Right.... Tried a lot of things to resolve the high idle problem with my ph1 and this I think is now my last resort. Can I take the throttle pedal off easy enough? Is there anything that could be sticking? Bit of a background... (sorry for the long read) The car was idling high, (only after...

After complaining we don't have a rep for around here, I decided to set something up anyways... 15:30 Sunday 21st March Danson Park DA6 8HL Google Maps Link Plan is to meet in Danson Park, in the carpark next to the pub, its not normally very busy, especially at this time of year. We'll have...

My lovely ph1 172 gear knob has been mullered by someone inconsiderate wearing a ring (I'm looking at you Colshe) So seeing as its metal is there anyway to get it polished up to remove these marks? You can't feel them So I can only assume they're not that deep?

Whats the closest I can get to standard 2.0 16v bullets colour wise?? I have a set, in "silver" but they look a bit pants tbh!

I've done lots of HTML/CSS etc so I don't need some long n00b explanation, just a recommendation on how to do it.... The situation is as follows.... We have "www.cheekstuff.com/* " "www.cheekystuff.com/woman" "www.cheekystuff.com/man" On cheekystuff.com, we have three groups of people...

After recently seeing an ebay link in a thread, showing the best* spark plugs for a RS to buy, I bookmarked it instantly and decided I'd start a folder of where to buy stuff for servicing etc for the car.... If people put some suggestions in here of what parts to buy for servicing RS's...

Ok so I still have a problem with my passenger door.... it wouldnt open from the outside, now it turns out the central locking basically won't work to that side... but that not the funny thing... It seems as though when using the key, the central locking will not activate on that door??? I...

Ok, so its another silver ph1 I'm afraid... but I love it, a lot! Picked this up from Daniel in Bristol on Saturday, only have two pictures of it atm, both taken on iPhone so excuse the quality. Lots of plans for this car.... All suggestions of where to go with it and comments on it are...

Ok, so the new car has a few niggles (most of which have developed within the first 24 hours of my ownership (doh)) and I do realise this is my second "help me" thread tonight.... Symptoms are as follows, Locked the car last night, got in it this morning, mrs couldnt get in passenger door...

Just bought myself a lovely ph1, but when coming to a stop it more often than not sticks at around 2k rmp idle? This can be solved by blipping the throttle when it happens, and then it settles back down? Is something sticking? Possible air leak has been mentioned, but wouldn't this be...

In Bristol I met this funny talking chap and we chatted for some time... (nice chap I must say) He then took a load of my money and the keys to my old car with a smile on his face :( Thankfully he had something for me in return...... I am in love.... Full spec.... Smoothed bonnet...

Everyone always talks about using these to prep things, rather than a fine wet and dry paper, just wonder what they are? After google'ing I've found this thing that resembles a washing up sponge, but surely that can't be right?!?! Are they really ok for prepping something to paint? (something...

I have a 1998 1.2 8v (d7f), should I be able to see the gearbox sensor from within the bay? Or should I have to get under the car? Basically I'm 99% sure that my speedo sensor isn't the correct one (well what Renault should have fitted) All pics/comments welcome.

Anyone had any experiences with these guys? I can't seem to find the 172, do they no cover it? When getting a quote you have to type in the model manually and it offers you options as you type, i.e you type "clio" and it offers "clio authentique, clio RN" etc.... Only need a day's worth to...

All suggestions welcome... Need a quick answer as need one sharpish.

Ok, I'm guessing this question can be answered by any engine guru's as i'm pretty sure its not saxo specific.... A good friend has a 1.1, 2000, saxo, and the other day accidently didn't pull the filler cap back on the coolant, halfway down the motorway car overheats and coolant has splattered...

After seeing these recommended on here, and ranting about them to my gf for ages, she bought me one as a suprise for my bday... What can I say, buy one, they're amazing, the matching background is such a nice touch, and the vinyl sticker may not look too thick but my god its hard wearing. I'm...

Very wet and rainy but your motor looked cracking (as you may have guessed by me conastantly slowing down/speeding up to get a look) Couldnt see a sticker... Anyone off here?

I know the iPhone totally back's itself up to your computer when you plug it in, so plugging in a new iphone means you can have it back to how your one is in a matter of minutes, but what happens the other way around??? I have an iPhone full of stuff and I'm about to reboot my computer, I've...

I quoted myself on a 172 (ph1) when I turned 21, and was plesantly suprised that with my mum as a named driver I returned a quote of £800 TPTF. Now I have found a car I intend to buy and will be 22 by the time I insure it, and the lowest quote I can find in my own name is £1400? SRS WTF? Now...

So... MikeB off here asked me if I could sort out some 172 alloys he'd sourced from someone, with the description of "they're not in too bad condition" I accepted.... So I went and got the wheels, "not too bad" wasn't quite what I'd call not too bad but still... I got to starting work on them...

Right, the time has come, the 1.2 is going up for sale just before the new year and I'm wanting a 172, whether it be ph1 or ph2. I have a budget of 2.5k but this could go up a touch if necessary. All models/miles/colours considered. Been looking at yodi's ph1, but it'll need some money for...

We've all been there, out without a nice camera and see a moment we'd like to capture, so out comes "the phone". Feel free to add stuff you randomly capture in here, and if you really want some past stuff... but try to keep it to new ones :) Caught this this morning with the iPhone on the way...

Getting an unburnt (I think) fuel smell in the cabin when the car is idling... 1.2 8v btw Its fine when driving along, but when stuck in traffic or sitting at traffic lights for a while it comes through the vents (If I turn the blowers to 0 then I get no more smell) Any idea what it could...

Anyone know the location of this? Have tried a search but it seems to be throwing up stuff for 172's of 1.4's most of the time. Cheers :)

Need a bit of a hand with the hard wiring of my fogs... I havent yet picked up the switch, but I assume its going to have three prongs: Live Earth Switched live This correct??? Now how do I wire this up to the lights themselves? Some diagrams (I think i'm going wrong somewhere) A blank...

Any one else experiencing this? I'm getting a 0.99 mb/s download and a 1.0 mb/s upload???? Thought it was my comp being funny, not the net, oh how wrong I was, spent all night messing about with comp, no avail, one simple speed test, BAM! Will be phoning o2 when i return from work tmrw. :(

Who is best to do it? Any website specifically? Got an old sony erricsson w800i I want to use on my new job (will be on site) and don't want to ruin the iPhone. Currently locked to orange, obviously want it to be o2. Are there some sorta torrents that would do this FOC? Cheers

Went with the missus, I've only got a half decent point and click, but I got a few that I was happy with. All comments/crit welcome :) And a cheeky one of me and the mrs ;)

Followed you from crook log down to hurst road roundabout about an hour ago, unsure if its anyone on here? (and no its that Giraffe'y motherfucker)
