I have had my 172 a few weeks now, i have had the belts done with fred and didnt really want to mention my car on hear until after that so as not to tempt fate with the belts!! Well good thing i didnt really cos once the belts were off fred showed me how badly worn the old one was and said that...

what camera setting do you need for this i have a canon d500 and giving a long exposure means i end up with a white pictures, so what settings should i use then. Oh and the pics dont look half bad considering u had no tripod

yeah exactly depends on how clued up the buyer is though, but aslong as the belts have been done thats the main thing

i wouldnt get it done then

well i didnt think mine would need doing, im only on 46k, but when i got to freds he was like that is starting to go cos it was ticking a bit (i think that was what he said), so i would definetly reccommend it being done will save u money in the long run

i am sure my 1.2 had a stronger roof than my 172, it is horribly bendy when i wash the roof. anyway the car looks good guys, coming along very nicely

well i would be happy with saturday as i can make a slight detour from my trip to bala, and i may have a look at the evo triangle whilst over there too! would be epic if we turned it into a evo run but i dont want to turn the meet into something its not!

is it saturday the 27th then?

spotted u going through maccies drive through, i was wondering around b&q car park opposite and my 'berg 172 was also parked up there

a girl at work has a clio that colour with silver turinis, i would look for them as they look really good with that colour on a non-sport, car almost looks like a cup to the untrained eye

there is a list somewhere of the stuff u need with renault part numbers, but u will need a 52 onwards car, new clutch and brake pedal sensors or pedals?, the dash switch, and a few other things i think, have a search around has definatly been covered a few times before

car looks good, looks like it might have previously owned by a member considering the cs sticker and ph2 rear lights, only thing i can say is find out when the cambelt was done

just go to renault and buy one from the laguna i think, all you have to do is swap the tops cos it is cheaper that way, to get the button off u need to take the radio out then pull the panel above it off then take the pug off of the back of the switch should be self explanatory really

^exactly, alot of people think that a 1.2 would be light on fuel and a 2.0l to be heavy on it but for me it is the other way around, people dont seem to realise that you need the right sized engine rather than the smallest you can buy to get the best mpg

i guess u have to work your engine alot harder than i have to to achieve the same speeds, remember the topgear test of a prius vs an m3 on a track and the prius ran out of fuel first

i reckon my 172 does about the same as that ^

mine added a small amount but i said it was less than 50mm,i decided "how are they supposed to rule how much its lowered by"

just buy cheap coilovers, i had rokkors on my old 1.2 they were a bit bumpy but the adjustability makes them so much better and they only cost me £160 brand new

right i have taken it all to peices and put it back together, i reckon it is the pump but i think swapped the screen and headlight washers by accident so now at least my screen ones work but the drivers side headlight washer is a bit rubbish but it could just be air in the pipes

nah doubt it cos i only px'ed it a week ago and it had superlegga fakes on it (told the trader they were real).

wasnt my old one then!

do you know wheels it had, cos it might be my old one

ok thanks for the tip, i will see if i can find the guide

I keep all this in the boot Work boots Toolkit Wheel nut Wrench Work Fleece B&Q Apron Foot Pump Safety knife

ok, i will check out the pipes tommorow, if they are good i will just buy a new pump, thanks simon

So should i check the hose's and jets for blockages then?

right, so what did you figure out?

hope your wrong, but are they expensive

I filled it up yesterday but it does seem to act like it is low

As above, my washer jets take a couple of seconds before the screenwash comes out, i can hear the pump going as soon as i pull the stalk though, my old 1.2 was instant is this normal for sports though, i am driving a ph2 172.
