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?
Hi chaps, its 1st service time coming up and Id like to find a good independent place in or around Rugby or Cov. I thought these days as long as renault parts were used the warranty/service record was still valid?
Ive posted here to try and get a wider audience.
To cut a long story short tomorrow on my 172Mk2 Im going to put 205/45/16s on the back but keep my 195/45s on the front for now.
The difference is only .9mph at 60 but do you think it will trigger the ABS or TC at high speed?
Also I reckon I might get a bit more understeer as the...
If the wipers are on auto, when you select reverse gear it works the rear wiper, and then every 2 seconds while you have it in reverse.
The amount of luxury stuff I got on my 11k 172 never ceases to amaze me.
That and the fact that last night the excellent handling stopped me looking...
Ok, Ive had a look at the colour coding guide, seems simple enough, just lengthy.
But has anyone tried colour-coding their front grilles? Does spraying work on all those nooks and crannies?
Ive got my 172 and Im well happy with it. But some of the discussions about performance make me laugh, especially when comparing a Clio with some large performance barge cos you get someone saying ah yes the Clio could match it 0-60 but once you get above 100mph the barge will pull away. SO...
Ive had a search on here but havent found a huge amount. Any fitted one of these to 172/cups? Id have thought the revvy clio engine would love this, unless its already lightened by renault?
Turns out I dont have a CD changer, boo, sh1tty import!
Anyway whats the cheapest one I can get thats still compatible with the stock Renault head unit? Dont want to spend a fortune as it will all go in the summer when I get something decent in.
Also, does anyone think the steering...
I do like the look of the front of my new silver 172, but I reckon it would look even better with the dark plastic grilles replaced with chrome.
Anyone done this? Does it look ok, are they expensive?
Hi all, sorry if this has been asked a million times, but Ive had problems before with oiled filters like K&N fouling the airmass sensor. Is this a problem for a Clio 172 and if so am I best sticking to a non-oiled foam one?
Hi everyone.
I have just ordered a brand new unreged Clio Sport 172, for 11 grand. Fully loaded, all the bells and whistles and 4k cheaper than the list price, cos they are getting rid of them for the 182. I have to say Id rather save 4k, Im sure I can get another 10hp a lot cheaper than...
