Hi guys, long time since I've posted on here and I'm looking for some advice and help. I'm trading my current vehicle to a independant dealer. (who is also a forum member on here) and taking one of his motors. Due to various reasons I'm going from a 14month old 197 I bought new to a 55 plate...

Hello All Thought I'd post thread detailing the total ineptitude I have suffered at the hands of reno in the past few months, I need to get this off my chest as I'm so p!ssed off its untrue. Bear with me as it's quite a tale!! I sold my 172 in March this year as I was getting married in...

Hi all Got some avi files I want to put on dvd so they can be watched on a normal dvd player. I've got nero 7 but every time I run the conversion and burn process then watch it back the sound goes out of synch with the picture, anybody got any ideas?? Also if I watch the original clip...

Just got some willy wheels today and I'm gonna have the refinished in a different colour, black with a polished lip is my current thinking but might consider anthracite with a polished lip or maybe even silver, can any of you experts shop this for me?. Found some dark willy wheels by doin a...

Thought I'd post a few pictures of my valver and the bits that arrived for me today. Got the valver a couple of weeks ago. Just had it machine polished. Had to sell my 172 due to a lack of funds (i.e. a nagging future wife and a mortgage) but now I can't stop buying stuff for the valver, my...

Going to look at a valver at the weekend, it's on 60k and the owner is not sure if the cam belts been done or not. If i buy it then i'd have the cam belt done asap, how much should this cost? Gonna try using a local garage unless someone on here can recommend anybody. Is it a big job, any...

Hi all Another bad week for me on ebay, after getting messed about last week with a non paying bidder for my car I have just had another bomb shell. I sold a pioneer tv screen head unit a couple of weeks ago (a AVH-P6400CD to be exact), the buyer has contacted me tonight to tell me that when...

My 172 sold tonight on ebay so as long as the top bidder doesn't let me down I'll be looking for a valver asap. Friend at work has a ph2 and that looks smart, what's the difference between ph1 + ph2's and on what reg did they change over? What do i need to look for when I buy one? I'm lookin...

Hi all Selling my 172 so I've been scouting ebay and the autotrader for idea of prices etc and i've noticed many are advertised with auto lights. Does mine have this? (2003, 53 model) and if so how do they work? Does a switch have to be in the right place etc? I fear I've made a right...

I was driving along the other day in my 172 and as I changed gear the bottom of my gear leaver gaitor popped out of the centre console, I tried to refit it but the black plastic ring to which the gaitor is stapled to is broke. God knows how much reno will charge as i'm sure the ring and gaitor...

As title, can you only get a trophy from a main dealer or are any brookers like carselect gonna get them? Toying with the idea of getting one but £15.5 k is a hell of a lot of cash! [Edited by fewie_172 on 05 July 2005 at 4:19pm]

Posted on here yesterday about the local main dealer cocking up my service by leaving the oil filler cap, thus decorating my engine bay in oil! Went in today all guns blazing, got fobbed off by the women on the desk, not really interested but she got the technician who serviced my car to come...

Just had the first service done on my 172 @ the local main dealer in Hull. Was initially very impressed, completed in 4 hours and the car returned to me with a full valet inside and out. Paid £189 all in and was given a top up pack containing spare oil, windscreen washer fluid and a can of...

Just given my 172 its bi-monthly wash and i have noticed that the 2.0l 16V badges on the doors have gone a bit dodgy. The surface paint work almost looks like rust is bubbling up underneath(although im guessing thier just laquered plastic). Anyone else had this problem? will renault replace...

Ive moved house recently and lost the key to remove the centre cap on my 172 wheels. Ive got a mate with a 172 as well but before I turn up on his doorstep I was wondering if the keys are universal or are they vehicle specific? Can I just order one from reno? Does anyone know how much they...

My new 172 smells like its burning even after short runs and its only done 1600 miles!! Is this maybe the cat burning in?? I had a terrible smell from the cat of my saxo vtr for a few thousand miles until it was ran in. I did try to run it in properly although I admit to the odd thrash...

Does anyone know a customer service number for renault uk? I posted a thread here last week about my import and somebody told me that if i contact renault they will convert my 2 year pan european warranty to a three year uk one. Also my mate needs to contact them as our local renault dealer is...

Hi, Im new to all this so bear with me. Just bought a new 172 sport from a car supermarket last week and I need some help on servicing as the guy I got it from wasnt that clued up. Does it need a service/check up after 1500 miles like all new citroen cars do? Will I have hassle getting...
