Took my 172 in for a 24k service the other day, went to collect it and was told the off-side front top mount had some play in it and needed replacing, after a short disagreement they agreed to do the work under warranty even though the car is lowered and I was a happy man. Dropped the car off a few days later for the new top mount at which point they also fitted a new shock absorber. I collected the car and took the long way home, the difference was amazing, every bend was far more fun than ever before and I had much more confidence in the handling, I was well pleased............then surprise surprise it all goes pear shaped I get a knocking noise form the front off-side shock, investigated it a bit and found the shock was floating around in its top mount with about 10mm of play, took it strainght down to Renault who had it for 5 hours and got nowhere with it, so its back in again on Monday for two new shocks, suspension mods and some other b*ll*cks . Apparently its a problem with 172/cups. Anyone else experienced this? if so how long did it take to get sorted? Im spending more of my time off at Renault than at home and Im wondering whether its time to get rid as this is just one problem in a very long list. Please someone restore my faith
