Need to get a new air filter for the Ph1 172, best one and best place to get it, any of the traders on here? I did a service on the car recently and didnt change the air filter so need to do it. If its worth up-grading then I may consider, but maybe just a better quality "performance" one to go...

Not noticed this before, but how quick on average should my engine increase engine temp from cold? I noticed it was a bit quick this morning and then after work I timed it, just sat in the car for about 3mins and it was already on the 2nd spot on the dial. Maybe me being paranoid but I have...

Going to paint my engine cover to match theaccent colour I am going for. Was going to paint wheels and mirror covers orange in the Plasti-kote stuff as I have heard good things about it. Was wondering if anyone has doen the same with their engine covers? If so, undercaot it or not? As I was...

Thought about doing this since I joined the other week, but not really done much in that week on the car! But thought I would just say what the plans are. So the car has been owned since October 2012 as a replacement track day car for my step dad, brother and myself. This is it on the first...

Basically, what the title says!! I have just remebered this issue from last time I was at Castle Combe in the Clio. Coming out of Bobbies and the Esses was always a little tricky with what gear, as third was an ok gear to go into them to take it steady (I slow down a little for the corners so I...

It turns out my car doesn't want me to check the fluids and open the bonnet. It is now a two person job to open it! Someone has to pull the lever and the other has to gently persuade the bonnet to release with a little pull....my arms arn't long enough to reach inside the foot well and to the...

After a free/cheap/reasonable legal video editing software. Got to be able to cut film clips from longer files, add music and possible text. Was using the GoPro software but as my camera isn't a GoPro it doesnt allow for files to be cut and certain sections removed. Trying to make an edit of...

Have found a tow strap in the garage, as you do (and a steering wheel boss for a Clio), and was going to fit it. But looking around at what people have done and need to do as it wont fit on because of the bumper and I dont want to cut it, so need to mount it on an angle bracket. The holt in e...

I have read that it was a bit of a gamble with the kit you got on your Clio, and one of these is a shift light. My 172 is from 2001 (X reg) and it is the one with the aluminium bonnet too. The shift light is on the instrument pannel, along with a tyre pressure light, but the shift light doesnt...

Hi! Decided to join after a while of owning my Ph1 172. Bit of a long story to why I bought this car! Basically it was the family track day car, then I decided to sell my everyday car (an awesome Skoda Felicia) but needed to sell it first before I could buy, but would be car-less and living...
