had GSD3s on my 172 and quite frankly think they are shite.

YES! Odyssey blue is the best colour ;-)

I have a Mk1 172, thats just shy of 100,000kms. Its about to be sold, so i will be "renault-less" :-(

Mines currently got 94,000kms on it.. Still going strong

Someone Ive contacted out here in Aus uses a Thule Freeway 968 on their 172. Says works fine. Price isnt too bad also. Hopefully check it out tomorrow

Hi Ally, Since Im in australia, would probably cost to much to ship here ;-) But thanks for giving me some ideas to look at. Will do some running around this weekend Mark

Loking for a hatch mounted bike rack to fit both a MK1 172 and a megane 225.. Recommendations?

11kms on my 172 when delivered from the dealer here in aus

-12 last year up in the snow

Go for the 182 in Inferno. looks sweet as :-) Getting my Megane 225 in Jan in that colour. Lovely

SOO, thats why everything looks strange driving my car.... Its upside down!! :-)

I have a 2001 OZ 172. Never have experienced the cold start issue, but I have heard others with the same complaint. Few people on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Oz_Clio_Sportyahoo forum come to mind... BUT, I believe if you wait until you hear the fuel pump prime, then start the car, should not...

what problems? Just got back from seeing one (ooooo love the orange) *speaks to bank manager*

With my current MK1 172 coming near to end of warrant (got 83,000kms on it), have to decide if 1) keep the car, 2) get a 182 or 3) Get a Megane 225.... Hrmmm.. decissions :confused:

Just did this on my MK1.. But had the lenses and bulb holders, so just had to change this pins on the plugs. I looked at it if the MK1 buld holders would fit the MK2 lenses, but looked as if theyd need gluing on or something like that

Notice most of those reviews all relate to a kenwood unit.... Seen plenty of good reviews in cars like BMWs, Audis etc. Im just source a palce that will ship one of these o/s for my 172 Mk1

Guess you could just remove teh headunit to find out for sure... Keep me posted on how it goes (As 1) havent found a place to ship a kit O/S and 2) funds right now)

The other thing with the FM transmitter, cannot control the ipod from the steering wheel controls.. also, does charge while plugged into the car as it does with the ice-link

Now i just have to find a company that ships internationally :)

common.. someone has to know about this considering its been discussed alot :-)

Some later model MK1s have dual senors... one before and one after the cat

This seems to be a common problem with the 172s.. Water leaking into the spare wheel area. About a year ago, I supposidly had this fixed by the dealer here, but today when i was having the car down at the tyre place for some tyres, it is all wet in there again. Did renault ever acknowledge this...

Max172cup: has your mate got the icelink in his cooper S yet?

Thanks muchly

Speaking of this, can someone email a scan of the technote for the alignment on a MK1 172?
