Oh dear!...my 6 week old 172 is in having its air-con sorted out (it works a little bit, some days) and they need it for 48 hours...in the mean time they have given me a nice blue Cup with 1500 miles on it to play with. "The cars 80 kilos lighter Sir so is a bit nippier" the salesman said...

New 172 (well one month old now)....this morning after my drive to work (15 mins) my air-con/CC had failed to demist my windows....have already taken it back once to get re-gassed but seems now weak at best...if not non-existent. How do you know if your air-con is working or not? How long...

How can you tell if it is working?, drove to work tonight in my new 172 and the inside screens staid misty for most of the duration of the journey, is this the only way to tell if air-con/CC is working?...even on mini the air didnt seem particularly cold?

Just picked up my spankin new 172 today! yaay!....a BIG difference to my outgoing but excellent 1.5dci! Boy that spare wheel and tool kit weigh a ton!, glad they are now in my spare bedroom cupboard ;) some lightweight alloys for my new baby I think. Only one problem I have seems to be the...

Not if they are stationary in a car park with nobody in them of course (youd be joining Frank Bruno at the funny farm if you did that!) but if you see another one do you flash or wave?

Am looking to get a nice sounding ICE install in my newly arriving 172, have in the past had a good relationship with Rockford Fosgate amps...so will probably continue with that and some Alpine speakers, but is it worth uprating the standard head unit?...will you actually hear any...

Yaay! for Fernando Alonso!!...nice to see Renault stuffing Ferrari! http://f1.racing-live.com/en/index.htmlhttp://f1.racing-live.com/en/index.html

Am looking at some Team Dynamics Pro Race 2s in a 16" silver for a 172. They seem well light at just 6.2kgs...anyone know what weight the standard wheels are?...anyone use wheels like these or similar...

http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1026http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1026 I have heard the standard brakes on the 172 are pretty damn good....so is it worth spending £800+ on this kit?...will there be a dramatic difference do you think?

Looking to get my dealer put standard Cup wheel/tyre combo on my new 172..... Any technical disadvantages to this or are they all the same size? Any idea what the charge will be?...they are dithering over price!

When leaving your car?..usually when touching the door?...grrrr!!!!...the static strip I fitted from Halfords was crap. Is it something to do with the naff nylon floor matts?

Still learning about how difficult it is to modify 172s but keep hearing about "group N" products which produce great results...where can these items be obtained from?..do they invalidate your Renault warrenty or are they approved by Renault?..is there a website that offers these products/fits them?

The bog standard wheels on the 172 look a bit yucky...will 17" wheels be detrimental to the cars handling in any way? I note the K-Tech Brembo 305x28 brake upgrade will only fit with 17" wheels so this in part is also my reason to upgrade.

Just ordered a new 172 today! :D and am already thinking modifications! Do Renault like many other car manufacturers have a recognized outlet that will not invalidate the warrenty? Thinking along the lines of exhaust,induction,ECU re-map. If not any recommendations as to who...
