Less signal than usual but its all working ok.

Both track rods and both steering arms were about £180 If your nearby give Fred a call. Hell check it over for you.

Clio mate. Replaced track rod ends and steering arms and it was still doing it. My next port of call was going to be front shocks and springs. Although there was some wear to the front ARB bushes so I was going to polybush the front ARB and wishbone. But as you probably guessed I got offered...

This. If it was the washer bottle it would be leaking out over your passenger wheel.

That name rings a bell. Lol Yeah. Averaging high 50's Mpg around town. I really like it actually. And its not THAT slow.

I'm a stockingord person. :-) but I don't have my RS anymore :-( picked up my pug on Thursday.

Love these cars. Very nearly bought one but Ford couldn't do a good enough deal.

I have 5000k lights. A ton better than standard. Make sure you replace both sided otherwise it'll look crap.

Mine is top mounts I think.

It's 'nearly new' I appreciate its boring but it'll be nice to drive something reliable and cost effective. As said before, I hardly ever get chance to open up the 172 so I don't think ill miss it. Although, I have been driving it like I stole it since I traded it in. Haha

£15 mate. They cost £40 new I just want rid I don't use them. They'll be sent in a box that my replacements came in so they're clipped in and won't get damaged.

I followed a guide that was to repair/replace door lock. Goes through where all the screws are for door card.

I had this on mine when I first bought it. Took door card off to discover two of the three bolts that hold the window framework in place were rolling around the bottom of the door. Re-fastened it and all was good as new.

I did it the easy way and paid someone to do it :-D lol

Gone 207 diesel. £20 a year tax and between 50 and 70mpg. Slow as s**t but I don't drive anywhere I can use the 172 properly anyway so I'm not bothered. I pick it up on Thursday.

Try giving the existing one a clean with electrical contact cleaner first. It'll improve it loads and may mean you dont have to order one. Good luck :)

If service light stays on get a fault code reader. Could be something really simple :)

They are f***ed!! lol, but as above if you can refurb your self and get cheap tyres they might be worth a punt!

Anything is possible if you have enough cash!! I think that would look pretty awesome to be honest! Perhaps if you message one of the carbon fibre guys from the For Sale section they'd be able to give you some advice and feedback on cost etc...

It sounds like a HID Kit? If so it should sell pretty easily. :)

TDC is a good place to start. Your symptoms sound about right, it just sort of struggles and then splutters to a halt? You say the airbag light goes off, does the service light go out as well?

Not sure about the starting issues. May be the TDC sensor, although not sure where this would be located on the 1.2. My 172 started 9 out or 10 times but on the odd occasion would just splutter to a stall. I cleaned the sensor and it sorted it (although it's coming back now so a new one may be...

The Clios that DO NOT come with Xenons from factory are h7 fitment. However, if your looking to replace bulbs in a car that has factory Xenons then you need D2S bulbs (I happen to have a pair of 8000k D2S bulbs on my shelf at home if you need some :cool:)

I've heard burning em out is the easiest way. I got mine off eBay, saved me a couple of quid over Kam Racing and came the next day.

Just getting ridiculously expensive to run mate. Plus, everytime I think its finally fixed something else breaks... got my self a nice economical oil burner. Lol

Cars been sold so not changing bushes. I'm afraid I won't be able to tell you if its made a difference. Although it seems to have settled down loads.

I'm selling my 172 now. It's got to much for me. With petrol and insurance going up its stupid.

I thought it was too. Another dealer wouldn't offer more than £1750 What you reckon for a private sale?

2002 'Imported' Iceberg 172 on 80,300 miles Cup turinis with Eagle F1's all round, some kerbing to two alloys (standard 172 wheel as spare with contisport tyre) Cam Belt Kit, Aux Belt Kit, and Dephaser done in january by a specialist near to my home... New engine mounts fitted in January (Upper...

What is that hose for?? I saw it and couldn't figure out what it was lol
