Just bought myself a lovely ph1, but when coming to a stop it more often than not sticks at around 2k rmp idle? This can be solved by blipping the throttle when it happens, and then it settles back down? Is something sticking? Possible air leak has been mentioned, but wouldn't this be...

In Bristol I met this funny talking chap and we chatted for some time... (nice chap I must say) He then took a load of my money and the keys to my old car with a smile on his face :( Thankfully he had something for me in return...... I am in love.... Full spec.... Smoothed bonnet...

Everyone always talks about using these to prep things, rather than a fine wet and dry paper, just wonder what they are? After google'ing I've found this thing that resembles a washing up sponge, but surely that can't be right?!?! Are they really ok for prepping something to paint? (something...

I have a 1998 1.2 8v (d7f), should I be able to see the gearbox sensor from within the bay? Or should I have to get under the car? Basically I'm 99% sure that my speedo sensor isn't the correct one (well what Renault should have fitted) All pics/comments welcome.

Anyone had any experiences with these guys? I can't seem to find the 172, do they no cover it? When getting a quote you have to type in the model manually and it offers you options as you type, i.e you type "clio" and it offers "clio authentique, clio RN" etc.... Only need a day's worth to...

All suggestions welcome... Need a quick answer as need one sharpish.

Ok, I'm guessing this question can be answered by any engine guru's as i'm pretty sure its not saxo specific.... A good friend has a 1.1, 2000, saxo, and the other day accidently didn't pull the filler cap back on the coolant, halfway down the motorway car overheats and coolant has splattered...

After seeing these recommended on here, and ranting about them to my gf for ages, she bought me one as a suprise for my bday... What can I say, buy one, they're amazing, the matching background is such a nice touch, and the vinyl sticker may not look too thick but my god its hard wearing. I'm...

Very wet and rainy but your motor looked cracking (as you may have guessed by me conastantly slowing down/speeding up to get a look) Couldnt see a sticker... Anyone off here?

I know the iPhone totally back's itself up to your computer when you plug it in, so plugging in a new iphone means you can have it back to how your one is in a matter of minutes, but what happens the other way around??? I have an iPhone full of stuff and I'm about to reboot my computer, I've...

I quoted myself on a 172 (ph1) when I turned 21, and was plesantly suprised that with my mum as a named driver I returned a quote of £800 TPTF. Now I have found a car I intend to buy and will be 22 by the time I insure it, and the lowest quote I can find in my own name is £1400? SRS WTF? Now...

So... MikeB off here asked me if I could sort out some 172 alloys he'd sourced from someone, with the description of "they're not in too bad condition" I accepted.... So I went and got the wheels, "not too bad" wasn't quite what I'd call not too bad but still... I got to starting work on them...

Right, the time has come, the 1.2 is going up for sale just before the new year and I'm wanting a 172, whether it be ph1 or ph2. I have a budget of 2.5k but this could go up a touch if necessary. All models/miles/colours considered. Been looking at yodi's ph1, but it'll need some money for...

We've all been there, out without a nice camera and see a moment we'd like to capture, so out comes "the phone". Feel free to add stuff you randomly capture in here, and if you really want some past stuff... but try to keep it to new ones :) Caught this this morning with the iPhone on the way...

Getting an unburnt (I think) fuel smell in the cabin when the car is idling... 1.2 8v btw Its fine when driving along, but when stuck in traffic or sitting at traffic lights for a while it comes through the vents (If I turn the blowers to 0 then I get no more smell) Any idea what it could...

Anyone know the location of this? Have tried a search but it seems to be throwing up stuff for 172's of 1.4's most of the time. Cheers :)

Need a bit of a hand with the hard wiring of my fogs... I havent yet picked up the switch, but I assume its going to have three prongs: Live Earth Switched live This correct??? Now how do I wire this up to the lights themselves? Some diagrams (I think i'm going wrong somewhere) A blank...

Any one else experiencing this? I'm getting a 0.99 mb/s download and a 1.0 mb/s upload???? Thought it was my comp being funny, not the net, oh how wrong I was, spent all night messing about with comp, no avail, one simple speed test, BAM! Will be phoning o2 when i return from work tmrw. :(

Who is best to do it? Any website specifically? Got an old sony erricsson w800i I want to use on my new job (will be on site) and don't want to ruin the iPhone. Currently locked to orange, obviously want it to be o2. Are there some sorta torrents that would do this FOC? Cheers

Went with the missus, I've only got a half decent point and click, but I got a few that I was happy with. All comments/crit welcome :) And a cheeky one of me and the mrs ;)

Followed you from crook log down to hurst road roundabout about an hour ago, unsure if its anyone on here? (and no its that Giraffe'y motherfucker)

Can you?? It has come out of my mk2 ph1, but I believe it to be a mk1 motor and mechanism as it works on changing polarity. Many thanks to those who help

So after my previous problematic threads I finally went for it today and managed to get the motors from the scenic (which I assume are the same as the ones in 1*2) working. I have the motors spinning in both directions with the switch, great. Now here's the issue's: Just took my motor half...

PLEASE HELP After buying some ph1 172 door cards and fitting them I have come accross a serious problem. The ph1 172 switches did not fit as my electric windows seem like an after thought. These are the switches in question You can even see (from the back) where the door card has been hacked...

If anyone happens to have their door cards off at the moment or have had them off recently could you answer me this simple question.... Which of these 6 pins does the live/earth (or positive/negative i dont know) go to? It should be easily identifiable as there are two wires that run to the...

Ok so picked up an interior off of James at JMS, I only wanted the door cards but bennnyboy182 wanted the seats... the passenger airbag had gone off, so I (being handy with a needle) offered to fix it for him. Finished this today and refitted the cover onto the seat. The resutls... Previously...

Today around 3pm. Anyone?

Went down to Rob's (TheEvilGiraffe) and he gave me the use of some of his products and equipment. Unfortunately no sun at all, but tried to get some ok pics. I also fitted my centre caps today, so I added a pic of that in too. Centre Caps All comments/criticism welcome :)

Is this the electric window switch I need? i.e will it fit into the door handle? have aquired some door cards but they have no switches...

Not the nicest of days, but I gave the car a clean since fitting my newly refurbed alloys and lowering it :) I fucked up one centre cap whilst painting, thats being fixed at the moment and then they will be back on (I think) Or do I go for no centre caps, new shiny things to cover the end...
