get down to the scrappy, new console with cig lighter tenner. the clips holding them in are so fiddly it's a nightmare to swap, plus it'd prob cost the same!
i'd take off the cover for the drums and have a peak, maybe somethings come loose? one of mine slipped slightly and made a terrible noise! the light is just related to the handle i believe not the actual brakes!
i'm in crookes atm, tho moving 2 eccy rd opposite the renault garage lol! i think our local rep dissappeared, there's been no sniff of a meet for ages :(
if they're standard, renault can supply new ones, as above, think the code is on the case. if not, there may be a few dodgy garages who can get em off easy, if you can't get a tight socket whacked on they maybe ur AA guy? they have a tool, but he might not do em all lol! i spent hours drilling...
that makes me moist... :O and ur in sheffield?? not seen this beast around!! we need a sheff meet, some real quality metal knocking around! beautiful ride fella :D
lol, get a pulling tool, not expensive and comes off easy with it. i tried and tried cos i couldn't be bothered to search the garage for one, when i finally did, came off with a few turns. always get the right tools, amount i've broken cutting corners!
Re: Insurance. Fookers!
jeeez some scary quotes on here!! i pay 400 quid for my rep with the flux, fully comp everyting declared, they said if i do the conversion in the summer and turn it into an almost genuine 172 it'll only be 700! thats not taking into account ill than have 4 yrs NCB. over...
lol, i'm not sure, me and my mate were laughing too much! it did look like a weapon, turbo sport is probably right! there's a a corsa b nearby with a genuine 12v badge and a frauds V6 bage too!
not good. poverty spec bumpers, but fogs and dual optics, lexus lights, stick on badges and van windows!!! bad times :dead: didn't wanna take more pics in case i got robbed dodgy area lol!
saw this parked up just off granville rd where all us commuters can still park 4 free! 182 in chrome lettering on the back, and a cliosport logo, old school style, to the right of the rear window. was gonna take a shot, but was chucking it down!! guessing a members, never seen it b4.
WESTWOOD??? PMSL!!
install looks awesome mate, i tried making door builds once, smashed them in rage, were awful!! pc and touch screen are the bomb! ;)
just noticed your reply to this, came out at a 90 degree angle, ie top stud hole 90 to the left, then came out with wiggling and swearing. same for back in. i've repeated since to get a cat on for MOT and i know another member managed it as we were both talking about it at the same time. lot of...
just the plastic bit, you'll know when you hit metal!! just hack all the plastic away. it's prob why gearknobs r so expensive on ebay, no1 can get them off!
lol, i hacksawed my knob off! :S
to get the clocks out you have to get the top off the dashboard, after that it's quite simple. you can't just swap different clocks over, they have different screens depending on the year, fault lights in different places, etc. i fitted 182 dials to my ph1, but...
cup spoiler ftw. if you've the money. french plates? can't tell on my chaff monitor if you have rear disks. tbh, ur rep looks spot on, maybe look at a sweet subtle install, perhaps some basic engine mods?
not related, but does your car live on chesterfield road just after the somerfield garage toward woodseats? there's often a white 197 i drool on my steering wheel over as i drive by. if not, ur car is equally awesome fella!
thankee! hopefully i'll have enough loan left for the ph2 bumper in april. the ariel does look a little like my car is remote control doesn't it?? never really thought about it lol!
i've also colour coded my rear bumper, wanted a 172 ph2 one but funds are stretched! for those eagle eyed, i've removed the rear wiper, and made a blanking plate, but i'm leaving it off till i finish the tailgate. i'm welding up the holes on the rear next week, and colour coding the boot release...
I've not posted on here for ages, busy busy xmas, 50 odd hour weeks, plus all kinds of uni assignments, but i've managed to finally get time to do some modding and scrape together cash for some wheels!! :D
i guess the first post should be of my new rims! 16" OZ Titans, cost 180 squid on the...
no they pull off pretty easy, from the front. don't need tools, easy to pinch lol!! you side strips just slide back on the front, forward on the rear, no clips to break.
