    Black 172 in Tesco Stowmarket this morning

    Saw it in the petrol station when I was checking my tyre pressures, had Cliosport sticker in the back window. I liked.

    Immobiliser issue questions

    I have got the common problem of an intermittent immobiliser fault, where occasionally when turning the ignition on I get the flashing red light. Often after a few attempts it goes, although recently I have had to hold the button on the key firmly while turning the ignition on to get the car...

    Will I like Deus Ex Human Revolution?

    Never played the original Deus Ex yet I feel like I should have, then I saw that Human Revolution is out on Friday. What's it like? I tend to like most 'good' games that come out (except ME2), is this similar to Borderlands, Fallout 3, Oblivion etc? Looks a bit Half Lifey?

    Was walking out of Cineworld, saw you coming out of the car park half an hour ago, very low!

    My Sunflower (And previous cars)

    Just realised I have never done one of these threads before. I have always had Renaults, started off with my 1.2 Mk1 back in 2006! Bought it standard, lowered it and fitted it with the worst backbox and alloys ever. Loved it then though. Had that all through Sixth Form, then for Uni I...

    Lower ball joint pinch bolt just spins

    Got round to changing the lower ball joints, and I get stuck at the first bolt. The nut on the pinch bolt just spins, is there any way round this than taking the whole hub off and cutting the bolt off?

    Ball Joint Splitter = Necessary?

    Going to be doing both ball joints in a few days and wondering if a ball joint splitter is necessary or should I be fine with a long fat screwdriver?

    Red Ph1 172 driving through Stowmarket

    Lowered with White wheels, nice! I was a few cars behind you for a few min until I turned off for the tip.

    Checking for air con leak

    Is there any key places where the gas usually leaks? Mine went from working well to the compressor not even clicking on the next time I tries to use it, so I'm assuming there's a major leak.

    Anyone bought this pattern centre section? RN902B

    Guessing it's the pattern part places like Kwik Fit use? Has anyone fitted one, how closely does it match the genuine one? Slightly concerned as it says it fits both Ph1 and 2 but very cheap which I could really do with right now :approve...

    Pic request: Ph1 Exhaust Centre Section (Single Lambda)

    Having some trouble getting hold of a Ph1 Standard Mid Section, currently have the shorter Ph2 mid section bodged with an aftermarket backbox and its not the most ideal situation - it hits the subframe on acceleration as if my engine mounts have gone! Does anyone have a picture of the longer...

    Few of my Clio 16V bits on eBay ending this weekend (16th/17th April)

    As my student loan has run out and the British Gas bill is due I am selling a few bits off on eBay - check my other items out if you like any PS1 games! As for Valver bits... Genuine Renault reprint of a couple of Clio 16V reviews, good read. Debadged rear boot strip from a Phase 1 Valver...

    Hertfordshire Uni 182

    Spotted in the LRC car park right now, anyone on here?
  17. EngineerD

    Drifting down a one way street next to parked cars. Yes there is a crash.

    Havn't seen this posted - just pure dangerous driving, no idea exactly what good could have ever come from it.

    Been told that a Twisted Dogbone Mount will fit a Phase 1...

    As title really, I was under the impression that the twisted Ph2 dogbone mount would not fit a Phase 1, but I have just been told by a respected seller on here that accidentally sent me a Ph2 mount that it will "100% fit" anyway. Am I being stupid?

    What is this for? (Under passengers seat)

    What is this for? I am guessing something is missing with it. Never seen it mentioned on here before.

    Ph1 Dogbone Mount - Where from?

    Where to buy a Ph1 Dogbone Mount? I don't fancy the polybush route. Also are Mk1 Valver/Williams Dogbone mounts the same as Ph1s? As I can get hold of a new one of those easily - they look the same by eye.

    Awful exhaust noise + vibration after using NWP kit? Done up too tight?

    Got a local garage to fit a standard cat + midsection last week and I also gave them the nwp cat fitting kit to use as well - ever since I have had bad vibration and noise then accelerating, as if one of the engine mounts failed and the cat is hitting the subframe. However after reading some...

    Ph1 172 Air Con button does nothing

    Air Con has stopped working today - pressing the Air Con button does nothing - even the light in the switch doesn't light. Any ideas on what to check? Worked 100% fine about 1 month ago.

    Will std midsection fit this cat?

    Will a standard mid-section fit my cat - or will the different bores (I assume they are different anyway) cause issues when bolting them together? Pic of my cat (unknown brand) connected to my 2.5" bore stainless exhaust. Standard Midsection...

    Quick phase-based exhaust question...

    Am I right in thinking that the only difference between Ph1 and Ph2 exhausts is the length of the middle section - i.e. a Phase 2 catback exhaust would fit a Phase 1 fine and vise versa, and that it would only be a problem if I wanted to mix Phase 1 and 2 mid section and backbox? Cheers

    Think I worked out why the rear speakers sound so bad...

    Had the car a little over a month now, just got a new headunit and thought I would work out why the rear speakers sound so bad. Facepalm.

    Mid range standard steering wheel?

    Currently my ph1 172 has a poverty spec steering wheel in, is there a mid range wheel that ph1 Mk2s had, thats better than the horrible basic one but not ruined or expensive like the proper 172 one? I ask as this seller on eBay says that this wheel is "leather effect...much nicer than the...

    Are sports cat noisy?

    I know decats increase the noise from the exhaust greatly, but what a sports cat? My ph1 172 has has a sports cat plus full stainless exhaust system (can't find a brand) which is how it was when I bought it and the drone at 70mph is terrible once its warmed up! I want to quieten it up without...
