And that is that, ladies and gentlemen.
The 172 has gone to a new home, one where I hope she will be cared for as well as her last 2 owners and where she will get some proper track use. She got picked up on Saturday evening and off to her new home near Guildford.
The new owner is on the forum...
Too late, but you could have had a go fixing it yourself, about £5.

Now officially up for sale in advance of the imminent arrival of my Megane 265.

Sounds like it could be pre-cat lambda sensor. If that starts playing up it can lead to the ecu firing in too much fuel causing hesitation and lower MPG.
The trick is to slacken the big torx bolt but not remove it entirely when you come to pull the wheel off.
This way you can get the wheel loose. Then feed all the wires out the back. Then remove bolt and take wheel off.
Also stops you potentially punching yourself in the face. ;)
Well, I polished her all up yesterday and have to say she looks stunning.
For the detailing nerds out there, this was the process :
1. Power rinse
2. Meguiars Snow Foam going over all knooks and crannies with a detailing brush
3. Rinse
4. Wheels with wheel woolly and bilberry cleaner.
4. 2BM...
Thanks Chris. Polished her all up today and she looks stunning, going to be heart wrenching letting her go but I can't run 3 cars!
Yes the V6 will be staying don't worry :)
Hi John,
Thanks for the comment. I'd like to sell complete if possible as once the cage goes, so then do the harnesses and so then do the seats! I'll judge interest as a complete car and if it's not going to sell then I'll consider selling the interior parts off separately, but this would be a...
Right....it's been an absolute age since my last update and plenty has been done.
As per my last post, I went and picked up a Ktec bolt-in rear cage. It's a great design and I'd highly recommend one to anyone wanting to fit harnesses as it puts the harness bar exactly where you would want it...
Well then, in that case I would say it definitely switched on when I hit the button. Whether it needs the old double-click treatment or not I can't confirm at the moment.
Honest answer Rob...i THINK so. I've only needed it once and it did seem to work...that said I've no idea if it has the same double-click issue as once it was clear I don't know if it turned off or not.
On my V6, there's a red light in the clocks which lights up when rear windscreen heater is...
Rob, did you notice you have to "double click" the a/c button to get it to turn off an on?
I think it's to do with the ph1 having a latching switch, whereas the ph2 is momentary....
