No probs. Just waiting for mine to turn up. :) God I hate waiting for stuff to arrive. I'm so impatient!

What the heck is a "seized spark plug" ???

http://www.thenavigationcompany.com/products/TN0092_Road_Angel_Navigator.html £375 inc VAT. Best price I could find when looking the other day. They also do refurb units for about £30 less.

It doesn't do lazer. But they recon if you detect it then it's already too late as you've been caught!

Also have a look at this thread where Has gave some helpful info for me. I've still not decided for certain, but I think I'm leaning towards the RA just coz it looks prettier and is a bit cheaper. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=132614

Use a watering can. I always do anyway as my hosepipe is round the back of the house and my drive is round the front.

Well, someone had to say it! :quiet:

Mine felt very skittish when going round corners - like the back end was slipping even on slow corners and going over bumps on the motorway. I had the rear shocks replaced and it solved the problem.

Thats nice to know. I see the RA is slightly cheaper. I'm guessing I'd need an external ariel as well so I could put it under the gap in the windscreen or somewhere else.

Good point. I was just looking at the RA, but I'll have a look at the Snopper too. It seems to be mentioned as being good in a few other threads as well.

True ;) I tend to look on the map and see I want to go from X to Y via these roads because they look "interesting" roads - i.e. not motorways so more fun generally - but it usually involves lots of tricky A and B roads and turning off on the A234234233453413431 in some village I've never even...

eg: I want to go down the A1234 then the B5678 (because it's nice and twisty) then the M4 (to test my camera detector) or whatever and have it navigate for you ? I guess it probably depends on which you've got - I'm considering buying something like the Road Angel Naviator (or maybe a Snooper...

A slightly longer description of the problem may help.... ;) But "clicks" usually come from hard drives. Try checking temperatures maybe. If you fear it is your RAM you could try http://www.memtest86.com/

You can sometimes configure it in Display Settings -> Advanced. I can on my laptop anyway.

I've stalled my 172 loads more than the 1.2 I had before it. Think you need to rev them a fair bit to get them moving until you get the hang of it. I still don't really like hill starts in the 172 as I'm always worried I'll either stall or going flying off up the hill from giving it too many...

A few times when I first got it, but not recently.

And for some reason the wheels look too small for the car. Nowhere near as nice as the current RS models imo

I've always wondered about that. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.

ha ha ha ha ha! I'd think twice about running it on 256Mb these days.

172 runs better on idle with Optimax, and is maybe has a bit more go. I wouldn't bother if it was just an "ordinary" car.

ah, yeah. I think it's actually in the side of the gear box at the left. I had mine replaced by a garage and the only reason I could see where it was was because it was shiny and new!

Yup, it's on the gear box. Passenger side I think - you can see if it you look under the car - kind of a screw in thing (about the same diameter as a spark plug iirc) with some wires attached to it! Sorry, that the best description I can give!

Being an import makes it worth slightly less is my understanding. I did a similar thing, bought from a dealer, didn't realise it was an import and found out later. You'd have to tell your insurance just in case - mine (direct line) didn't seem to care. The things you don't get are the...

I'll have a look at mine too. Thanks for the info. Any chance of a pic to show where the canister is for us car maintentance novices? :)

Yeah, glad you got it all sorted. Moral of the story ? save you receipts and don't be afraid to ask...

Yeah, I'd still like to know what anyone has found out too...

ESP must have come before cruise as I have ESP but not cruise.

I think they took out the 6CD changer and replaced it with cruise control at some point. (my 52 plate has CD changer but no cruise control)

Must admit I'd never change up into 5th at 30. But I might end up doing 30 in 5th if I'd slowed from a higher speed. Usually put it into 5th at about 40 when driving round round town depending on traffic conditions.

If only! It always amuses me to see people racing up to the bumper of the car in front of them in the queue and slamming their brakes on! :rasp:
