^ Sorry your right. I meant to put 12 months.

Holy crap its the air intake. Now thats awesome!

Yeah of couse daveski these things are open to anyone on CS really. Where abouts are you from?

Yeah as its over 5yrs old it will need to have had the belts changed. If its a normal 172 and not a Cup thats easily a £500 garage bill for that service alone. Make sure you check the MOT includes the advisory sheet if one was issues. Oh and 6 months Tax is like £210 :/

Looks about normal to me. Clios dont appear to have the best panel fitment even when straight tbh.

Ah so this is what Fred was refering to when he said he had a project car in all next week. I wasnt aware there was a BTM Performance logo until now :D

Tadino has them fitted to his Ph1 172 in this thread *link*

Thats good to know. Can these be adjusted to sit near average ride height as im only really after these coilovers to replace my suspected knackered shocks rather than getting coilovers for the sake of going low. Would you say its a harder ride quality than OEM? Have bumps turned into crashes...

^ Lol same. Hasnt been done since November. I really need to invest in a Karcher pressure washer and Snowfoam lance.

Its next weekend up near Leeds :nono: See the East Midlands section. But yeah im free this Saturday. Allan- im in Spondon on Chapel Street.

Id say its a write off. The back wheels arent sitting parallel so theres not just cosmetic problems. The ClioGT has a diesel edition. It looks good if you ask me!

Travel up the A38 towards the M1 roundabout. The exit after the Chesterfield one is a dodgy slip road thats some kind of hairpin wannabe so rememebr to slow down! http://maps.google.co.uk/ Gray the problem with yours is parking, your roads always so busy!

If the ClioGT didnt exist i could understand the business sense behind this but surely its just going to eat into what small audience the GT was aimed at?

^ Yozza. Ktec's is too heavy really so any gains are compromised.

"watch this...." strikes again! :D Joke of course. I imagine the weather we have been experiencing will claim all kinds of cars regardless of age and talent.

After exiting a roundabout quicker than i probably should have i hit a rough road surface at speed and then intermittently for the rest of the journey i too would get the SERV + Airbag lights on my dash. At the end i stopped up and taped the airbag cable/connector under my drivers seat up...

Try removing and cleaning your throttle body. Failing that idle control valve at a guess.

Yeah a combination of it being dark + morning routine zombie means i wasnt paying attention to notice you. Sorry about that Kieran! :D

The spring coils are identicle on the Ktec and Ebay ones. The Vmax however appears to have different springs and different rears so yeah id say the Vmaxx is produced differently/seperately.

Indeed. Im on the 7:30am shift all week. Where were you lurking?

I think ive seen this in the past parked at the Odeon cinema with another Cliosport.

Np. And just to clarify when i say unscrew i actually mean you twist them off. Theres nothing inside the headlight you should need to take a screwdriver too unless to help pry off some of the connectors!

Oh well im just happy we came out better than Corsas, Vectras and Mondeos. Shame the Ford Ka is better.

Your not alone Bondie. Checkout this topic over in the Ebay section. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=477803 Someone off here has also bought some and is going to be fitting them to a Ph1 172. No-one appears to have actually fit them yet however so theres no reviews!

Not sure if you have read but VOSA have released MOT failure rates. Take a read of this BBC article and they break down the 1200 page PDF into a nice little table. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/opensecrets/2010/01/mot_failure_rates_released.html Clio is 21.2% aparently to fail an MOT :dapprove...

^ Not sure all of the above was gained by watching Fred work on my 172. I imagine theres no different between 172 and 182 headlights other than the colour of plastic :)

My passenger seat has the same issue. When theres some daylight im going to have a look thanks to the info posted in this thread. From the sounds of it though taking pics wont work as you have to feel up inside the seat? :/

Nope thats each. Fred put my cars details into the parts database and we had a laugh at the prices. The ballasts are about £200+ as well brand new

I dont see how that would fit to your 172. The 172 ballast is a seperate unit with NO connecting cables directly to it. It screws into the underneath of the headlight unit and gets its connection from that. That just looks like a replacement ballast for one of their HID kits.

Re: fitting xennon bulbs There are 2 types of xenon headlights both slightly different fitting. - Remove the rubber cap. (old inside the headlight) - Disconnect the green cable from the side of the pack. - Unscrew the pack - Unscrew the outer plastic housing ring - Remove the bulb (new...
