£170 for rear discs :eek:. Mine still have plenty on them, stock are 10mm thick, and mine are at over 9mm so no worry yet, was just going to upgrade the pads to EBC Greens (£28 for rear set). Braided hoses is also an option at only £50 for all four but a mate of mine deemed these pointless as...

After changing my front brakes to Brembo HC and EBC Green's and getting a great improvement in braking performance I am tempted to upgrade the rear to at least EBC Green Stuff Pads. The Q is how much load do the rear brakes take ? Can I swap the solid discs out without swapping the...

25 - £560 Fully Comp, 5 years NCB put pending claim (not my fault but still goes against you) will be under £500 once its settled.

Standard sounds like the way to go then for what i need... But which one of the four mounts do i need ?

I think one of my engine mounts might be on its way out, i dont get knocking under hard acceleration, but if i let off at around 5500 rpm the engine does move a bit and i do get a bit of vibration through my gearstick. Been reading through the posts on here, and it seems there are 3 engine...

Do a search, theres a tyre poll thread which has loads of opinions on.

Been doing a bit of searching, seems Xenons have two fitments.... D2S and D2R Ebay price ranges from £45 upwards per pair plus postage Other online stores looking at £69....

Not Posh, Nor trampy. Middle Class - on the drive!

Are all Xenons the same fitment? or are they like Halogen (H4 & H& etc)

Apparently it can be done without bumper off, but i think thats the easiest way to do it....

Id be interested in upgrading my bulbs from 4300k (guessing standard is 4300k?) to 6000k. Where can i get some from ?

I had a look at the Pug206Gti180 before i bought the 172. It was swift, but not quick. Much preffered the 172 which is why i bought it. 206 felt massive inside, the windscreen is huge!

R32 all the way, my mate used to have one. Them Konig leather seats are awesome, and the noise from the engine is good.

Already got a bottle of Castrol Super Dot 4. Where's the best place to get Brembo's and Green Stuffs from ?

Hi all, Need to swap out my front discs and pad's, would you replace with standard parts or uprated? Read some mixed reviews about Brembo Disc's and also some of EBC Green Stuffs... The car is for road use only, and rare "spirtied driving".... What's the most cost effective way to get...

Cool - will WD40 up the nipple before hand, should be ok. Got myself some Castrol Response Super Dot 4 at £9.90 per litre.

Also.... Anyone had problems removing bleed nipples ?

Castrol SPF Plus Dot 4 - for standard use ? Around £10 a litre, is this what people use ??

This is a very smart looking Aerial. Where can i get one of these from ? Also is radio reception still good ?

Its some special edition, 1.8T engine, 240bhp IIRC ??? Someone correct me if im wrong

Private plate as above, think you had a sticker of some sort on the side window (drivers side). I was in the Black 172 myself.

Outside temperature is fine, always correct (well there abouts!) So maybe it is the temp sensor in the internal light housing. Is that the thing that the fan can get noisy on ? Sure I've seen some posts about that somewhere!

Ok so my climate control seems to have some issue which i will try and describe. Cold Air is Fine. Anything from mini to 21 is fine. However, I only get any real heat out of it when its on maxi. As soon as i drop it to 26 it feels like it drops about 10 degrees! However, if i have the window...

My 172 does this, only when i wash it (or at least thats the only time i notice) I just whack my xenons on whilst i dry the car and it soon clears it.

Re: 98 octane petrol!!! Sainsburys Super FTW... 97Ron. 106.9p per litre (2p dearer than 95Ron)

Are they dreaming or smoking dope when they put the signs up. Just seen at my local Renault - 04 Black 172, Very Good Condition, unknown mileage as its still waiting prep etc..... £7,999!!!! As if they'll ever get anywhere near £8,000 for that. I paid £6,000 for mine on a 53 with 23k!

2003 53 172FF - 26k

Ordered the parts from the stealers now, absolutley spot on with the part numbers, but the prices must vary between dealers!! Rear - £18.23 + VAT (£21.42) Centre - £5.85 + VAT (£6.87)

Cheers, thats pretty much what mine looks like. Cracking cheers for your help.

Just been looking under my car and the hanging bolt and rubber bush thats supports the standard back box, to me seems to have perished beyond belief! The reason i did this was when i was four up with a boot full, i was getting noticebly more exhuast noise, from seeing what ive seen today i think...
