Like i said , Autoglym engine and machine cleaner does the job just as well ;) plus you'll have loads left over compared to the small bottles of cleaner K+N sell ;)
You can buy a kit for cleaning and re-oiling the filter . Personally i just spray mine with autoglym engine and machine cleaner on the outside and rinse under the tap from the inside then let to dry naturally . Then re-oil with k+n filter oil .
If you removed the rear silencer you wouldn't be able to live with the noise , try it and see ;) Plus you'd soon get pulled by the police for noise pollution .
^^^ Why would the 1*2's be any different ? If they do snap ,use a drill bit and stud extractor to get it out . You only need to nip them up , not swing on them . Like i said before , if you overtighten them you risk snapping the top off .Just use your common sense when tightening .
You can use the original bulb . I have the smoked repeaters with chrome/ amber bulbs from here :

Bleed nipples cost a few pence . As to the comment on always braking bleed nipples from dangerous dave , if that's the case , then you've tightenend them up too much in the first place .
Chriscliomk1 , get yourself a haynes manual . It's easy , just make sure you keep topping up the brake...
I agree with Alexs , possibly one of the worst adverts i've ever seen , which doesn't instill confidence tbh . At that price it could be worth a gamble though . You could run it and see how it goes , who knows , it might run sweet as a nut and need little or no work doing to it .
Welcome to CS mate . Your doin' alright for yourself aren't you . An ATR , Octavia vRS and now your lookin for a 172 all at the tender age of 20 as well . Whats your secret lol ;) .
I'd always go for a lower mileage car . Granted you can't always guarantee it's been better looked after than a higher mileage car but the less miles it's done the better imo .
I'd go for the 182 with cup packs , they handle better than the 172's imo ;) Loads about so if the mileage is a concern leave it alone and look for another .
^^^ I don't recall anybody asking " are they difficult to fit " :S . They just look bigger than the Clio washer jets so maybe the holes in bonnet on a Clio aren't big enough ;)
This stuff won't rip or kink when you bend it , very strong stuff . They also sell on ebay .

^^^ I don't know where you get the idea the plugs are good for 100k . The recommended interval is 72k or 5 years . Personally i'd change them before that . Mine only last 30k on my old 172 .
The amount of shampoo in the water is tiny , a couple of capfulls in 25 litres . You can actually use Karchers as pumps , for emptying things like fish ponds . As long as the pump is powerful enough inside the pressure washer you should have no problems using my method ;)
The fault i find with those foam guns is they run out of shampoo too early , they are just too small . They do foam well though but obviously only at low pressure , i use mine from time to time with any shampoo and it always seems to produce decent amounts of foam . No need to spend loads on...
^^ I use warm water and shampoo at high pressure , shifts the majority of the dirt before i attack it with the washmitt and 2 buckets . It depends how good your pressure washer is tbh . Karchers are designed to be used as pumps so they are good for sucking up water as in the method i use :)
I wouldn't waste my money on these expensive foam lances tbh . If you already have a decent pressure washer do what i do . You get plenty of foam at alot higher pressure than these lances .
