You were on middle car park ... near debenhams. Looked nice!

Ok, coming back from Milton Keynes and weather was aweful, came round a corner at 60mph on National Limit Road, braked and the car swerved into other lane skidding, swerved to avoid on coming traffic through a fence sideways :( Completely totaled one side of car, boot and front head light :(...

Hi have changed the induction kit on my 172 from a K&N Cone, to a Pipercross Viper and thought the noise is supposed to immense from the vipers? Thing is its aweful! Sound is really quiet and nothing like my K&N... Have taken the CAF off and the sound is better ... but still not GREAT Just...

You parked up pretty much next to me :) Car looked clean.

Finally found a second hand xenon and off to brum today to get it fitted :) Yay no more cracks Tom :D

Finally decided to brave the cold today and spent 4 hours cleaning my 172 ... pretty happy with it tbh. Just despise the standard wheels :( Sorry for poor photos (had to take on my phone and was a little dark!) if a mod is able to rotate that would be ace! i dont know how!

When i slid in the back of someone in the ice i cracked the outer case of one of my xenons ... and a bracket split. I have picked up a spare light (faulty) and want to switch the casing. How easy is this to do? Is anyone in either Oxford, East Sussex or Birmingham who might be able to lend me a...

Ok ... have a flame red 172 ph2 and when i clean and polish the car there are a couple of patches on the roof (about 1sq inch each) that are like grease marks / a lighter colour??? No idea what they are or how they got there but RUIN the look :( any ideas how to remove them? I'm in the Oxford...

Hello, Have purchased some new (Standard CS) seats to replace my worn out existing seats. Whats the crack installing them? Could someone talk me through it ... Dont want airbags etc going off! Thanks

When ever i flip my indicator stalk upwards (turing right) it knocks the plastic surround behind the steering wheel causing it to unclip and a nasty noise... VERY FRUSTRATING Have tried re-cliping etc. any ideas?

Ok ... So having done a 200 mile trip today my climate control has started playing games on me ... Firstly when i now press Auto the AC light no longer comes on. The hot air comes out of the fans then every so often goes cold. Upon getting into the drive tonight the temp sensor (external) reads...

Ok so my alloys are curbed around the edges ... looking at refurbing the 4 of them ... any ideas on how much im looking at? Cheers

The alacantra in my 172 drivers seat is in a rather sorry state... any one on here do refurbs of interiors / know anywhere that does? Cheers Tom

My driver-side seat is really worn (on the lower fabric part) where your bum is when you drive ... its really bugging me. I guess the previous owner was quite heavy and this stretched the fabric :( Anyone know anywhere that re-cover the seat? Cheers. Tom

Hello all, Just a quick one, My 172 has the standard wheels. I am now changing to The 182 Cup Wheels. Do i need to notify my insurance? I think the wheels are optional from Renault and therefore i could claim that they were on the car as standard? Really dont want to tell my insurance as at 20...

Hello everyone... Just thought i'd introduce myself... I'm Tom and just bought my first 172 upgrading from a 1.9 1994 Clio Diesel. My Clio's a 172 Flamer 02 reg, standard. Got 62,000 on the clock, full Camden Renault history. Managed to get it for £3200 which i think was a steal :D Just...
