I've called Greenlight and they simply said there's 'been a problem' with my insurance. I asked to speak with a Manager, but he was on the phone. I was promised a call right back... that was 2 hrs ago :dapprove: I've now renewed with Brentacre :approve: I'm guessing that skyinsurance's...

Guess I'll call them tomorrow... and start looking around :dapprove:

I have been insured with Greenlight for the last year. My renewal is due next month. Today I received a letter stating that they are no longer willing to insure my vehicle (172 chipped/lowered/mod exhaust/filter) for a further year. I am 55 yr old with 9+ years NCB. No explanation is given. I...

That's mine :approve: G4UXG (my Amateur Radio callsign). Iceberg 172, K-tec and JMS bits 'n bobs, remap, lowered etc etc... I work airside at LHR, and probably just finished work when you spotted me.

I'd replace my disintegrating s/wheel, but only with one with an airbag. Is there any alternative to a Renault wheel?

jonathanedew - 2003 172 47k wheel melted at 2100 and 1500 hrs.

OK thanks for that, so that just means the heated mirrors not working :dapprove: Don't suppose anyone knows if it has its own fuse?

Yep, thinking about it not sure how else they would be turned on? Does your wing mirror adjuster cluster light up?

I had my 172 for about 9 months now and only just noticed: 1. Heated mirrors not working... does a 172 have them as standard? 2. No glow light on mirror adjusters on the armrest? Have I a problem? Thanks. Jon

Thanks all... I gotta big shopping list now ;)

A few weeks ago I managed to get polish/wax on the black plastic bits on the mirror backs, washer and fog light surrounds. Now they show a whitish smear :dapprove: Going to Halfrauds tomorrow - what's best product to buy to restore them to a nice black shine please?

Right... I'm an 'oldie' to most on here (I am 54), so bear with me! I have owned many cars in my time, before buying my 172 last February I was running my 3rd Golf GTI. I can tell you that the 172 is definitely the most fun car to drive than anything I have owned before. No it's not the...

Toyo UK came back... they recommend inflating to the Renault handbook pressures for Proxes on the standard wheels (195x45R16's).

Silver 172 could have been me... I live in Easthampstead Road :) Probably on the way to work :dapprove: Lowered with Janspeed exhaust, G4UXG.

Is that 15k Miles? Be good if it were! (he says hoping) :approve: I just changed mine this morning from fairly dubious Contis to T1-R's. First impressions are that they are softer... not getting so may jolts and bumps from the road, though I am not sure what pressure NTS have put in them...
