Right, so it seemed to resolve itself (must have been water somewhere?) but I'm left with the wee engine light on the right lower part of the binnacle What's that about then? Jj

Ok, Clio was fine this afternoon....started in and gave it a real good wash. Went to start it tonight and it revved straight up to 3000rpm....at this stage the accelerator did nothing. The dash showed the wee sqaure with the zig zag line through it. After it warmed it eventually got...

And its worth every single penny of the 10 bob you will pay Jj

Second opinion....immediately. Who told you this? was it Reno? Has it been on a diagnostic machine? What colour is the service light etc. Possible Lambda sensor/coils or a problem with the plugs though i dont think they would throw a light. Maybe they borked the coils (assuming they...

You'll never get 10-12 bhp on a N/A 1.2........ No way Jj

Perfect, Wee bit coarse but i think thats a french trait when im used to hondas revving like its natural. It also has a KTec Stealth adding some buzzes. i dont notice any of these heavier vibrations when driving Has the usual flat spot from 2-4.5k then goes again Jj

Anyone else, im worring now (yes, i know its french, i should get used to it) A

Come on man, dont scare the s**t out of me like that......in what way do you mean? I suspect the mounts are a bit crap, i replaced the upper gearbox mount and will be doing the dogbone shortly, but hadnt planned on changing the upper engine one or lower gearbox one. Jj

Strange title i know but thats the only way i can really describe the feeling When im sitting stationery, neutral etc and rev the engine up slowly, once the car gets to around 3.5k rpm it feels almost as if something is out of balance in the engine. There is a notable shake. Id nearly say it...

Can i just clarify, what part of teh ball joint is measured as being 12mm? Jj

Hmm, now.....ok....... I dont know LOL The first ones i bought fould the ABS rings so NWPerformance took them back. The supplied ones that looked exactly the same as the old ones. Didnt measure the diameter though tbh. They seemed fairly snug fitting in the bottom holes like. (i.e. a...

So, When i got bonk, following what i read here, i started into giving the suspension a bit of an over haul. I replaced the top mounts on both front shocks, replaced the track rod ends and bottom ball joints, replaced the front srpings (one of them was broken) and plopped a new KYB gas shock...

Just another frog box thing then........lol...........thanks for the responses anyway chaps.... A

Proper Cio 172 xenons or ebays finest?

Umm....because it didnt change the level one bit when i made the car shift angle and the lights were on.... I just pulled up the drive and thought id never noticed it when on other cars I had... JJ

Hey, Just thought i would check... I was wondering how sensitive the auto levelling system of these headlights is? I know in our BMW, if you so much as fart by the car and knock it off level, the lights adjust immediately and constantly. SO tonight i went out and hiked the car in reverse...

I'm sure the STD vale one is more than up to it as above. Prolly take more beating than the box IMO

Could be both chap like mine.... ?? Just a thought. Jj

So, I posted a pic of my exhaust a while ago querying its origins and was told that it was just a plane Jane aftermarket one.....kwik fit or summat....seller knew nothign about it etc. Since it was a snorty wee number, I thought I would drop Bex in Ktec a few pics.... ... ... And she...

Would the rear bearings be a weak link on this car? I have never had to change a bearing on a car in my puff....the last car i had for 10 years yet my 172 sounds like BOTH rears are gone Jj

I suppose......but if thats the case..............thats bad

I dont doubt that lad.....

Is there such a thing as a tooth out on floating pulley motors?

Did nobody ask Reno for discount? They quoted me something daft at first and i told them that was too much and id get it done elsewhere. They called back shortly later and literally nabbled a couple of hundred off the price Jj

ANy chance this could be a car that needs a speedo sensor thats had a new box, abs type before you bought it?

Jimbo, what diagnostic system did you use?

The Reno clip system.....think it's the dealer££hip one

LAAAAAD, don't say that.... Is clip the only machine that'll do? Would rstuner be a good start?

Are these common things to fail? Would these cause the heavy puffs from the exhaust every couple of seconds?

Bonk
