There is no problem putting 16V badges on a Clio...it is the lame wannabees who put 2.0l badges on 1.2, 1.4 and when they get beat by a 1.6 saxo...the saxo driver then tells people he thrashed a 172/182

But although you can be buggered if you loose the key or it gets knackered...BenH you have proved nicely that they do the job...there can be nothing more devastating than someone coming out to find the wheels gone and the car sitting on bricks or worse just dropped onto the disks on the ground.

Yes you should have the locking wheel nuts for your car.. Go and see your main dealer..they just havent fitted them by the sound of it. If that fails then I would recommend buying a set of Mcgard locking bolts from Halfords

I have seen a 1.2 or 1.4 Black Clio with 172 badges and sunroof (LOL) but with chromed front grill mincing around south shields...But also seen a metallic green type clio with full 172 body kit with sunroof...again another wannabee... It is wrong to pass off a car as something it isnt, but...

Hi I dont know how big the GPS Antanne is, but if a small square thing, have you considered putting it in the corner of the back right hand side passenger window in the corner?...only if it is small enough to fit. Then you can easily run the cables along the right hand side of the car to...

Novas = Pikeys...now adays it is safe to assume that if you are a nova driver then probably your family tree does not fork LOL

Pursue it, and everyone else on here should stop putting forward namby pamby reasons why she shouldnt be prusued for damages..have you all forgotten how it is to be british or something?

Yes but the girl who crashed into his car is entitled now to a criminal record, yes it is terrible his insurance will have to hack the cost of the damage, and ultimately he will pay with increased premium next year...hopefully his no claims is protected... But too many people get away with...

RING THE POLICE You are injured, she had no tax, no insurance, no mot, not old enough...a nice fine and a good ban will crucify her when she does learn to drive... Also if you have legal protection on your policy..they will persue her direct for damages, when it goes to court and is...

Origin B2

They would of told you of their intention to prosecute you for speeding and they would of gave you a caution in the car...the producer is your get out of jail free card :)

Hi my 172 went in for a 24000 mile service with 24500 miles on the clock. The garage think the front brake pads are 90% worn and need replacing...is 24000 miles for brake replacement on a 172 normal? Please advise!!

Hi the speed camera vans in the north east do have orange lights on top.....and with the cameras at the front they can bust cars in both directions.... sorry to be the bearer of bad news....but doing 80 probably wont get you nicked for it.

172 - 145mph on the flat with two in and half tank of fuel !!! :cool:

Dave what deposit did you put down for £127 a month?

At work if someone writes on a white board with a permanent marker pen instead of the dryboard marker which rubs off...we go over the permanent pent with a dry wall board pen and it then rubs off. I think the same theory would apply to marker pen on car paint.

Richross I have a green element filter in the garage, i had it in the car for about 500 miles...it is clean and in good order..i am going to sell it for £15 plus postage It was good, I took it back out because i refused to pay Direct Line another £60 a year on car insurance. It is still in...

Actually I have been musing over the question of how good are these tyres....i have had them for 10 days now on the front with contis on the back...in the rain tonight i really pushed it on corners and rounadbouts....the steering felt sharp and no understeer, the front pressures are at...

I really do like them, better than Contis that is for certain....but i cannot compare them against eagles.....but it feels rock steady at 130mph and i have less care and worry about throwing it around corners and the Pirreli neros are the best performance tyre going.. The other tyre i...

Had Neros on the front of my 172 for the last 10 days...they are better than the Contis and certain bends are navigated at greater speeds....and i do like them It tramlines in second and now in third......rain use is ok....maybe alot of tyre benefits is in the mind....maybe i will go for the...

I can bore you with more tyre stories.....Had the fronts changed on my 172 last Thursday because the old tyres were also racing slicks.... On there now is a pair of Pirelli PZero Neros 195/45/16s. They are alot better than the continentals...havent tried them in the rain...But they take the...

CTR is a very nice car to drive, I would have one !!!

Hi Si, having the put on Thursday morning now...i didnt get them on today.... I will post back by saturday what they are like after i have done a hundred or so miles and checked tyre pressures....you should try the contis when they ahave zero tread in the wet, a real handful putting the power...

It will be nice to get things legal and above board once more.....in the rain last weekend it was like riding a bucking bronco thru the puddles on the motor, tramlining and wheelspin and aquaplaning was all in it....quite a rush at 90 lol

Hello the front tyres on my 172 are paggered after 11,500 miles... Having Pirelli PZero Neros fitted on the front for a change, the backs still have about 7 mm of tread on the contis so they are fine. just wondering what peoples views are on the Pirelli Neros :D

I use Meguiars Gold Class shampoo, the bubbles are so soft and it adds it keeps the meguiars gold class pollish in fine fettle...you will not be disappointed....make sure you have a good sponge

if the car doesnt need to be reshelled, fortunately or unfortunately how ever you look at it the insurance company will repair a car up to 60% of its value !!! This happpened to my radiant red ford puma 1.7...the damage looked massive, it never drove the same afterwards and i got rid of it...

i have my 172 running contis at 22psi at front and 20psi at back and boot full of builders sand in a big plastic tub and filled with bricks on top as ballast and it has held the road really well in the snow...went along a country road where the spindrift snow was blowing off the fields and was...
