Something like that, yeah. Insurance has got stupid high recently. Mine has gradually increased even with my NCB build up. RS Clios seem to suffer badly too.

Admiral Group are your friends (Admiral, Bell or Elephant).

How do you get these apart? Tried mine but no luck.

I remember reading about a Saxo with motorbike back box's on a while ago. I was about 15, it was a bodykit'ed Saxo 1.2 or something, and it was in Max Power magazine... Even through my teenage chav car eyes I could tell it was a bad idea back then...

2 out of 4, or 2 out of 5? You could sell your current ones on to someone looking for some cheap 15" (like me :)) and free the cash up to buy something good?

So how many of these wheels are actually buckled?

How many of them are buckled?

How much did it set you back MarkCup?

Was I imagining things, or is there also a T1-S in Toyo's range?

Rentech are about 25 miles from me, how safe is it to drive down there (motorway) seen as most of my CV grease appears to be spread in pretty patterns all over the inside of my wheel arch?

£60 for 2 Turinis is good, considering the buckled ones are good for nothing.

My front left CV boot has split so need to be replaced. Anyone know any good garages in Southampton for this kind of work? I'm in Hedge End. Cheers

Had the wheel off and the rubber boot is split :( Not got the time nor the skills to tackle it myself, what should I expect to pay for a replacement boot on the front?

"Watch those barriers, they'll only slow you down!"

So, what bit actually fails on these? Anyone got some handily annotated pictures?

:eek: I'll give them a call tonight.

So what age does this recall affect?

Let me get this straight... you are writing an official complaint because you think that their diagnosis of your car is wrong, but you cant actually prove it as you have had none of the work they suggested carried out and haven't had the issue resolved by other means? Yeah, good luck with that.

LOL at the comment in the description on the Skoda Parts site: There must be more Clio Owners buying these now than Fabia owners! Is the part number on that site (5J08070619B9) the right one to give them at a Skoda dealer to order it in?

So if its just lost a clip or slid off its a simple fix, but if its split then its a driveshaft off jobbie to replace the gator? Ill take a look and see if its split or not, and then decide what to do. Cheers guys

The car isn't used daily so no rush. Not taking it 80 miles back to my parents this weekend though. What grease will I need and where can I get it? Best to order a new CV rubber cover and clips and just replace the lot? Easy job for a non mechanic with a box of spanners? Not a guide anywhere is...

Just went to take some pictures and noticed black thick oily grease on the spokes of my wheels. On further investigation it is smeared over the inside of the wheel, around the wheel arch, over the wishbone and bottom of the damper. The CV joint rubber cover looks dry though? Where is this...

Yellow looks good, but thats not the idea. Baby sick brown is needed.

Fuchs Titan Super Synth, or whatever its called, just because its called 'Fuchs' :)

Love 2118's. Way to expensive tho :(

Yeah, Slammed's 172 looks awesome, but I think its the extra drop that does it. Not sure it would look so good with Sportlines? Do you know if there are any spacers on those wheels or are they standard 172 Ph1 wheels? If anyone wants to photoshop some black or grey 15" wheels onto my car, and...

Coilovers I take it? Tempted by some 15" for track use, but need them to be black as this hides the small size well, and also needs lowering but I doubt I can afford coilies, so will just go with Sportlines.

Very specific, I know, but does anyone know of any pictures of any Ph2 172's in Iceberg, lowered on Sportline springs (or others to a similar height) and on black or grey 15" wheels? Looking to put track aimed wheels on, and black seems to hide the smaller size well.

This is true. Every time you see pictures of a totalled super car, I am always amazed at how well the crash structures work.
