    C172 heated mirrors

    Guys, does the 172 have heated mirrors? If so, are they activated by putting the heated rear window on? None of the dew on the mirrors evaporated even long after the rear window had cleared. I wonder, what with the being a Reno, if maybe....mine are not working...;) g

    external temp gauge query

    chaps, when I started the car this morning, the ext temp gauge said it was 3degress. Oddly, the degree symbol started flashing (not the 3, just the symbol). Ive never noticed this before. Then when I got to work, it was at 4degrees, but the flashing had stopped. Is this normal? Does it act...

    cause and effect

    yesterday, I filled up the washer bottle and stupidly spilt a bit of water over the grid thing that surrounds the bottle filler neck. Anyway, about two hours later, I went to unlock Puppy and it unlocked, then locked itself again almost immediately (within seconds). Its done this four times now...

    Performance upgrade advice, no 832,918

    lo, First, for me, puppy is plenty fast enough, so not into chipping it etc (yet...). I dont want it to go any faster, but I would like to sharpen up some other things and I wondered what you thought about these performance upgrades: 1) A clutch that works. When accelerating hard and...

    Parking a C172 - Pain in the butt

    why is the steering lock so utterley uselss on these cars? I must admit, I couldnt park a Smart in an empty Millennium Dome without cocking it up, but the C172 is a real nightmate to park in a tight spot. The lock is so limited. Never mind parking - yesterday, I couldnt even get round and up the...

    is this yours....

    i hope not. Driving along the Chertsey Road this morning, I saw a huge set of skids marks going straight where the road kinks to the left.

    Clio v Volvo 740

Both lady drivers were unhurt, which is a testimony to how strong small cars are these days - surviving an impact with a big, heavy Volvo when youre...
