I came across this Sat Nav / Speed Camera detector today in MotorWorld "Check Link". Seems pretty cool and reasonable for the price £299...

OK - maybe Im tight... Probably like a lot of 172/182 owners I will/tend to only put Optimax/Ultimate in my car. At 85.9p / 86.9p a litre respectivly "around Leicestershire anyway" is it worth it. Im sure Ill continue to put these brands in "Optimax prefered", but what f**ks me right off is...

Apologies for this, Im sure your all optimaxed to death. OK - Some people have posted comments relating to optimax and ultimate losing both their RON rating and their addatives when left standing in a car for a period of time. Is this the case?. The reason I ask is that I pretty much only use...

Yesterday took the opertunity to mow the lawn, being a nice day and all. Anyway ran a little close to the edge of the lawn over a few stones. This resulted in a broken mower blade but more annoyingly - see the following pics...

Anybody had any issue with their rear wheels sticking slightly on their 172 when parked for a few days or after a relatively short time after being driven in damp conditions. Is it a general isue or just with mine.

Any-one got a pic of their 172/182 with the front splitter?. Who much do they retail for?. Best to get from Renault or any other source?. Are they easy to fit?. Sorry cant think of any further questions!. Cheers.

Anyone know where I may purchase a Renault logo etching/sticker for car "back" window. Have checked the obvious "here and e-bay" but cant locate. Im pretty sure Ive seen one somewhere but cant remember.

OK - Any suggestions for removing the dealer sticker from the back window without making a mess or picking at it for days on end. Any solutions - methods or recommendations would be gratefully recieved. Cheers...

OK - 1000 miles covered in 172 - had a little play drive on the way back from the gym this evening - roads being greasy I decided to test the traction control under acceleration. Is it natural for the car to judder and bang at the front end when the traction control kicks in?. Cheers!

What options do I have to increase the BHP on my 172 by say 10ish BHP which will not invalidate my warranty.

Brought my 172 2 months ago "Import". Now: Question 1: Inside the filler cap it states 98ron "Is this the case for UK 172s". Question 2: From day 1 -> 800 miles Ive been running the car on std unleaded, I now run the car on Super "Ultimate or Optimax". Will the ECU need reseting as I...

Being totally honest here. I know next to F*** All about the mechanics of cars. If I want to increase my 172s BHP by say 10, what are the options "easiest, cheapest or best". Have read some of your postings regarding ehausts, chips and filters, but Im still a little unsure. I also dont want...

Anybody got any experience or comments of Renault Dealers/service Centres in Leicestershire. Any recommendations - avoidances.

Has anybody any pref over which super-Unleaded they use?. What if any benefits have you noticed?. Have heard that Shell Optimax is the best "highest ron level"!. Is this the case. Theres a distinct lack of Shell garages around these parts though!. Any comments would gladly be recieved...

Anybody know what the run-in period is on a 172 - i.e. the No of miles that the car should not be taken over say 3500 revs. Cheers.
