about 5000 miles ago.. lol im on 20K now for my 51 plate.

16" heavy mofo 5 spoke wheels... Bling bling.. the non 172/182 2004 models have the same design in 15 inch (and some non eu market 172s run 15s)

Tells you in the handbook DOT5 or something isnt it.. better check.

No hes called animal.. here is a recent pic of him.. http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1074076983__animal_muppet.jpg

E-mail them saying you will shortly be recieving a letter from my lawyer, I am sueing for 10,000 Euros compensation.. that should do it !

My best mate was in that add.

Sounds like a bit of faulty wiring, the stop light shouldnt come on with just a faulty handbrake switch. Im sure I saw this flicker in my car while going round a sharp corner but its never done it since, and to be honest i wasnt sure it happend the first time.. I might have just imagined it.

I think you will find that braking in general in snow isnt a great idea, its more about speed and selecting the correct gear. However I do agree that you can probably slow down quicker in snow without abs. However if you are doing less than 6mph, which you really should be if its heavy/icey...

Last time I checked... to use ABS properly you pushed your foot on the brake pedal as hard as you can.. its not rocket science is it? Well Renno are wrong then, apart from the fact there will be aftermarket options you can always do a scrappie job as mentioned already.

Yes you can, its a straight fit and its a popular mod for 172 owners.

Welcome to Cliosport.. on your left you will see the resident nutters, and on the right you will see the mental patient.. Here is your newbie poke.. http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/poke.gif

Ye just prey that you get the actual insurance document, I had hell trying to get my insurance documents from them and they tried to argue about my NCD. They kept sending me temporary cover notes even though I paid the full amount.

Well as you can see we are all a friendly bunch in here too. I have had the odd tussle with an RS and it only really shows its power once you get 70-80 mph, before that I was right up his ass. But thats probably down to the restricted boost in 1st and 2nd. Lovely cars, not too sure about the...

Yes, just select the screen that you want to reset.. mpg, odometer etc.. then hit the button next to the screen.

lol .. did you even look at the link.. the switch is wired directly into the fusebox, all the switch does is replace the fuse with a switch so that when the switch is on it thinks there is a fuse in the fusebox. Hence you ARE effectivly pulling the fuse hence you will get 50/50 distribution.

its 1.6mm, and as said there are normally like lines inbetween the tread so you can feel if you tread is low.

Congrates to both.. well done.. still means your 1 star down on us mods though. :devilish:

lol @ telling him it says in the handbook but not actually telling him what they are.. nice one.. that should sort the lazy git out.. ;)

Dont take this the wrong way but didnt you feel like a muppet too for taking your key to a renault dealer just cause the battery was flat ??

Tell you dealer to give you the now 182 equivelant.. they are the same price after all.

what happend around the oil plug though.. looks unfinished

Wow, what a great comment, so cars with leather and alcantara are for grandads now.. old school hot hatches ?? welcome to the year 2004, the hot hatches are still as fast but are more secure and safer...

To remove the plastic cover on the top of the engine there are 4 torx screws, undo them all and the cover will come free.

If its turning over then the battery isnt the problem. Could be the coil packs. Its a process of elimination. You need fuel, air, and a spark to ignite. You have the engine turning over, do you have a spark ? is the engine catching on but not quite starting.. or not even attempting to start.

Good thing youve got a v6 then eh dash ;) That should make up for your driving inadequaces a bit. :devilish:

Mine is on 20,000 miles now and it is flying .. (mk2 172)

NO, dont wire the orange wire straight to the battery for gods sake.. you could pretty much kiss your HU goodbye if you did. Could even cause a fire. If the orange wire is supplied with 12v it thinks your headlights are on and will dim the brighness of the HU to make it easier on your eyes at...

Im sure it was worth it though ;);) , typically a new import 172 costs about £12,000 OTR
