Does anyone have an R Sport group N chip. I'm thinking 'bout it for my Mk1 172 and want to know if it's worth it. Is it easy to fit yourself, is the power gain worth the cost and how much did you pay? Cheers Rob669

I need some new rear brake discs for my 172 Mk1. I'm fitting them myself and I can't be ars*d with pressing bearings into hubs and so need a set with them already fitted. Does anyone know the part number and the best place to buy them from i.e cheapest? Cheers, Rob669

Can't believe how many I spotted over the weekend: Williams on Sunday at Marsh Barton and a Naples Red 16v at PC World. On Sat: another Naples 16v in Sidmouth, blue 172 Cup in Exmouth and a Shiney Black Vee in Exeter on the evening. Also sat behind an Evo 400, nice throbby sound! Rob669

Who else thinks white is a good RS Clio colour? I know there were some MkI 16v's in white but I don't think RS MkIIs were available in white. Rob669

I can see one of the rubber guide sleeves on the back brake caliper is no longer covering the pin. I tried everything to get the b*gger back on but it won't stay seated in the groove. Is it easy enough to take off and fiddle it onto its seat, anyone? Cheers, Rob669

I seem to be getting less mpg now it's turned colder. Mines dropped from high 30's to mid 30's - 35 mpg last time I checked. Anyone else seeing a drop to match the change in temperature? Cheers Rob669

The time has come to check my front brake pads, so I think I might as well change them while they're out. Bog standard Ferodo's from Halfords or something more lush, your thoughts? It's a 172 by the way. Cheers, Rob669

One of my Michelin PE2s has a dirty great nail in it. I might try and get a puncture repair instead of replacing it as its very new. But are puncture repairs safe? Rob669

I want to know the correct order please to bleed the brakes on a 172 Mk1. I think its nearside rear, nearside front, offside rear and offside front. Am I right? Cheers

Im gutted! My imacculate Mk1 silver 172 was crashed into by a dirty great black van on the way to work. The bstard just pulled straight over into my lane. I now have a damaged wing, big black scratches across the panel under the front headlight and a sratch on the Oz alloy wheel. Just hope I...

As its too hot to wash the car Im thinking about taking the carpet stuff off the underside of the bonnet instead. Anyone else done it? Does it make the car rattle/a bit louder? Must save a couple of kgs.

Spotted Clarkie this morning keeping nicely within the speed limits through Woodbury. Tried to flash you but not sure if I got it in time?

Immaculate blue valver at Tesco car park this evening, Exmouth. Gold lettering on the back and cliosport sticker. Fancy light work. Shiney gold wheels etc

Spotted a rather full 182 on its way to Exmouth being driven by a nice looking lady. Saw it in my rear mirror as I left it behind!
