The one place that comes to mind is Gloucester Services. Well easy to get to for all. Unless a little further afield....Forest somewhere? From Gloucester it is about an hour if done have to go through traffic.

Seat subframes have turned up and so have the seats Thought I would be safe with the smaller seats being a slim 30" waste.....no, no I was not safe. I fit in them and its very cosy but it wont be comfortable for daily driving so have to get the next size up. Hope the seller doesn't mess around...

Chris Mullins on Bristol Road. They are the only place I use for tyres and that. Or book yourself in to the Motorworks also on Bristol Road as they have full geometry and corner weighing equipment - they did my 172 recently. Find them on Facebook or Instagram.

Stole the idea from my brother who has done the same in his car. The tool kit that comes with the car I don’t think goes over the studs so need to use the deep socket and a big breaker bar is so much easier to undo wheel nuts. It’s a lot more secure than rattling about in the boot. Ideally...

These have just been removed from my Ph1. You are more than welcome to have them. I'm only in Gloucester too if you want to collect.

Nice little upgrade has happened. Bilstein B14 suspension, PMS solid top mounts and rear ARB. Also had new front wish bones fitted. Then it was corner weighted and set up properly. Now sits a lot better and less 4x4 spec ride height like it was before Not driven it properly yet so will try...

That’s not too bad a price. I was expecting worse. Might be one to add to the (ever growing) list of things to buy and sort out.

Out of interest how much is that costing? I’ve only got one key that will unlock the immobiliser and it worries me.

That’s a lot more than I was expecting! Yeah get rid.

Fair, just noticed it in those pictures and didn't know if you were going to get it filled in properly or blank it off or put the glass back in.

What are you doing with the sunroof? Or have I missed that bit?

It's very over engineered for what it does, but I mainly did it as a showcase in case I need a new job. It's not perfect but will do. Like you can't make a mistake and delete an entry and I did have a model to see if mpg was going up/down but then I made the whole thing more efficient and it was...

I wrote that myself.

Been tracking the fuel consumption since this becoming the main car, just out of interest rather than wanting to be as efficient as possible Last tank of fuel was >35mpg and currently averaging 33.98mpg. This is far better than the two year average for my old M140i, which was 31.01mpg - yes I...

Bit of one step forward and two back today. New bulbs fitted, now they are all the same. Made loads easier as I had the bumper off to fit a new grill thing as the original one was cracked. Looks better now. However when putting the bumper back on I was struggling to get the bolts that go...

It gets used a lot as it is my main car. Long term project to get it back to 100% a long with a few extras.

Yeah that’s me. Normally park over Beechenhurst when I go cycling.

I was actually looking on eBay the other day for these, along with 216 GTi's.

Have you tried reprogramming the key? There is a guide on here somewhere. But it’s like put the key in the ignition, hold the central locking button down by the gear stick the do something else. Worked with one of my keys recently when that wouldn’t work

Oh really? I would not have thought it was that. I can see the whole bulged aread where the arm rest is moving and pressure above the speaker grill stops it. If that is the case then I might risk taking it off.

hmm not the reason why mine is rattling.

What was the issue and how did you fix? My drivers door card is rattle/vibrating only on idle about 90% of the time and putting my knee against it stops it. Looks like all the clips and fixings are being used but the door cards were off recently to fix the windows and must not have gone back on...

To make mine 100% perfect and to do better than the 10ft test it needs respray and I could be tempted with going with Odyseey Blue or Scarab Green.

Haha I am not taking that cover off! Keeping it like it is to use for MoT tests. Yes, the current suspension will be for sale once it is off.

Fitted a new steering wheel. Forgot how much nicer it is without the standard wheel. Brother has already offered to fit the new suspension, he was really keen to do it and I hadn't even asked him to help out. Will get that ordered next month and take it from there as to when we can get...

Bought their Hybrid Detailer and Shampoo as well to use to top it up as per their instructions. I was more getting at do they wear off over time or with washing it/exposure to the elements?

How "long" do coatings last for? As do they wear off due to time or useage, if that makes sense? As I have just put some AMDetails Hybrid Sealant on the Clio and E34 and it says 12 months of protection. The Clio lives outside and is used a lot where the E34 is inside a agarge 99% of the time...

I have recently put THIS coil pack on my Ph1 172. As for HT leads I did end up with Magnecore ones, bought from PMS.

Do the Ph2's have a a fuel cut off switch near the battery like the Ph1's? Little red circle thing. I accidently triggered mine somehow recently and had the same problem. https://cliosport.net/threads/whats-this-button.790624/ Looks like it's a Ph1 thing, anything similar on the Ph2's?

Yeah it’s been treated a lot! More than I had planned in the time I’ve had it. But more is still to come. Driving it about was a if factor in me getting rid of my M140 as I enjoyed it too much. You’ll end up with another, everyone comes back!
