as far as im aware unless fitted with auto leveling and washers then mot fail but most get thru anyway, or simply swap over, not sure how anal the speed cops are on it
awesome thats what i wanted to hear, find it quite hard driving when cars are coming towards me and i cant use full beam, maby its just because im used to the xenons on the diesel with a higher ride height
looking for a set of hid's for the 172 as the standard headlights are pants, dont want anything blue or chavvy just similar to ph2 xenons, anyone got any pics of what they look like and what sort of difference they make at night?
right my dci has an annoying problem with the winscreen washers blocking up, sometimes they dont give off any water, other times they dribble, sometimes they shoot all the water out 1 of the 4 noozles, currently only the 2 that point towards the passengers side are working.
now a small needle...
yeah £200 odd quid a year, i think its only a worth while thing if 1. you already have the dci with the mods you want to save buying your own sport 2. you dont want to insure it legit, and insure it as a dci for much cheapness and 3. you can do it all yourself!
the op was asking about the other way around though putting a sport engine into a diesel, not worth putting a diesel lot into a sport if you wanted a rep, much less hastle to just fit the bumpers etc
lol i remember in my old ph2 172 pulling out to overtake 9 cars and a bus on a straight and as i pulled out a rover 25 behind the bus pulled out i then had to break as the 25 was only half way past the bus when i reached it, hero car!
the most annoying one for me is when your on the wrong side of the road overtaking a line of traffic as your sitting about 8 cars back and no one overtakes and then just as your about to pass the 2nd car from the front they pull out!
the trick is your using less revs to get the same performance which is going to give you better mpg which is why mine shot up about 5mpg on average daily driving, if you give it limiter every gear then yes your going to use more fuel as your turbos giving you more air!
im not getting into any more arguments but a few facts for people who have no experiance with diesel tuning (not that theirs anything wrong with that, each to their own) but people always jump to the following conclusions due to knowing their brothers mates cousin with the screw mod on his...
lol maby if youve had 4 kids! if youve driven any of the other non RS clios and know the issue with engine/gearstick movement then try a 100, but really you need a good long test drive with the box to really appreciate it
