ah ha! yer right thx muchly! there was stupid idiot me trying to enter that code yesterday, only to reliease now how to enter it properly. So theres me thinking the one in the serivce book werent right. :oops: thansk again!

I suppose I should have said that i didnt actually buy the car from Renault, thats the problem :( Where is the code listed (if I was to have it). is it on a seperate credit card sized peice of plastic, or printed in any of the manuals?

ok silly question, but will renault be able to provide me with a code for my standard cd player? I have just relised that I dont think i was ever give the code when i bought my car, as I just replaced the standard HU in and now its wanting a code, and I cannot find it anywhere. or am i...

(reposted cuz of forum crash) Looks like Toyo are phasing out their Proxes T1-S tyre, with the new T1-R. Dont like the look of them, prefer the T1-S! http://www.toyo.co.uk/graphics/t1r_hi.jpg http://www.toyo.co.uk/index.php?fuseaction=car.t1-sT1-R info Maybe they will be a little bit...

hey all, I was just wondering what the development level on a turbo kit for the 172 now? I mean is it sold by anyone now or are companies still testing/in development? Only reason I ask is a mate saw a turbod cup this morning round evesham. defo turbod as he could here the dump valve, and...

Im with them too. Had an outstanding claim for 1 year now! but i dont think it is down to them, more like the third party insurers. Was pretty efficent with another claim I made. But yeah if you are wanting to mod, look somewhere else. they bump your premium quite a bit if you want to add...

I can agree mine is exactly the same. i always felt it was a problem, and a car should not be like it. but i have gotten used to it, but it does spoil the enjoyment of the car. I recently fitted some eibach lowering springs, which has certainly improved the handling but not totally removed...

Hi I can maybe answer number three for you! If its what i think it is, i had the same problem on my 172. it was a laquer finish, i.e lack of it. there where places all over the car that had a sort of rough sandpapery finish - took it to renault and they sorted it. i;m sure if the other...

I had my seat runners replaced 3 times by renault!!!! :@ The first time it was replaced, was even worse than it originally was :confused: It not perfect even now, but at least it wasnt as bad as it was before.... yes a trip to mr renault me thinks.....i thought about taking the seat or, but...

Yeah elephant seem to be cheap on quotes (standard car), but when it comes to modding the additional costs are pretty high. I was quoted £120 to lower my 172, and same amount on top each time for filter, zorst etc. so I wont be modding until I change to another insurance company who add...

lol I got that email too!. Thinking about it, what is the proven bhp increase of other filters such as the viper, BMC etc? Would be nice to know these figures if people have tested just the viper or BMC with no other mods. That way we could get a good idea of £s per bhp, and work out...

I find it different with the type of car too, let alone the insurance company. Had a saxo VTS, and it cost me £35 extra on my policy to fit an air filter, exhaust and lower it!!!! Now I have my 172, i asked how much it would be to to lower it and quoted £130!! They can feck right off. This...

No fair!!! :o i ordered Monday night on th web and they still havent arrived!!! :cry:

Nice to hear you finally got your ecu business sorted! been following your posts, as Im in exactly the same frame of mind too. shame the PE route wasnt as expected im not planning many mods, but like to know what my options are and what road to go down. Sound like you had good results...

I ordered 2 pairs of silvervision, so should get the blue vision side lights free too - hopefully arriving tomorrow. Ill post some pics if the difference on my car if peeps want, so we can see if i get the same results as above.

I know exactly how you feel mate. I had a knock on my near side wheel, and has never been right since. Maybe just in my head, but Ive had real problems with setting tracking, call pulling all over the place, well, something just not right. more like 182 Sports problem. I hope nothing is...

:)http://www.siroldvolks.dsl.pipex.com/myphotos/crash/front1.jpg That should make you feel a little better - new wing, zenon, bumper, bonnet needed. Done by some dappy wench running a red light AND it was only 6 days old from brand spanking new!!!! :( Sorry to hear mate :@ hoep you get it...

I would say yes have your alignment checked, epecally if it has been lowered. Try and find somewhere that checks the camber and caster measurements. That way you can see the current camber measurements. I think a usual amount for a road car is between about 0 - 0.5 degrees negative(?)...

Eeek £100.. ouch. Well got mine redone again - tis slightly better. Least the steering wheel is straight! I dont know whether the steering is still problematic, as I cant remember how it used to be. And dont have anything to compare it to New results...

Cheers guys. Least I knwo where to start looking. swapped the wheels over to eliminate that, and made no diff. Had at look at the NS susp area, but nothing obvious appeared noticably damaged. But at least I know what to look for, and in some sense hope I find something wrong! On a slightly...

certainly regards to the caster and camber, just the garages have had roughly the same results. Short while ago I had a knock on my NS wheel (i think someone reversed into it - but i was around to see - only assume) and since then, the steering has been crap. wanders all over the place. Bump...

Thanks Jay, In this case though mine doesnt drive ok, which is why Im trying to find out the problem, cuz i just cant figure out whats wrong! Do you knwo of anywhere where i could find out whats these figures should be as a rough guide? Ive been many places but no one has been able to...

Meant to say running more positive caster on one side, which is bad? SHouldnt these figures be roughly equal? questions questions :)

good to be able to compair. Would be nice to see the camber results before fitting the eibachs, that way we can tell what difference the drop does make to camber. I was looking at getting the same springs as yourself to improve handling, cuz im so fed up with how crap mine is! Not sure if a...

Hi all, Ok went to have my wheel alighment done YET AGAIN and it was way out, AGAIN - to try and sort out my bloody steering issues. Problem is I have been to different garages now, I dont know whos right or wrong. Now it feels even worse than before. :cry: ANyways, I got a print out of...

yup mine was sent off at the beginning of the week too :)

My claim is still ongoing too!. Some nice lady ran a red light in July last year, and took off the front end of my car. All got repaired, but my insurance company will not allow my NCB because it has not been settled. And still awaiting to claim back my excess. I have gotten into the realm...

Hi matey how goes things? Yeah Ive checked tyre pressures - normally run about 33 front, 30 back. Did them again today to make sure they were correct! Dont get any uneven tyre wear though. hmmm. oh I wish I could sort this prob! I keep taking it to renault, but they never bloody sort it...

Cheers - I can look into that. How was it diagnosed it was the ball joint? (mines only done 5k!). Did you by any chance have a rumbling sound coming from the side of the dodgy ball joint?

Hi all, This is just a follow on of steering problems I have been having with my car (following a minor accident last year) and no one is accepting responsibility of the problem. So Ive been trying to sort this myself. I went and had 4 wheel alignment recenly to check camber & castor etc...
