Found this in the work car park this morning In Chelmsford

Howdy Damon, I saw you, I tried to give a thumbs up but was in the middle of changing gear when I spotted you, so had to make do with a nod !

Ai, Twas me ! Sorry guys, damons right - haven't been on here in a bit. Only just got my stainless exhaust fitted (The old one corroded through and fell off! and a stainless one was cheaper than a Reno system). Just remembered - I was going to Reno to get a 182 surround for the hole in the...

Hey all, Thanks Pootle for organising this, was well glad of the tent - it was quite cozy ! Sorry for not being really chatty - I was suffering from a monster hangover, which is usally sorted by a couple of alka-setzler and something greasy : - Tried that - didn't work....nevermind Settled for...

Took about 30 mins to do the backs and about 1 1/2 hours for the fronts - after muchos swearing at one of the suspension nuts which was locked solid. I stood on it....sorted. Top marks to Fred for the guide...found on here somewhere. Spot on...Even got the spanner sizes right ! Measured it...

Thanks guys for all useful info - I'll pass it on

What's a BITMA report ?

A mate of mine has been offered an imported 172. Apart from checking the warrenty is valid with Renault UK - is there anything else he should be aware of before diving in ? Private sale BTW.

hey mate - I'd been up to Kettering to pick up some Eibach Pro's from lewisniven (nice bloke!) and I'd seen the camera's on the way up there. Tomtom usually does a good job of warning me, but it had locked up as soon as I pulled onto the A14 and I couldn't be arsed to pull over and sort it out...

I think it was around 3pm ?? Sat Nav had busted and I was in unfamiliar territory so had no idea where the camera's were. So there I was pootling along in the inside lane ! Exchanged thumbs up and listened to the nice exhaust note as you went past :D

The rear doors are so f**ked, it's night time till he get's them closed !

Is this something 1 person could do on thier own with a trolley jack and a set of socket spanners ? A point in the right direction would be really good. I fancy lowering my car, but don't fancy spending another £100 at a garage getting them to the springs for me.

How many miles and on which make of tyre. If anyone has any comments (good or bad) on different makes...such as increased tyre noise/better grip/etc ?

Get to Chelmsford between 7.50am and 8.20 depending on what time I fall out of bed ! PS. Mine's a Monaco 172. Gimme a toot if u see me.

Thanks ! I'll watch out for ya !
