I'd consider selling my polished fuel rail too, clueless as to what it's worth though...

Ah, learn something new everyday... cheers.

Mark?

Your's seemed the same as mine Justin, so I'll go with 647 I think. I want to pick as similar colour as possible, so if I don't spray all the 'behind' bits, it's not going to be overly noticable!

Anyone know what colour silver the Ph1 172 (and, in fact, probably all silver alloy) wheels are? Have decided I'm going to try to do a DIY refurb before shelling out for a pro job, so would appreciate someone knowing what colour I should be buying. Am planning on getting it from auto-paint, so...

Renault are quite expensive but I have always found the match spot on, unlike Halfords who are very much hit and miss. I would never recommend anyone to use their mixing service - nowhere near the colour I needed, and they tried about 3 times.

A mild clay is good for wheels, depends how badly it's baked on.

Performance-wise, I don't believe it would be worth the change, so I guess it's down to personal preference on looks and the fact that you'd be owning a newer car. I personally prefer the look of the Mk1, but my second favourite is the Cup, so I wouldn't personally make the change but can...

Cheers, all sorted. I had changed the language settings but hadn't gone into the actual keyboard options...

I've recently formatted my hard drive and reinstalled windows, etc from scratch. Now, for some reason, the @ key comes up as ", and vice versa. Various keys across the keyboard have been inverted in what I assume is the American version. For example, I also have no pound symbol! What option...

That's all fine, don't bother. Make sure you declare your tints, Lexus lights and LED washer jets though, insurance companies are buggers for the detail!

Taylor, I don't mean to have a go, but why is every comment from you recently so negative? So, you've had a bad experience from Renault, you have a choice but just don't appear to be taking it. You're not obliged to post comments in this thread and you are not obliged to own your 172. I...

It's part of life, I recall paying over a grand TPFT for a 1 litre Cinquey when I first passed! It makes you appreciate cheaper insurance when you're of an age where you are ready to upgrade your car though...

I'd guess at a sticking pad or caliper, especially if it seems to be kicking up noticably more dust. Drive a short distance and then compare the heat of each brake...

Resurrecting from the dead, any luck with the remaining pics Chris?

If he's going to do something so stupid then he deserves to get caught IMO. No need to do 150mph on any road in the country.

^ you sure?

I'm currently a fan of Sonus shampoo, although find it's best when blasting water into the bucket to really get the suds out.

Awesome stuff, great to see it being done properly. Oh, and black trim is the future. ;)

If you want AG, you may as well pop to Halfords mate, but all the other things are available at the various online stores above. Oh, and Megs shampoo is passable (Gold Class is good though...), but there are a lot better ones available.

Williams are, in my experiences, quicker, just. Depends on the individual car and driver though. A standard valver should be comfortably beaten though.

Ah, there's where I went wrong, I think I just tried to reinstall over the old partition... Will have a go tomorrow, cheers ears.

How do you format a Hard Drive? Odd question, but in the past I've always had a recovery disc which has done it for me. Now I just have my copy of windows, which I want to put onto the Hard Drive once everything's been wiped clean, but obviously I can't format the HD whilst in Windows, because...

Think I'm all sorted, cheers guys. Found out what mobo it is and have gone to their website and found what I think are the right audio drivers. I now recall having to do this when I first bought the PC, so know I'm on the right track!

Why does this always happen when comparing cars on this site?

Can't see a sponge removing clearcoat tbh, get a bit of polish on it.

I've just formatted my hard drive abd reinstalled Windows and all the essential programs to get it running better, as I do every so often.. ... but my speakers aren't playing any sound and I imagine it's because the drivers aren't installed. How do I go about finding what drivers I need? Is it...

Re: SDV RIP Gutted to hear mate. :( Blame aside, it's shocking how often newly purchased cars get written off. :(

I reckon around there somewhere, slightly more for Ph2's.

Looking great mate, surprising difference made when you paint the bolts - will have to do the same on mine soon.
