I've had 2 CV boots split on the car now. Both on the O/S and both have leaked the grease all over the wishbones. I've done a search and found thankfully (kind of) I'm not the only one suffering from this problem. I don't fancy paying £30 once a month to have it constantly fixed so are...

I've done a search on it but there's no definitive answer and not many people have the symptoms i'm avin. Only the front O/S corner is knocking, It's not only when i turn, It's when i'm going slow also, hitting pot holes, speed bumps etc. Also does it when i'm turning. Not my CV joint as...

Well my exhausts started blowing so maybe time for a newone and a decat thrown in i think. I used to love the PugSport Grp-N Exhausts for the 106 GTi. With the single 3" Tailpipe and oval backbox so does anyone have any pictures of any 'Rally Style' exhausts like this on a 172? I'll be...

As title really. Up for sale here : http://www.modifiedscoobys.co.uk/product_info.php?pName=ate-super-blue-brake-fluid-2 If there are some people in the west mids who fancy getting a bottle or 2 we can try to get 9+ ??

I've been offered a modified 182 head for a good price. Thing is i have a 172. If i fit the 182 head what problems can i expect to run into? I have a feeling the plenham may need to be changed and a few other things but can anyone knock up a guess list at what i'd need to swap if possible...

So i've started to get together a collection of cleaning/detailing products. So far i've ordered : Poorboys Wheel Sealant Poorboys White Diamond Show Glaze Poorboys EX-P Sealant Poorboys QD High Gloss Quick Detailer In my basket at i4Deatiling I have : Meguiars Shampoo Plus 3.78L i4D...

If possible can someone supply me the part numbers for: Throttle Body to Inlet Gasket Inlet Manifold to Plenham Gasket Inlet Manifold to Cylinder Head Gasket (This is a small egg shaped one) All 3 are for a PH2 172. The renault system won't seem to accept my regestration and they have to be...

Took my alloys off today to send them to ReFurbing and have managed to shear one of the crappy renault locking nuts :mad::mad::mad::mad: Can anyone recommend somewhere or can anyone (Fred) come and help me get it out if they're situated in the west mids?? Majorly p**sed off now! Everytime i...

I'm having my inlets polished next week and when the guy was quoting me a price he mentioned it would need some kind of work after (Anodising / Lacquering) to stop it going dull or the finish going crappy basically. Would Britemax Final Shine be ok to protect the shine? Any other advise on...

Right then, thought it may be an idea to get a club convoy for FCS. It will be hard work but i'm hoping many of the area reps will help out on this. If the area reps for each area could post up their convoy points and then we'll try to merge them together as we get closer to Rockingham...

Saw you around by the orbital in cannock last night. I was in my mates scoob, gave you a wave to say hello but dunno if you knew i was from the forum.

So i've had a talk to a guy at John Ashley Exhausts in walsall about getting a new system from the downpipe back seeing as my current ones blowing at the centre section. He's told me about an exhaust he's fitted to several 172s which has 2" pipework, he reckons the torque gained from the...

Saw You chasing each other. 1 Mk 2 Ph2 & a Mk3 Playing Chase - lol Jammy git's i was still workin :dapprove:

Has anyone used the above on an Oil change?? My cars on 75k now and i'm planning to do an oil change pretty soon. I'm thinking of flushing the engine using this product and wondered if anyone had an experiences with it?? Any input is appreciated guys. Thanks

Basically Ive just put my name down on the 172 & 182 Decat group buy thread. But wondered if anyone had run into any problems with running the car after putting a decat on?? Ive done a search but it came up pretty non-conclusive so a new thread it is :) So, Any problems running decats??

Morning All, My dipped beam xenon went last week and so today i went about changing it. But while the bumper was off i figured id swap the main H7 bulbs for some Osram night breakers. Problem is after swapping the bulbs the H7 now doesnt work at all, no matter what bulb i put in. Have i...

For all you Amphasite lovers out there!

Not a clio, but my old 206. I imagine the problem would be universal though? Basically the car sits idle for a day or 2 and then won't start without a jump off the clio. Ive put the battery on a charger, but it comes up as fully charged. When i put the jump leads on it's an instant start...

I don't really have a set goal (ie Track Car, Turbo Engine etc) and so this thread is generally just a tale of my tinkering with the car. Im not going to extreme's imo, I was just sitting at home and thought it would be an idea for me to document my work somewhere, as much for myself to look...

'Lo Guys. I had quite alot of problems with bushes on my 206 and so before i have any arising on the clio i figured prevention is better than cure. So, been looking at some powerflex bushes for the 172 and wondered if you thought this was a good price...

I know there are previous threads for this but i usually get flamed on forums for reviving old threads. So is anyone still selling these as £10 on yozzasport is a bit much for a couple of washers! Please let me know if you know of anyone! Thanks

I have no desire to buy one due to the price tag and the fact that i'm after a pipercross viper. But curiosity has got the better of me so i thought i'd ask people on here if they think it's possible that this may work...

Has anyone got an Ashley Exhaust fitted to their 172? There are quite a few listed on eBay and ive been considering getting one, but just wondered what the fit and build quality was like. Also if anyone has a PH2 172 What does it sound like? I dont want it too loud but wouldnt mind a nice...

Hiya guys, Thought i'd better say hello rather than just starting adding my opinion to threads. I'm 23 and from Oldbury (Its near Birmingham). Ive got a silver 02 Reg 172 Ive got a few things planned for the car, but not sure which ones to go ahead with first. One final thing, I'm...
