i wouldn't risk it as you may struggle getting insurance on it. Greenlight told me they wouldn't touch my car as it had been rated as cat c even if i fixed it and got the vic check done

Kind of sorted its got a ghetto stealth exhaust now. Still need to fit the blueflame soon

Good lad becareful when you get it all fix :)

you killed my wheels already?

I went to a garage asked nicely and they undid it with the airgun for no charge. it took them two seconds to do it :)

I don't think there will be mate the specs usually stay the same

mine did this recently and the fuel cut off switch had tripped under the bonnet (the red button near the battery) i pressed it tried the car again and it started first time

Greenlight didn't. i'd of left the interior in if that was the case

Gutted i wanted them lol if you get them i'll swap them for a tube of smarties :)

I declaired that i stripped the car out just to be on the safe side. It didn't put the policy up but they did make a note of it. Insurance companies will do anything to get out of paying

Hi mate i'm not far from Manchester either. Get along to some of the northwest runs round wales and the lakes you'll have a great time

at least you know it will only get quicker :)

i did all new engine mounts and driveshafts on my old one that was on 75k, that made a big difference to it.

Not really unless there is cv grease all over the wheel, thats the only real give away

Beast!!!:)

i think you may have scared him off lol

If you are remotely mechanically minded you'll be able to do it your self its not a difficult job

Depends on the model the ph1 172 has 15's as standard

I paid £90 for each side not fitted. look at paying £35 an hour labour at a garage. It'll not take longer than an hour to fit

don't do it! you'll be able to spot it a mile off

Ive had two both ph1 172's first http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w160/c1io172/SP_A0190.jpg second http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w160/c1io172/eric/SPM_A0228.jpg

mine always get driven hard, they should be just a reliable as the pug. keep it serviced and they will be fine. you don't tend to see that many people on here having problems with them.

got a 172 on 110k and tbh it doesn't feel any worse than my old one that was on 75k. keep it serviced and it will be fine. i'm going to see how high i can get the milage on it lol

You've not seen the new one i got yet. You'll have to nip up some time and see it

well it goes like a 1.2 may as well badge it as one ;) ok maybe not quite that slow lol

Has anyone replaced all the suspension and subframe bushes? is it difficult to do? The 172 i bought is on 110k and the rear subframe bushes are shot. Seen as i have all new engine mounts and driveshafts to go on it i may as well replace everything else while i'm at it. i'd be greatful for any info

Nice site i like that a lot :)

if you rent an engine crane you should be able to do it yourself just make sure you make a note of where the wires go etc before pulling it all to bits

The halford pads are made by ferrodo and have to be made to renault oem spec
