Dosnt really come to a conclusion, just maybe,s

While the wheels do fill the arch,s and look better, do they not ruin the driving experience, does it not make it torque steer more when you try to put the power down ?

All dampers are oil filled even gas dampers, afaik so dont be put of by that

My first 172 came on lowered apex, i just couldnt live with the hard ride, but the speed i could corner with no body roll was amazing.

When i bought my aftermarket ecu (well known make) the wiring instructions did say soldered joints not the best solution.

Thinking about replacing my very worn steering wheel but am concerned about the airbag, is it a self contained unit, does it just clip of and back on, will it still work, will it go of in my face, thanks in anticipation.

Was feeling the replies to this chap were a bit unfounded, untill he comments about 3o plus driving a clio. im 60 and drive a 172, its fun and im not dead yet, so i have to agree you are a pratt.

Less than 60,000, its exactly the colour/model/spec i wanted

Yeah on ebay , paid slightly less than the asking price, drove 150 miles home and its lovely (so far) and thers several monsters in the shed and they have eight legs.

Some missconceptions on here 50/60 isnt old (im 56) 100 is old, and once an enthusiast always an enthusiast, when current i drove modded mg midget, ford anglia, escort mexico, rs2000, dolomite sprint, 205 gti and just sold my phase 1 172 so i can afford to spend some money on my modded mk1 golf.

that sounds like an idea

Actually is it possible to ruin the fob by putting the battery in back to front because in all honesty my wife replaced it and wasnt sure which way it came out, but have since tried it both ways without success

As far as i can tell , did look when replaced the battery but as i said its all foreign to me,

Cars back and no light lighting up on the key fob so guess thats the problem,

No, that was the first thing i tried to no avail.

Yes it all works on the button by the gear stick, but no i dont think anything lights up on the key fob although i dont have it here to check at the moment.

This has never worked on my daughters 1.1 s reg phase2 clio, while doing the h/gasket was no problem i dont even understand how pressing a button makes something work several feet away. Can anyone give me any pointers how to remedy this, cheers. Oh and the cars not really woth spending money on...

Similiar car, sounds like i have a similiar problem, dont hear it inside the car, but audible when standing at the front.

Went out tonight and the above lights went out, warning lights still worked, 30 mile journey and they stayed of, about 5 miles into return journey they came back on and stayed on. Is this one of those common clio faults?, cheers

ok mate, will keep it then

I have a new unused one that i purchased but didnt need, £12 posted if your interested, save going out in the cold.

Nice, looks exactly like mine did before i dumped the sport body kit, i do much prefer the phase one front end i must admit

cut the bumper or fit a stealth, looks like an after thought when they protrude underneath.

Just before xmas something flew up and whacked my screen (hell of a bang) and i now have a 2 foot crack.If i had a spare screen and they were rubbered in it wouldnt be a problem. Also the price of a new one, i have seen new ones advertised on ebay for £50 but not local to me, so before i have a...

I have never studied this area but assuming there is a one piece metal tube inside the bush that is a tight fit inside the mounting points when the bolt is tightened then any movement under normal driving would be difficult i would think, as the one tight fitting hole would suffice.

Cleaning the bay wont make the car faster or more economical so why bother? surely more for posing than driving.

i tend to run older cars and have never experienced abs before, but this snow has changed that, feels wierd but now i just brake and dont worry.

A spring with a coil cut of and the end reformed is not going to discolate anymore than a similiar length apex/eibach or any other spring, common sense is the name of the game by not cutting of too many coils.

Changing the head gasket on my daughters 1200 8 v clio, the haynes says no 1 cyl is next to the flywheel, is that right? every car i have done so far no 1 has always been the opposite end to the flywheel, thanks.
