That retrimmed wheel looks very good. Could do with one for my Ph1 172. I would say the wheel in photos is out of a Phase1 172.

My Nissan Primastar had to have resistors fitted in the rear when they did the conversion from minibus to hackney spec taxi. It used to have rear airbags from the factory but they remove them because they fit different rear seats and belts. I've just had to have the resistors replaced as one of...

Use a dent puller that is big enough to stick to the dent after warming the dent with a hair dryer. It usually works with a bit of care and perseverance.

Yes . I buckled two of mine and got one done that wasnt too bad. Still waiting to get other one done.

K-tec racing do top mounts.

ATS are usually pretty good. Demon Tweeks are excellent as they specialise in aftermarket everything. and take a lot of care in the workshop. I've been there a few times. Its worth the extra to know its done properly.

Ditto. Buy a car with A/C already fitted. Loads of them around.

You only pay the excess if your car is repaired after an accident. If you fix it yourself then no excess. It'll still affect your NCD if it was your fault though.

A lot of MOT stations will fail cars with anything other than normal white or amber sidelight bulbs. I took my nissan in last week and had to get rid of the white LED's in mine and put standard bulbs in. It got an advisory because of that as well.

Heres what I did to sort mine. Neither of them were working so asked mate of mine for advice. Ended up using a couple of fine model making drills that can be used in your hand and very carefully turning them inside all the wiring sockets that the pins go into on the connectors then soaked...

Does the engine management light come on when you first switch the ignition on? Its the one to the right of the light you have indicated. It should come on for few seconds then go out to indicate it has done a system check before starting the engine.

My clio does that when its wet sometimes.Think its a fault thats common.

You should be able to hear the fuel pump when the ignition is on. The pump is in the fuel tank underneath the rear passenger seats.

its likely to be the fuel pump. Other possibility is you have air in the cooling system. I'd get this checked as it can lead to head problems if not rectified. I had a BX GTi a few years ago and heard gurgling sounds from the heater matrix for a while and didnt do anything about it. It ended up...

Have any of you had a problem with the ecu not connecting to diagnostics? My 172 won't fire up and isnt getting fuel after standing for a week. The central locking works on the key but it isn't disarming the immobiliser. The battery had gone a bit lazy as well. Been onto a couple of guys on...

I run mine at 31 all round. You'll find the beading lets a bit of air out over a period of time. Its very common symptom with alloys. Best to check the pressures once a week.

T1-R's are very good tyres. Got them on my clio. Wouldnt it be better to put 205 profile on 8" rims?

It will be the switch behind the brake pedal sticking on. Not sure how easy it is to change but shouldn't be that difficult.

Are they the rims that fit the Ph1 172?

I thought pcd was 4x108 on clios

Try Demon Tweeks. They are very competitive for tyres. I've bought several sets of tyres from them.

Spacers will put more stress on wheel bearings. Bear that in mind if doing track days with them on the car.

I bought 2 T1-R's from Demon Tweeks in december for £84 fitted.

why not get a set of OZ rims same as the ones on the RS models? They aren't the multi hole style rims that most of the after market dealers sell.

I still say use K-Tec racing. They have some brake deals on at the moment.

Yes halfords do sell ferodo pads. You would have to order DS2500's though. K-Tec Racing are very good for mail order though. and they know what they are talking about!

Have emailed Camskill. Thanks!

I was lead to believe they did a 195/50x15 in the R1-R. Any idea who sells them near Chester?

Yes I like it. I was lucky enough to get a ride in the 200 that won last years cup championship when I was at Brands Hatch last month. Its bloody awesome!

R1-R's were launched at Autosport show. They are between the R888 and T1-R. They are meant to be very good in all conditions and road legal. I'm looking to get some on mine next time around .
