Im just wondering if those people who have traded in their 172 could put down how much they got for it. If you could also state what reg the car was and when you traded that would be good also.:) Trying to work out what sort of real world trade in value I could expect on an 02 172...

Theres a RWYB on Sunday that me and a mate are thinking of going to. Just want to know if anyone went down last week and if so were there many people there or was it dead?? cheers Rick

Now then ICE lovers, Im after some suggestions on a new setup Ive got planned for the 172. I listen to mostly rock and metal in the car so Id like a system that suits that. Its all going to run off a Pioneer mp77 for now, but the rest of the gear will be new. The budget will probably be around...

Or vice versa I suppose. For various reasons Im probably going to get rid of the 172 next year. Im looking at getting something cheaper that I can afford to modify. The Williams is one of the options Im looking at (another possible is a valver with a 2.0 unit which I could really go to town...

Wheres the best place to lift the front corner up using a trolley jack? Im reluctant to use the standard point on the sill as Im concerned about damaging it. Also, where should I position an axle stand once the car is up? I can see a couple of points under the car which I think should be...

Preferably a Dell one? We might be getting offered these through a HCI scheme at work. Just wondering if anyone owns one or had any experience with them? Alternatively can any recommend a better alternative? Like to the dell one here...

If I was to get my current standard alloys painted up in an anthracite type colour with a silver edge, would my insurance premium go up? (Im currently with Admiral btw.) Id have thought this is a cheaper option than buying after market alloys from an insurance perspective. Has anyone got any...

Im hoping to land a new job next week, but the only downside is the route to the office goes through about ten miles of road with these average speedd traps on them. For some completely gay reason, this road is 50mph even though half of it is dual carriage-way! So, given that its a 50mph...

As some of you may know, I crashed my 172 three months ago. The insurance company eventually decided to repair it. The bodyshop who are repairing the car ordered the parts on the 18/08/2004. All arrived quickly apart from a roof skin which went onto factory back order. Two months have since...

Had an incident in the 172 not so long ago which, among other things, requires a new roof skin to be fitted. The bodyshop that are dealing with it say that this is on factory back order and they can give absolutely no idea how long it will take to arrive. At first he was saying it could be three...

Has anyone had any experience with these through their insurer? As I understand it, after 10 months you essentially have one years no claims bonus. But will other companies still recognise this as a full years no claims or doea it only apply to the company issuing it? A full year is about...

I got my car lowered ages ago and its never sat level, i.e one side is higher than the other. 1. http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1082401767__pic1.jpg 2. http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1082401796__pic2.jpg Picture one is how I want it to be, picture 2 shows...

Ok this isnt your usual whos the cheapest bollox... My RT is insured until mid July with LV. This is my first year of insurance on the car so I dont have any NCD yet. I basically want to get a quicker car, possibly a valver or similar, but LV wont insure me cos Im 20. They will only give me...

Does the £200 Cup option for the new 182 include low profile tyres? cheers Rick

Just been getting a couple of quotes off elephant.co.uk Do they allow you to pay monthly? It doesnt seem to say whether you can or not on their site. cheers

Can someone please tell me what year/model had colour coded side strips? My ph1 has crap black ones and I want to change them for something a bit nicer. Any help much appreciated cheers Rick

The Questions in the title really!:) Thanks

Ok, I really need to replace my slow, noisy, uncomfortable RT. I was originally gonna go for a valver but the insurance is too expensive. So Im gonna go for something newer and a bit nippier. My other choices are VTR, Zetec-s or the aforementioned 1.6 16v. It would be the mk2 ph1 cos the ph2 are...

As the title says really!

Can someone tell me what the Hill Power stage two conversion consists of. Ive been looking on Auto Trader at some valvers and theres one for sale (suprisingly cheap) with a 2ltr Stage 2 conversion. Is it basically just fitting a 2ltr bottom end from a Williams/Megane or is there more to it...

...its my car. Looking to sell pretty soon but Im not sure what sort of price to put it up at, and what I can expect to get. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/billhemsley/clio.jpg Spec is as follows: 1.4 engine - Ramair filter and Piper S/S Backbox 15in wheels, uniroyal rainsport tyres (about 6...

I this the time of year when companies start to release new stock??? If so, does that mean you can get decent savings on last years models. The reason I ask is cos Im after a new Head Unit, but if I can get one of last years models for a lot less then thats what Ill do!! Rick

Im currently installing a system my mates car and tomorrow were going to set up his two subs. Hes got two JL Audio 8in W3 subs and a mono Directed Audio amp (Think its 600W RMS). I think the subs are dual voice coil jobbies, how do I go about wiring this little lot up. Do I go straight from the...

Ive got an amp with about 175W RMS. At the moment its running a 12W0 JL Audio sub. Im after something thats going to be tighter and louder!! Ive been thinking about a W3 but I thought Id get you opinions first. What are Rockford Fosgate subs like at this price?? Any advice much appreciated. Rick

I was on the way to the Midlands Meet when my car basically just slowed and then stopped altogether!! Feels like its out of fuel but I filled up to the top the night before. It didnt feel too good for about half a mile before that and then it just stopped!! I havent really had a chance to look...

Are these any good?? A friend of mine has just bought some for his car but were waiting for an amp to arrive before we can hook them up. Seem to be very well built but they should be for £220 which is what he paid. I cant remember what exact model they are other then that theyre 165mm diameter...

Does anyone know where you can buy a sub box for two 8inch subs? Preferably somewhere that does mail order. Ta Rick

Was driving through Lincoln after dropping someone off and it drove past whilst I was stuck at some lights. Saw it in the rear view mirror first and noticed that it looked modified and then when it drove past I saw the RS02 HOT plate that you see in all the mags. Have to say I liked the look of...

OK, a mate of mine wants to get a sub and amp for his Mondeo. Its the 5 door version rather than a saloon, hes currently got some 6x9s at the back and some uprated speakers in the doors. Only problem is hes only got £300 to play with. This has to include a box and wiring kit as well as the sub...
