As I said that's just a calculation. If I stalled my Mondeo with say a half tank, the trip would say like 30 miles to go, the fuel reading would be normal on the gauge tho. Trust yourself to know how much fuel you have and not some computer thats threw a hissy.

In my st220 i just sold the trip used to say 0 miles to go and the most i ran it at 0 was 45 miles, and the fuel light come on a 50 miles to go lol. Brings back that old Top Gear episode where he ran (i think) was a Jag for ever on 0 miles to go according to the trip. Keep a jerry can in the...

can just use a jubilee, or even a thick cable tie.

Yip dipped are indeed h7. What ones seem best? I've never used any.

The bottom mount and top strut mounts were changed for new ones.

excellent, thanks, ill look into that. even if the vin shows up at service, there wont be any lights just because the ECM has been changed>?

I think they thought i wouldnt notice lol So all i have to do is get one second hand from another 172 cup and plug it in?

I bought the car a few weeks ago with a few known faults, Airbag/serv light was on knocking in 1st and 2nd under power top mount drivers side squeaky drivers cv noisy on full lock alignment out The garage agreed to fix all these for me and have had the car for 2 days, got it back tonight...

Yeah those little covers is what I mean. This is the first car I've came across that doesn't have them! Not looking at hid no, normal headlights good enough for me. I take it you don't get a choice on temperature ratings with normal halogen bulbs? If not how do u get away from that yellow...

Any ideas? Cheers

Nice one. That's exactly what's there. I looked down the hole with te car locked and could see the led flashing away. As for lighter I'll get it out and clean it properly. Cherrs

Yep tried all that. Even tried cleaning it out. It's pretty coroded inside. It's as if the pins that come out the bottom of the plugs aren't making proper contact with the bottom of the socket?? Isn't the alarm led on the dash clocks??

anyone>?:S

Hi On my headlights on the cup ive noticed there isnt that silver cover thing over the dipped beam bulbs, every other car ive had the bulb sits behind a metal reflector thing (sorry no idea on name) that shines the light back on the unit. A pic would be useful but its dark and snowing lol...

For anyone wondering the same thing, it's an m5 bolt for these.

This seems to only work with the cigarette lighter, tried 2 different chargers and a tyre inflator and they don't work....... Any ideas? Also whats the little hole next to the socket for? Looks like an Aux input? Cheers Kenny

Yes the pins on both the rear and centred are threaded on the inside. As above matey. Non of the Mounts fit over the ridge on the pins. And if they did it would sit funny

Thanks. Just seems very weird that the temp goes up with the engine warming up, never goes above 50 normally around the 44 mark. Seen it at 8 this morning till I drove.

I fitted a new exhaust today only to find out the one on the car was custom one. Am I right in saying there should be little bolts and washers that go through the rubber mounts and bolt the pins in place??? What size are these,? Kenny

Hey Having a weird one with the external temp on the 172. It seems to go up and down depending on load on the engine:S Is there anyway this is linked to the engine somewhere? Is this a mod carried out normally? Or is the sensor just knackered and I'm imagining it? Lol Kenny

Is there a way (that isn't a bodge) to add a hanger on the other side of the back box so the weight ain't resting on that one mount?

Cheers guys. Needs new exhaust, get that Tomoro, got a few knocks from underneath somewhere. Suspect engine mounts and suspension top mounts.

Been to Renault, £302.59 Inc vat for centre and rear exhausts. :approve:

From a dealer yeh? That sounds more like it lol Perfect, ill get onto Renault tomoro and check prices from the stealers. Ta muchly guys

No noise for me. Those days and sore ears are long gone! Really the expensive from a dealer? Wow. I'll get on the phone to local custom exhaust places then. Kenny
