My 172 is very nasty to drive when its cold. Rather slow aswell.
Gear changes are rough and juddery.
i find that going straight onto the dualler and giving it beans warms it up the fastest.
I tried to put the photos in some sort of order but f**k knows whats going on :P
Im going to go and wash it, and hopefully polish&wax it today and then ill get some decent pics with a proper camera for later :)
So far all ive done to the car really is.. New wheels, wanted rid of the 17s as...
Hi all..
I got the car a few months ago now, it had horrible 17s on it and tbh it wasnt very well looked after at all.
As the weather has been s**t since i bought it, ive not had a chance to do much to it, or even give it a good wash!
was out and about the other day with the Mrs camera...
Thats not 3/4 but it still looks much much better.
I know its illegal and bla bla bla but ive had a fancy plate on both my clios now for almost 2 years and ive never had any bother with it.
I bought the Iceberg a set of 0Z F1's, gave it a clean yesterday too for the first time in a few weeks, and after Xmas when my working hours go back up, the belts will be getting done and then maybe a set of cheeky coilovers ;)
Thats pretty much my car, only difference is, my carbon wrap mirrors. and my wheels are gleaming as i spent a while cleaning them today, looks so fresh!
ill try get some pics tomorrow.
ah... just parts of a bigger sticker? looks really nice on there, dont think it would look as good on an iceberg. somethings work better on different colours :l
No it doesn't, you can even see its titanium. Looks good too, was planning painting my F1's after the winter, they are silver on an iceberg atm. Looks fresh but not sure how dark to put them?
Bugger, so if I want my car to pass its next MOT ill need to buy a cat to fit onto my exhaust, or a whole new exhaust? As the one I bought the car with is a decat.
I remember looking at this when you started. cant believe how good its looking now.
Well done matey. needs a set of OZ's though... would finish it nicely!
I've got this problem aswell. Passenger side wasn't working this morning so I had a look and it was f**king soacking wet. The rubber cover was off a bit and the water had got it.
Once it dries will it work again or will I need to replace something? That's.
You mean the temp sensor is in the square panel with the interior light? Or is it somewhere else? Ill try that first.
I did a search and seen someone saying its was about 10. Hours labour. Thanks mate
Got a ph2 172. heating was working fine, then one day it would only blow cold air, the car was fully warmed up and the temp gauge was sitting in the middle, as usual.
Had the heating turned right up to 26c or 27c, which ever max is anyway, but it was still only cold air coming out.
Then next...
Also, I had probles with my altenator but I did also have a bit metal stuck in my brakes and my abs kicks in all the time so it could be abs as above has been mentioned.
