Talk of the devil these are for sale in the car parts thread by the new owner of the car!! haha!

You got any kind of theme going?? I have an iceberg... I personally don't know what colour I'd choose. I think out of the colours you've mentioned I'd personally go for yellow...

My mate had his turinis refurbed in anthracite with a polished rim... they looked great!

I had the condensation issue, it was just down to the rubber cap not sitting on the back property. Failing that, some people have put a sachet of silica gel hidden away in the back of the light on a fishing line (for retrieval). Theres a thread about it somewhere. RE the clocks re-setting I...

I did my headlights. Well worth it.

Don't think I'll get away with lowering my car now though :-( there's literally a couple of millimeters between the splitter and the floor at the entrance and exit of my works car park, and my drive at home!! Lol

I put my mum on my policy, saved be £400! (Not that I let her anywhere near my car... lol!)

Can't complain for £12!! Have to manipulate it to fit but looks fine!!

Textured.

If you take a look in your handbook, it should give you all the service intervals and what is due to be changed at that mileage etc... Sounds about right to me though.

PM classicsheepflavour, he changed his when he had a Ph1! I don't know how often he comes on here, maybe try emailing him via his profile?

Parked up outide Morris Hair, about 13:15. Looks standard with black 197 alloys.

Hmmm I may not bother then. My pressure washer died so can't be bothered speeding £50-£100 on a washer, and then another £30-£75 on a lance.

Damn I'd buy one of those for £7!! There's a T K Maxx in Nuneaton, I'll pop in on Saturday and see if they have any!

Re: Iceberg 172 Cup Project I love this car!! If only my iceberg looked half as good as this I'd be over the moon!! Absolutely LOVE anthracite 2118's on 'bergs!!

I heard there was a watch type battery that dealt with the memory of the dials but I've yet to confirm this. Please don't go dismantling your car 'til someone confirms either way... Lol! I have this issue as well but haven't changed my main battery yet!

Good job mate. I got a couple of screws to adjust on mine.

These are the plugs that you should get... NGK PFR6E-10 http://wap.ebay.co.uk/Pages/ViewItem.aspx?aid=140338343207&ebayref=http%3A%2F%2Fcgi.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2FNGK-SPARK-PLUGS-RENAULT-SET-4-PFR6E-10-%2F140338343207%26autoredirect%3Doff&sflag=1

That's a weird one mate. Maybe when your engine mounts are changed it will reduce the chance of it happening maybe.

Ah I see :-) thought I'd been fobbed off by a garage for a minute. Lol!!

1*2 is an abbreviation which means both 172 and 182... :) I've heard they run like shite if you use cheap plugs. I got a full set of the recommended NGK ones off eBay for about £35 I think. Do a search for spark plugs on here and you'll find the correct ones.

Ah I know what you mean now. It should clip in. And to unplug it you have to press the clip in so that it releases. I suppose if the plug is damage it could work loose. I'm afraid I have no idea how you could stop that happening :-S

+1 After speaking to Fred it would probably cost about the same to put a new engine in anyway... Probably even more expensive!

I had my dogbone uprated recently, but also changed the other two anyway. (2002 172 on 78,000 miles, still running original mounts!) My car feels 1000x better than it did, and apparently my upper gearbox mount was hanging on by a thread so it's a good job I had it changed. You will notice...

I think thats an OK price from a dealer, I wish mine had come with 12 months warrenty it would have saved me at least £1000!!! lol Looking forward to seeing some pics I love Arctic Blue!

If it is a spark/coil issue I got my plugs off eBay. The 1*2's are really funny about which plugs they run on, NGK Platinum something or other... do as search and you'll find the right ones.

I see one going in/out of Nutts Lane quite alot. Don't think he's a member... :(

Cool thanks. I'll pm 'em after pay day.

They do. Hardly any MOT stations seem to care though.

Cheers, they come in two sections correct? Front and rear?? Or is it just one big sheet of plastic?
