Well, it's been a while since I last updated this thread. Unfortunately, not much progress in terms of the further improvements I want to make, but some good maintenance going on. Following the HID kit and brake cooling fitting, when I came to put the wheels back on, as I wrote above, I found...

I'll have a bitter, thanks ;)

Subscribed, I seem to have similar issue on mine. Could it simply be aircon needs re-gassing?

V6clo : Does your car get up to temperature quickly / at all on a cold day on a motorway cruise? I had shocking MPG, turned out the thermostat washer/seal had dislodged...lots about it on v6clio.net

You'd be surprised.....

Alpine did do a display&stalk adaptor, I've got one in the Vee. Expensive but good bit of kit. For the OP, Parrot haven't released any hands-free adaptor at all for the Asteroid yet, although apparently it's "in the works". I've got that Headunit in the 172, again brilliant bit of kit. I'm not...

Do you have manual control or electronic climate control?

I tried but safari won't install the certificate??

Good news buddy, glad you got it sorted!

Well, it's been so long since I posted an update that I struggled to find my thread! Anyway, with Christmas and some V6 expenses, I put some little mods to the 172 on hold until now. This week a few nice little presents turned up for her... Firstly... Which contained... Along with some...

Guys, First off, no hate. I've read the threads about MOTs, blinding people etc. I want to put a HID Kit on my dipped beam, so they're in projector lenses. I'm going 35W and 6000k, so nothing crazy there. This is really a question for people who've purchased kits. There seems to be two main...

Lol, actually I just answered my own question. It seems to be a version with French labelling and instructions, not aimed at French cars as I initially thought.

Guys, massive resurrection here. Is the standard Eezibleed kit ok? There's a Eezibleed "French" version too, what's the difference??

Also interested in this! Anyone got any suggestions?

:clap: I should claim commission!! :)

Hi. My car started to reek of fuel, especially at standstill / slow speed and was particularly noticeable if I had cabin blowers on. Mine turned out to be perished O-Rings on the fuel line connector into the fuel rail. Only a small leak but it was vaporising on the hot engine block and...

Wow, this is awkward. :rasp:

Hi PH1 Fwend, Hope i'm not teaching you to suck eggs, but the feature is normally known as AF (alternative frequency), no option in the menu to disable it?

Looked like it was lowered and had a twin tailpipe exhaust. Between Chichester and Emsworth turnoffs eastbound.

Haha, fair play mate. Sorry I just cost you some ££££ :)

Sure do! (sorry about the scruffy mats :) )

Really? The cruise control connector from the car loom was totally different size and shape to the one in my 197 wheel!!

Oh, and yes CC etc can be made to work but needs some soldering etc.

Done it myself, can be done but not easy. I wrote a guide for v6clio.net, I'll try and get it up on here too.

Haha, I've learnt to keep a sharp eye out, didn't know JRS182's reg number but figured it must be him. Didn't see yours there Chris! I was up there twice, once early morning and then again about 13:30 for an hour or so. We should all book same track day next year :)

Awesome! Saw the 200, black one right? Have got first trackday booked at Goodwood next year (think in May time) doing it in the 172 Ph1 I think.

That's me mate! We're u parked against the fence or one of the ones out on track??

Black Gold with organge badges and anthracite wheels. Looked like an intercooler behind where the lower grille would be, but could be wrong. Parked on Church Road in Chichester (just off the A27) literally opposite my house. Anyone?

Another quick update: So the fuel leak returned with force on Friday when I was leaving work. Luckily flicked the cabin blowers on full to clear the windscreen and was greeted with an almighty petrol smell. Quickly popped the bonnet and fuel was absolutely p**sing out of the fuel rail...
