Been reading some posts seems like i should be moving my back tyres to the front and putting new tyres on the back?????

Seems like i only just changed the fronts and they need replacing again so dont want to spend any more than i have to on tyres

Was thinking about trying Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 instead of contisports on my 172 are they a better tyre for the 172 and do they last longer? Is it ok to have these on the fronts and contis on the back?? ps. excuse my cluelessness :)

Been loosing water I've put 'rad weld' in the water and it seems to have cured the problem how long will it last?

In this picture mine look more like 6000k than 4300k i like the blue effect but i dont like blinding people are the standard bulbs 4300k or 6000k? http://my.frooition.com/08100085/images/T54001-C1.jpg Need to change them as one has blown so was going to replace them both they around 30...

- HELLA 5DV008290-00 Ballast - HELLA 5DD 008 319-10 Ignitor - D2S Bulb I know this is the right bulb and ignitor but is this the right ballast to go with them? If my bulb flickers a few times when i first turn the light on but doesn't come on what do i need? a ballast or an ignitor?

I've had a quote for £190 so far from a parts place i think this is just for the ignitor?

Yeah i tried alloys on my car that a lot of clios have round here and looked so much better when i put originals back on. Clios just dont go with fancy alloys looks odd. What about anthracite turini's? Also those alloys above have a crome lip thats going to stand out and emphasise the...

I think it must just bewhere its clipped to the arches then as i'd undone all the bolts but it felt as if it would snap if i pulled any harder. I'll have another go i've put all the bolts back in now though lol

They're the original xenons on a 04 172. So there's no point in buying a new bulb? Can i get the ballast from anywhere other than renault? cheers

I took the bolts out of the top of the headlights, the two bolts under the wheel arches, i've undone the bolts securing the plastic to the plate underneath the car and i've removed all the torx screws underneath the bottom lip. It still seems to be attatched behind the bottom...

My passanger side flickers when first turned on but doesnt ignite so does this mean its not the bulb? Ive taken the bulb out and the blue round thing inside the bulb has a white spot on it, is this normal? Are they definitely 4300k? In this picture mine look more blue than these...

So i can go get some from B&Q's :)

Might pop along to that meet not far from me i live in merthyr.

Well its melting and bubbling in the sun and feels sticky in warm weather i ussume its oils off my hands soaked in the steering wheel causing it?

Need something that doesnt make it slippery.

The grey roads in this map round the three reservoirs are great too though i recommend night time runs or very early morning ones as they get too busy to drive fast during the day. http://maps.google.co.uk/?ie=UTF8&om=1&ll=51.839596,-3.355293&spn=0.103306,0.2314&z=12

Aye thats it! Annoying if you get stuck behind cars though! I pull over and wait. If its been a while since a car past i'll pull out when i see next one coming. Then you have a nice long traffic free run till you catch up and get stuck behind something again :)

Haha know that road well! lol. Would of made my day if i'd been popping to asda's and seen those 3 in car park! :) Let me know next time you have a meet! Do any of you know the road over to hirwaun from A470 on way to brecon from merthyr? Then after hirwaun you can take a road to treherbert...

There's a place near me that matches inlet manifolds and sells them for £250, then give £100 refund on return of your parts. Perhaps they would give me few quid off if i get it done on my car and give them an extra inlet manifold too.

Just put in last minute bid of £1! :) Dont have a clue what i've bought. Said this is what i need to send off when i buy a matched inlet manifold, so is this all i need?? Assume i got myself a bit of a bargain...

Ah a fellow carper! :)

I dented mine had a carbon one for ages that you had to push down then when i put the original back on forgot and dented it! oops! Costs £40 to get fixed.

Oh right i though they did because the meguiars step 1 says it removes light swirls??

Prepare for the strange looks off you neighbours! :)

A paint cleaner after claying before SRP will help with light swirls.

My hose is three different ones joined together must be over 60 metres long to get it to nearest place i can park my car!

Guy in work does this he uses the brush at a jetwash, he's always had nice cars which are always spotlessly clean he untill the sun comes out and you see every mm of paintwork covered in swirls! Looks awfull! Plus it must cost him a fortune! I have to add when i say his car is always...
