Know what you mean, but you can't have auto-lights off unless you put them [permanently] 'on' can you? If you know what I mean.....

Auto-lights is errr automatically 'on' at the '0' setting, ie what you'd imagine was 'off'. Twist the stalk to the second notch to get dipped beams on constant.

I asked RSTuning about this when mine went in for both belts yesterday (35k but nearly 5yrs) and they said not to bother with the water pump if it's not a problem now....... so I didn't.

So are ITG filters 'cleanable' for life like K&N, or do they need replacing?

It's all a larf to nobs like this though, innit :rolleyes:

Anyone else?

[just as an interested observer, do you have to be registered on Bebo to see the site?]

From a total novice, what's involved in removing it? And how long does it take?

Any recommendations for replacement panel filters? What's seen as best? Are ITG ones lifetime items like K&N or are they disposable? And are there any other alternatives that come recommended? What about Pipercross? Cheers for any info and experiences...

Coincidentally I've just seen this, would it help? MK2 Sunroof Rattle Fix http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=208122

Cool :cool: It's having accessory belt and cambelt done. Haven't they started on it yet?! :D What you doing there?

I'd say it was a classic case of Lobsided Furry Dice that caused that accident. Buggers the left:right weight ratio no end and causes the rear to swing like a pendulum, far worse than a 911 Turbo on slicks in the wet......;)

^^^ is the most sensible answer. The AX sounds like it was be a blast...... for the first 2 weeks. After that, you'd be longing for some comfort and a stereo........ and some new fillings.

Mine's in on Tues with West End Garage (RS Tuning) for Aux belt + kit + Cambelt for £460. Not for a service though.

Got a couple of GSD3s on the front in the end today ~ £150 fully fitted. Only had a brief trip home in pissing rain so nothing learnt so far, other than one of my front hub cover bolts is bent and that the tracking need looking at.... :S One step forward, two steps back..... :dapprove:

Hard luck matey. Most important thing is that you survived it OK. Cars are replaceable.

Are these only from K-Tec, or can you get 'em elsewhere?

* whispers so as not to incur the wrath of the thread owner * ;) Dcds4 - with all due respect, that's a ridiculous thing to say. Nobody thinks they are going to have an accident, right up to the moment you clench your buttocks....... It's a bit like people who bump into parked cars - you'd...

Thinking of one of these for my Iceberg 172. Are they easy to attach? How do they attach?

Looks like it's been driven through wet concrete and left to set.... 'Kin awful. :rolleyes:

Euro IV emissions regs?

It's a common sense compromise I need to make due to my driving patterns. Most of the daily grind is through the city, but with frequent motorway trips down the M62, often in the wet as I pass Manchester ;) Sadly, I'd only get the marginal benefit of stiffer sidewalls on the odd occasion...

I think (but it's worth checking) that replacing the water pump is a bit of a job on it's own, but is easily done as part of the cambelt change...... If you don't trust them, taking the part and getting it done like this might not be such a bad option.......

TBH I think all but the most subtle mods look cheapo and bling. :nono: I'm not even a fan of the colour-coded inserts in the Cups...... :quiet:

Still a bit of a trek I'd think. Try the Scottish or NorthEast lot in the regional sections for ideas - there must be a specialist nearer to you....... Or search through here http://www.cliosport.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=24

Having read through 14 pages of the Tyre Poll, (cheers Rob), it's obviously pretty close between GSD3s and PE2s. Think I'm going to try the Goodyears, they're £10-£20 quid a corner cheaper and look dead cool ;)

Any views on which gives better ride comfort? I know, but it's a consideration for me on the pot-holed streets of Leeds everyday, as much as outright grip is.

My 172 has 3 Nankang tyres and one Michelin Primacy fitted (as bought), so I'm after at least two quality new tyres for the front. I've seen various conflicting opinions on the best replacements - what seems to be the general concensus between: (1) Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 (V pattern tread - I...

Take it to a specialist - save £££s and get a better job done from experienced guys instead of some spotty Renault trainee....!

I'm at exactly the same point, and will do the same. 35400 miles but 5 yrs will be up in Sept next year.
