Much better. Not sure about the tyre size though, sorry.

Thats wierd mines an x reg to, and it was also when i was locking and unlocking it, never happened on a normal journey, maybe it needs the 60 seconds from when locked to figure it out... I shall experiment...

Purchased, painless! Eagles are on their way.

To be honest I tend to take it easy everywhere so no probs there, its only on a rare occasion it gets opened up properly but enough to keep me occupied. Alex.

Similar problem, i had a couple of times this summer, i tend to unlock the car from the key fob, then give it a second before i open the door then pray, no problems so far, maybe the delay means we are triggering the alarm before it has had a chance to turn off, what worries me is that surely...

eagles it is then. Thanks.

Youll have to excuse me, I dont know which tyres would be the best but i want all round long lasting grip, just been doing searches on the forum, but if the GSD3's are better then please let me know as I'd rather have them... Cheers

Its only illegal if the tread is exposed past the body of the car, ps you may not care, but when its raining and your kicking up excessive spray and the person behind slams into the back of you bacause they can't see your brake lights which are probably smoked, and your car ends up being written...

Thank you very much, was gonna get Yoko A539's but they would def be my second choice, gonna check prices so if yoko's are way more ill get GSD3's. Cheers.

Dont think its the wheels spinning, although come to think of it it does do it in the wet to and that when the wheels do ocassionally spin. Damn it, gonna try the mounts and take it from there, as thats the cheapest option. Cheers.

This is exactly the same as mine, but mine does it in 1st and 2nd on the odd occassion if I nail it, never does it when driving progressively. I'm gonna get some uprated mounts and see if that solves it, will post when done, prob gonna be about 3 weeks from now though. Alex

What is the standard size, 195/50/16? trying to order on line but got 307 at work not 172...

I'm begining to feel like this too and I havn't even sold it yet, in the process of selling it to another member strangely enough, just getting the finance cleared first, it's a 172 Mk 2 Ph 1 and I don't drive it at the mo as I don't want to put any more miles on it for the new potential owner...

I thought that may be the case, as I can't seem to find anything further that can be done after lots of searching and research. Thanks edde.

Bumpety bump...

I am trading in my 172 Mk 2 Ph 1, boo, i know but need house deposit. I am p/x ing for a beautiful little RSi which has already been tweaked a little and i just want to know what else I can do. Heres what it currently had done; Hill Power modified cylinder head fitted and eprofiled...

I've had mine for 1 month and it's been really hot and it's only held it's memory once!!! What fuse was blown OMS? I'd like to change mine and see if it will hold it's memory... french electronics indeed...

Are the ph1 front and rear spoilers expensive, easy to fit? Very interested in these following above info...

Standard springs, in good nick though, saw them last week, ill try to remove a bit of air out of the rears, they are running to manual spec, poss bit high. I agree with the whole there'd be one if it was needed theory just thought id see what others thought...Really want to keep it standard...

My Ph1 172 2000 clio sport is very skitty at high speeds, would a rear spoiler help keep the back end planted a bit better? Has anyone made this modification, it's more for safety and drivability than looks, is there a sensible option, or will aspoiler have no effect whatsoever, help, and...

I just bought a Cliosport 172 and it had a minor service, 4 weeks ago but has done 47k now... do I still need to get the 48K service or do I now wait for a year? Also any Idea on how much the service is and parts that may need replacing, had the Lamda sensor done, recently. Any help would...

Garage I bought it from replace the throttle body, not sure if they just cleaned it though (can you do that) or replaced it? Accelerator now drops back to idling speed nicely as soon as i lift off. Hapier now. Still a tiny bit stiff but a heck of a lot better. Also new runner again under...

My accelerator is stiff and has been sticking at around 2,000-2,500 revs when I lift my foot fully off the accelerator pedal. The garage has just said that its the throttle body and not the cable. Does this sound right, and does anyone know how much the throttle body is to replace on an 172...

My passenger seat wont slide forwards either, dropping it off tonight to get it looked at... hopefully an easy fix, lets hope.

I'm getting exactly the same problem, gonna get the engine mounts looked at next week and take it from there. Sound like uprated mounts might be the way forward, deamon tweaks seem to do an uprated set for about £37 that are advertised to solve this problem. Ill post here when I have any...

Tappet... possibly, if so not much you can do.

So the usual bits then, esp will be missed... not! Found a phase 2 but it had 80K on it and was 2k more!, and 3 previous owners, this ones had one owner and averaged 8k per year, still got A/C so thats ok, faster, good, like it. Booked at 6.8 s 0-62 is that about right or is it diff in real...

Just bought a cliosport 172, x reg 200, with 46K on it, nearly got a 182 sport 6 months ago, but needed a cheaper second car. I am assuming it is a MK2 phase 1 at that age. What does the phase 2 have over this one? Ive been doing some research but have struggled to find a competent...

Do you know what the max depth would be, that would fit? What do you mean by mdf spacers, any pics?

Alpine sell an interface for their head units...
