    No Airbag/Serv/battery light

    Yeah it really doesn't sound worth it to be honest. Where abouts are you located mate? I think I might take that up! Thanks a lot again Jamie

    No Airbag/Serv/battery light

    Another 2 things iv just thought of. The first, which I'm seriously hoping is not the cash, is its a Cat D. I hope that's not related. That was in 2004 though, so I hope not. The second is, the previous owner said the guy before him but buckets in it. Now I'm hoping he turned the light off for...

    No Airbag/Serv/battery light

    Hi Mick Yeah, that's the exact reason I'm panicking now! MOT is due in July. I'm hoping it's just a faulty bulb, but some of the nasty surprises iv been getting since I got it is making me think otherwise... How easy are the clocks to dismantle and check the bulbs etc? I haven't got money at...

    Wheel bearing and CV joint

    Just had a thought, could the whining be related to the CV joint? If its running low on grease?

    No Airbag/Serv/battery light

    Right, I'm probably the first person to moan about NOT having them but here it goes. Bought the 172 on Monday, and realised tonight that the above lights don't come on when you flick the key on. So I did the trip button dashboard trick, low and behold the lights don't come on. Now, was the...

    Cut aircon pipe, is compressor/pump knackered?

    Thanks a lot Jay. That's exactly what I wanted to hear, where abouts is the dryer? It's literally about 20cm of pipe that runs over the top of engine bay. Are the dryers expensive to replace? Might do it as a precaution Thanks again

    Cut aircon pipe, is compressor/pump knackered?

    Sorry if this is the wrong section, tried to put it in the most fitting section. Basically, my Clio which I picked up this weekend has an aircon pipe which has been cut in the engine bay. First question, as it obviously has no refrigerant in the system now, if aircon was turned on, would that...

    Wheel bearing and CV joint

    Alright guys, Just got a ph2 172 cheap. It needs a CV joint, clicks sometimes when turning, it came with a cv joint in the boot, how easy is it to do? Also, I have a wheel bearing going. Presuming its the rear, and I get bearings that are pressed onto the disc already, is it a case of just...

    Going from sky to Virgin media ?

    Allright mate Did a little bit of research for you whilst I was at work last night. The Britton ferry exchange is due to be upgraded to fibre in sep-2012, then it's waiting till they get fibre to the nearest cab to your new build. Also, another bit of good news is that it's FTTC, meaning less...

    Going from sky to Virgin media ?

    I take it when you asked if fibre is the same, you meant about getting low speeds at high distances? If so, Fibre works in a completely different way, it can go for miles with very little signal loss. Plus fibre has much more room for expandability, so you can get much better speeds. I take it...

    Going from sky to Virgin media ?

    You said you have no choice but move to sky, is that because you wanted to? Or is cable not available in your new area? You can email virgin, (it's a specific email for dealing with these enquiries, it's cablemystreet@virginmedia.co.uk), they can then check if it's viable to pull cables in for...
