Thanks @NorthloopCup I have some low mileage ones coming from someone breaking a ph2 172, but thanks for the offer.

Are all 172 tie rods the same between ph1 and ph2?

As above, how much should I be paying to have a ph1 front bumper painted in titanium?

Wish I hadn't seen these...the blue and grey would be perfect in a ph1!!!

My 6 and 8yr old girls both have Hudls. Great for the money, especially with club card boost they end up half price. The 4yr old boy has a small kindle of some description in a big rubbery drop proof case! They have internet turned off via parent controls most of the time unless doing...

You can see someone get out and walk away! Impressive car safety. Hope he was the only one in it.

Ph1 172

Depends if the private plate is worth £100 or £1200....[emoji12]

I once forgot to put the pinch bolt back in the wishbone ball joint on a 205 GTI. Got about 200 yards before the wishbone and hub separated pulling the drive shaft CV joint apart and causing some significant steering "issues".....bad times....

Thanks @Carguy

Thanks @DannyR Just checking. Probably why my alarm goes off randomly every now and again too then!

When you say battery @DannyR is there some kind of aux battery in the dash or do you mean the actual car battery. apologies if that sounds stupid just checking.

So how involved is replacing the trip computer? Whole dash off presumably?

Ok. I'll retry having let it complete the test.

Dunno I stopped it part way through.

I just let it go to test mode. Didn't sort it though. Might need a new battery but the car always starts easily....

Thanks. Chaps. I'll have a go at that @DannyR.

Just bought a ph1 and the trip computer rests itself about 80% of the times that I turn the ignition off but not every time. Really annoying as I never get an average mpg and can't measure distance between filling up. Any thoughts?

Cool. I thought you already had it when I posted. Never occurred to me that a cheap wheel could be bendy and unsafe...I've inly ever had sparco and omp wheels ( in 205 gtis). Glad to hear your keeping it, it looks good.

Does it matter? You like it and can't tell the difference and it was a bargain. If she paid full price then it would matter but it was cheap and you like it! Looks good to me.

Good work. Seems to be a bit more loose material on yours than mine but i guess there are umpteen companies selling basically the same thing...i can live with mine for now cos the wheel underneath was terrible. When i have the time i am going to try and properly DIY refurb a wheel. I've found...

There's an engine in the for sale forum at the moment! Just had belts done too!

Got rid of the drone generator Now looking more like Renault intended Fitted new throttle cable, which having also cleaned the throttle has transformed the car. And added cliosport sticker...

Thanks for all the replies gents. All really helpful. I'll pm you @Dan@SJM.

Damn auto correct in title!!

Any recommendations for somewhere near me to get cambelt/dephaser pulley done??

Cleaned this....throttle now much less jerky! Thanks for the advice Andy_16v

Just for awareness. There's a clip cup in my local breakers in ludgershall. Mostly still there. Body work pretty banged up. Brakes and suspension all still there. Seats still in. A steering wheel in footwell with missing thumb grip, one clear headlight etc etc. it's in Andover Car Breakers Ltd.

Swapped tyres front to back.....zzzzzz

I can see where you are coming from on this. After all it is a steering wheel cover. My steering wheel was literally falling apart all over my hands every time I drove so I needed to do something. For me the advantage over a normal steering wheel cover is that it doesn't feel like one. It's...
