I changed my oil last sunday at a mates house,
and today the oil waring light went on, checked the oil
and its all leaked out from the filter!?
What the hell could cause that?
It's a brand new filter, it was hand tightened.
Suggestions?
I think it was a 54 plate Iceburg 182.
Nottingham Rd, Eastwood 2pm
You had your girlfriend in the passanger seat.
Car was looking proper shiny!!
Puts mine to shame.
Rare as rocking horse sh1t, never seen one before.
Thought it was a cup at first but it had all the R27 stckers on it.
Being driven by a middle aged man, flashed you but got blanked, I was in my Iceberg Silver 172.

I rang them up to confirm the price and a guy answered the phone

Spent half an hour bending over the engine,
my back is ruined now.
Been meaning to do this for weeks,
after seeing everyones mint cars at the Matlock meet yesterday it made me want to do something to mine.
Ive been searching the web for retailers but
I can only find them on GDI and Yozzasport site.
Loads of people sell the max groove ones but I dont want them,

All this belongs to a mate, he's not on here so he's asked me to sell

Before I post in the for sale section I need a rough idea of what there all
worth, I could get prices from...
Before everyone starts screeming "USE THE SEARCH BUTTON!"
I have and cant find any info on weather they actually
create meaningfull downforce. (An hour of reading is enough for me)
All the threads ive read only go on about how they look.
Did any of you notice any more frount end grip after...
Was just wondering if anyone had a picture of
team dynamics pro race 1.2 16" in silver on a iceburg 172?
I've searched but can't find one at all.
I know everyone gets them in Back or White,
I just wondered what they looked like in silver?
Is it possable to remap my 172ph2 with someone elses
RS Tuner Box?
Ive read that all I need to do is pay to have the software unlocked,
if someone is willing to do it, there is some beer in it for you.
Does anyone know the torque settings for the frount suspention top mounts?
Ive done a search and found the torque settings for the Bottom bolts that connect to the wheel, but cannot find the top mount settings.
Ive tried to undo them myself and they will not budge at all.
I had prolines...
Its most likely the top mounts.
The thing I dont get is where does the washer go that sorts it?
Do I have to take the dampers off the car or just undo the top
rubber bit under the bonnet?
Before everyone slags me off for not using the search function,
I've used it for the past 2 days and...

You were in a white 197 with black cup stripes
and cup spoiler, not sure if it was a cup or not
I was doing 80 going southbound so it was a little
hard to see Cup on your B pillar.
Looked proper nice, never seen black stripes before.

Ive had them for ages, the guy who sold me the car said they were off
a 182cup, not sure if he meant a proper cup or cup packed 182.
I just want to know if they will fit my 172ff ph2?
Rear Springs with red & white stripes.
Frount springs with yellow & blue stripes.
Frount Shocks...
I'm considering taking the back seats out so that my
German Shepard has more room to move,
will I need some form of strut brace in the boot,
or are they a waste of time & money?
(Sorry if this is a dumb question.)

Spotted a Iceburg silver 172 with private plates and a recessed duel
exhaust, looked like a milltek but not sure, looked nice mate.
Would of hung around to chat about your zorst as i'm saving
for a new one, but I was in a rush.
The coolant in my 172 is getting low so I went to
halfords and got some top up mixture which is pink
however the coolant in my car is green.
Whats the deal here then?
I've read as many threads as I can be arsed with and
could'nt find a definative answer.
Both my Power Sterring fluid & my Coolant are on minimum,
i've been to Halfords and got PAS fluid Dlll GM-417M it says general motors
on it but it also says compatable with Renault. (is this the right...

I know were all sick of hearing about this problem,
but it still remains!
Ive read so many threads about it and still have no clue
what the problem is, this is such a common fault
I cant believe no-one has a definative answer.
Ive had a diognostic check, it said brake pedal switch.
That...
Just walked past it on my way to the subway, parked in the
car park of the Stag & Pheasent on Lockhurst Lane, Foelshill.
Ive also seen it parked in the car park of Enterprise house
where I work.
Very Nice.
Sadly this isn't my car its my mates, hes not on here because he
doesn't own a computer, so I thought I would put it on the site, he just had it sprayed and fitted today.
Finishes the car off IMO, just diddn't look right before.
We were wondering if anyone else has had a cup spoiler fitted...
Why do we have to declare mods?
Lets say worse case scenario, you write your car off and
your insurance company keeps the car in order to process your claim,
how are they going to know its been modified?
Obviously IKs, ITBs, body kits, non renault alloys are going to be noticed, but what...
Anyone know how much a full cambelt sevice is for a 172ff
from Yozzasport? (Cambelt, Auxbelt etc)
Also how quick can it be done?
I emailed the company yesterday but not had a reponse yet.
Thank in advance.

Coventry.
Nicer than my filthy rocket mate. (silver 172ff)
Yesterday I had the 172 in a local Renault specialist to get
the brake pedal switch replaced because the T/C warning
light kept coming on when im on the motorway.
I've just driven down the M1 and it came on again!
Is it because the fault code needs canceling,
or is it because its still broke?
Where do I start?
The other day I came out of the shops and the car
would not unlock with the key fob.
I unlocked it manually and this set the alarms off,
key fob would not switch it off, even though the light
on the key was flashing. Eventually it reset itself after
5mins and pressing the...
