My 172 16 months later....

[Dan 172]

I've had my 172 for 16 months now and have done 12,000miles, but i've had few things go wrong.

So far I think i've been back to the Renault at least 15-18 times and been without my car for nearly a month in total.

So far I have had...

New Carbon Canister
New Alternator
2 x New Brake switch
New headlight, auto height adjuster.
2 x New Headlight Washer
New Centre section Exhaust
New drivers and passenger seat racks
New Lumbar support in driver’s seat.
New Water temp sensor
New Coil Pack & Spark Plugs
Broken drivers seat again
Gearbox problems
Dented bonnet (A present for the dealer, but they did repair it)
Small climate control fan by map reading light replaced

Still i have more problems now which need sorting out.

I really like driving my 172 and don't want to get rid of it, but I just don't think i'm going to be able to handle sticking it back together all the time, as the car is only on 32k.

I hope I'm not the only one thinking this with my car now out of warranty.
