you can remove the washers from under them to give a little drop in seat height, but it’s not much.

I’m sure it was 1500 launches or something, not 200. That’s far too low. Non of the press cars would have any launches left after a week.

I too had to change the speedo sensor on the gearbox on my 172. Same symptoms as your having and it was such an easy fix to change. Definitely worth changing it for the cost

I’m sure there were some Vauxhall dealers that added these badges and other bits as a dealer special edition or something.

That looks awesome and definitely how they should’ve come from the factory.

That looks mint, but we definitely need more pictures!! 172 wheels look good but it needs a slight drop…..

I never had any problems with a variety of different air filters and exhaust setups on mine, even adding a 220 intake pipe to mine (200) didn’t cause problems

Im no expert but it could be either a boost or vacuum pipe has come off. Could be the Hotside gasket is leaking although I’m not sure of the symptoms of that. Check the simple things first.

Not my photo but maybe it should be in the car spotted thread as seems quite a rare model?? 🤔🤣

Absolutely brilliant job. Well done. You should see the mess I make of spraying the wiper arms, let alone how bad the whole car would be!!

I had to change mine on my ph1 because it slowed down and then snapped. That had also had the recall completed for the replacement at some point but still failed. The new one was easy to fit and made a massive difference.

I had a fiesta si, in aubergine. Loved it and the seats were something else!

Or just debadge it, the rear looks much better without it.

I remember driving my 182 in traffic and there being loud bang, followed by a swinging clutch pedal. Pushed the car out of the way and got upside down in the car to find the clutch cable had come off the pedal end!

These are such awesome cars. And looks really nice in silver. The res delete is a nice addition too!

The person who fitted rear discs to the front of the car should never be allowed to touch a car again, let alone work on one!

Definitely a better choice without a doubt! No they are long gone sadly. All sold in moments of madness, especially my petrol blue 182! 😢 Nothing fun now sadly, but maybe one day.

Hi and welcome. Congrats on the car and what an awesome bonus from work! Get some pictures up when you can. Had a 182 and two ph2 172’s but never managed to drive a ph1!

Yes fit the ph1 airbox and also the ph1 gear shifter is a nice upgrade too.

Motability cars have changed a bit!

I had one and it was quite a fun little car. Not quick but nippy and fun to throw about.

My three would be Nova 1.3sr Panda 100hp Renault Clio RS200 EDC

I can’t help I’m sorry, but I’m gutted for you. Hopefully it’s not too bad to fix and you get it sorted. 🙁

Another thing I did to mine, which I loved and felt much better was a captur/ph2 gear shifter. At first I did the full captur shifter and edc surround, but then I got a ph2 clio shifter without the letters on the top and a manual clio gaiter and surround, stitched red cotton across the...

I’m going to say just stickers. Maybe it’s the photo but I can’t see the bonnet vents, the mirror caps are black and the dash looks to be bright silver like standard and not dark trimmed like the amr.

I’ve seen the d7r build, and it took some work as I’m sure @scruffydubber can confirm, but it is wild! He’s a pretty helpful and friendly guy from Telford way and would probably help too.

Yeah I thought it looked good and saved cleaning them every 5 mins, especially after the secondary cat was removed.

Brilliant results there, the colour is so much deeper! Flame red is a beautiful colour. I got sick of cleaning my tips after I had the exhaust modified, so sprayed them black. 🤣

I’m sure I read somewhere that renaultsport had the engine from Nissan but spent all the rest (or most) of the budget on the gearbox which is why everything is pretty standard with regards to brakes, seats etc. the brakes aren’t bad as standard but as you say some special bits would’ve made it a...

God I’m sure I remember back in the day when these were cheap! And then the price shot through the roof as people wanted them and they’ve never come back down.
