To say I'm pissed off is a major understatement. Went to the gym with a mate in Sale and I left my car parked outside his. When I came back I was greeted by to large key marks in the rear quarter and in the door. The one in the rear quarter is the full length of the panel and the one in the...

The Wheel Specialist is an option but they're pretty expensive. Have various branches over the U.K.

You'd buy from him? I know I wouldn't after reading this thread.

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=466_1266064016 Can imagine this happening to Maz pretty soon.

LOL. I wouldn't know anything about that, honest! :o

I've got a k-tec stealth on mine, although it sounds nothing like a k-tec stealth for reasons I'm unsure of. Bought it 2nd hand off a lad on here and it's best sounding system I've heard on a 172 IMO.

Can't see a fire occurring because of it to be honest. I've just fixed an oil leak on mine. Due to the leak, oil was dripping all over the manifold, all I got was smoke from around that area where it was burning the oil and a burning oil smell inside the car.

Got a couple of the bullets and the rear badge, give me two minutes.

Take it you mean the 2.0 16v bullets?

Driving position, over-sized steering wheel, poor looking seats and it's general fragility and lack of reliability.

LOL. Another hero eh Riad? Seems to be alot of Silver ph2 172s popping up recently, saw 2 parked near each other today in Irlam while I was at work.

Lol. It's telling you it doesn't want to be sold ;) As loud as mine when it was decatted?

Don't think emissions would be an issue would it? as the cat deals with that side of things. It must be bloody loud with no backbox though lol.

Still funny even though it's the 3rd time I've seen it :rasp: Shame it didn't tip right over and end up in the canal, someone's really made a mess of that Cup.

Lol Aye I suppose, mine needs sorting though because the oil is dripping on the manifold and burning, so then the inside of the car is filled with a burning oil smell.

I'll have to put myself down as a "maybe" Got a small oil leak on the engine but providing I can sort it this weekend I should be able to still make it.

The only thing I found was, it's not quite the same when you do get a 2nd one. Maybe it's just me but it fell slightly below expectation, don't get me wrong I'm glad I got another one but it didn't blow me away like the 1st one did.

Get another Cup ;) I'm on my 2nd one.

"There Are Dents On The Left Hand Side Of The Roof Where There Garage Door Shut On It, And the Drivers Side Quarter Panle is Damaged Where I Hit a Fence" 1 careful owner then. :rolleyes:

Thanks mate, Yeah I'll give you a shout if I've not managed to get one before then. Suppose I could even use one that holds the Plenum down.

Ahhh, thanks again Jord. lol. Just one more question, can you pick the right sized bolts from somewhere like B&Q?

It's definitely got a gasket cos I could see that when I feeling down the back of that area. Does the breather plate have any oil in it? Or should i expect anything once I've removed it?

Decided to take the Plenum off today and I'd noticed the head of this bolt had snapped off (see red circle in the photos below). When I felt down the back of the rocker cover I could feel wet engine oil and the mainfold had oil on it as well. I've smeared sealant around that area as a...

Cracking job there Russ, finished results look really good. Really do need to get mine detailed at some point because my paintwork is full of swirl marks on near enough ever panel.

No, the noise is there when the engine was idling, when he revs it the engine noise drowns it out.

Forgot to mention something. In the pictures you can't tell but like a numpty I used white double sided sticky foam to stick the letters on to the boot lid. If you look at it from a certain angle you can see the white foam behind the letters. That's another reason why I might just get a set of...

Yeah I do occasionally look on Ebay for them, I'll keep my eye out for one on there. Lol. Hey if everyone liked the same things we'd all be driving around in identical cars. :rasp: I just really disliked the old style badge and my Clio badge was hanging off as well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpdEFOiCo6Q&feature=player_embedded That's the sound of a failing dephaser pulley and as Gaz-Kev says it's normally when the engine is warm when the noise becomes apparent.

Because it's different. Not to everyone's tastes I know.
