    Best looking car ever

    Having watched Clarkson on Top Gear last night, I was just wondering what everyone here reckons is the best looking car ever. The Miura is defo up there but I would also say that the following are up there; 1. Ferrari 250 GTO 2. Renault Alpine A110 (honourable Renault mention) 3. 1973 Porsche...

    Top Tip!

    Mk1 172 owners. Prentend your car is a Ferrari by wearing a ring on your left middle finger. Now everytime you change gear you will get that metal on metal click click sound just like a Ferrari H gate! For added authenticity, why not record some Ferrari V8/V12 MP3s onto a CD and play them...

    My handbrake is buggered

    Tried adjusting it but I seem to have made it worse. Is it possible that Ive stretched the cable? At the moment I have to heave on the thing to stop the car rolling off down the hill. Anyone got any advice?

    Rear discs

    Picked up my new rear discs from Renault yesterday and now I realise why they were so expensive. The wheel bearing comes as part of it and also there is a wierd gear thing on the inner side. Look ever so strange. Im assuming that it has something to do with the ABS (Captain??). Found out also...

    Another question about brakes..

    How quickly have other 172 owners got through a rear set of brake discs and pads? My car has done 18k miles and the rear discs are badly warped and grooved and the pads are worn right down to about 2-3mm. Strange thing is that the front pads are fine though I suppose its possible that the...

    FAO Captain Slarty

    Will be changing the rear brake discs on my car at the weekend. Is this a reasonably easy job? Will I get away with using the existing wheel bearings and if so do you know torque settings for how tight they should be? Your help would be much appreciated Captain. Zidan.

    Vauxhall adverts

    Some of their adverts do absolutely no favours for the companies image whatsoever. That new one for the Vectra really makes me cringe! Nearly as bad as the one with Griff Rhys Jones in Y- fronts.
