I'm having a mare with mine too, noisy as and my auto function would wipe 3-4 times quickly then stop for a while then go again.
I'm going to take the wipers off at the weekend and also try and clean the auto wiper sensor.
Do you guys not have the likes of Crash Services (https://www.crashservices.com/) on the mainland? They're fantastic. The moment someone bumps you, give them a call and they sort everything out from start to finish at no cost to yourself.
Mine's an early 2002 172 and it has the full undertray. I'm guessing someone has left yours off, I only ask as that could be a mounting point that you pointed out.
I'll jack mine up when I get back from work and take a pic for you.
Excellent, cheers man.
PS: Anyone looking a better induction hose than the Ktec, this one is only £49 and has the breather pipe.

My Fatty with the metal ASH pipe and large Ramair filter sounds ridiculous. I'm tempted to replace it with a standard airbox.
What's this bit called? I tried searching on eBay with no luck.

BenQ are the best for gaming in my opinion.
If you're wanting to spend the top end of your budget i'd be picking between these ones -
27", 240hz, Freesync and zeroframe. - £275
Acer XF270HA
24.5" version of the above monitor - £239 (I prefer 24-25 inch for gaming)
Acer XF250QA
24" BenQ ZOWIE...
Cars, bikes and computers are my main hobbies, I tend to nerd out on them all a little too much, lol.
@imprezaworks You can download a program called Calibrize that I use to calibrate my main monitor (it's an IPS panel). The problem with TN panels is that the colours appear washed out, it's...
If that's the case, grab a lower end Acer or ASUS 24" 144hz monitor. I hate the word futureproofing but if you buy him one now, theres less chance you'll be replacing it when/if he upgrades his PC.

Buy that, I have it in my spare room...
What games does he play and what are his base specs on his system?
I'm only asking as if he has a basic system, he wouldn't really benefit from a 144hz+ screen.
I run a Korean brand monitor for viewing videos and browsing, it's a 'Crossover' branded screen. They buy Grade A screens that are...
Ah crap. Hopefully I haven’t bought the wrong thing then. I asked on the cliosport fb page and someone recommended this:

The handle of my 172 wouldn't screw in properly, so I tried a self tapper with a slightly coarser thread. When I went to screw it in, the plastic nut/thing the screw goes into snapped off and fell into the door.
Any idea how I could fix this? The handles now completely hanging off.
Cheers.
I'll be tackling those in a few days when I see how these hold up. I really want to do the radio and climate control but it would ruin them.
The passenger side needs done again as there's a few bits I've missed. You only really notice it when they're dry.
I've only had my 172 a few days, but the interior trim was really getting on my nerves. I've seen a few but mine was by far the worst I've came across.
After searching through the forums for an answer, everyone seemed to either be stripping them completely and respraying them or else replacing...
My mk2 ph2 Iceberg Silver 172 needs a new bonnet, it looks like someone left something on the slam panel and closed the bonnet on it, denting it outward.
Question is: Did any of the entry level Clios (non-sports) share the same paint code?
I've been googling it all morning and couldn't find an...
