I got one alloy which has a few curb marks which really annoy me. Can this be repaired/refurbed. How much am i looking at on average to get an alloy done.
Thanks
Fitted my new led sidelights couple of weeks ago just got round to taking pictures. not best quality.
They go so well with the xenon lights. Much better than those standard dirty yellow sidelights.
I have a 172 ff with aircon.
When i have my blowers on full (aircon not on) It's quite loud as normal. But if left on for a while the sound becomes suddenly louder and sounds different.
any one else experienced this?
I know when you start your car up the OIL OK thing comes up and goes off after 1/2 seconds. but latly when i start the car it comes on and stays on for 5 minutes and when it eventually does come off it resets my mileage count everytime.
Any one else's doing this? Any reason why as it's annoying.
because i want to lower my car at least 40mm i wondered which out of these 2 would be best ie the least crashy/bumpy
40mm apex springs - chose these as i want a 40mm drop where as i know eibach wont give that and cant think of anyother springs.
or FK / HIGH-SPORT COILOVER KIT where i'd lower...
I know this was spoken about a while back but cant find the thread.
I noticed that if i pressed hard enough the accelerator pedal went furth by like a click. Is this meant to happen? Does it do anything? I tried various things but didnt seem to make me go quicker.
sorry if repost
I'm not to sure on what is best for tyre dressing. I'm after something that gives the tyres a nice deep black shine.
I would prefer a spray but is a gel better? Any links to some good stuff? Thanks
Now i have a 172 ff and wondered if it was just my car but when I fill my car the needle goes to the top and the first half goes down sooooo quickly compared to the bottom 2/3 bars.
i mean i go through 2 bars from filling in 25 miles!!! and thats with no ragging. but then it eases off. Really...
Sorry about bad quality they off my phone as didnt have my camera with me. Will get better ones next time. It looked shiny in real life anyway lol.
Took ages cleaning it lol
is this really the cheapest i'll find for 172's

Thats so expensive and not only that but it dont lower more than 50mm at the back which is gay as i want 60mm.
Any other good makes that will give good handling and...
I have a full powerflow exhaust system and sounds mint. However I have noticed that when I accelerate I can hear the engine running quite loudly seems to be coming from front left. It's kinda like as if the centre box had blown or something. Which it definetly isnt as just replaced it.
Do...
Since I have owned my 172 (4 months) I have had this constant bruise under my left foot lol. I used to have a corsa where the clutch was light as anything compared to the clio.
Is this just me ? lol
I have a standard 172 mk2 phase 2 . I got a mate who has a 1.8 sri corsa and is spending about 1k getting cams fitted . Would his car match mine or will it still be slower.
I know some people rev the car slightly as they turn the car off. Im sure i read somewhere it clears the system or am i completly wrong and is it just chavy?
I'm confused. Right i filled my car and reset the mileage. The next time i went to fill up i had done 260miles and filled 45litres or so (about £44 of petrol.)
I did a calculation on the internet and it said my mpg was 26 lol.
filled the car with petrol and when i started the car where the milage normaly is had "Oil OK" written but stayed on for a minute which is a lot longer than normal. Is this ok?

Could I use this or is there no need as i use srp then egp then p21's wax.

I used it for the first time on the weekend and is it normal its a pain in the arse to buff out? I Applied it and pretty much buffed it straight away with sonus microfibre towel and even after doing it on each panel i can still see the stuff on the car. I was all fine after i used the gloss...

A lot of people on here will be biased but before i bought my 172 it was either that or a 206gti 180. I've seen a few around latly and i have a soft spot for them but try and make myself feel better in thinking my clio is better in handling and a bit quicker.
is this true lol? Would 172 pahse...
I really want to do this some time in my 172 phase 2. How much is a turbo itself and what other parts would need changing .
