    Steering wheel falling to bits

    Mine (02 172) is a bit worse for wear at 85k, it's a shame really as my last car, bmw 320i had done double the miles nearly and the entire interior was pretty much mint. I've thought about getting it re-trimmed, but feel reno should offer some assistance themselves for shoddy build...

    700hp RS6

    It needs more power. I'd need 800+ bhp before I'd even think of purchasing one. And then my Clio would still 'have it' in the twisties.

    Really bad tyres - your experiences please

    The original fitment (on the 172) was Continental ContiSport or something that sounds like that, these IMO are a good allrounder. Pretty good in both wet and dry, and wear well too.

    Opinions On This 172

    looks mint. get it hpi'd (obviously) and maybe get an AA inspection if you're serious about buying and something doesn't feel right. Don't know how that would work with it being on eBay and stuff. Doesn't look like an import either which would have made it less expensive (maybe). Mine's an...

    Really bad tyres - your experiences please

    IMO A539s are fine in the dry, dreadful, seriously p1ss poor in the wet. the worst I've had on my 172. Yoko's in the past I've really liked. Best tyre by far, again just my opinion is the Goodyear F1. Miles better than the Continentals and Pirellis I've had. I'd avoid the A539s and deffo...

    i get it

    I'm attached to mine too. 50k later and she's a keeper. When the motor's got no power or goes pop I'll just have to fit a new one!

    Unlocking Routers!

    well sky was fine tbh. Talk talk i know are poo, but they're cheap and we've gone from 2 meg to 8, so can't complain so far. It's her indoors who uses the home phone and pays the bill. She'll have fun! She will save loads too tho. Griff, why is it lots of people believe routers to be locked...

    Unlocking Routers!

    I had no idea Sky locked their routers, I didn't even know routers were locked/unlocked. Today my ISP changed from $ky to Talktalk, and I couldn't connect to the net via my Netgear ($ky branded router). So I did this...

    throttle problem

    Thanks for the replies. After reading a lot of threads I concluded it was probably the throttle potentiometer, I put my OBD II diagnosis kit on it yesterday and but there weren't any fault codes. It's been ok since, so I'll just see what happens. Don't really wanna fork out for one, as I've just...

    throttle problem

    twice today when starting my '02 172 the throttle hasn't functioned. It starts fine and idles fine, but the throttle has no affect on the revs! Switchin off and on again rights it. The 2nd time it happened the symbol on the dash underneath the petrol pump, the box with a pulse thing illuminated...

    Nokia Questions and Updates Thread.

    Excellent guide Tom, very helpful for the beginners out there. Wish I'd read that when I first got my N95, would have saved me reading loads of threads on loads of sites. Simply everyone must de-brand. The branded S/W is usually cr@p. Just thought I'd add that if peoples N series phones are...

    Lumber support FF 172

    Maybe just buy a cushion or specific lumbar cushion thing, sure I've seen them before. Mine still functions surprisingly after 85k.

    Don't do it!!! Use your phone to browse the internet, but not as a modem!!! They'll bankrupt you for it.

    Spraying Alloys

    I did mine the other week, it's a lot of work to make 'em look right, I sanded, prepped, primered and primered, sprayed and sprayed the lacquered the things to death. Doesn't look as good as I'd hoped, and the paint isn't hard wearing. And anthracite/peugeot cossack grey looks good cleaned and...

    PC'in for free N/W

    By the time you've paid someone you may as well have bought the kit. Using it more than twice will pay for itself it seems. I looked into it, and it's a lot of hours, so people needs £. Just a pain that it takes so long and the kits are a few hundred quid. If you had a mate who was kind enough...
