Have just received my V5 & likewise mine also shows engine no: NK (Mines also an import). There are some numbers embossed in the lower half of the engine block sort of to the upper right area to the oil dipstick but have no idea whether this is the engine number or not. There is also a code...

Spookily enough I was just literally about to post the same problem. I have covered just over 1K & if you boot it in 2nd it sticks until the revs drop!!! I hope it loosens up else yet another trip to the dealer!!

Never use dealers for finance as generally theyre a rip off. When I went to buy my motor the dealer tried selling me an extortionate fianance deal. When I asked him for the APR he tried to fob me off with the flat rate. When I asked for the APR,; he said he didnt know. I didnt actually say but...

Steve, Check your inbox for reply. Cheers buddy

If Renault UK were advised & the garage that supplied your motor is a franchised Renault garage they would be well in the sh*t. Despite EU legislation the manufacturers still hold the cards & would probably threaten the garage with removal of their franchise. Alright that may not help you in...

So it is possible that they could have fallen or been blown out & not necessarily nicked. Anyway, success as I phoned Renault garage today... "Hello my balls have some how fallen out of my headlight washers!!!" A "How old is you car sir?" "2 Weeks" A "No problem its covered under...

Im having a really bad week!! First of all I discover a dent to my door which has now been fixed. Today I discover that either some a**hole has either nicked the ball from each of the headlight washers or they have somehow blown out. Can you buy just the ball or have you got to buy the whole...

Car goes in tomorrow to hopefully have a paintless removal of the dent. It is right above the drivers door handle about an inch in length. Any members had any similar damage repaired?? I suppose im a bit concerned theyre going to wreck more door panel or make it even worse!!

On the bright side only have another 200 miles to go before I can floor it. As soon as that speedo reads 625 miles Im off!!!

Went to me motor today & saw a f*rkin dent just above the drivers door handle. Its barely 2 weeks old & Im well pissed off!!!! I cant prove it, but I think it may have been there when I bought it, but missed it. Although it can only be seen from a sideways angle, Im well annoyed cos its so...

Yep, My old man has an inspection pit in his garage, I could try jacking it up & lowering on to same wooden blocked axle stands.

Cheers Brun, I wanted to keep the old one in case the garage got funny about warranty work, then I could pop the old one back on.

Brun, If I want to keep the old one will I have to drop the beam down to keep it one piece?

I am going to order a K-Tec K2 next week. If I want to remove the old one in one piece, I understand the rear beam has to be dropped down. Does it follow then that to fit a K-Tec you have to drop the beam down in any case? Is there anyone with photos of the MK2 172 exhaust system? Is it an easy...

I believe so, just write to Renault UK & they will send you a letter asking for the above.

I have a week & a half old 172. I have the same symptoms when starting from cold.

Do Magnex make a cat back Twin 3" round which would fit a MK2?

Is the magnex a cat back or is it a sawing job?

If anyone is contemplating buying a EU import 172 or already has one & is toying whether to buy an alarm, I have just had a Sigma M32 fitted. Renault used the Sigma alarms on some of the Mark 1 172s. I am well pleased with the system which has now made the security status to a thatcham cat 1...

Having just picked up my new 172 on 1st Sept 2003, I was eager to get a new exhaust to make it stand out from the crowd. I set out to buy a twin 3" Magnex. I know a number of members have this particular exhaust with no problems. I rang Demon-Tweeks spoke to the exhaust guy who said it wasnt...

If it looks even remotely like that Renault can kiss my ass goodbye. Minging is an understatement, looks like a cheap piece of crap like a Kia or something. I suppose there is always the Megane RS.

Sorry Griff I am a fairly new member & wouldnt have known if it wasnt for other members postings. I have deleted topic, but in summary write to Renault UK customer services (cost 28p for a stamp), who will provide 3 years warranty as long as your able to provide the sales invoice, inside page of...

Guys, I know you can pick up a 172 chrome badge by ordering one for a cup, but does anyone know if a larger version can be bought (Same size as the rear badges)? I have seen Maxd Ford Escorts around with chrome letters & numbers on the back.

Guys, any probs with ground clearance when going over speed bumps ramps in car parks etc??

The sales guy who also had a 172 recommended not to thrash the motor until I reached 2000 miles. I dont know if I can wait that long, the cars a beast!!! I recall that about 3 years ago my old man bought a MK1 172 when I had a 200bhp Volvo T4. The 172 felt a lot quicker & obviously held the road...

Yeah right 172...I wish!!! Thats the exact exhaust I plan to get & it really looks the part. Have you had any probs with the heat causing damage to the bumper? I know you can get a bolt effect heat shield from Demon-Tweeks.

Hi Guys, Picked up a new 172 today & am well pleased!! Does anyone know if fitting a magnex really does improve performance or not? Ill probably still get one regardless, but am just interested if it has any effect on BHP or 0-60, although I suspect itll be a miniscule amount of difference.

Scotty 16V I went with Tescos as they were by far the cheapest £452 for 31 year old male in Cornwall. I pick the motor up on Monday & was going to add the exhaust to make it stand out from the crowd. I would of thought that even an extra £77 a year for having an exhaust, that Tescos would still...
