Re: What model do you own? why, whats the deal with 172's. And whats ff mean mate?

I drove it home but had to pick my little girl up on the way home too ,so i was double nervous having her in the car not knowing if the wheel was gonna fall off.

So at least its fixable:D and the insurance are picking up the bill if they decide not to write it off. I cant post any pics cos it was straight to the crash repair shop for the insurance quote, and to be honest there was nothing to see. It would be fun to video the same roundabout next time...

I think my flame red 172 is dead! We got rained off on Tuesday and was on my way home when i took a detour to drop my mates off. Id had some fun with a V8 commodore ute but had slowed right down to negotiate a series of roundabouts. As it was the first rain in ages all the roads become really...

Thanks for that, how do you actually fit it? :S

Cheers mate. If its a seal thats gone no-one is prepared to take a look cos its not a Holden or Ford.

my speedo needle keeps dropping out and going to zero. Im assuming its a worn cable. Any ideas on how to change it and whats involved? Also my aircon has stopped blowing cold and im in a sticky position.The aussies have no clue what a Renault is and im reluctant to hand over any money to the...

Cheers mate. I found it in one of the manuals. Took about 4hrs to do one side and about 15minutes to do the next!!!!! all done now, just got to make sure everything works in the morning.

am having a nightmare .first i couldnt find the brake fluid reservoir on my rs and now its pitch black outside and i cant get the piston pushed in....whats the answer guys?????????????

Thank god for that..... i have just started an hour ago, we have no light and i need to get the piston pressed in! Thanks for the pics.... spent most of the light looking for the brake fluid, great pic!

Saw one the other week at a resort called the Vines out in Swan Valley. Must be the only one in WA cos i havent seen one before. In top nick and sat on 17s, very nice.

Ha ha too true....only problem with the ones over here is they dont know anything except the two main makes (honestly) but will still take the job and rip you off!!!

Cheers for the advice. Joined the club now and read the threads concerning my question. I did both sides in about 2 hrs (inc looking after my baby daughter!) and saved myself shitloads of cash. I had one guy (Remember im in Oz and all they know is Ford and Holden) suck through his teeth and go...

On this site? Last time i did it it was on my Scirocco Gti. I suppose its the same principle? Cheers anyway :)

What is involved in swapping the front discs and pads on my 172? I just got up off the floor after Renault quoted me over $300 for the discs and over $200 for the pads, supplied and fitted. This is on top of the power steering pump thats got to be shipped from Melbourne and will set me back...
