    MOT fail on 'legal' number plate

    I was told by a copper it was because of the ANPR, when he had a moan about mine cos they are the 3d font ones. Been on there since i brought the car and don't really wanna have to change them but mot is next month so may well have too.

    Sunflower PH1 - Midland Road, Higham Ferrers

    Looked stunning under the streetlights, stood out a mile off. I hate seeing them because it just reminds me how plain my titanium looks :(

    pressure washer - this any good ?

    The only thing with the K2.21 is it doesn't have the vario lance so you can change the pressure. They cost £30 ish IIRC. Worth trying to find one with that on, as you don't want to be using full pressure all the time or you'll take your paint / stickers off!

    o_O lots of steam!

    Had to top my coolant up a couple of times recently, not much but enough for me to be thinking hmm cold have a problem here. Had a nose around the engine bay and noticed the t junction near the bottom radiator connection had coolant residue around it. Anyway on the way back from work this eve...

    Cable throttle

    £18 ish from Renault £21 is inc vat. Had to buy one the other day. Think you can only get them from Renault. And wait for the confusion on the end of the phone when you ring up and ask for a throttle cable for a 172 :rasp:

    Coolant Colour

    The stuff I have, The hafords advanced doesn't say a type but says it meets the requirements of renault 41-01-001, which i assume is theie spec for coolant. Will it hurt it if i put the wrong type in?

    Coolant Colour

    My Coolant was getting a little low, Only like half way between max and min, nothing drastic so thought i'd top it up. Brought some pre mixed stuff from halfords. However went to do it and the stuff in there is blue and this new stuff in red. Will it hurt mixig it or does the colour signify...

    inlet manifold dimension

    Easy enough to measure the wall thickness with a mic. The casting will have a fairly uniform thickness and is probably about 3mm or so. Most stuff we cast is about 3mm wall section. The only way you will find out without measuring it is if someone has a working drawing for it which would be...

    Brake Disc screws

    Cheers, thought so as my old fiesta had stupid little washer things to do the same job. After you'd taken them off once and put them back on you might as well have stuck them on with chocolate! All sorted now and new discs on. Still get slight steering vibration which i thought was being caused...

    Brake Disc screws

    Am I right in thinking the 2 screws that retain the brake disc are purely there to stop it falling off when you take the wheel off and under driving conditions the disc is secured by the 4 wheel bolts? I am changing my front discs and one of the screws isn't moving for love nor money so i'm...

    PH1 172 Rarity - Features?

    Yep have the alloy bonnet and shift light. :approve: Is it just me or is the shift light sh*te! Its behind the steering wheel so had to lean down to see it. Then again maybe it's just cos i'm a short ar$e!

    PH1 172 Rarity - Features?

    Good plan batman! I blame being at work at stupid times! You'd think working with aluminum all day i would have thought of that myself :o Shift light shall be investigated...

    PH1 172 Rarity - Features?

    How do you tell if you've got an alloy bonnet? And don't say it's lighter than the steel one as I have nothing to compare it too! Also where abouts on the dash is the shift light if you've got one? Don't think I have cos i've never noticed it.

    172 Ph1 Door Trim Colour

    Right, What is the difference between Titanium Silver Ph1 172's with silver door trims and ones with black ones. I don't mean where people have added Ph2 side strips. I have seen some as standard with black, but mine has silver as standard apart from the 2.0 badge. Does it signify a diferent...
