I'm having a spot of bother getting my dealer to service my 172 as it says in the service schedule. During my 36000 mile service they did a standard Clio service and not a 172 one and so missed off changing the accessories belt and pulleys. I took it back and asked them to replace the...

Alright there peeps, My 172 is in for its 24K service and Ive just had a call from the garage to say that the rear discs are worn and badly lapped. The problem is that the car is 18 months old and according to the mechanic the pads are only 50% worn. Considering these are the pads that the...

On the boot floor of a 172 (probably most clios) there is an extra plate situated above where the exhaust should be. Is this plate a heat shield or some sort of sound insulation? Also, how important is it, as I assume Renault didnt put it there for a laugh.

Which number is the paint code on the plate found inside the drivers door. Reason I ask is that there was a paint defect on the inside of my iceberg 172 boot and spoiler. Renault offeered to respray the whole boot and spoiler but I said just give me a touch up pen and Ill do it my self (its...

I just had the tyres changed on my 172 as part of the recall (managed to get 10K on the old ones first, cher-ching). Anyway, it seems that where they have removed the old wheel balancing weights there are chunks taken out of the inside lip of the alloy rim. It looks like wherever there was a...

Hello, I am thinking about going to a track day but I really want to get insurance. I know a lot of people say its not worth it and theyre very safe places etc etc, but I really want to play it safe. The thing is I cant find many companies that do track cover. I tried Egger Lawson, who quoted...

Some ass clown has opened their door rather briskly into my drivers door. The paint is undamaged, but its left a sizable dent in the door. Its one of those dents that looks like it would pop back out. Whats the easiest way to get this fixed, and what sort of costs am I looking at. Thanking you

I went and curbed one of my Mk2 172 alloys today, which was nice. Its not major about a quarter of the outer rim is scuffed, but not deeply. Can anyone recommend me a good refurbishment company in the Sheffield area? It may only be minor but its just going to annoy me every time I see it...

Ok, has anybody noticed this on their 172? After braking and coming to a stop, release the foot brake (handbrake can be on or off) and there is a rapid rubbing/vibrating noise coming from the front passenger wheel. It sounds a bit like when you are on a slight slope and you partially take the...

Hello peeps, As some of you know I picked up our 172 a couple of weeks ago and it recently went in to have a few minor things corrected, namely the wonky steering wheel and the drivers seat height adjust fixed. While it was in I also asked them to look at the clutch as it was making a funny...

Hello everybody, I am new here so please be gentle. The wife and I have just bought a brand new 172. When we got it home I noticed a couple of minor oddities about it and I wondered if any one on here could put me straight on these things. We used to have the slightly older shape Clio, and...
