    Oh the noise, the NOISE!

    Check this out: http://www.noolmusic.com/blogs/Cars_Motocycles_Trucks_Wheels_-_Victory_By_Design_-_Ferrari_Test_Drives.shtml Its over an hour long - I hav'nt watched it all yet - but the first few minutes are worth it just to listen alone :approve: (I can't claim credit for finding this...

    Monaco Blue 172: Henley Rd, Reading Sunday night

    Overtook you just after the lights by Caversham Park. Thought it was another Cup in the dark! when I saw the xenon's realised it was'nt :( Flashed my hazards as a hello btw, was'nt trying to incite a race as such. Still I was going for a bit of a burn anyhow ;)

    One lucky Cup

    Was just out driving near where I live following a crap Toyota at 30mph. Two blokes stood on the curb wanting to cross and get into a taxi. One of them decides to run in front of Toyota. Bit dodgy but fair enough; no real danger of being hit. Now at this point I've watched the runner get...

    Little black spots

    Washed my car at the weekend for the first time in about a month. All down the left side of the car on the bottom half of the door/rear wing were small black spots that were an absolute b*****d to get off :mad: Any idea what this is and how to get it off? (I gave up on some of it, was...

    Squeeking brakes in reverse - worn pads?

    Theres a squeeking noise when I reverse, usually with some lock on. Just read an old thread that suggests that this is a sign of worn front brake pads. Is this true? I think my pads are on their way out anyway, so this would make sense. (I'm checking the pads at the weekend) Thinking of...

    Eratic windwipers

    When on the slowest setting my wipers sometimes stick in an extra 'wipe' randomly (which ain't too bad, but is a bit odd) When I use the screen wash sprayers the wipers do a few 'wipes' in quick succession - very well; does the job gets the screen nice and clear - and then stop, only to do...

    Quick bonnet question

    In order to push out a dent in a 172 bonnet does the bonnet have to be taken off, or is it left on the car? Reason I'm asking is recently I had a small dent (caused by the previous owner pushing the bonnet shut - in the middle at the front) removed by an accident repair place. Today I noticed...

    172 cup A4074 r/a (R***CUP) Sunday

    Came up behind you as you went on to the roundabout turning left. Gave you a little flash :) (think I got a wave in response). Who are you? I've seen a cup a couple of times on the A4074 before.

    Squeeking in reverse

    When I reverse out of my drive in the morning I can hear a high pitched squeeking noise. Its only started happening this week. Any idea what it is? Is it just down to the cold perhaps? (I have'nt noticed it when I get to the station car park - by then things have warmed up a bit)

    LCD TV extended warranty - worth it?

    I'm going to buy an LCD TV soon, but I need help deciding the best deal. I know which TV I want (Toshiba 32WLT66) - no suggestions on that please;) The question is: is it worth paying for a warranty up to either 2 or 5 years, or just stick with the standard 1 year manufacturers warranty...

    172 Cup; Caversham, Reading 6:40am Sun

    Nice clean cup. Drove past Tesco express whilst I was parked up waiting for my mate to go on a little breakfast run. Shame you didn't stop and join us!

    Too much oil?

    Checked my dip-stick earlier and it seems to read over the top indent by about 5mm. Is this a problem? The manual seems to say it might be but I'm not sure. I'm thinking the previous owner may have overfilled it slightly. Then again the car had spent the night parked on a slight slope (I moved...

    Reasonable miles covered during MOT?

    How far should my car need to be driven during an MOT? Its in on Saturday and I want to be able to tell if the Renault grease monkeys have taken the piss. (Paranoid? - Yes )

    X reg silver ph1 172; Cholsey

    Spotted parked up tonight about 6:30. Had after-market alloys & exhaust along with two CS stickers on the back (my first sighting of CS stickers yay!) Also saw a racing blue 182 on the A4074 going the other way earlier on. Think the driver waved or maybe I imagined it! I'm too slow of the mark...

    Removing '172 cup' badges.....SAFELY

    Wanna take the numbers off and leave the 'cup' badges. They fell off one side so I want to even it up! Whats the best way to do this so I don't damage the paint? (Pretty sure this came up recently, but could'nt find the thread by searching) Cheers

    K-tec stealth: they're supposed to be quiet right?

    Just had a stealth and sports cat fitted. I picked the stealth because I thought they were barely louder than standard but it seems alot louder to me, particularly low down. Not sure I can live with it like this, loud exhausts are'nt my style. 1. Has the sport cat added volume? 2. Can the...

    Best detail brushes & applicator pads?

    As above. I need some brushes for in between badges etc. Currently use Black Magic pads, but not very impressed. They comprise of a foam pad with a stiff back. Problem is the stiff back starts to peel off quite quickly and is also easy to catch on the paintwork scratching the wax - this is...

    Quick K-tec stealth question

    Read on here that the K-tec stealth exhaust is a Janspeed exhaust - can anyone confirm that is correct? So I can just buy one direct from Janspeed or Demon Tweeks and it'll be the same thing (and cheaper hopefully!) Cheers

    Silver Cup: Caversham, Reading

    My first sighting of this rare beast. Very nice, and just round the corner from my house. Saw it parked up on Kidmore Rd at about 18:30 today, anyone on here? Plus just after that a Red (Inferno?) 172 ph2 passed going the other way. RS clios seem to be everywhere at the moment!
