Looks good....enjoy the car:)

Just thought I would have a b**ch about stealer prices. Went into the local stealers in Bath yesterday for a new power steering switch/sensor as mine was stating to leak pretty badly. I got charged £60 for a sensor about 2 inches long and probably costing £1 to manufacture......f**king...

Agree with the above..inlet matching would be the logical next step performance wise. Good gains for the money

Great pics....lovely scenery:)

Flippin' hell that crash looks pretty bad:eek: Agree with a lot of people here though....I think swerving or slamming on the brakes are just knee jerk reactions that you cannot avoid doing if an animal cosses the road in front of your car.

Always change the filter as well when you do an oil change

Nice colour:)

I thought about doing it to my 172 but don't think I could deal with the noise/resonation on a day to day basis

Good pics:)

Cheers mate...that's spot on I think that's a job for the weekend:)

I want to remove the speedo/rpm clock console so I can take the bulb out of the emissions light. Has anyone done this before...if so how do you go about it and is it easy?

Looks good:)

Not really worth it but if it floats your boat then go for it

Look like it's had a fair bit of money spent on it. Probably had a hard life as well so for 12k I'd definately avoid

I was going to say that 172 are great little cars.....such fun to drive:)

I feel for you mate...you must be f**king livid! Sometimes I ask myself the same question as I'm crashing/skittering across all the uneven road surfaces and potholes.....where the f**k is my road tax going?:S

May have to look into this then.....if it's a case of replacing the O2 sensor I'll get it done as it's pretty easy.

Pretty esy to see really....just look below the fuel rail guard and you'll see the sensor plug. Doesn't leak loads but always has some fluid on after a run.

Panel filter in OE airbox is best:)

I think everyone goes through stages of modding cars to different degrees.....often with more cosmetic mods when your younger due to the insurance issues. I'm not a fan myself but I can respect the amount of time etc that goes into cars which are done properly:)

Yep....they look pretty nice:)

Didn't affect the MOT on my car mate.....serv light not on either. The light didn't come on for ages....probably 6 months or so...came on finally when I was driving down to Cornwall in really wet weather.

Welcome to CS:)

Now that is a good idea:) I'm not bothered that it's there but realise that it could cause issues if I decide to sell the car

Cheers What is the sensor for though?

Anyone got any ideas before I take this thing apart?

Welcome to CS I toyed with the idea of fitting a new air duct to the OE box but decided against it as I'm pretty sure the factory one delivers all the air the engine needs.

My car has developed a small leak and I'm a bit concerned it'll get worse over time. The leak is coming from a sensor at the front of the engine which appears to plug into a solid bit of piping for the ac or power steering.....not sure which though. Can anyone confirm what the sensor is for...

Powertec, motorworld....still the same s**t c**p filtration compared to cotton filters and heat up a real treat. If your interested in performance I would avoid...if your interested in noise and engine bay looks then they're probably just the ticket.

My 172 threw on the ecu light after I fitted a sports cat...took a while for it to happen though. Passed mot fine and runs great still so have left it for the time being. I believe Renault can clear the fault code using the clip system.
