Got some Halfords Bug & Tar wipes ... sort of a fibrous baby wipe with strong detergent. Work really well ... takes 1 or 2 to do the front of the car.

Go and ask JAY172 on Exterior, Power & Mechanical forum ... if anybody has any idea itll be him. Sure I remember him discussing immobilizer coils and the like in the past.

Actually think the ticking tends to be the injectors. Both my performance Citroen (167) and Renault (172) engines have always had a tick.

33 .... posted for no more reason than itll get me off 199 posts that Ive been stuck on for days (since Off Topic doesnt count) :) Also feels good to know that Im only middle aged in Clio ownership terms.

6.5k until its warmed up ... 7.2k thereafter. So perhaps your car previously thought it wasnt warming up ... oil temperature has to be above 80 degrees or something until itll lift the limiter.

So ... F1 GSD3 - love them - look the dogs and great in dry and wet - just cant get them :( Would be £190 for 4 at Micheldever if they had any, but theyve been on order for ages. If they cant get them then unlikely others can (and indeed when I called my local tyreshop they couldnt)...

Thanks guys ... as Id feared. The Eagles are great in the wet ... and Toyos arent which is important given the way I drive and UKs weather. Thruxton reference is to Renault event this weekend, so unless our parade lap turns into an impromptu race not going to be pushing the tyres. Was hoping...

So just phoned up Micheldever Tyres to sort out my planned 4 x Eagle F1s ahead of Thruxton at the weekend and they havent any in stock!! Since theyre the biggest and cheapest tyre place for miles around if they cant hold of them then .... :( Other option in some Toyo Proxes. Less money, but...

I understand the labour bit .... tho Im sure a top expert like Mike could do it in less time ;) ... but what the heck do you get in a Cambelt Kit to justify it costing £147+ ?? Its only a big elastic band :o

Sorry to hear that Mike! About the only safe place to leave your car is a locked fortified garage these days! Worries me ... if its this bad now whats it going to be like when my kids have grown up! Well all be living it castles and never coming out.

Spooky ... was just a moment ago looking the Yellow Pages at dent repair companies. Got an annoying ding on my boot lid (plus some tiny crazing on the bumper below) were some b*****d ran a trolley or something into mine. Also theres the bad paint scuff on my front bumper ... but I know the...

Seems a clunk selecting 1st is "standard" on 172. When I first got mine, I was freaked by it, but multiple people said they got it too.

Had mine for about 5 months. Fitted by K-Tec and hangs spot on with no problems at all. Used to the volume at 70-90 now ;) K-Tec are one of the few companies Ive dealt with who actually get what customer service means! They dont just take your money are run ... want to make sure that youre...

Also the ones that Halfords list work just fine too. Think I paid £13. Various brake places I tried didnt have an entry in their books for 172 rear brakes. So I took a risk with Halfords knowing what they were up too (so a big risk :)) and they were right for once!

Thought ... - Mk1 - no traction control - Mk2 - traction control. Early ones werent switchable so always on. Later ones had a switch.

Actually reckon there are 2 components to this ... 1. Your wheels bouncing ... not sure if its formally axle tramp (is fwd cars drive classed as "live"?) but basically the wheels losing/gaining traction as they scrabble around. Ive had this on various cars when your wheels lose traction and...

Shocker is my missus new monster Citroen C8 "bus". 80 litres ... and coz its brand new and the engine is tight its only turning in 26 mpg at the mo!!
