There's loads of 172s and 182s in the NAC car park, some with stickers. Anyone on here from NAC?

Is the gearbox still like stirring porridge, like the previous one?

If thats the Autodelta one, Top gear got it going round their track faster than the current M3.

Stupid topic alert.

I have to say, having had 2 punctures in the last 6 months, Im glad my 172 has a spare.

The best Clio is the one you own.

I dunno about skimping, Im paying half the price for a service from a proper chain of garages that will use genuine renault parts and from the listing seems more comprehensive than renaults own. Sod the resale, I am NOT paying 250 quid for an oil change.

Abs comes in handy on those odd moments that you arent mr 100% full speed reaction rally ace.

Isnt it 4.75 litres for an oil and filter change? Often its not worth supplying your own as they can get it cheaper than you, unless youre going for a specialist oil.

Yeah, mine used about a litre in the first 1500 miles, but then after I did an oil and filter change it doesnt use any at all.

Well Ive just rung the Nationwide Centre in Rugby, very friendly chap quoted me 114.99 to use renault filters and semi-synth. So Im booked in there. Their 12k full service looks more comprehensive than the Renault schedule states, so thats good too.

Im certainly not paying 250 quid for something I could do myself in half an hour. Does anyone know what Renault are like, if I take it to an independent accredited garage?

Renault dealer in Rugby wants £240-£250 quid for a first service on a 172. Thats ridiculous for just changing the oil and filter and checking a few fluid levels. There must be somewhere cheaper, even at a main dealer, or is this the average these days?

Ive had a 156 V6, not GTA. A little bit nose heavy, but lovely to look at and to drive and the engine sounds sweet and goes like stink.
