blimey i thought from your thread title you found out youd caught a dose :D

ok just looked it up in the handbook (mk2 version), the stop light light up with either - oil light (check your level), temp light (check coolant level and temp gauge), brakes (!) (check pads) or battery (er check battery) Steve make sure your brake pad sensor (if fitted) is plugged in ok as...

wish id cancelled then reordered somewhere else.... how does the headlight come out? might be easier that way?

some tyres stick out a bit more than others even though the sizes are the same. Best way to check to see if it is your tyres rubbing is to use some chalk on the tyre edges/ corners , have a drive then look to see if any chalk has been rubbed off ;)

on my previous cars if the stop light came on when driving it meant the brake pads were getting low, most cars have built in sensors on the pads

Cant belive it!!!!!!!!! my 2nd remote stopped working this morning............... opened the car ok, drove to work and it wouldnt lock, i had to lock the car using the button on the dash then lock the drivers door with the key? went out later on and it still didnt work, opened using the key so...

Demon tweeks and other similar places sell funnels to extend the filler pipe, they also sell replacement fuel caps which you screw onto wider arches (ooh nice alloy ones)

going back to standard quiet system, looking for £80

wider tyre = more road noise + slightly heavier steering which will affect handling slightly

in Huddersfield theres a company called Wood Autos who sells this type of stuff to public and trade

did you order them from silvertec? i did last week and got an email saying they were out of stock for 3 weeks :(

well i could smooth it down and use paint to colour code it ;)

im selling my magnex in the next couple of weeks (twin 3.5" pipes)

i also made a mess of the key when seperating the 2 bits, bloody thing wouldnt slide as per pic in manual so i prised it apart and took a chunk out of it :(

Cheers, dont know why it stopped working though the light was still flashing

most bodyshops use stickoflex, not sure where to get it though you could try your local b/shop, they should sell you a tube

Well everythings been fine with my remote locking until yesterday, locked the car as usual in the morning, unlocked it later on, drove home and tried to lock it and nowt.... the remote wouldnt work so i tried to lock it with the key and the central locking wouldnt work? The spare works fine so...

is the exhaust a 1 piece still? didnt know they had 2 cats, i know of the one in the downpipe :confused:

i had my cat replaced under warranty last week, i was told on the monday theyd order 1 the next day, on tuesday i was told it was on back order and it could be 1-3 weeks before they got it, friday morning i got a call to say the cat was at the dealers. Dont worry back order parts could only be...

To get the stereo to work with the ign off you just need to connect the switched live (yellow wire) to the constant live (red wire) with a scotcklock The hu should illuminate when switched on anyway, shouldnt need the lights on

you can buy "reducer pipes" which will allow 2 different diameter pipes to fit together

did you get the pics ok? you could take the system to your local exhaust fitter or powerflow dealer to get it welded (cost about a tenner) and they should be able to fit it to your car

Where did you run the cable through the bulkhead Mathew? i cant see any spare grommets

not sure about a 172 zorst to be honest, it is possible to remove / refit a 1 piece standard zorst by lowering the rear axle, i found it easier to cut it when it was removed and use a metal sleeve to join the 2 halves back together when i had it refitted

Most 172s if not all with alarms have ultrasonic sensors on the windscreen pillars (look like small microphones)

When i fitted a magnex to my 172 the standard system was cut near the rear axle. When i had the standard one refitted a sleeve was used to join the 2 together again. I had a cat replaced last week with the magnex still on the car, this made no difference, dealers dont seem to mind non standard...

hmm might see if the non renault one will fit in the renault bracket under the seat, should be the same size. Did you run a permanent live directly to the battery as the handbook says for the hu or use the iso block?

got my paperwork through 2 days later, all ok

I have an Alpine tda 7587r headunit with a 6 disc changer, the clio however also uses an Alpine changer. Is it possible to buy an adapter so i can use the factory changer with my Alpine h/u and is there an adapter to connect the h/u to the steering wheel control? cheers
