Hi, my temp gauge seems to be going up and down a lot and I get the impression somthing might be wrong.... anyone else experienced this? cheers

Hi, just realised my service is due but can't find any info on decent garages or specialists in the sheffield area, can any1 give me some advice on where to take my 172? There's a renault main dealer in sheffield but i'm trying to avoid it. cheers

This might sound a bit odd but I've found recently that when I ease the accelerator down slowly rather than jam it to the floor, the car seems to have a lot more go about it, especially in the midrange, is this maybe due to the ammount of petrol going in at once, i.e. can flooring the pedal...

Ive noticed my radio switching itself off and found rerence to this in the manual but not sure if it should? Also the clock only comes on when the radios on, is that normal? its a mk2 172 by the way! thanks [Edited by Bandit on 16 September 2005 at 10:12am]

Hi, Ive just fitted a K&n panel filter to my 172, should I now reset the ecu in order to take full advantage of this? Also can I do this by removing a fuse instead of disconecting the battery? cheers

Just a quick question, is the clock supposed to stay on after the radio is turned off? Im sure mine did before it went in to the garage for wheel bearings. Could they have disconnected the battery and broken something?

I was just looking for the t/c and esp switch which it tuns out I dont have and realised that I didnt have a headlight adjustment control either! whats that all about?

getting a funny droning noise from the rear of the car when driving, thought it was the exhaust at first but tried going in to neutral while driving and it was still prestent, could it be a wheel bearing? If so, how can I make sure without taking it to a a garage? thanks :)

bum, just picked up my new 172 yesterday and the service indicator has started coming on intimitantly, its not due a service until february :o does anyone know what might cause this?

picked up my new clio 172 mk2 last night so very happy at the moment! bought off vfr400 for 6k with 43k on the clock, full history and very good condition so think its a good deal. Quite impressed with the straight line speed, thought it would feel slow after a fiat coupe but its pretty nippy...

Ive seen a clio sport for sale but with no service history. Its cheap and only has 25k but without the history Im a bit put off. The guy bought it from an insurance company, apparently it was vandalised and needed a new roof skin. would I be mad to consider it?

Hi, Im new to the forum and looking for a clio 172. I Went to see a 2001 mk2 yesterday with 33k and really liked it but someone beat me to it apparently. Anyway, was wondering if you guys have an opinion on which is better, the mk1 or mk2? hopefully wont stir up a nest! cheers:)
