For the past two mornings i've had the "SERV" light come on and the oil indicator on the trip computer come on. I've checked the oil when cold and it's on minimum so a top up is in order however, I can't remember what oil I used it's either 0-40w or 5-40w. Which ever one I use it's bound to...

My exhaust popped twice today as if it was burning unspent fuel, thing is I have a standard cat? I've often thought I heard it doing this but just ignored and put it down to having a loud exhaust, (GDI/Piper Stealth) Anyone know why it would pop with a standard cat?

Hall Green Rd 11:20am, driving away from Bell Green as I was driving towards it. I was in a Iceburg PH2 172.

Gonna be changing mine soon and just wondered if there are aftermarket/uprated ones I can get, or is it only standard? Also same quetion with track-rod ends? Sorry if it's a stupid question but i'm a photographer not a spanner monkey;)

PH2 V6 Parked on the Bell Green Rd, I drove past at about 11:40am It was a greyish colour, first one i've seen since moving back to Cov, very tidy.:cool:

Will I fail an MOT if I remove my acoustic valve? I know its for EU noise regulations, do we have the same rules?

Where do I get an induction hose without the breather pipe? Everyone that sells the samco for a 172 has the breather pipe attached. I would just order a lenght of pipe but I don't know the dimentions, apart from the fact that its a 90 degree bend.

Need to clean my ITG so Ive put a k-tec filter in, when I first got the ITG it was really well oiled, so I assumed the k-tec one would be the same but it felt quite dry / not very oiled, is that normal?

I'm sure i found them for sale on the k-tec website in fibreglass & carbon fibre but there not there now. If you've changed yours where did you get them from?

Lockhurst Lane 1:00pm I was coming out the sandwich shop opposite the Stag & Pheasant as you drove past, car looked lowered and sounded like it had a meaty exhausts possably a stealth system as there was no visable pipes.

For ages I thought my rear speakers were blown, but I got a new head unit fitted the other day and the sound quality and bass is loads better. So now my speakers buzz/vibrate on tunes with heavy bass, when I press on the speaker covers it stops, any suggestions on how I get rid of this?

Sainsbury's Island, Phoenix Way 11:45am. White 197 with RenaultSport decals all over it. Looked nice!

You were coming out of Carey St onto Bell Green Rd at 10:40am.

At least I think it was you, RB 182cup with cliocup stickers on your side skirts. I was a car behind you approaching Sainsbury's Island, almost beside you at the lights, I beeped but you diddn't hear me. You tuned off into Sainsburys, looked like you were going shopping with the Mrs. Car...

Blue 182 parked in Barracks car park, I saw it as I was leaving at 2:00pm.

Twice now the fuel warning light has come on and the fuel guage says I have a whole notch left, it use to come on when it was on the red line.:S Anyone else had this happen? Which one should I believe, fuel guage or warning light?

Just got my MOT done today after it failed yesterday on emmisions and one fog light.:dapprove: The exhaust was blowing from the join between the cat and centre section, exhaust putty sorted that. One of the fog lights failed (the only thing I forgot to check) new bulb sorted that. Advisory...

I've had my car re-mapped with an RST for about six months now, and when I originally read my ECU I saved it on the laptop. I had a look at the folder today and I only have the original cal. file, is there supposed to be another file in there? When you backed up your original ECU did you...

I know this has been covered before and yes I have done a search, thats why i'm a bit confused. A few posts mention seperate pumps for windscreen and headlights but GSF and euro car parts only stock one pump, do I need two of them or does one pump control both windscreen and headlights?

You were at the lights, turned right onto Bell Green Rd, I was a few cars behind you up till Sainsburys island in my Iceburg 172.

At some point in the future i'm gonna be doing this white dial conversion, possibly with carbon effect film in the middle bit. With these chrome dial rings, I want to colour code the dash strips, but I dont know what colour to go for. White to match the dials like this? Or...

Yesterday my SERV light came on, Ive plugged my RST Box in to the car but no fault codes stored? I did a search and it's been mentioned that it could be a low fluid level somewhere, but all fluids are fine. Could it be that my washer jets aren't working?

Wheel protectors.:S I'm pretty sure there plastic, I know your all gonna say they look gash, but I thought they were a good idea, sort of. This is where i'm proved to be in a minority of one! And commence hatred:mad: wwww.wheelsprotector.co.uk

Still going strong, but I have heard that things start to go wrong around this time, so what can I expect? Apart from the washer jets not working, thats allready happened. CamBelt was done a year and a half ago.

I know new noises are normal for clios but this one has me a bit worried. It's a spinning noise, like somethings wearing out, my first thought is Aux belt or maybe alternetor? The cars no longer starts first time in the morning so maybe alternator. The cars coming up to 70k so I know...

Clio Cup stickers on your side skirts. Seen you loads of times, just wondering if your on here?

I was in a Silver 172 ph2, I flashed at you, you pipped your horn back. Car looked clean, mine is filthy.:cool:

You drove past me on the Henley Rd at 11am, I was pulling out of Dame Agnes Grove, Bell Green in my dirty Iceburg 172. This is the second time ive spotted you in the same place you have "ClioCup" stickers on your side skirts. Car was looking well clean, puts mine to shame!

When I start the car up the SERV & ABS lights flash once, this is after all the warning lights have gone out. I'm thinking there's an old fault code logged somewhere but my RSTuner only reads the ECU. Is there a way of reading the ABS unit? Does it store fault codes aswell?

I remapped my car and its great when it works, every now and again it goes back to standard, I plug the box in and no fault codes come up, I erase and refresh anyway and it sorts it out. Ive started turning the ESP off before I start the car and the remap last a bit longer before it goes back...
