No it wont be done at service time, technicaly it should never need re-gassed, but it does, especially if there is a leak. I had mine re-gassed and 2 pipes replaced on a 8 month old 172.. (done under warranty) its crazy that an 8 month old car could have leaks in the aircon already ! fixed...

Ye its like the difference between hydraulic power steering and electric.. electric will return better MPG but its not noticable.

You can get a 172 up the ramps, just put a block of wood under the ramps to lower the angle.

^^ what he said, its meant to make a clicking/clunk noise, when you switch it off you might here another click and a spinning down noise if you listen carfully.

Now on just over 24K, but thats over about 16 months, and it was at 5600 when I got it. [Edited by _KDF on 5/11/2004 10:56:04 AM]

Best thing to do with the Cup part of the badge ! http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1062182436__Pict0033.jpg

I would just like to say that I was one of the first (if not the first) to put the Cup 172 badge on my 172 (although just the 172 bit, dont want people thinking I have a tacky cup :devilish: ) Everyone else is just a big fat copy cat.. :p

More than 50% of the parts were changed/improved between the mk1 172 and the mk2 172.

The Fiesta Sanitry Towel looks okay but i was a little dissapointed when the said 2.0l with 150bhp ..

Yes it is hidden as standard No you dont have to cut, a lot of people have their exhaust slung under the bumper. Too much bodyroll as standard but nothing some eibachs wont sort out. Silver is the best colour.

Ye I really noticed it last summer when it was hitting 30 degrees. Felt really sluggish.

Im not gonna tell you to slow down.. but you damn well should be more observant.. heh. Hope they dont hit you too hard with the points.. you *SHOULD* be able to keep your license.

The only problem is its easy to get to silly speeds very quickly.. just dont get too confident.

if you pull the handle on the door it opens the lock anyway . So if you were concious how hard is it to pull the door handle ? you would need to do that anyway. If unconcious how hard is it for someone outside to break the window ?

If you mean will the screen work with just the xbox video then maybe, depends what imputs it has. If you are talking about using the touchscreen part to control an xbox is may be possible but difficult. You would need to chip then install linux, then you would probably need a serial->USB...

It should be one-touch.. get them to sort it !! you should only have to tap the driver control to make the window go right down. I thought they made the passenger one-touch aswell ?

hmm.. I always thought the pollen filter should have been changed.. needless to say it wasnt.. just oil, filter and air filter. [Edited by _KDF on 5/7/2004 6:53:35 PM]

on a 24k service ?? I thought the pollen filter should have been changed.

The supercharger would be far more suited to the clio I feel cause of the lower pressure and more progressive power delivery. 3.5G is almost affordable.

I wash my car once a week, and carnuba wax whenever the weather is nice.. eg about once a year :)

^^^ sounds a tad extreme.. heh but whatever works eh !

Typical ingenius woman like thinking... clothes peg.. nice one :) Ok so its slide a credit card in a pop em out.. good stuff !! sounds like an easy 5 minute job.. just got to wait and get my car back first now ..

Its a mk2 172.. do they just pop off.. how do you pop em off without scratching the paint ?

Fit clear repeaters to my clio.. Just took delivery of clear side repeaters.. how the hell do I fit em.. which way in do you go.. under the bonnet or up the arch.. :confused: Anyone got a Guide, if not... and someone explains how to do it I will write a guide with photos..

Funnily enough mine is sitting in the garage too.. lol

If the 1.2 had climate, changer, hydraulic steering and 172 interior I would have been well chuffed with the car.. cause like I said it was no slouch.. [Edited by _KDF on 5/7/2004 9:57:23 AM]

Cause my car is in for a service... and the service guy actually got it right.. he said "you in for.. a 24000 mile service? do you have a 172 or something ?" wow.. result ! Opinions on the 1.2 Not as slow as I imagined it would be, quite nippy around town. Interior is naff, dont like...
