My 172 head unit sounds absolutely crap, it's the standard tuner list which I've replaced the speakers to alpine SXE-1325S. What is the difference with a cabasse auditorium and would it be an improvement over my bog standard thing? I'm wanting to retain the oe look.

Did 1*2s have a different set of booklets in the document wallet? I'm trying to find a tidy set as mines missing

What is the standard camber on a ph2 172? I have a set of eibach camber bolts but I cand decide if I can be bothered with getting them set up if there isnt much to gain. Roads around me are fairly bad with tram lining from so many Tarmac lorries leaving the local quarry so huge camber might be...

My dust covers are missing off my rear discs, are they really necessary to prevent water ingress? The fronts never have them anyway.

My door shut sticker is really annoying me, its attacked by some numpty shutting the seatbelt in the door and now dirt has got between it and the paint. Is there any way of getting a replacement?

Does anyone know the RAL code for cup silver turinis so I can attempt to get them colour matched at my powdercoater?

I've got a new set of silver centre caps but was thinking of going to get my wheels done in anthracite, would anyone with a set of anthracite fancy a swap?

Right this has dragged on so I'll be abridge this a bit. In September last year I agreed a price with a local powdercoaters to refurb my alloys inc. tyre removal and refitting, they did them, I paid cash and got a receipt. Less that 2 months later the surface crazed on one so I took it back...

I cant for the life of me find the torque settings for the 2 beam bolts and 6 bracket to body bolts. Anyone able to enlighten me?

The black plastic wrap around my fuel tank pad has disintegrated, I think if I put just the foam back it would sponge up water and hold it against the floor pan. Would wrapping it in a black bag work, any other ideas?

I've had the fuel tank out of my 172, is there a procedure to reconnecting it all to purge air out of the system or will that not be a problem?

Does anyone know of a discount code for HEL Performance?

I'm doing some under body restoration, is in necessary or even advised to cover hydrate 80 in electrox or would it be acceptable to go straight over hydrate 80 with dynax ub?

I'm just looking for some clarification, I'm in the process of refurbing my rear beam and need to replace a few bits. One of these is the rear brake lines and the short flexis, can these be done away with altogether and just run new braided lines from the caliper right up to the rigid lines...

I've stripped off my beam and mounts to powdercoat but I'm wondering if it's too far gone, the threaded studs for the brakeline clips are corroded to thin barely usable spikes. Is there a good solution to this or would I be best sourcing a better condition beam?

I'm not getting a reply from RPD, does anyone know where else I can get the 6 rear beam bolts and nuts or whether using standard 130mm high tensile bolts is ok? I'd like to keep it standard really.

I'm torn between Febi standard rear beam bushes and whiteline, is there much to gain with upgrading them?

Before I strip the rear beam I want to get all the parts I'll need to replace ready, one part I cant seem to find is the metal clips that the flexi brake hoses attach into where they meet the beam bracket. What are they called and can they still be got from Renault?

Can anyone link me to the guy or anyone who can make stickers?

Got a bit of a strange one with my screen washers, they are only working once every one and then and when not squirting I can hear the drivers side headlight motor run when the jets should be. I've stripped it all down, cleaned and trimmed the pump rubbers back but no change

I'm bored and no cash to pump into the flamer but I do have a 200 style rs boot badge, I'm torn as to whether to fit it in place of the standard badge or over the clio badge holes. Standard, 197 or 200 badge? What are peoples opinions?

A few weeks back I began treating all back plastics on my 172 but after they have cured the more heavily textured plastics like wing mirror edges and mounts have almost white/grey colouration in the textured dimples. Can I simply scrub clean dry and retreat of is a more radical approach required?

Short of vapour blasting or similar is there anything I can use to clean up the white corrosion on cast alloy parts? The parts I want to clean are too fiddly to rub down with fine wire wool or auto sol really, I wondered if vinegar or a similar acid would work.

Just a quick query, replaced my battery tray as it was cracked, is there meant to be anything like a rubber washer between the tray and the suspension turret? The hole in the tray for the bolt is pretty gappy and doesnt seem correct that it just mates up to the painted surface of the turret...

This is doing my head in now! Car is parked pointing up hill, after I quick lunchtime investigation it seems water IS getting in through the bulkhead somewhere. All 3 scuttle drains are clear and not losing coolant so in guessing it's getting in through a bulkhead grommet. Attached a pic of...

I've noticed my mpg has got pretty poor, around the low 30s and my temperature gauge sits a bar sometimes two below the halfway that 1*2s always sit at. Is this a fault thermostat, CTS or both/neither?

I'm in the middle of an underside restoration (car is still on the axle stands after all the wind!) Where I've had to get back to bare metal I've coated with 2x hydrate 80, 2x electrox and was going to finish this off with Dynax UB. Will this be sufficiently robust or should I be putting a stone...

Has anyone used Ren Breakers on Ebay? I'm tempted by a bonnet they are selling. Delivery of a bonnet seems risky but they are offering it

What's the flat connecting bar that connects the sliders on the rear calipers called (yoke?) and what is its purpose? Mine are pretty rusted, are they still a available?

Wheres the best place to get rear brake lines? The union on mine has seized to the pipe meaning I've had to rotate the caliper to get it off
