    Windscreen

    Were AutoGlass unable to quote ? Do you have glass cover on your policy ? Is Google broken ?! From experience, they're anywhere from £200-500 depending who is quoting.

    Alarm Problem

    RTFM ;) How many beeps/lights are going on when you unlock ? It'll tell you what it thinks is happening.

    Removing the heater...couple of questions

    That's alright then ;) Normally people come on here asking if removing the hazard light switch will save any weight then later inform that they weigh the wrong side of 15 stone. Sounds like you know what you're doing. Where are you based ?

    Removing the heater...couple of questions

    If this is a road car, sod that for a laugh. However as a track only vehicle - probably acceptable, until it rains ;) Without being funny - a slightly rhetorical question - how much do you weigh ?

    How much does a water pump cost to replace/repair?

    Speak to some other local garages ?! Did you ask for a breakdown of the cost ? £150 might be the water pump and new belt and 8 hours labour (which I think is too long but I don't know) at £25 p/h. Call Fred, Danny, Mick, and then call your local Renault dealer for a laugh.

    Dartford Crossing Toll Change - Oct 2012

    Plus the extra fuel you use sat there like a plum for HOURS a day. My record from Basildon to Dartford was about 6 hours. Literally ridiculous. If I ever HAVE to live in Kent and work in Tangoland, I'm getting a bike.

    Throttle/Accelerator problem

    Fly-By-Wire not cable throttle I assume ? If so, replace it with a known working one... see if that solves the problem. The actuator/solonoid/electrical gubbins are probably borked.

    Dartford Crossing Toll Change - Oct 2012

    I managed 6 months of going in early (past the tolls at 07:10) and home early - leave office at 15:30 - and was held up a lot. You're going to be later than that Ant, and I know it's going to drive you bananas. Don't do it ! Move to Essex instead ;)

    Hello, new to this forum!

    You might want to change your location to 'Goole' rather than your whole address !

    Cleaning products.. what's the best for a good shine..

    There definitely needs to be a 'car cleaning' section as well as a detailing section... Read the stickies as Wick suggests.

    How To Quiet Down Exhaust ?

    Its being welded up... if it hasn't already and going on if I don't set fire to the PoS as it won't start again today.

    Best engine modifications for a cup 172?

    There's no way on earth that was running 300 hp .. or the guy was a spoon. Mine was silly quick. Quicker in gear (just!) than my housemate's e46 m3. My standard one was dead level from about 50-100 with a friend's stripped cammed 182... Anyway ... enough pub talk. Strip it, breathing...

    How To Quiet Down Exhaust ?

    There's 182 cats on here all the time. Check the for sale section. You shouldn't have to pay more than £50.

    Best engine modifications for a cup 172?

    Have you had fast cars before ? Unless you've got money to blow, trying to get power out of these is pretty pointless. For £2k you can buy an Impreza which is quicker out the box and almost infinitely more tuneable, for example. They feel fast <100 on the road anyway... down a B-road at...

    Best engine modifications for a cup 172?

    If you're going to be doing the belts soon, look at a cams + remap package from someone at the same time.. Danny or Fred perhaps. Plenty of info on the forum. Apart from that, you're looking at megabucks for ITBs or Forced Induction to get anything noticeable really.

    Why do people deface cars!!!

    Defo keyed maliciously and not a kid on a bike / pushchair / handbag scraping down the car accidently ? Sh*t either way :dapprove:
