Hmmm, as it's a company car I'm going to have to fit a standard unit. Can't beleive I'm going to have to put up with this racket till Wednesday. Seems the car is too "new" for Renault to hold spares, and too "old" for the other exhaust places to have pattern parts. I've rung about 10 places...

oh and prices...... £343.85 for the front section £184.70 for the mid section £99.75 for the back box. all plus VAT!!!

Mine broke last night, 2.5 years old and change short of 60,000 miles on the clock. Renault can't get me an exhaust till Wednesday next week. Renault service is shocking and I am glad my car is up for renewal in 6 months. I doubt I'll touch one again, not because they are bad cars, but...

Well, they priced the wheel wrong in the first place. It isnt £600 its £370. Still pretty pricey if you ask me! Still Renault have agreed to pay for half of the cost, so it makes it slightly more bearable. They argue I have had 50k miles out of the old one. LOL Anyway Im going to see if I can...

Thanks for all the comments guys. I missed a call from a guy at the Renault dealership saying he needed to talk to me as he had a contribution from Renault. Ill ring him later on and find out. Funny, they seem to be much more helpful now that Ive told them we wont be paying for anything until...

Thanks for the comments guys, thing is its a company car so I cant use an aftermarket wheel. And the £600 doesnt inclued the airbag, it really is just the wheel. I guess I could have got one from the breakers, but thats a bit like admitting defeat. I have the wheel fitted to the car now and...

Ive moved this post from the interiors forum as it doesnt appear to be generating any replies. OK, this is part rant, part request for opinions. I got back off holiday a week ago after 10 days in Sardinia. My MKII Clio 172 Sport had been sat in Airparks secure long stay carpark in Luton for...

finally got some information. The good news? Those with the Tuner list stereos can get the denison peice of kit. The bad news, it aint cheap..... Shopping Cart (Prices in British Pounds) DESCRIPTION QUANTITY PRICE Ext. Price ice>Link:iPod v1.1 with Unilink...

cheers buddy. I doubt Ill change the headunit as its a company car. Lucky old me huh, 172 as a company car with free fuel, insurance, road tax, tyres etc. Ive seen this as well...

arse, I have the FM modulator (itrip) but it sucks. There must be an audio in on the standard stereo that would usually be used for the multichanger isnt there? If I can find the right cables, find the cable that tells the headunit the multichanger is there and give it the right signal (probably...

Does anyone have any more info on this? I have emailed them to find out if they can interface with the standard 172 headunit via the multichanger cables, but havent heard anything yet. I have an itrip, but they suck. It takes ages to get a decent frequency so it sounds OK and then 5 minutes...

does anyone have anything slightly more constructive to say than :confused: ? If Im not being clear please ask. Ive reread my post and all I can see that may be confusing is Malaysi should be Malaysia and what I mean by "am buzz" is that buzzing, crackling and whistling you usually associate...

OK guys and gals, I have a question. Ive just come back from malaysi with a lovely new 40gb Ipod and an Itrip, with the intention of using it to play my tooons in my standard mark 2 clio 172. However the i-trip is a bit w*nk as it has a sort of am buzz about it and the clarity is rubbish...

0 is no fan assistance, i.e. the faster you drive the more air comes into the cabin. that way you dont need to have the fan on.

did the car stop. My ABS only cuts in on a wet or muddy road, doesnt seem to want to lock up or cut in on a dry road. Stops like a 8astard though, best stopping car Ive ever had!

16k, bought the car new october last year. been clocking up the miles, fortunately its a company car and Ive had no prolems yet, except the dreaded 4k rattle.

Jawnathan, So because your dad had had surgery, and you thought he might be in danger/dying it became acceptable to increase the risk to your life, and the lives of all the other road users. Sounds a bit hypocritical to me. Having said this, I speed all the time if Im honest, but within...

The symbol you are describing is for blanking off the air into the car, hence it travelling over the car instead of coming into it. Its noisy as the air is trying to blow in to the ducts but you have shut them off. When you change the dial the air has somewhere to travel so its quieter. Hope...

I was at Ikea at the weekend and folded the back seats down for the first time. One of them came off in my hands and gave me a right shock. Pretty cool though how you can take them out so quick. Cant work out if the seat backs are supposed to be removable as well though. They have a release on...

Got a pearl black 172 for 11,999 on the road, took 4 days from order and I paid nothing, company car :D. Whats more free fuel, just as well, cant stop driving it. Had it 2 weeks done 1400 miles so far.... Got it from Ian Shiptons in Burton but they also have them at motorpoint in Derby too. Only...

if its a 172 its definately Pearl Black, same as mine!

but does the standard unit plug into the multichanger or is a different head unit too?

How likely is it that Renault will be able to tell what youve done and when? I think if it breaks they should fix it, but I must admit I have taken it fairly easy so far. Its hard though!

strange, maybe Ill go down to Renault and ask. I havent even checked to see if theyve left the cable in for the unit yet. I assumed that they would, but you know what assumed did! Im also assuming the head unit is the same wether the multichanger is fitted or not. My head unit has list something...

Can anyone tell me the brand and model number of the multichanger fitted as standard to the 172 please. I want to get one and might as well keep things standard. Thanx

yeah, we do have some great roads although more and more are being turned into 50mph restrictions with loads of cameras. Seems stupid turning country roads into 50s when theres nothing around and the roads are nice and wide. Im relocating to Lincoln soon. Loads of nice roads there to but Lincoln...

fantastic!

Got my 172 today and the manual says less than 3500Rpm and less than 80 for the first 625 miles :( still its up to you. Some say if you drive them hard they free up better. Depends how long you want to keep the car for I guess. ANything in the first two/three years is warranty. Then if it aint...

finally got it, Ill be out and about this weekend I think! Might take a cruise down to sussex and see my little sister! That should about get me run in nice and properly.

Just to let you know, I got the car and made it through a whole day without losing a) my life or b) my license. Got stuck in a jam on the M1 but even that was pleasant. Gave me chance to play with everything. Didnt get an auto changer (I didnt think I would but was secretly hoping). Q What is...
