yeah, had brakes checked and cleaned when I had my service at the same time. very annoying, no garage can seem to get the tracking right!

Following my thread earlier about having the tracking done on the Hunter system. I've now had the tracking done on the Hunter system however my car is still pulling to the right, and to drive straight the steering wheel has to be pushed over to the left. Now, the tracking has been done, and...

Any ideas what the average lifespan for rear brake pads on a 172? And fronts? Cheers

Might be your PAS pump, does it happen in first gear too? get a long screwdriver, and place the metal end on the PAS pump when someone else is revving and turning the wheel. If its the PAS pump you'll hear the whine through the end of the screwdriver Otherwise aux belt / aux wheel / dephaser...

Any guides around for replacing heater resistor, preferably with pics? Did a search but no luck even though I waded through a few pages Cheers

Same here, had two Toyo Tr1's fitted and had the tracking done in three places, still out. Get your tracking checked first! Usually sorts it out. Mine's the garage at the mo, could be steering ball joint or wishbone, waiting to hear from the garage!

Yep, found my local alignmycar place, going in tomorow to have it sorted.

Yeah, pads and calipers have been sorted. Going to have a trip tomorow morning to Autostop who have a Hunter system, fingers crossed itll be sorted!

Nah dude, had all the necessary's checked out and it's a simple case of alignment! Bloody garages!

Taken my car to three different garages now (local/Sh*t Fit/Nationwide) of varying sizes to sort my tracking out, as my car is pulling to the right. Had everything else checked out so it's only a tracking problem. Each time the garages have said "Oh it's pretty out, we've sorted it now" and...

Spotted on my way home from work...about 5.10pm Blue 197 (or 200??) with a red 172 or 172 replica (couldn't get a good look, black wheels) Red pulled into Rhondda Valet, beeped to bluey then I was behind the blue in my black 172.

Thanks, any idea where I can get them online? Cheers

Yeah dude, what are the part numbers?

Do you not use the wipers and fluid when your lights are on then? :)

Drivers side is the one that's broken. It just a seal that needs replacing or the whole knob thing? And is there a guide as to how to replace? Ta

Any easy fixes for stopping a headlight washer jet leaking? Don't really want to f*ck around with taking the bumper off, even though most say it's an easy job. One headlight washer jet is dribbling water all of a sudden. Any way of blocking it off or replacing without bumper removal? Ta

Thought 195 was standard for the 172 and 205 was standard for the 182?

Looking to get a set of four new tyres for my 2002 172 Clio. Would I be able to go for 205/45/16 rather than 195/45/16 for a wider stance? Any likely problems? Lowered on Eibach Sportlines. Ta!

Sounds like PAS pump, had the same with mine. Belts changed = no difference. PAS pump changed and all sorted. To check get a long screwdriver, place it on PAS pump when engine running and if thats the problem you'll hear the whine thru the end of the screwdriver

Usually spot a black 172/182 Sport going up Graig hill over Pencoedcae in the mornings, Pontypridd South Wales, black modded Sport with red wing mirrors and white wheels!

Haha, I know dude, bit of sarcasm back and fore never hurt anyone :) Anyone tried ti22 in newport or prestige reflections in cardiff?

Sorry, we only got electricity last week, bear with us. I'm aware of a few places but was looking for suggestions as to places people have actually tried and can be recommended before I let some dude loose on my paintwork. Sorry, should have been more specific!

C'mon guys, surely someone knows some detailing companies in Wales!!

Willing to travel up to 1 hours drive from Pontypridd, S Wales but no further really!

Yo, Anyone have any recommendations as to where I can go for paint correction/detailing in South Wales? Preferably around Cardiff. Willing to pay a tidy amount but nothing too ridiculous. Black 172, want to get the paint up to scratch as there's a fair bit of swirling going on. Simply don't...

Re: All Pearl Black's & Black Gold's Look.... Beddau, Pontypridd, South Wales (again sorry for the massive pic)

Yep, ph2 menagne spliiter got mine off ebay though, bout £5 i think!

No don't think so dude. I bought the wheels off powey from Gwent on here. I was pleased with the amount of lowering the sportlines gave, thought it would have been less but I don't really want to go any lower than how it stands. As for other mods the only thing I may go for is a Prospeed...

Yeah sorry the pics are a bit big were taken on my other halfs (the 'red head') new digital SLR so just getting the hang of it cheers for the comments

Finally had a chance to snap some pics of my 172 after a good detailing session. Been on the site a while but have not yet posted pics. Detailing wise I'm a noob. Used Megs wash, Autoglym SRP, Carabuna Wax and Red Mist and Megs Endurance tyre gel. Clayed it about a month ago with Megs quick...
