    bonnet catch letter,

    I just chucked the letter in the bin when I got it. A bit of WD40 every now and again, like I have always done.

    how much should i charge?

    More than that really. Most cheap hand car washes charge £7 for a wash and dry. I won't do that to my own car in one day, even of someone paid me £20. lol

    EBC Green Stuff pads

    Old greenstuff were sh*t, had them on a Escort and the cracked and lasted about 7k. Put them on the 172 with Brembo HC discs and they worked very well on the road.

    Thats surprising, the 18inch cup alloys for the Megane are only about £118 each.

    Help 197 Wheel Needed

    I'd just try Renault first and see how much they are. They may only be around £100 brand new, better than trying to find one second hand

    Bikers, What is this bike??

    Isn't it a FZ1?? A street fighter style with a de-tuned R1 engine

    Hit twice in one day abuse as well.

    What a joke. In a ideal world you should of punched the old bloke and said "It's only a broken nose, whats your problem".

    My step dad hit a builders bucket that had some tools in at around 70 in his XK8, needed a bottom grill and it cracked the gearbox casing.

    Carbon Canister, I had replaced under warranty, still sounded the same once warmed up.

    Mine did this when the tyres were close too the limit. New tyres, was all good then. At motorway speeds?

    1.2 ecu re map from k tec ( new )

    You can't really complain about getting 10% more power for £300, from a 1.2 na. 1*2's are lucky to get 5% more power from a remap.

    197 with sunroof

    Looks alright on a black car, as you don't really notice it. Must add some weight as well.

    172 gearboxes.

    Mine started the knock when on and off the power. Sounded like bushes were loose, but it wasn't.

    Uber M3

    I like, I like.... not sure on the vents in the arches though.

    Just got a call about my 172 MOT

    They should always phone prior to doing any work you aren't aware of, mainly to check the price is ok.

    Just got a call about my 172 MOT

    Jokers. Whats their hourly rate? They have probably charged you £20 to fit some wipers blades. I don't think I have ever paid a garage to do work to get a car through an MOT. Easiler the get the up to standard before you take it in.

    Faded paintwork where vinyl graphics have been

    As said mate, try some Megs Scratch-X from Halfords first.

    Wiper noise

    It's normal, it's a relay.

    Does it cost a shedload to run a 172

    I sold my 53 Reg FF172 with 44k on the clock months ago under £5.5k budget, so £5.5k should be more than enough really. They are loads about and it's a buyers market at the moment.

    Faded paintwork where vinyl graphics have been

    The yellow looks very muted from the start with these. It would drive me nuts if it was my car, as it needs to be a little bit brighter.

    Does it cost a shedload to run a 172

    Cheap to run for the speed really. Tyres £50-60 a corner Brakes are cheap from GSF MPG around 40 mpg on a long round and 30-35 mpg generally. Cheap to service. I'd say check for the Cambelt change and the exhausts. My gearbox went at 40k and 4 years old after having a easy motorway life...

    Faded paintwork where vinyl graphics have been

    My Dad has the same on his yellow Cupra R. I wouldn't use t-cut tbh, you really need to get a machine polisher on there really. I would try something like Meg - Scratch X & AutoGlym SRP first as you can get them both from Halfords and with a little hard work it should be better.
