I had that or some kind of belt about 2 months ago...I was on my way back from Chester with a mate (on a private road!?) and did 130, just to see how it went.
The next day some belt started making a funny noise but was fixed under warrenty - not the cam/timing belt but I think they said...
Mines got an external warranty, not the manufactirer one.
It needs an oil service every 6k or 6 months to keep it valid.
The service was all filters including pollen, but I didnt have an air filter as its got a K&N.
George Rhodes and Sons in Biddulph, where I live - about 15 miles from Stoke.
It has been a Renault garage since the year dot but went independant when they fell out about 2 years ago. They wanted to expand but Renault didnt want them too. So they Rhodes packed in the dealership and went on...
cheers fella, last oil service i ended up paying the garage £36 for the oil they used!
They said they used mobil1, hence the price - but i reckon they use any old sh*t as they know it will be back in 6 months for another service!
Evening all, my mk2 172 is going in for an oil service and I jest need to know whats the best oil to use...its an 02 plate with 31k on the clock.
cheers folks!

Always get people flashing as the lights are that little bit brighter - they soon stop when I put my main beem on just to show them it wasnt on in the first place....
Cheers for the comments...as Im sure youve guessed there aint no rust on my 172 as the post was a bit of a laugh...
(actually I nicked it from someone on SSC) :oops:
I need some advice on what could be a life changing decision.
Ive suspected for some time now that my girlfriend has been having an affair. The usual signs. Phone rings, I answer, someone hangs up. She started going out with the girls a lot recently although when I ask which girls it is always...
LAD are the laughing stock of most forums you go on - they invented the "chip, filter and zorst" which made 40bhp on every motor they tuned
A load of b****cks.
I agree - a good tyre, Yokos are a bit too soft I think.
My last Contis did 8k, I thought that that was bad until I spoke to others who have gone through them quicker!
Even though I dont use them, the back seat in a 172 beats the sh*t out of the poxy bench in a cup.
And I like my buttons instead of a knob for the air vents......
Same thing on my mk2 172 after owning the car for 2 months - it was 12 months old when I bought it.
Said I needed a new centr pipe which was £200.
Needless to say I now have a 6x4 magnex that looks and sounds the bollox and has a lifetime warrenty. All paid for by the garage where I had the...
Im with Direct Line and have always found them to be a very competitive bunch - I paid £700 fully comp with 4 protected ncb when i was 24 last year.
I have since had an accident involving a badger (R.I.P) and had to claim and pay my £300 excess. Im supposed to be allowed one claim without my...
