Get a knock on full left lock,
Lowered the car a few months ago, I imagine this has been an initiating factor..
Get it if I turn hard to the left as well, it's not constant normally just one loud knock..
Any ideas what it could be?
Front end is lowered maybe 60-70mm
as the title suggest, has anyone every fitted a ph2 1*2 front bumper to a ph1 172?
people may say why? because the ph1 bumper looks great but im just curious as to how it would look..
;)
Anyone have any idea why my key fob eats a battery every 4 days.. Works fine with a new one but after 3 or 4 days it just goes dead.. I've measured batterie with a multi meter and its flat. However when they are new they measure the correct voltage..
Just checked my eBay an I have accidentally won some coilovers for the Clio... Oh well.. They were up at £200, so stuck a best offer of £170 on and they have accepted... Silly me didn't realise that if it was accepted you had to buy them.. I though that was the start of negotiation.. Hahaha
Oh...
Blue 182 and DSG Renault about 12pm? looked like the exhaust was suffering from the typical sag at the back
Blue 182 on white Lund? antracite wheels. 12pm
Silver 172 ph1 near tomlinsons? big spoiler, red calipers, iirc wolfrace 5 spoke alloys?
standard artic 172 ph2 driving through morecambe...
So quick run down
My mates got a couple of good condition turbos off his Toyota supra twin turbo engine and suggested he would give me one if I wanted to turbo the 172...
Just after some quick advice as to what I need to buy to do this..
I'm going to upgrade in April next year to a 200 so...
As above the two lights flicker on and off mostly when I first start the car and set off...
Yesterday it came on solid until I drove off and then flickered every time I pressed the brake.
Any ideas?
Would I be right in thinking its just low brake pads on the front as the rear discs and pads...
As titled, my gearbox is knocking at idle and also a 3krpm it rattles quite a lot but only at them revs.. It just drove to Newcastle and back which from me is. 250 mile round trip. Also it doesn't have to be in gear it will still knock and rattle in neutral. Any thought people?
Thanks

So last couple of days I have noticed a strange noise from the gearbox on my ph2 172.
When I start the car on idle the is like a tick noise coming from underneath around the gearbox then at 2800rpm there is a rattle sounds plasticky.. If you know what I mean. If you hold it at that rpm you...
Is there a guide on here on how to change them? If so could someone give me the link. I've searched for about 40 minutes and can't find anything using the search bar. Cheers folks.
Is it just my 172 or do they all do this?
When I have the wipers on intermittent they vary in speed without changing the speed setting... They seem to automatically speed up when it rains harder? Do they have auto wipers? It's a 53 plate.
Recently did badges and grill black so thought I would coordinate the engine

Middle
Final
Personally I think the black is a million times better
Opinions
Thanks
The road outside my house has just been resurfaced so haven't bothered washing my car until they finished as i though it was pointless because of the dust etc...
Just had it through the local hand car wash and it's covered in small spots of tar around the bottom of the doors and bumper...
Jut sat in car had a buzzing sound for the past week annoying the hell out of me... Just found it coming from interior light when engine is off but ignition is in position 2
When I touch this the black barrel shaped part with red bits on in picture below it stops/quietens downs
Anyone know...
