Should I bother getting the plugs off ebay??? Not a huge fan...

So what are (should) the original plugs be? I'm gonna order all this on weekend. So 5-40 oil is def what I need? Cheers all!

Ok it's time to spend a few notes on the 172 as she needs a service. A few quick questions. She's a Mk2 Ph2 51 Plate 172. Which plugs??? And where's cheapest? I hear NGK are good. What oil do I need? Is it reccommended to uprate the HT leads? Oil filter is pretty much standard I guess? I have an...

Thought so - was just lookin on k-tec at the angel eye headlamps they have but i believe they not xenon??

Right, so do I need to take the full headlamp out to have a play with it?? Are xenon's motorised? Cos i don't have the movement control!

Hi all, Well the 172 went for it's MOT this morning and passed with flying colours! Unfortuntely got 3 advisory's, one of which i should be able to resolve myself. The offside dipped (xenon) beam is too low. So I looked for an adjuster screw or something but after taking the rubber cap off to...

Hello all again! Still having problems with my car turning on full lock as previously mentioned. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=190168&highlight=danjacko Am I right in saying under the bonnet at the top of the suspension where there's a big piece of rubber is where you guys...

Nope but I'm lookin, want a set powder coating gold.

Right think I've got my head round what you mean. Does anyone have any pics of fitting the washers on the top struts? Also how many engine mounts are there and how do I check them???

OK - so is this engine mount an uprated one from k-tec? Would that possibly help? Is it worth taking it somewhere for a so called professional opinion? What kinda prices you loooking at for new shafts? Cheers. Dan.

Hi all, I apologise if this has already been posted many times before but I have a couple of noises on my 172. The first is when I'm in 1st gear and accelerating hard I her a kinda knocking noise? It's fine if I drive it gently. Secondly, I get a knocking on full lock when turning. I assume...

Cheers for the replies everyone. Looks like I'll just try n make up the ecu bracket best i can. It'll give my old man a challenge whilst I'm at work!! The seat is so annoyin, I'll investigate it further but I just can't find any loose bolts. The crack on the door panel isn't too bad - If anyone...

Hi all, I have a few problems with my 172 - any advice would be appreciated! 1 - Under the bonnet behind the battery there is a black box which seems to have lots of wires going into it - I'm not sure what this is but I noticed the other day there is a bracket at the top right hand side which...

I got my 172 about 6 months ago and I'm in the same boat. The imported version has no alarm, just the standard reno immobiliser which is the red light on the dash. My Hpi report also states it is not an import, therefore how are you to know? So your insurance company can't do anything about it...

I've got one! Bought it direct from K-tec so it was bit pricey but personally I think it's definitely worthwhile! My old, original filter was dead so I probably noticed a significant increase in engine pick up and it adds a little more 'grunt' when accelerating hard. Great mod if u don't want an...
