you have to ask yourself, can you afford not to have the car? for the extra £200 or so on the insurance i know what i would choose.

happy birthday mate! :) car looks proper rogered unfortunately... probably looking at over a grand to repair it yourself, and thats relying on nothing being bent underneith...

here's how the same exhaust sat on my car when i picked it up: and how it was after a little playing: but thats ancient history now, custom is the way forward!

taylor, looks like the backbox is just missaligned? undo the U clamp for the backbox, support it with something and turn until the tailpipes are level, then tighten up the clamp. Then just play with the exhaust mount to get it sitting a little higher.

good pictures... however the car's far too low, the exhaust needs sorting and i don't like the wheels. other than that, looking fab! :approve:

no idea mate, it someone on here!

not really, i think thats a rubbish quote to be honest... seeing as its not actually you they're insuring on the car. if your going to do it, get a proper quote in your name with no named drivers. This way your insurance is valid and you can build up your NCD. Imagine when your 21 and you want...

i went from a 1.4 16v alize, to my 172 and it cost me £200 more on insurance. i was 21 when i got it though.

good effort, the most ive had (for the same journey actually) but with no roadworks is 46mpg

ah ha... i know what you mean now... thanks! so can anyone tell me how to find out if mine's worn?

heh, i've been doing my homework on K-Series engines... which are known for HGF ;)

how would i check for a worn balljoint, and where would i find this balljoint?

coolant levels going down rapidly is an easy one to spot, doesnt necessarily mean HGF though, could just a be a burst pipe... but it can be a sign. also the coolant will probably be a mucky dark brown colour.

:bump:

congrats, now the real learning starts as you drive about on your own...

sounds like the exhaust hitting something either that or your passenger is tapping their fingers to the music...

my 172 isnt as bad as you describe, i certainly dont try and floor it but when driving normally from cold at 30mph i can feel a surge and everything wakes up after a few mins, then the temp guage starts moving.

This has been going on for too long now and im getting annoyed with it... Im getting a squeeking noise from the O/S front when going over bumps, sounding worse when im braking and shifting the weight over the front. ive just replaced the shocks, springs and top mounts and im left with the...

should have gone for 15"s

its a tuner list yes, but from my 172. i asked on here, and someone kindly found out for me... nearly worth paying the £5 membership for hey? ;)

i got some kind chap from here to look up my code... as i had a similar problem and was told i needed it recoded. turns out i just had the wrong code, so i obtained it free off a RTE on here :)

here:

for the fronts, use the structural supports that run down the car... not the sills which WILL fold. if you look under the car there's 2 square section beams than run down the car, they're about 2 inches thick, cant miss em. for the rear, use the rear axel, again avoiding the jacking points on...

looks nice, where abouts in Dorset are you from?

nice motors! didnt know there's been a hosepipe ban in the south... good job nobody spotted me ;)

both of the cars are very average :approve:

smart rear wiper in my car (ph1 172) only works when the car is in reverse, i thought it was the same for all clios?

I paid £133 from Venom Motorsport, delivered within 24 hours of ordering too :approve:
