Looking for a better alarm system after been told today that 2 chavs were caught trying to break into my car with screwdrivers near christmas (Only just told me today :() and coincidentally my alarm went off last night so hopefully it should have scared them off for now but i want a bit more...
Got a random juddering from the car today on the way home from work. Car was cold but as soon as it heated up it was ok. It only happened in 4th gear though which is slightly worrying me but when warm it was ok.
Along with this the car seems to be really sluggish below 1750 revs in every gear...
My mate is looking at getting a car and is trying to decide between the two.
The 1.4 16v is on a early 56 plate, 15k on clock and 1 owner priced at 6k, which he could get for 5.5k.
The tce is an 08 plate 8k on clock and priced at just under 8k and would probably get it for around £7500...
Im thinking its just the cold weather but everytime i start the car since the ice and snow have come around, it resets everytime, il going to check if it does in 10 minutes when i go back out and the cars still warm, hope its just the weather and nothing major with electrics!!
Anyone getting...

Coming off the a500 onto the a37, think one was heading towards Festival Park and the other could have gone either way as i didnt know they had changed the lane setup
One reg plate was **05 FOK
Anyone know if they are open sunday and what time they are as i cant see anything on the website and its only day i mainly get off due to university and other commitments.
Thanks Danny

Surprised at the price of this for the supposed mileage and what its probs cost tuning it.
Think it would be worth it or think somethings wrong with it?
And will be funny with some peoples faces thinking its a 1.2 lol
or what ever they are.
There is one main one in the middle then one on each side thats not as solid which fits in/attaches between bumper and wheel arch, I had a respray on the front end and the bloke hasnt fitted them back on right so one flew off today on the drivers side so just wondered am...
Well after looking through one or two threads with what to do for my alloys, i am going to get a refurb and respray in anthracite on the standard 172 wheels.
The hard part is deciding what to do for colour.
My car as of this minute:
Options are below: (Sorry for taking the odd pics...
Just about to post in wanted forums but would ask about prices 1st. Slam panel for front and a bonnet, preferbly the bonnet would have to be 172 pearl black i believe (did 172 come in black gold because in sun mine has a sparkle)
If not how much would i be looking at for a spray roughly
Or...
Just wondered what battery and alternator people use when running a sound system without moving the battery into the boot or what they consider good setups.
Also where did you get the alternator done/from?
to run new discs on old pads, its not for too long, just till next pay day when im getting ds2500
garage just rang saying he didnt advise it but its only for a week or 2 max
this may sound stupid yea i know, but after removing the 4 bolts holding the alloy wheel on (btw they are standard 172 alloys) do i have to remove the bolt in the middle as the wheels arent coming off, im thinking it might be they are just stuck on and need a slight pull?
Anyone ever used/got one of these or know of any reviews of them, a few on other sites that seem to be good, but i believe they arent thatcham approved but their other products are
im looking to put the standard filter back onto the 172 because the last person changed it to a crap type r 1 that annoying and rattly, now theres 3 holes and im wondering what goes where, the top one goes to the engine, the bottom closest one to the bumper to the best cold air feed and what...
is it normal for the headlights to keep making a noise and adjusting even when still and with only the electrics on?
Also when accelerating and i go over about 4k revs, i get a slight whine sometimes from the engine and a rattly noise as if my exhaust is trying to pop but it cant, could it be...
