Have Any Of You.........?

[fubu172]

Got replacement pedals?
If so what ones you got?
Mine are so worn out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Daz]

Doesn't the 172 come with Metal ones anyway? How come they're so worn?

 

[fubu172]

Yes does come with metal pedals.
I bought the car second hand and the pedals were worn when i bought it.

 

[Daz]

Well, I'd get the same ones again personally.

They are pretty nice from what I remember.

Some I think you have to be careful cus' they arn't road legal - the Renault ones definetly are..

 

[Djw John]

I think the covers are about £30 each from renault! But yeah Id get the same again. How many miles has the car done?

 

[fubu172]

Had done 18400 when i bought it
Cheers guys

just get some autosol on them... that bring them up and they ment to be how they are, unless you have a metal file stuck to your foot.

 

[MRBILLYUK]

The original alloy pedals do wear out , depends on your driving position . I'm 6'1" and like to sit close to the steering wheel so it means i press the pedals more sideways on than on the top so i wore out the sides of the clutch n brake pedals . So i just got some grade A aluminium sheet and made some new ones . You wouldn't tell the difference between them and the original renault ones except mine are better quality and more harder wearing .

As to using autosol on your pedals . Do ya really want shiny , " slippery " pedals ? Especially with the wet ,maybe even snowy weather approaching ?

Your asking for problems .

MrBillyUK!

 

[Leeshez]

How come they have worn? Whats the mileage on the car?

 

[Andy.]

Mine are also pretty worn. It has done 40,000 miles:

Should have hoovered it first!

 

[MRBILLYUK]

They wear out cos they are thin aluminium covers , not full pedals .Aluminium is only soft .
