According to Which? the best thing to use to prevent this happening is the autoglym extra gloss protection stuff on top of your normal polish. Its got the best resistance to bird crap for up to 3 months.

Be careful! I cracked the windscreen doing this and I suspect this is also why a number of cars coming out from renault repair work suffered cracked screens soon after. Its very easy to catch the very bottom of the screen. I used a three way puller to remove the wiper arms, they were flippin...

Costco do the Mobil 0-40 for £25

The exalto 2 as fitted to the 182 are released on the 1st April

Hi, Does anyone know if you can get hold of these from anywhere yet? Ive tried searching online and cant seem to find anyone that sells them. Current F1s are well trashed with a nail in one of them and Id like to get hold of these Exaltos. Thanks.

Has anyone paid for a new clutch on a 172 yet? If so how much was it

I should of also said that it wasnt a massive change in performance, just didnt seem to be quite as free to rev. I noticed it even more as it was just before an evo meet in Wales.

After my first 12000 service the car was defo less responsive. I think this was due to them putting different oil to what had been put in at the factory. After another 6000 miles I changed the oil to mobil 1 and the extra responsiveness came back. Rob.

Ive heard quite a few stories of 172s rolling off with the handbrake on now. Mine is needing to be pulled pretty high to come on at the mo so me thinks its time to get it tightenend up! Rob.

Thats who I use too. Nice and cheap!

I got a foam pad from halfords which has a kind of string net on it, this shifts the things with hardly any effort at all.

Can you actually get Mobi 1 in that viscos?

Hi, Anyone know anywhere I can get hold of this cheaper than rip off halfords (£34). Need it tonight for a service tomorrow morning. Can I get away with just one 4L on a 172? Is there any other oil just as good but cheaper that I can get hold of? Cheers. Rob.

Hi, Those people who have had problems with their gearbox grinding going from 5th to 3rd or 2nd to 3rd. Does it actually make a grinding noise or is just feeling through the gearstick? I can feel (well what feels like) the cogs rotating through the stick when I change v.slowly when the...

I had this problem to with Renault Manchester. They insisted it was every 18000 miles and when I said Id had it serviced at 12000 they said it wasnt due another until 36000! Only after they called me back after checking properly the service intervals did they discover it was in fact every...

Just had mine at Renault Manchester. Would of cost £203 if they had been allowed to change the cabin air filter but I had that done at the last service and it only needs doing every other service. So that brought the price down to £165. Also told them not to touch the screen wash which saved...

I remember at the time the 172 came out in the magazines they said the cam thingy operated around 5500 rpm and then switched back to normal mode at around 6700 rpm. Ive still got the mags so Ill dig them out tonight for the exact info. They were quoting from renault press technical info I think...
