Hi all, The Forum tells me I havent been here since 6th Jan. Antisocial g*t, arent I? Overworked, underpaid ..... Anyway, I have a couple of questions for the 172 owners. When you pull your stalk (ooh err missus etc.etc) to flip between main and dip beam, does the stalk click? Mine...

This is a question about my runabout 95M 1.4RT. The wheels go out of balance every couple of months or so (tracking usually needs sorting too). Havent a clue why, hasnt been kerbed, run through potholes, the weights are still there. Any ideas?

I had the chance to try my 172 out around Oulton Park yesterday. I had no intention of taking it on the track but I owed someone a favour and that turned out to be a passenger ride .... Bear in mind that I hadnt prepped the car for the track and I was driving at around 80%, but my immediate...

This is a very basic question. Thought Id better familiarise myself with the underbonnet layout of my 172 (far better than the Braille-at-2am method). Is it me, or is the oil filler under the plastic shroud thingy? If so, to avoid the Halfords Shuffle, what size Torx socket do I need?

I think I have a problem with the throttle pedal/somewhere in the management system on my 172. The car has only done 800 miles, the problem developed after a couple of hundred. When cold (stone cold i.e. the first mile or so). The first few mm (past the usual bit of free play, that is) of...

Oh no, not Optimax again. I was thinking of putting together a Microsoft Autoroute map complete with the locations of all Optimax petrol stations. would this be of interest to anyone and, if so, which version of Autoroute are you using? Ill probably make the data available in other...

It rained on my MK2 172 for the first time yesterday, giving me a chance to try out the rain-sensitive wipers. What a pain. They seem to have a mind of their own, switching between intermittent and max speed without much regard to the amount of water on the screen. At one point I was at a...

Im the proud owner of a Silver MkII 172 (complete with even newer ding in the door - bug**r). 172s bought through UK Renault dealers come with Renault Assistance (i.e. AA recovery). Anyone know whether the same applies to cars bought elsewhere (e.g. car supermarkets)? I can tell you who...
