All - just about to order some new plates as mine are looking a mess, is it easy to fit new ones? Do the old ones just pull off, and the new ones stick on? Or are there concealed screws? Cheers

Guys and Gals - thought I'd let you know how my 30 month old 172 is giving me grief.... Basically back in November I was driving along quite happily at about 40 when the engine warning light came on (the coil-type light) and I lost revs. Whatever I did I couldn't get it over about 3000rpm in...

Hi. I've got a 28 month old 172, and have covered about 12800 miles in that time. I've been having a few traction problems in the recent bad weather, so to be on the safe side thought I better check out my tyre wear. I'm down to 2mm at the front (in the middle of the tyre) and 5mm at the back...

Heres one for all you petrolheads... Ive heard a lot of conflicting stories about using different RON petrol, and what it does to the performance / state of your engine. Am I being a muppet using standard 95 RON petrol, or should I be going for 97 RON every time? I know some cars like the...

OK, does anybody REALLY know whether there are such things as RenaultSport official mods for the 172? Ive seen several postings from people saying theyve had them, and a 172 in the back of EVO magazine said it had offical mods. If so, anyone know any contact details as Id be happy to spend a bit...

Hi guys ( + gals?) Anybody out there got hard facts on what kind of performance gain you can get from exhausts, induction kits, chips etc.? On my last car (Corsa sport) I gained exactly 0.4 bhp from my mods - not exactly great value for money!!! I love my 172 at the moment but I just know Ill...
