Hi all, long time no post. Just wondered if anyone can help me with what I hope is a rather simple problem. I'm having a problem with the brake lights on my clio (mk2, phase 2), here's what happens (I hope it makes sense!). With my headlights off: I brake and all three brake lights come...

Just had my 24k service done on my 172 and luckliy nothing needed doing so it "only" cost me £212. Thing is according to the service report my front tyres have 7mm tread left, rear 8mm tread left and the spare 8mm. Only problem is my spare tyre is actually one of my old front ones and I know...

I got my renewal quote through from Direct Line this morning and was very please to see it had gone down by almost £200 quid from last year. Even so Ive just phoned a few other companies up to make sure Im getting a good deal. What I dont understand is why my Direct Line quote is so much cheaper...

http://members.lycos.co.uk/jstratton/scratch.jpg This is now the third f**king time in 9 months and theyve done it good and proper this time, down all three panels on the drivers side! What the hell is wrong with people in this country that you cant park your own car outside your own house...

Ive just taken my mk2 172 in for its 12,000 service and they asked if I wanted an Emission Control Service" at the same time for an extra £24.99. Because Im so strapped for cash at the moment I said no but may have it done in the future. What do people reckon, is it worth having done? Has anyone...

My 172 is fast approaching its first service and I was just wondering if anyone could tell me roughly how much I should be looking at paying (if all goes well). I was going to phone a few Renault dealers anyway ang get a couple of written quotes but it would be good to have idea in my head...

Just to let anyone whos interested know that theres a new Renault dealership opening in the Spring on Hadyn Road in Nottingham, just next to the Citroen garage. Luckily this should be just in time for my first service, and it means I wont have to take it to the muppets at the other Renault garage.

For the last few days when I get in my Clio in the morning the radio is turned off and I have to switch it on. The thing is though I never turn it off. Dont get me wrong Im not complaining about the extra effort involved, but has this happened to anyone else. Either it happens when its damn...

About two weeks ago I posted to say that some little b*stard had keyed my 172 outside my house, and its happened again last night. To make things worse I saw the little tw*ts do it this time and they were about 11 years old. I mean, what the hell can I do??? If I catch the kids and threaten...

Some jealous b*****d decided to scrape a key down the side of my 172 whilst it was parked outside my house last night. The scratch has is about 2 foot long and has gone through to the metal in a couple of places. As this has never happened before what do you suggest I do? I would preferably like...

When I hit about 75/80mph in my Clio, an annoying rattle starts up from within the dashboard. Ive tried to find the source of the rattle myself but with no luck. I was just wondering if people think its worth taking my car down to the garage to get it fixed under warranty? Has anyone else had...

Youll have to excuse my lack of knowledge when it comes to this sort of thing but here I go anyway. Ive done 3800 miles in my 172 from new and it is now telling me it is out of oil and the serv light is on. Is this normal? Ive been driving it pretty hard and if possible I dont want to take it to...
