I'd fly tip them.

How does the 207 compare to the 172 performance wise. Turbos aint they?

Oh ok. Some lovely cars there. 207 is nice

Welcome along chap..where in the WM are you

What was the issue - for future reference

Yes. Unplug the ignitor on the bulb. Unclip the prongs. Remove old put new in. Reattach ignitor.

They have been retrofitted

I would say so. 8k can appear purple. Each officer IME has their own definition of the law. I did some special constable duties a couple yrs ago and it's amazing how much s**t each officer talks. Best advice is to nt stand out @Sunglasses_Ron can probably steer you right

Up to you completely what you go for of course. Traffic round here if rife so I tend to stay within the law as far as possible. Not saying they'd defo pull you but imo it's hassle i could do without

I haven't touched my full beams. As you say they arn't used that often and hardly need changing. Not sure of type as i've not changed on my 182. If I was you, i'd keep that as it is.

No idea about full beam, never changed them. Possibly h7 or h1. But xenon main beam are definitely D2S. But stick to 6k. I'm not sure of the police of your area but 8k will attract attention of traffic cops. Just not worth it. They are very blue leading into purple. Light output is irrelevant...

Oh and in terms of changing them, they are a nightmare with big hands. I have small hands and change in 2 mins flat. Other have to resort to taking the bumper off.

Dipped beam are D2S not h7 Link to them would be http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/categories/hid-xenon-bulbs/oem-bulbs-by-type/d2s Yes, there's a sensor on 172/182's. AFAIK there is no sensor on non sport variants but i may be wrong. Some variants came with xenons and may have the sensor. But the...

because its a non sport? not having the sensor etc on the rear beam. unless im mistaken?

I'd go 6k personally and get some osram 6k sidlight bulbs. that's what i run and find it perfect tbh. you won't have auto levelling no.

A daily never stays mint for long IME. Past worrying about mine. Just enjoy it.

Ps3 definitely..love mine.

Ouch. Thanks all.

Had my standard 182 alloys refurbed not so long ago. They painted the caps but being plastic it never looked 100% to begin with. The paint has started to peel and seems like false economy having them painted again as apparently as it's plastic they can never get them just so. So just wondering...

Cant say I've noticed it before tbh.

What's your experience on this @LeeRS since alex tagged u in!

From my own experiences stick to 30mm. Hth

seems worse whe stationary. when on the move i cant seem to hear it..

Whenever I get a slot with Mick I get called into work lol

Yeah sick of this f**king clio at the minute. Only niggly things but they are annoying,

Dont think so tom. it only adjusted the bracket slightly. cant see what I would of damaged tbh.

Yes mate had the wheels off today and they are definitely tight. Cannot work it out. Possibly top mounts?

Good point lol.Although no @cs_dave i could clearly see the passenger side rubbing and adjusted the arch liners to suit. But the drivers side is not so evident

So the clio has now developed a new noise to add to the list.. When turning slighty in quick sucession there is a horrid banging noise? also seems to clunk when pulling off. seems to come from the front centre although not entirely sure. The dogbone is powerflexed Any ideas chaps.
