The GPS receiver needs to be on the parcel shelf normally for the best pickup. Is there a way to check satallite strength? There is on the Origin b2 etc.

Its not fair..... Seeing some nice Flame Red 172 photos whilst mine is lying poorly in the Reno workshop all stripped down waiting for a new alternator.

Yup, its the sensor for the outside temperature as shown on the display in the centre of the dash.

I can also confirm, that they can survive a Wash and Spin Cycle :)

Another Vote for b2 here.

Looking good. I have the Twin 3" on my 172 and love the K-Tec build quality.

YGPM Connor, Ill post the photo if you want.

aye, let us see.

For a 172 grill it is summat silly like £150+VAT

Just spoken to the dealer, they have finally taken the car into the workshop and stripped it down. Found the following wrong:- Alternator Pulley has chunk missing Alternator Belt worn (coz of ^) Alternator Overheated and melting CV Joint is dodgy So they have ordered the parts, but obviously...

Lets just say I am NOT impressed. I drove by the dealer last nite, the car is sat outside. Battery so flat that the alarm/immobiliser LEDs dont light up. So therefore if someone broke into it, the alarm woulnt go off as there is ZERO power in the car. The hire car insurance runs out at 1pm...

Gah, Car was supposed to be fixed tonite but its not!! Apparently an RTE was sick. So Ive still got the Corsa, and looks like it might still be with them until after Easter!!! aaarrrrgggghhhhhh. AND I will have to extend the insurance cover (at a cost to me)

Any pics of the new design?

Its all these nice touches tho, that help make the choice easy :D and makes you wonder why BMW, and the like have not had that kind of thing for a long time etc.

Yup, if you see previous speedo threads, youll see that the speedo Over reads. My Origin b2 is what I go by, so 70 on the b2 = 75 on the 172 speedo.

That will be the one on ebay at the moment then! :D

Sorted. Thanks to Ivan :) GL y0z :D Cant think of a better person to pick up the challenge.

Wooohooooooo :) I powered it up, and connected it to my laptop for an update. So far so good. I havent tried it in my car as my car is in Reno :( but as it works so far I cant see a problem. The wife breathed a hoooooj sigh of relief when I said it worked.

Yup, they are heat reflective. Looking Outside in, it looks purple. Looking from the inside, its not really noticable.

Looks similar damage that I had to my 4 month old Nissan Almera. Only the person didnt stop :@ So I had to take the hit on insurance.

They are superb alloys, and suit your car spot on. Dont change em.

Well, Ill try and find out tomorrow. Its spent the weekend drying out.

The red skirts suit the standard bumpers. But if you went for the front and rear skirts as well, then the blue skirts.

Shes very purdy. Oh I wish.................. maybe one day when I dont need 4 seats and can afford the insurance.

It will drop normally. More Air = More Fuel = More Power. the ecu will compensate to a certain extent otherwise it would run VERY lean if it maintained the same fuel amount per higher air content.

Ollzie, Why didnt you just buy a 172? Ive seen posts from you wanting: Body Parts from a 172 172/Cup wheels Interior Engine modding parts. surely by the time youve paid to have it all done, you should have just bought a slightly older 172 and used the money left over on insurance?!?

Trust me, before claiming on the house insurance, there will be a few choice words spoken. Shes asked if I am pissed off........ I said "Im not sure yet" until I know whats happening.

Yeah, thats my thoughts. Ensure its fully dried out before powering it up.

Whats the chances of my Origin b2 surviving a Wash Cycle?? My dopey wife didnt check my suit trousers when she washed them!!! :( So my Origin b2 has now been washed and spun. I guess the only saving grace is that there is no power in the origin b2 when its unplugged from the car, so the...
