[tom coleman]

my 172 let me down tonight my battery died on me part from tht its running sweet how is everyone elses doing

 

[Sarah]

my is great better than ever!!!!

 

[Rich]

Not driven it in ages, should really sell it.

 

[FlameR]

seems ok in terms of running, sick of the f**king rattles now though, cos I can't work out where they are coming from. Think I need the fluids changing before winter though

 

[FlameR]

don't let it out of the club if you do though, no one else will appreciate how much you've looked after it. I bet you've only done about 78 miles as well haha

bit bad atm, something wrong with the cat (think the sensors) need new brake pads but most worrying is the paint on my bumber, its bubbling in places! done it right under the washer jets as if the water dripped down an done it or something. Apart from that all is good

 

[LegoHead]

mine is in bits.lol. Driven it for two days in four weeks.

First of the road for 3 weeks due to needing a remap. Now off the road due to a coolant pipe leak and blowing exhaust manifold. All minor things thankfully, but I am starting to miss driving.:dapprove:

Wont be getting used much now the wet weather is here.

 

[LeeJSA]

Rear bumpers missing.....needs the stainless exhaust fitting....oh & last & not least needs a jig on the mullered front end!!! LOL!

So all in all I'd imagine its seen better days!!!

Cheers

Lee

im having new disks at the front an pads all round next week aswell as my new battery so hopefully after tht it will be ok just had it serviced as well so touch wood it will be fine over winter

err where do i start....
BROKEN!
1. Head gasket gone - drinks about a bottle of water a day
2. Exhaust blowing from cat (i think) and from rear section
3. Thermostat cooked (from getting too hot cause of head gasket)
4. Gearbox whining and flaring
5. Very nasty grinding noise in reverse going left and same noise going tight on roundabouts
6. Didnt start today when i got in her to drive home from hairdressers, she was dead didnt even turn over, tried once more after threatening her with the scrap heap and she started - typical

So who else here thinks i have probably the worst running car here???

Oh and she stalls and kangaroos all the time .... not bad for an AUTOMATIC!

 

[Christopher]

running perfect, as usual

i've driven both my 172 and 182 hard, daily, they thank you for it!

a mate has a Ph2 172 that he pampers, never goes over 4k... it's never out of renault warrington. :S

 

[Stryker]

just failed its mot on one wheel bearing and a split steering rack gaiter, but to be honest for a ten year old car that does a fair amount of millage im pretty chuffed with it

Like a bag of s**t, alomost lasted a month without something breaking, not bad.

 

[Chili Red]

I've not had any problems with it for over 18 months - absolutely nothing! A few things went wrong in the first year (leaky washer jet, blown shock, alternator went) but they were fixed under warranty and it's been 100% trouble-free since. (touch wood).

All it does is rattle a bit, but they all do I guess!

Will have first MOT and 24k service before the end of the year.

 

[kully]

touch wood ......ok and no probs

 

[182Boogaloo]

Touch wood, i've had the car for over 3 and a half years, from new, and never had a single problem. Must be a good one eh!

 

[16v_jon]

written off

 

[john.med]

Rattling a bit and in need of new discs all round and a service i imagine (on 74k). Touch wood, reliable and starting well and getting thrashed daily. Exhaust's blowing somewhere though... Other than that can't complain.

 

[clio_luke]

really good apart from a strande noise when i let my foot off the throttled around 5000rpm. dont know what it is! like a kind of grinding noise and a louder exhaust note. HELP!

 

[mikey_172]

my engine blew up but i got another one put in got a few teething probs but will be sorted on tuesday hopefully she will be mint again

 

[tom coleman]

when i let my foot of at about 3500k it has an anoying vibrating tone from the exhaust aswell

[Russ_16v]

110,200 miles and runs great

 

[Djw John]

Apart from awheel bearing just beginning to make a noise and the os cv joint making a noise on full lock (making me scared to boot it off the lights!) absolutly fine!

 

[Racingblue182]

Goes great but would be better if it didn't rattle so bloody much.

 

[dannogtt]

my battery died yesterday too, apart from that its been fine
