    Dirt inside the headlight...Can I get it out anyway ?

    Yeah hair drier does seem to be the best solution. Tbh even if you just washed the dirt to the bottom of the headlight it would be very hard to spot sat along the bottom. Another method I just thought of which I used to get a stone out of my engine is: Get a hoover and put the narrowest...

    SVS transport Lincs pos clio breakers too ???

    Hey I'm about to buy a front bumper off them. Can't see any ebay feedback from you re coilovers - what happened with this? Did they scam you or was it sorted in the end?

    Caliper Paint on a Flamer?

    Interested in ideas on this myself. Reckon black and silver are probably the only ones that make sense...

    bumper respray

    Hi looking for some thoughts on price really. Got my flamer about 6 months ago now and there is a crease/dent in the front bumper which is really spoiling the look of the car and the lacquer is peeling too so I've been keeping my eye out for a replacement bumper (and under-tray which is...

    Broken passenger window - how to replace?

    I had to do this a while back to fit a new window. If memory serves you need to pull all the horizontal trim off where the window dispaears into the door to give you enough wiggle room to drop the window in. Once it's in you need to find the little plastic clip with a sticky out bit which sits...

    Gtechniq G1

    Theres a vid on YouTube if you search on g1 gtechniq of someone using all sorts to remove g1 from his drivers window and then showing it still repels the water. So whatever they used on your car must have been brutal!

    Gtechniq G1

    Spent yesterday using G4 glass nano polish to tidy up the 10yr old glass on the car followed by G1 clear vision smart glass. Just thought I'd post this up and say the 15ml bottle for under a tenner is fantastic. Have previously used rain-x but this is way better and apparently lasts 30,000...

    Cambelt Failure?

    There are traders on here doing cam and aux belt changes for just under the £500 mark, add your dephaser ontop and you're not being ripped off. I'd see how much your garage want to do the aux belt as well though as it's not worth putting an old one back on. The kits are only about £70 from...

    Quick legality question

    Not illegal to ring although the previous owner probably won't thank the current owner for giving you his number (depends on his personality but I wouldn't appreciate the call). As previously said the previous owner probably won't give you much info. Lets say he did flog it on because it had a...

    KEY PHOB BATTERY

    Just opened up my fob which is also for ph2 172 and it's different to the above pic and is a cr 1220 as per gusy's post. Just open the thing up and check what is in yours. Flat bladed Screwdriver from the back like @Gaz says is straight forward enough Of course the PO may have replaced the...

    headlight levelling??

    Ahh found it on another thread - clockwise down, anticlockwise up. 'You can adjust this on the lights themselves. Mine were crap to start with but are great now they've been adjusted. There are 2 white Allen key holes at the back of the light, give these a few turns anticlockwise to bring the...

    headlight levelling??

    Cheers, its the right one which is pointing up more than the left so def something amiss. As above which way do i need to be turning the adjuster to get the thing to point down assuming I am facing the car clockwise or anti??

    Headlight swap

    As I understand it it's a straight swap from Xenons to poverty spec lights. No need to bugger about with wiring. My passenget xenon plays up btw and I find it's perfect on the auto light setting (i.e comes on when it gets dark automatically) but is flaky on the stalk....

    headlight levelling??

    Can someone at least say which way to turn the adjuster to make the lights point at the floor (from the perspective of standing looking from the front bumper down the car i.e. at the drivers seat)

    passenger side xenon bulb died?

    If both are not working check your fuse box. In the wet it's common for moisture to get in and cause problems with the ignition, it may be some water has caused a fuse to trip. If it's not that then your best to whip both lamps off, take em in the house (airing cupboard overnight is good) just...

    headlight levelling??

    Since putting in a new (but second hand) set of xenons on the motor i've been concerned the lights are pointing too high. Have been flashed by a couple of lorry drivers so today tried to adjust them with an allen key but sod all seems to be happening. I had the engine turned on and the lights...

    A new light on the dashboard of the money pit

    Right so driving home and the below light comes on. Didn't fancy pulling over and calling the AA at 11pm and the stop light wasn't on so drove gently home and looked it up in the manual and read a few threads on here. So I understand its the emissions light which means something isn't right with...

    Main beam headlights at different heights!

    The noise is the car trying to auto level the beam and is also the reason it's moving up and down. Worth trying the allen key route first but my guess would be that while changing the bulbs you probably twisted the igniter without holding the inner parts still and have popped one or more of the...

    Replacing car radio?!

    Don't pay for release keys, chop up an old wire coat hanger or use some thin Allen or torx keys which fit the holes.

    Headlight access 172

    Obviously not a 'clean' fix but it won't break again and I have no intention of selling these on, so pretty pleased with the result so far given all the posts on here saying once the plastic joint breaks your only option is a new unit or fix the inner parts still which presumably prevents the...
