cheers mate, should it be a constant noise?

ahh good point on the name thing, hadnt thought of that! Dave, cheers mate, appreciate you digging that out for me

wow this thread is fustrating looks a normal 172 to me?

ive been thinking about a skoda splitter, but are they a bugger to fit? heres mine but the damage on it and bodged repair just wind me up!

As the question really. Ive got a non cupped 172 that's got a plain black soft plastic splitter on it. Did these come with them standard or was it just the cups. Done a search and couldn't find the answer. Only asking as it's looking worn and if it's not standard it's coming off!

I was just having a nosey around the car then. Key in and turned slightly, no sound from engine Key in and turn to point just before starting and engine makes a faint whine noise, engines off and nothings moving but this noise? Ideas?

anyone?

it wasnt me but thats a cool plate!

saw you coming towards me this morning around 8.45?

morning, quick one really, ive read on here that to tell the difference between cup springs and non-cup springs they have 2 colour coded stripes? could someone let me know what they are please and where on the spring they are roughly (i.e. will i have to take it apart or is it a case of full...

What astra have you got jay? Yeah I moved out but wanted to save for my own place and couldnt do it while paying rent at the same time. I thought you'd moved to another part of the country to be honest!

Went to birchdown for it mate. Not a million miles away and cheaper than most too! Yours looks good mate. Sell it to someone local?

so far ive had it in to get the belts done, dephaser, service, nearside spring, offside ball joint, and a 2nd hand ecu/uch. been busy! the old gti felt quicker but maybe because it was less refined, but as a daily car i cant grumble at all. did you have a 182?

yes mate i know who you are! oh so you didnt move a million miles away then! i only got it about a month ago, had a company car but left the job and wanted something fun again!

no no no, mines the wakefield drive one, Gary who used to live over the road from you. my reg is s999 but no big daft exhaust!

Young jay it's mine mate, (the s999 one anyway)

I used birchdown for aux and cambelt kit, dephaser pulley, no water pump as it had a recent one, service and that came in at £6??. Great fellas, I borrowed their van for the day too! I think they're great, not sure how great as I've got nothing to compare them to. But my mind is assured in the...

Add some digits to those figures mate!

sorry for sounding like a novice, but strut top mounts being top of the suspension? mine are squeaking like a pig at the moment (i think its them anyway) and so if i ring renault what you reckon will get said?

i understand all of your views to be honest, and input as well, thats why i posted because some will agree and disagree, suppose thats what a forum is all about. im not saying its 100% the fault, my understanding was that whatevers wrong with the car will through up a code which said machine...

Lowest form of wit is sarcasm. People on here slate renault when it comes to prices/quality of both parts and work so I thought I'd try it another way. And if I took it to any other garage I'd imagine they'd have a generic diagnostic machine, same as the rac would have at a guess. Sorry I fail...

Speed sensor as well. eBay £20.

Tdc sensor the same as speed sensor?

Car has been randomly cutting out as I'm slowing down at junctions/lights etc. Wasn't sure what it was, rang Renault who wanted £50 to plug it into their fandabydozy machine an tell me. Not paying £50 for someone's 5minutes work! I had an idea, I rang the rac and told them the truth really...

Recently my 172 when on full lock to the right only was making an intermittent squeaking noise. Took it the garage who replaced offside ball joint and near side spring. Full lock it still does it, less, but still. Garage reckons it could be top of my suspension (apologies I don't know what...

know anyone else locally with a car that looks extremely similar to your pic

sorry to hijack this thread, mike did you play football in neston lastnight?

cups have blocks (no washes) others have headlight washers (thats how it is on 172s anyway mate)

i know this is an old topic but everyone says to do a search! happening to me recently, cut out at junctions/lights, clutch down and starts again fine. seems though when ive started her back up the mpg,trip etc are all reset? did you guys ever resolve your issues?

first post says thats what he was planning on doing on the 20th.
