4.75 litres without a new oil filter , 4.95 litres with a new oil filter iirc . Check out the threads on changing the oil filter , bit of a fiddly job .

^^^^ Full fat has all the toys , leather , air con , xenons etc ^^^^ Whereas the cup just has the dynamique interior , no xenons, no air con , correct me if i'm wrong .

Lucky you , enjoy the Grand Prix mate :) Who ya rootin for ?

I'd go back and tell him that he's f*cked up , fitting a smaller than standard bore pipe . Maybe somebody could measure their 172's pipe and give you the correct size so you can go armed with the right info .

Thats what my mum uses on her leather 3 piece suite , the guys from the shop recommended using em ;)

Car auctions mate , but you might not get what you want for it , quickest way though .

Try Yell.com mate http://www.yell.com/ucs/UcsSearchAction.do?keywords=WINDSCREEN+SERVICE&companyName=&location=BIRMINGHAM&searchType=classic&Submit.x=21&Submit.y=9

Me too ! Go Tesco , Go Tesco , Go Tesco .... :rasp: lol

Anydvd for region free and removing copy protection .

Tescos microfibre cloths , £1.37 , i use em for , drying the car , removing polish/ wax , wiping down the interior .

^^^^ Yep , fully synthetic .

^^^^ Its expensive but according to some people on here its the dogs b*llocks . http://www.opieoils.co.uk/performance_lubricants/silkolene.aspx

They're all roughly about the same pressure , usually around the 120bar mark . I use a Karcher to wash off the loose dirt first , then shampoo it , then wash the shampoo off , shampoo again and then carry on by hand with the 2 bucket method and lambswool mitt etc...... Lots of choice out...

Dry cloth will pick up the dust well , acts like a magnet for the dust .

Probably just the pads bedding into the disc . I used ebc greenstuff pads and turbo groove discs ages ago on a Pug 306 . I did find that the discs can warp easier than a standard disc , but you can look forwards to havin nice , cleaner alloys than before , hardly any dust created :) I bed...

If its dusty i use a microfibre cloth . If its a bit dirty AG vinyl and rubber care .

^^^^ True , they locate on the inner wing . Forgot about them bein' plastic :S . Cheap n nasty French crap , lol ;)

Seen companys sellin em before . You could probably just get standard struts off any car in a scrapyard alot cheaper and use them . Loads on ebay mate . http://search.ebay.co.uk/gas-struts

Looks stunnin mate , as said 2.0l badges and Renault badge look good in black , really suits the car .

To rip and burn a dvd , clonedvd for me , or shrink .Just for burning i use nero .

Doesn't look that bad tbh . Might look better if the wheels matched the mirrors and door handles .

Agree , 50mm bore sounds way too low , 63mm is standard iirc . Sounds like it could be restricting the exhaust mate .

12K Service at Sunwins Preston is about £130 , where the f*ck do they get £216 for a 12k service from ? Sounds like coil (s) or plugs to me . Had to change mine on my old 172 at 30k , so much for 72k plug change eh . Hope ya get it sorted and its not too expensive , but then again its...

F*ckin hell ! I ain't seen one of them since 197??????? ;) lol

It smells f*ck all like a new car ,lol !

If your using a hammer , don't be afraid to give it an almighty belt , i couldn't shift mine with a hammer , had to borrow a bearing puller from work then hit it with a hammer . It was on solid .

Bhp aint everything anyway . The new mk3 has 197bhp and it has a lower top end . Power to weight ratio is where it counts and good handling .

^^^^ Snob , lol ;) ^^^^

10bhp is f*ck all . I've had a ff 172 , now got a ff 182 with both cup packs . The 182 handles better but the 172 was quicker , probably due to the fact that the 172 had 47k on the clock , my 182 has done just over 1k , can't wait for it to loosen up a bit .
