Thanks for the info

Hi Guys, Not a 'sport' issue, but thought I'd put it the way of my old community. Having an issue with girlfriend's Clio Phase II Car opens with central locking fob, but car just turns over without starting. Immobiliser(?) light on top middle of dashlights is flashing...

Just had a quote for my 172 bearings from a local garage. Apparently the front bearings are square and are built much stronger. The rear are tapered and have a tendency to wear out quicker than the fronts. I know this doesn't seem right but I trust this garages advice. He quoted me...

Hi All, My back box fell off yesterday. Phoned some exhaust places, but it appears that they're not 'patent' copied yet. Whatever that is. So main dealer only. Boo!! Quoted £120 by Sunwin Nottingham. Is there a cheaper alternative?? Need to know asap, as I can't continue to drive...

Thanks guys. That should give me enough info. Car shopping at the bank holiday!

But this forum has always provided me with the info I need. Got a standard Mk II 172 in black in excellent condition with 73K on the clock. It's an import and I've owned it from new. What sort of price range should I be looking for if I part exchange it? Thanks.

Thanks again!!

Thanks Guys, You sure on that size? For some reason I had 185/55/16 in my head?

Hi, Got a standard Mk. 2 172 on a 02 plate. Blew a tyre up last night, and the fronts are overdue renewal anyway. What size tyres do I need, as i'm going to order them from mytyres.com today??? Yes, I should know, but the car is parked miles away and I can't be bothered to walk...

the power steering system is self bleeding. Park the car on grass or gravel, and turn the wheel from full left lock to full right lock. Do this until you get bored.......... Say 20 times......... System will be a lot quiter after that.

Post a picture of your sis, and I'll offer the appropriate advice....... =]
