Ok well in the 172 ive got loads of leads from a nokia phone kit doesnt fit my phone so its out, but the steering wheel controls now dont work as the wires went to that aswell sooo...
has anyone got any pics of the upper dash display workin with a alpine headunit?

The exhaust is exactly what i wanted not too much sound, but provides exactly the right note and im glad the previous owner chose that one!
Really am debating speedlines now!
Ryan
isnt there a post which says which are the best all rounders for the 172 and the eagle f1s are the best?
Ive only bought f1s for my previous car and there probly best tyres ive had, although the 172 has conti sports on and in a dilemma as to which to buy next?!
Ryan
Cheers people exhaust is really good adds that little note but not too much!
really could do with clay bar treatment so hopefully thatll be next week if the weathers okish!
the drive compared to the mk1 is completly different, i think coilovers will be a nice addition but not just yet, i wanna...
Well after owning a mk1 for exactly 4 years to the very day i said good bye to my faithful friend..........................never let me down once!!!

do it 40mm at the rear so youve got 15mm higher at the rear, handles the nuts plus id upgrade the shocks if i was with you!!

Ok so its time for clay bar session on the new car, ive got a meguiars one but obviously been used so need another one, wheres cheapest?as halfords last time i looked was £22 or something silly!!
Ryan
kind of?hard to judge, started my mates 172 up earlier made the same noise so think its normal
that sounds too high pitched but hey im confident its ok!
as i put the ignition on a noise comes from the bay like a motor is trying to go really hard to explain, like eeee eeee eeeee eeee then stops once u start the engine, or itll stop after 3/4 times?
is it common or does anyone actually understand what i mean?

i wouldnt bother, unless he has proof what was fixed and its all straight, offer him 3k and see what he says as theres a few about with say 50k on going for around 4200, i nearly bought one last year without know and neither did the guy selling and im glad i didnt!!!
you can never be sure what...
non they all look silly, surely the factory oz are alot better, well compared to the mickey mouse ones you've put up, multispokes look too much and the black and red doesnt really go, thats my 2p's worth!
When looking for a new car are you put off by alot of previous owners?
Was having a discussion with a mate we came to conclusion that if the service history stacks up then shouldnt really matter?
Whats peoples views?
say 04 182 with already 3 owners (this is made up by the way)
