6000k is whiter. 8000k has a blue tint. Go for 6000k mate if you want White c 172 takes d2s bulbs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi guys, Sometimes, when changing gear (mainly changing down i think) it's really hard to actually get in to gear. There is no grinding or anything. It is far worse when cold, and seems to be alright (ish) when warmed up, but still feels a little notchy. I had the gearbox oil changed about a...

You managed to get to the garage yet mate?? I'm going to see Fred on the 30th FYI.

Meh, might be a wire! The bulbs go all the time in these, mine's gone but I can still see it faintly... so whether there are two bulbs, one for day and one for night, and both have yours have gone I don't know?

I had the same issues as number 1, I cleaned my TDC sensor and it's been fine ever since. Mine would fire up, then just quietly die. lol Problem two could be as simple as a loose wire, if you mean that it's completely off/on. If it's the temp display not working I think you can get a sensor...

You can have a listen to mine on the 30th anyway! :-)

All just a bit confusing. Lmao Going to see Fred in a couple of weeks anyway. I'm sure he'll tell me if it's broken. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I had a fluid change at Parkview in Hinckely cuz they're just down the road from work. They are loads better now. I asked them to do a report on pads and discs. Front pads and discs are fine. But I need a new rear caliper and new rear pads. They quoted £225 but Fred at BTM has given me...

I shall be giving you a call then mate!

Cool I'll give the local dealer a call. Just been quoted £190 + vat to supply and fit by an independent garage. How's that sound? They quoted: £79.56 for caliper £26.52 for pads £3-5 for fluid top up £80 for labour All plus vat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi guys, Been having a few issues with brakes so took it in for a fluid change and a report on pads/discs condition. Need new rear pads but other than that all is ok. However, the piston seal has gone on my rear drivers side caliper and it's seizing up. Question is, does anyone know where I...

Lol I have a list of stuff I need to do :-( Brakes being number 1 lol!

Meh!! I kinda like it how it is, just seen loads of topics about "5k Kick" and mines at 4... lol just wanted to check all was well. Most the time I'm rolling around at 2k - 3k anyway because I work in a town. I'm going to look into getting an RS Tuner over Christmas as I'd like a smoother...

And that's when you get "the kick"??

Cool cool!! Finally had the chance to give it some today. Remembered why I bought it!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi guys, I understand that the Variable Valve Timing is meant to kick in at about 5k??? Mine kicks in at 4k (noticeable power difference, and revs increase faster)... Whilst I don't think this is a bad thing, is this a sign of anything to worry about? Or could it just simply mean someone's...

I need to do mine, but I can't be bothered because I'd have to do it by hand :-( Really ruins the car though imo... So I really must get it done!!

Same here. Get some decent tyres and it should sort it. Twitchy cars though. Mine still has the odd spaz attack. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi guys, anyone bought these? Are they anygood? And what sort of price did Ktec used to sell them for?? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250728494979&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Dunno about hazard switch, but number plate light is pretty simple!! The clear cover lifts off, and then if you get underneath the rear bumper you can unplug it and unclip it, I think... It's been a while since I changed mine but it took less than a minute!

24, 172 'berg looking at upgrading to a 197, or megane 225 though!

Seen it a couple of times this week!

Not found any oil mate so mine doesn't sound quite as serious as yours. Been trying to get hold of Fred to arrange going over on Saturday so he can have a listen but his phone number doesn't work... :-( lol

Would make sense to me!

I'm not to bothered about the 182 manifolds to be honest, to much hastle imo. Just want to make sure I'm not losing power on a leaky exhaust! :-) I'll get some gaskets from the dealers and have a look underneath see if I can sort it.

OK mixed response!! haha at least I have some serious answers this time round. DIY job with ramps do you think? Gaskets can't be that much so get em from a stealer I imagine?

Sweet! Don't you have to do some mods to get the 182 one to fit?

Asked this before a while ago but didn't get any serious responses... I was told on my MOT that I have a VERY slight leak in my downpipe (section before cat if you want to call it something else!)... I'd rather get it sorted before it gets worse as I know first hand how much a leaky exhaust can...

Let me know how you get on mate, perhaps post a before and after vid too... Mine seems to have quietened down a little bit recently but still gonna get Fred to check it over.

Saw it yesterday too... female driver I think!
