Some @rse reversed their car into mine at the weekend and cracked the rear bumper, luckily there has been no other damage. What made it worse though was that two days before, I had got it back from the garage after spending £700 on it and it was abosolutely mint....grrrrrrr! Anyhow the person...

You know when you investigate a problem that isnt really that bad, then go that one step to far and @rse up the situation even more..... One of the bulbs has gone in my cup spoiler, just tried removing the light and have cracked the red plastic of the light. Does anyone know where I can...

Hi there.... Basically my clio keeps on randomly stalling. If I key off and then try a start it runs again fine. It appears to be stalling when dipping the clutch when changing gear or coasting up to a junction that kind of thing, i.e. no throttle input. It seems to happen whether the engine...

Washing my car the other day and noticed that the little ball that sits in the washer jet has gone missing! Cant believe that it has just fallen out, but equally cant believe anyone would be bothered to steal it (unless they have the same problem of course!!) Anyway been to the Crewe Dealer...

Has anyone else noticed that the paintwork on their clio seems to be extremley thin or not very hard (possibly both?). Had my 172 for a while now but it seems as it only has to see the smallest possible grain of sand and a chip appears on the bonnet that goes all the way through to the...

Sorry if its an old question, I have had a search but couldnt find anything. On the bottom of my near-side wing mirror I have a little nubbin. There isnt one on the off-side. Is it the thermometer for the outside temperature, or is there something genetically wrong with my car? I have...

Recently I have been contemplating selling me 172 and getting a Honda S2000 as I am worried about the residuals on the 172 dropping badly when the new Renaultsport model is released, plus I thought it would be a good way to cut down the amount of rubbish I have to transport whenever I go...

Can anyone help? I was driving on the M53 near Chester when confronted with a pair of aluminium step ladders lying across the road. I managed to swerve and miss most of them but just clipped the (sharp) end. They have scratched the front right which is repairable but they have punched a hole...

As above, in convoy travelling towards Kimbolton. Would have flashed you but didnt click until it was too late!

Is it normal for the 172 to have an induction whistle at low RPM? I personally think it sounds pretty cool, but I was talking to someone and they said it may be due to a hole somewhere in the air intake pipe!

Anyone know where the sensor is for the automatic headlights on the 172? Mine werent working last night, think I may have turned the function off by accident but I dont want to have to wait until night to find out if I have got them working again!!

Hi there, just wondered if anyone else has suffered this problem. Ive got a MKII 172 53 plate. Recently I have been going to garages and filling me car up (and I do mean filling it to the brim), then getting in my car, turning the key and the fuel gauge is only going to 3/4 full. Someone times...

Went up to Leeds at the weekend and was on me way back down to Peterborough going along the m62 when I saw the motorway police in my mirrors,obvioulsy I slowed down (not that i was tanking it!). Next thing I know he has pulled me over and given me 3 points and a 60 quid fine..... Guess what...

Went out for a spin last night in the rain, which was fun with a few hair raising aqua planing moments. However what was not fun was when I came round a roundabout and my wipers decided to say hello to each other and interlock in a kind of prayer!?!:confused: Anyone had a similar problem? I...

Hi all. I have just bought a new flame red mk2 172 and think it is fantastic. However I cant help thinking it would look better with the 172 cup spoiler. Anyone know if you can by them seperately and in different colours from Renault or anywhere else for that matter?
