For the other 99% of the population thatd apply Fred but I'm working down south this week and the car is 300 miles away. Bit of a trek to return a £4 part. I'll go ask at a main dealers tomorrow.
Just been into Eurocarparts and it (typically) came up with two to choose from. One was £4 and one was £9. I haven't taken the old one off yet so am not sure which one i need. I assume the more expensive!?
04 plate 172.
As far as the swirl flaps go, for the sake of £100 labour I think i'd rather just let someone do it. Removing the manifold looks a bit fiddly for my patience span.
The xenons are lovely, though people keep flashing me every 2 mins. :)
Yep mine has full dealer service history and was Inspection 2'd 700 miles ago, so i'm good to go for a while, but will get the oil changed every 8k I think. I've got a receipt from a local garage for an oil breather, so not sure if it's already had the vortex thing put in, but i'll get PMW to...
Dave I don't bloody believe this....I bought exactly the same car last week, in black!
Mine has Xenons, though yours appears to have 3 rear headrests! I'm loving mine. Haven't actually had 5 mins to look at mine yet, but hoping to give it a wash this weekend and take some pics.
I've been...
Love the yellow's. I've had them on my last 3 cars and they're on the 172 now. Take all sorts of abuse and keep going. Current set have done about 18k of mixed driving! :)
The only thing an RS500 will be doing is going from 0 - 60 into someones garage and staying there.
Can confirm the 200 Cup is rock solid. Struggled to type a text message in one the other day, bad times!
(Would love either).
Apparently the strong cross winds caught the parachute as it opened putting a sideways pull on the car. This would seem to tie up with what can be seen in the video. I actually wonder how much of a braking zone there was as you'd assume a well modified car such as that would've had pretty decent...
