Cheers, boomy I do not need in my life, I had enough of that with my old 172 stealth!

I would check the above first just to be sure, could be a simple explanation :)

If you want it quieter - do as Martin said and change the centre section or put the cat back on. If you want a visual change then swap the backbox for a stealth (or whatever you like) or do both ?

Have you had any other symptoms leading up to this? Sounds like a classic misfire to me, have you recently got the engine / plugs / coils wet?

I have a cat back system, out of curiosity how does a decat alter the sound of the cat back exhaust? Louder? Raspier? Does it give a real world difference to drive ability ? Or is it a placebo? Cheers

Try just pressing the "+" then as i think it may cancel itself if you press "-", thats just from memory, i have only used mine probably 4-5 times myself

Yep as already said, it should be a case of dismantle and take to a garage and pay £10 (roughly) a side for them to press the old one out and to press a new one in.

Given the definitions above as already said the issue is because it went to Renault - they will obviously be aware that it is standard on the vehicle. Take it to a trusted MOT place and you will be fine ;)

Re cruise control, have you flicked the little button to the lower right of your steering wheel to activate cruise? You should get a light on the dash too. You should be able to specify a mileage with the "+" OR "-" on the steering wheel.

Not aero twins but Bosch super plus, can't fault them http://bit.ly/SQhACL

Yeah a gazebo would be a worthwhile and cheap investment :)

Here you go, hopefully this linky will work http://bit.ly/12L0mM9

If you want legal with no hassle, look on ebay for a seller called IanandKaren, (flashplates i think it is). You just buy the plates, send him your reg and in a day or two you will have them through your letter box. I have used them for 3 sets of plates now ;)

If you want cheapest, decided exactly what products you want to buy then hit google to see the cheapest places, eBay, amazon etc , also check the places linked above. eBay is often the cheapest but not always.

If its loud it probably isn't a milltek , I had one on my old 172 and it was very subtle.

How does it drive ? Pull ok ? What type of journeys is it used on? If it drives fine and is used on short low mileage journeys, that 'could' be the issue as the engine will struggle to get up to full operating temperature. However that's quite alot of sludge so may not fully explain it.

Welcome , looks just like mine :) what are your plans for it ?

I like it but ditch the bra though

Is the squeek present all the time e.g when just letting the engine idle? or just when revved? Were the tensioners changed or not when the belts were done?

Is it smoke or steam? If its white = steam, but if it was blue = oil, black = air filter, spark plug etc. The lumpy idle when warm is fine:approve:

Brilliant! I 'think' i recognize that hairpin shot - has it been on TG?

Sounds loud! whats the judder sound ? (after you change gear not when you ?hit the limiter)

Just wear some extra layers and get the jobs done on your driveway on a dry day? ;) I am not being negative but If you having to pay to rent a lift & facilities surely it wont be much cheaper than paying a garage to do the complete job? Plus you just know (as i have done in the past) there...

This might help? http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?674645-Airbox-Bolts&p=9205694#post9205694

I have used Collinite and impressed with the durability & beading. Feels like your smearing vaseline all over your car though! Easy to apply and remove. I havent used HD so cant comment on it vs Collinite

Yep light still off so fingers crossed ;)

Nice Christmas present , bet you were over the moon :)

Looking good :)

DAS6 + polish , wax and pads (need to learnt how to use it!) megs shampoo, megs tyre gel, plus a belting dodo juice detailing bag to put it all in :)

Thats the norm for 4WD cars so yes perfectly acceptable. :)
