Hi everyone,

I have been driving my trophy for nearly a year now and i am very happy with it!

Taken me a while to sign up but im here now, after 10 months of driving without even checking the tyres i thought i better so i brought the £22 accutire pressure gauge and found the pressures were 23 front and 21 back approximately! I had been wondering why the car had more grip day by day over the last 10 months i now know why. I just pumped them up to 34 front and 32 back as per advice from this forum and the car feels completely different. It is very bumpy now and everything rattles. Not had a proper test of it yet so i will have to see if i lose confidence due to the car feeling less planted now. I may also my fuel bill reduce!

Only other problems i have had is ABS ESP warnign light that kept coming on and off throughout the winter but it cured itself in the summer


but now i have a problem of a creeking steering wheel in the summer because something expands in the heat :shock:

But musnt grumble i got it almost for what i could sell it for now so all in all i am happy with the car

thanks for caring but cliosport people said it was a scraping against the auto indicator canceling mechanism, it only happens when its hot, its fine when its cold. It is annoying though.

ahh good good...i had that problem with the kights but when i took it to ren...i turned the car off...so when they plugged ther comp in it cancelled the fault.......finally got it to the ren garage with the fault on n sorted it

Yep, I think i responded to your post over on Cliosport.

Renault dealer definitley put the creaking on my 172 down to the indicator stalk mechanism. Like you it only happened when it was warm, so by the time it annoyed me enough to think about getting it in to have it sorted it had stopped again as the weather had changed.

Hi there, welcome to the forum!

I thought the ABS/ESP warning traingle flashing over winter was just the traction control activating when you have ESP enabled, is this not right? :?

 

[big_peaches]

no im talking about the SERV light comming on and staying on with the traction triangle.
