Clio 172 cup. Says its making a noise from release bearing but there is a new clutch with the sale.
Says he will take £700 cash if bought this weekend. Worth a look for someone...
Hi guys,
So, I have been working with vinyl graphics for some years now and am thinking about getting a set up in my garage to hydro dip car parts.
What I'm looking for is someone in the know how to get this up off the ground and what I will need to get started.
Obviousley im not going all...
so ive just been out cleaning the car etc and was having a nosey around at random things.
I remember the guy telling me that it had all the bushes uprated and mounts etc.
the first one I checked was the dogbone mount and it was purple so I guess that is a powerflex one?
where else and what am I...
you know what I mean, the stuff what surrounds the window controls and the little compartments on the dash.
what do you use to clean it?
I wiped a microfibre cloth across the dash and its stuck little furry bits all over it and now I cant get them off. Very annoying!
when I pull off the drive.. Maybe a half lock either way I get a "knock". Sometimes it does it as I'm slowing down to a junction aswell but its not every time.
if say, I'm doing a 3 point turn it will do it on the first turn of the wheel but wont do it on the next.
I have checked for any play in...
started the car up this morning and the battery light and stop light stayed illuminated. I gave it a rev and they both went out, thought nothing of it but then noticed after it started raining that my wipers seemed to be slow (if that makes sense?)
the fastest setting seemed to be like the first...
hi.
looking for the best dashcam for a cheapish price.
have had 2 gopros now and broke both of them. (motocross).
I could buy another one and it be safe inside the car but don't really want to spend loads to just record scenic drives etc.
higher res and good sound of course is a must. Ideally a...
Me and @N4TH4N are meeting up at the Bentley Bridge Retail Park (Nickelodeon pub) tomorrow evening if anyone fancies popping along.
Would be nice to put a face to some more names on here. Havent decided a time yet as it depends who is interested.
@Addicted @samuels (ibizaboy)
right I'm a bit confused here.
Can somebody who knows for a FACT what the 98ron map does reply please.
ive just taken my car out to get some fuel etc and while on a long dual straight I planted it in 2nd gear and hit the limiter at 7.5k done the same in third, planted it and hit the limiter at...
To somehow keep my custom system but just have it stealth instead of a chavvy tailpipe hanging out the back?
I don't want to lose the tone it gives off but just lose the visible tailpipe.
its a longlife system fitted where Charlie at prospeed used to work so its decent.
I'm taking it that this is what I need:

what is the map it cones with? I'm wanting the 98ron map but I'm a bit confused what it comes with.
right, so as the title really... Sort of.
2 days ago I pulled off the drive as I normally do, drove down the road a bit and felt the car slowing down a lot faster than normal so I thought I hadn't released the handbrake fully, I had. I could smell the burning from the brakes so I turned to go...
so, the weather is half decent today so was going to give the car a going over, then realised I need some poorboys black hole.
obviousley, I can get it online from various places but I could do with going to a shop to get it.
are there any that do?
I like how this fills up the gap at the front of the bay.
want to get my hands on one but unsure of what it is. Looks like a ph1 box to me but I'm not to clued up on them.
also, while I'm here mat aswell ask...
what colour would you go in the bay on a black car?
Who's going from round here?
I'm thinking of attending both but for a 1 day ticket only as I'm usually to busy over weekends to camp over.
Just wondering who I can meet up with at either of these.
The last 2 mornings I have got to my car and pressed the keyfob to unlock, pulled the handle and its still locked.
Now I'm sure I locked the car the night before on both occasions but it seems to be unlocking itself?
ive read a few posts about this but didn't come across any explanation (except...
think this belongs here... Feel free to move.
does anyone else have an 04 172 with no cruise control?
I'm curious as I thought all had it after 2004?
was wondering if it had a new wheel fitted without the controls or something as its in mint condition?
Hi guys, not got time to trawl through posts as im at work and rushing around. Has been asked before im sure.
Do PH2 CUP shocks fit a PH2 172 NON CUP? As in pick them up, put them on, jobs a good'en. Just wondering incase I need to replace mine so would rather uprate to the cup shocks if they fit.
ok, so its time to start looking for a new exhaust as the one on mine is just chavvy and I want a decent system.
what am I looking for?
a system that is not to loud but nice and raspy when under load. More of a rasp than a boom if that makes sense?
secondly, I'm unsure weather to have a cutout...
who on here, or who are recommended on here in the west mids to paint alloys?
they are in mint condition so don't need a refurb, just want them painting white.
cheers.
quick question.
does it turn sidelights on and then headlights as it gets darker?
or is it not that clever of a feature?
have only just found out I have them so just wondered how sensitive they are as I live in an area with a lot of small lanes so I do use sidelights pretty early on.
especially...
looking to get me some cooksport springs for the 172 (non cup)
my questions are;
the previous owner has had ktec topmounts fitted which leads me to believe he may of changed the shocks to cup shocks. However he may not have so how do I tell the difference between standard and cup shocks?
also...
Thought i would get a thread going to share my experiences with you guys and for future reference to look back on.
Bought car October 2014.
49,800 miles.
FSH, very tidy.
kumho tyres, ktec top mounts, stainless exhaust (not sure on brand but nice tone)
They are mods I noticed while checking the...
have only just noticed while messing around under the bonnet that I have ktec topmounts. Its still got the standard suspension setup so what, if any preference suits these topmounts best?
I'm not looking to slam it as my driveway is sloped but want a nice subtle stance that is visibly noticeable...
have got a noise coming from passenger side xenon light when ignition is turned on.
sounds like an electric motor turning.
I think its the leveling mechanism constantly adjusting from what I can think.
I have just had some engine work done so it could of got knocked.
just wondered if anyone else...
