i was expecting the usual £30 fine and being told to remove them so when I got away with it and got told my cars the nicest he's seen in Middlesbrough he made my day haha
Got pulled last night for my fancy plate. Copper asked about my yellow fog lights aswell. He let me off though because he was a Renault enthusiast haha. He told me he'd owned 2 ph1 clios, a ph2 182 and he currently drives a Megane R26. here's me expecting a fine off him and instead he told me...
Mine doesn't do that just flickers at times etc. does my head in coz I'm just waiting for the alternator to die fully. But the other part of me wonders if its just faulty wiring coz its been 2 weeks now...
Thanks for all the replies guys! The cars still the same,lights on and off all the time and flickers still. I'm I right in saying while I'm driving it I'm just slowly draining the battery? it's been 2 weeks now and it still starts...
Hey,
Iv got a 2003 172 and since iv owned the car (about a year now) the MPG only stays at 33.3. Iv driven it hard for long periods of time and also cruised at 40mph for ages at low revs but it won't change lol!
any ideas..?
thanks,
David
Thanks for the replies guys. Was yours running ok? Mine runs fine, no side effects, just the lights on the dash. Is this red cable accessible from under the bonnet or is it a bumper off job?
Thanks
Did your battery and alternator seem to be working ok though? My thoughts are if the voltage readings are ok, which they are then the battery and alternator can't be faulty..?
Just had a local garage check the battery and Iv been told its fine. Iv had a volt meter across the battery terminals and the alternators pulling 13.5v when the engines running, which Iv read is correct. Cars running fine so that rules out a coilpack doesn't it? Any other ideas??
Hey,
Iv searched on here and found a fair bit of information out about this but just wanted to double check before I take the plunge and buy a new alternator and/or battery :S
I was driving last night and suddenly the STOP and battery light came on. Turned the car off and then back on but...
Sorry I should have been abit clearer. What I mean is I'm after some harder springs so that the car doesn't move as much when I go over bumps etc. I'm assuming its stiffer springs I'd need for that as appose to dampers?
Hey,
Iv currently got FK Highsports on my 172. I find them abit bouncy and wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction for some really stiff springs that I could use with the FK strut. Maybe a daft question but can any brand springs be added or must they be FK? Surely there all the...
Racing blue 182 parked up. Had black front diamond and a k tec racing sticker on rear window. Looked really clean, nicest racing blue one iv seen before. Any takers?
Thanks for the quick replies guys. Il check the obvious like broken spring first and then go from there. Theres so many things it could be, it's a minefield :S
Hi,
I have 53 plate Clio sport 172 which is lowered on FK coilovers. When I bought the car the steering was perfect. Recently the steering has moved and I have to drive with the wheel slightly to the right in order to go in a straight line. I had the car fully laser aligned and it was spot on...
