Right, just pulled up at a roundabout and notice what I thought was the car in fronts exhaust fumes coming up the front of the car, then realise it's coming from under the hood. No warning lights on the dash and the engine temp is pretty much dead centre i.e. half way. Got it home with no...

Had a set of 6x9's a couple of years back by these guys and couldn't fault them. Not interested in anything other than a nice set of front speakers now I've got the 172 and would be interested in getting a set of these. But the mounting depth is 68mm. I know this is deeper than the plastic thing...

Hi I've got these poxy locking wheel nuts which came with the car and one is fubar'd to the extent the key won't stay on when you try to undo the wheel. I've seen this thing at halfords...

Quick question - I've got my rs tuner ready to go in the car, laptop etc. One thing I'm not clear on is the battery charger. I've got one but there is a warning sticker on the bonnet saying not to connect a charger unless you've disconnected the wires to the car from the terminals first. As RS...

Anyone got the windows driver for the old version of the rs timers before the install files came on the tuner? Need a copy so I can get my laptop to recognise the old tuner I just bought so I can get it working and buy an unlock license. Any help much appreciated

Hello! Have been searching but can't find a thread I know I've seen, where a guy was having the same issue so suggestions on whats knackered much appreciated. Xenon on the passenger side has gone all orangey and feeble and on turning on and off a few times goes greenish. Does this indicate...

Anthracite wheels and bullets you went past me at the pengam green roundabout.

Hi Mangled the ribbon wire in the squib while getting my wheel off and now have a new squib to fit. I can get the wheel and airbag off and all 4 of the 4 visible torx screws in the squib off, the screws holding the console on and the screw at the back of the squib which looks like it holds it...

Hi Never washed my previous beasts with anything other than a car wash or bucket and sponge before but now I've got a decent car in the 172 flamer, have read a few threads on here and have decided to give a few products and this 2 bucket method a go. On a budget at the moment as new belts...

As is traditional when I do something on my cars I've made a mistake somewhere along the line. Basically swapped out the old wheel for a replacement 172 with intact thumb grips. When I got to the point of pulling the old wheel off the spindle it was a bit of a struggle and when it popped off a...

Some advice on this much appreciated. Saturday driving in the pissing rain and oil warning light came on. Then after a few miles went off again. Check at start up on the trip computer thing which showed all ooo's which means full. Drove it again in the dry and no lights so read a couple of...

Hi Have just got a 172 with aircon and it doesn't seem to be any colder than the climate control (probably needs regassing) but I am also in need of an Aux belt change in the next 1k miles (cam is ok for another 20/30k) and given the price difference between the cup alternator belt change and...

Hi Have reposted this as originally thought it was the timing belt (doh). Pictures attached but basically having looked under the car the wheel which according to the Haynes manual is the wheel attached to the power steering pump is completely loose. I can't see whether it's snapped off or...

Just took car into Kwik fit for an MOT and it failed, minor bits, insufficiently supported rear exhaust, offside coil spring incomplete and lambda playing up. Wasn't too happy with this as kwikfit fit put the exhaust on about 2 yrs ago and I was under the car yesterday changing the oil and...

Parked in a supposedly 24 hour manned NCP on Saturday in Southwark and some scum bag did my car and the two next to it. No security/parking guy anywhere to be seen and paid £18 for the privilege of having parked my car there. May as well have left it in the f**king street. I'm going to replace...

Have just managed to very simply sort out what I thought was going to be either very complicated or very expensive. So I thought I would chuck it up on here incase anyone else has the same problem sometime. Basically if you are as clumsy as me and somehow manage to let something unfreindly...

The Mrs is having a very odd problem with her 1.4 16v Clio (its an automatic :S but i don't think thats relatated to the fault) which has me stumped. Basically every day she drives about 11 miles to work down the motorway. Almost without fail about 3 miles into the journey the EML comes on and...
