Hi all - New 172 Driver

[Jay-R]

Hey all,
I've just joined today, I'm a 21 year old 172 owner (1 week and counting) I've had a good read around and this is a damn useful forum. Already calmed me down on the airbag light! (was a bit worried)

So its been a week and my car already has a flat battery, I think its just because its 6 yr old and probably the original battery. Setting off to get one tonight, is it worth chasing up a renault one or does it not matter?

Also my Oil sensor seems to be on crack and is yoyo'ing about I think im just going to ignore it and go 'manual' on the oil checking.

Am I getting an alright deal on my ins, paying £1100 fully comp with 3 yrs no claims. Seems ok to me I shopped around a bit and went with Adrian Flux in the end.

Any heavy duty batt should be good but not totally sure, oil sensor??
as for insurance thats not cheap to be honest im jus 21 with 2 year ncb and i pay 822 with direct line fully comp that was the cheapest i could find but it totally depends on your on circumstances really you cant really compare.

gud luck with the motor mate and get some pics up ASAP

insurance does seem high im going to be getting 1yrs no claims on the 19th and insurance for a 172 will be 1300 with admiral.

Welocme, Insurance price isnt too bad, but adrian flux can be awkward if you do need to claim, make sure you tell them every little mod or change etc.

Hello dude, i am a newbie 2!

I got quoted £1200, Fully Comp on Firect Line, 21, 0NCB, 0accidents, 0 Points, so it looks like your getting raped!

I am hopefully going to be getting a 172 in the coming months

Oil sensor ? do you mean when you press the trip reset button after first starting the car ? with the square blocks ? if so its handy to tell you your running low but always manually check with the dipstick first before topping up.

If you park on a hill it can throw the sensor off into thinking your low on oil.
