Two very nice looking 172s! Welcome to the forum :)

I'm glad you've noticed too :tonguewink: Not that I'm complaining, I just can't keep up with what you've got/sold! Looking forward to seeing you save this one though. It's shockingly chavvy as it is.

I love reading your write-ups! Keep up the good work :)

Very impressive. It sounds great too!

You buy too many cars.

Welcome to the forum :) Are you doing the engine work yourself?

Please use the search function, particularly in Clio Media section. Lots and lots of photos to be seen in various threads :)

You'd have to select 'standard UK reg plate' for the back then the custom one for the front but yes. I wouldn't worry too much though as both mine are plain and I've never had any issues. Mention in the comments box you want all the legals on the rear one just so they don't get mixed up :)

They definitely need to stay silver. That's what sets the car off looks wise. I wouldn't change a thing!

Show only on non-standard plates.

Of course! But just changing it for looks?

That car would be perfect if it wasn't for the daft stickers on the grille. It looks really nice on standard wheels!

A ridiculous idea. Utterly pointless exercise (in my opinion of course).

Spotted this on Instagram earlier, massive improvement - it looks fantastic. The only thing I'm not keen on is the rear plate being so dark. The wrap loks a fantastic job though, I bet you're chuffed to bits :)

What about posting some photos and info here too for those of us that don't have Facebook? It sounds interesting and I'd love to see :)

I used a lot of WD40 after leaving the engine running for a bit on mine. It was pretty much welded in too but eventually came out using a massive spanner.

Do it straight after a long/hard drive. It may be warm enough to remove then!

Pro Race 1.2s if you want light good looking wheels that don't cost the earth.

That's the only thing people that view it will be interested anyway. 0/10 for effort though!

Just realised this is Christopher's old one. Thought I recognised the reg. EDIT: Didn't read post #3 :tonguewink:

I think they call that Arctic Blue. Welcome to the forum :)

I think I used a junior hacksaw through the bolt and then just hammered the clamp off. Mine wasn't that bad but it was very rusty!

...and that you have been having a few battery problems and it could simply be that?

But the wanted section is the correct section for sales/swaps, not here. Please make a thread there if you are only posting because you want a swap.

Perfect!

I couldn't remember who mentioned that, that's what gave me the idea :) So it can be a common thing that? I'm happy with where it's at now. Glad I changed the lambda regardless and that the fault code disappeared on its own!

@Paul.M I loved that car! Did you sell it to a blonde girl? If not, I used to keep seeing one that looked the exact same driving around near me.

Simply awesome.

OK I replaced the pre-cat lambda sensor and nothing happened. Engine light stayed on and the spluttering was worse if anything! But, yesterday the engine light went off and it was a lot smoother at idle. Only a tiny bit spluttery. I went to the back and put my hand over the tailpipes. Only the...

The vibrations have probably shaken it out of place! The new clamp might fix it. I can't remember if the new clamp is included in the gasket/fitting kit, I don't think it is actually. Just double check your gasket isn't shot whilst you have the clamp off... good luck removing it though LOL...
