1450 mile problems

[182 sport]

so far done just over 1450 miles in 172,one washer ball down and the following things ive noticed that dont seem right. I Just need to know if its a normal 172 (dodgy goin on) or whether its shagged



1)when turning right at slow speed near full lock there is sum sort of creakin knockin noise that can be sumtimes heard.

2) when near hiting the limiter in second gear,it jams and dont let u stick it in 3rd.

i can live with these faults,only if its not broken

Welcome to the world of Clio ownership...



Creaking suspension - get it in & checked as you need to make sure its right!

Gears sticking - happens on a new box, so ease back a little and let it bed in properly!

The creaking is common, and the dealer will fix.

Do a search on the suspension problems affecting the 172.

I would be slightly concerned about the gearbox if it was to continue for much longer.

its not as if it does these all the time,the gearbox thing has happend twice,so ill take ure advice and wait for it to bed in,same with the turning noise,it dont happen all the time.
