instrument panel is probably the easiest bit, what colour are you doing them?

It's my mate Fred, ROB91 who's doing the 172 conversion to his 1.2. I went round to his house and got them :S

I got them from a 1.2 16v clio with ABS, and mine has ABS too :S

Haven't taken the wheel off yet but the carriers definately look different, also the new callipers have 2 metal plates on each carrier which my original callipers don't. As long as the spacing is the same they should fit surely...Can anyone shed any light on this please?

£150 is ridiculous, i got my n/s front and o/s rear done for £100 from a local garage. All that is involved is to dismantle the hub, but like you said you need a 20t press, some garages have them and if you know what to do just chuck them £20 to press out the old bearing.

Re: 1.2 Track car Conversion Awesome project mate, good idea to keep it on the low until you got most of it sorted ;) Car looked mean when I saw it, can't wait for it to be finished!

look under the passanger seat, there's a connection...make sure that that is tight, common fault.

I've got a 51 MK2 PH2 1.2 16v and bought some callipers from a 54 1.2 16v, I've just looked at them and from memory they look miles different... Was there a date where they changed? Cheers Liam

dejavu :|

Don't think he comes on here much anymore dude :|

90% sure it's your cv joint.

the second part of your name certainly defines you sir.

cheers for the replies guys, my excess is £650 atm. I rang up Admiral (my current insurer) today about swapping to an A3, they wanted an extra £555 for the next 4/5 months to swap over. I asked them about a 1*2 and they wanted an extra £1.2k for the duration lol.

Cheers guys, according to the postcode grade mine is C so mid-range. I have no points, like I said I will have 2 years NCB come April, I passed my test in June 2009.

I'm 18 years old (19 in April) and on my own policy. I will have 2 years NCB in April, I've currently got a 51 reg 1.2 Sport Rep. I paid £3000 TPFT last year and £1700 this year Fully comp with Admiral. I have my Dad (28 years NCB) and my mum (who had a claim last year but it was a non fault...

I'm 99% sure it'd be the wheel bearing(s). But it could potentially be a CV joint. Jack the car up and see if the wheel has any play...

Is it making the noise louder when you turn tightly?

was it making a droning noise? Was the car rattling at high speeds?

Got it to a garage this morning, they told me it should be ready for tomorrow for £230 + VAT which I think is quite reasonable. They rang my a minute ago, however, to tell me my speedo wasn't working...Anyone got any ideas?

Rang up a couple of garages this morning and they're all quoting £400 + which I think sounds a bit steep, I know it's a big job.

I'm handy with a spanner, I'll buy myself a manual lol. I went out for about 30 mins and I didn't notice it get better, as soon as I got home I popped the bonnet and pulled the clutch cable to see if it was getting stuck or anything...It was dark though so couldn't really tell.

ffs. 3 days before christmas and I need the car :| Worth a crack myself do you think or just go to a garage?

yeah, as if it was wheel spinning but it clearly wasn't :| What does that mean? New clutch? Thanks btw

I don't have the greatest knowledge when it comes to the engine etc part of the car, but over the last couple of days I noticed that my clutch felt really wierd. It was quite stiff to depress and it felt really crunchy, tonight when I was driving home anytime I went over 20mph in any gear up to...

Haha cheers :)

It was only a quick glimpse though haha. Just before it showed the family growing up with the red car (can't remember what car it was tbh).

Anybody else see the LY RS on TopGear tonight when the car was being crushed?

I'm 18, I got the Clio before I passed my test and have been driving for 20 months now...I'm a sensible driver and no way would I fcuk about, no matter how good/sh*t the car is I'm driving. I'd love a 1*2 but can't get insurance for any less than £5000, hence why I've built a rep. My insurance...

Bloody gorgeous car, but those seats are absolutely horrible :(

that vid...really made me want to play on f1 :(
