Is it possible/easy/cheap to convert let's say my phase 2 172 to 4 wheel drive. There is too much power going through the wheels when road surface condition is less than perfect. I just want to be able to floor it from stand still and go, without having to be too fussy with throttle control. I...

:( I have had it up on ramp in kwik fit and my mate said the baffle or whatever has gone in the exhaust. So said I should take it back to renault for replacement. It sounds fooking awful, I was wondering what it was for ages, but its definitely the exhaust. Its getting worse, only used to...

Is my car worth ? 172 53 plate 2years old last month. 25,000 miles fsh. New tyres Michelin PE2s all round. CD changer. Standard except for colour coded top grill, SMT6 chip + remap for viper kit and cold air feed. Paying off loan this week, so just curious what its worth.

I would like to know because I can either have AC on or off. Does having it on switch a heater on to heat up the car quicker? Or does it just use engine heat?

any ideas please? Having heard how important tyre pressures are, I wanna invest in one.

every time I go round a really sharp corner these two lights come on. a quick fiddle with the handbrake while moving and they turn off, only started happening yesterday. what could it be please?is it serious?

I get it from 3000 upwards through the revs. It doesnt sound normal. sounds like something is loose, when i plant my foot on the throttle, engine sounds lovely, but hold the revs at any point above 3000 in second or third and it sounds like its in pain. What could it be, it seems to be getting...

Just been given two really expensive looking bits of equipment. One is a video phone jobby, with auto tracking camera, voice etc.... SONY PCS-1500P and a document scanner thingy........... SONY PCS-DS150P I have had a look at current sony ones and they are selling at around £4500! How...

just bought one, need advice on best places to fit or any other little things that are useful. cheers.

Been offered a car for 3000. Is it worth it? x reg 172 btw.lol

I want to start buying and selling, and repairing clios to start with. Best way to learn about them i think. Got any tips for where to buy, plus what cars are the easiest to source and repair. Not looking for major repair jobs just the simple stuff to begin with. Also not looking to make...

link need to get new front discs and pads soon as mine are scored all round.

I am starting to wish these are banned............. A police radar gun fires out a radar/laser, then.....................a radar/laser detector in the unit calculates the speed. so if they are banned wouldnt that mean the end of speed cameras etc............??????????????? This is from an...

Just want a quick go on one to see what power increase I have gained with my viper and SMT6. any good places around the midlands, wolverhampton or telford area preferably.

I travelled to Cambridge to get a cheaper service than Renualts and Andy fitted a SMT 6 chip and installed my viper properly for me as well. OMG OMG, its soooo much better now. No cash left now though. I know what is meant by drivability now, if anyone wants a chip go see Andy, best service...

what revs are safe for the gearbox, is around 5000 ok? and do you slowly bring clutch in or just release completely?

For nobblebonce and anyone else who is interested, had a go at doing it today, and am really happy with the result of a colour coded grill. will post pictures when it stops raining. 1) Start by removing the two black fasteners, on the left and right of the top part of the grill...

I was thinking if i built a switching unit, would two work?

Is it possible to stick one in my 172 or are they controlled by the ecu in a V6.

put the viper on today, havent got the cold air feed on yet. I find that pulling away in first is shite. Will this change if I mounted the feed to the bumper, or is this a permanent thing? I used to struggle to hold on because of torque steer and the g's, but its not pulling as hard as the...

Whats the best paint and filler to use? Gonna start making the engine bay look purdy, gotta start somewhere.lol.

bought a grill of someone on here and need help fitting it, had some advice about just unclipping the grill, but looks like the bumper needs to come off, which screws? plus are there any clips I'll break if not careful, any special way of removing it? got a 2003 172 btw. thanks.

want to start off with the cheapest mod. Any good places in the midlands that do a decent job? Dont want to use the rolls of tinting film, seems a bit toooo cheap.

:S I'm buying this grill and need help fitting it. This is my first diy jobby on the car and have no idea how to do it. Anyhelp would be appreciated.

Just wanna make the car a little louder, and add a little power. I was thinking induction kit and exhaust, but I'm no expert. What combination would be good? I do alot of motorway mileage so will need something quiet while cruising at 70.

Dont know how to use photoshop yet. I was wondering what my car would look like on 182 cup alloys and with dark tints? I think the tyres need some air in too, the rear one had 0 psi in when I went to check a couple of hours later.:S

Only had car about 5/6 weeks, but now have been offered a good loan deal, same amount of money as car is costing me , but about £20/month cheaper, plus I can buy private and cheaper now. I paid 9000 for my 53 plate 172 with 20k on the clock, dunno if this was worth it, but just bought it on...

followed closely by a silver vw. about half one today.

I was playing about with tyre pressures earlier and my rear passenger side was zero! And my mpg started at about 40 a few weeks ago, and has now gone down to 27.2, would this be the cause of it? My driving style hasnt changed at all over this time period. or should i look elsewhere. I'm so...
