Fcuk me mate . Thats bad luck . Not a good start to your 172 ownership . At least you didn't have to foot the whole bill if thats any consolation .

^^^ I was wonderin if it was that . I asked Guy from opieoils about flushing the engine before i change my oil and this was his reply : Andy, Thanks for the pm. Dont bother with a flush, they can do more harm then good. Just drain and replace, the synthetic will do all the cleaning...

^^^ Whats the engine treatment you use for exactly ?

I like it .Looks really good on a black car :)

Nice one mate . Enjoy it , best colour as well imo ;) Same here for me Matt , i average about 25 , not as many motorway miles as i used to , plus i always floor it everywhere i go , lol .

Fcukin hell . Those supersprints are expensive :eek: £555.99 for the backbox £853.34 for the front section and cat . £205.30 for the centre section £187.76 for the tail pipes £1802.39 + delivery Costs more for the exhaust than an engine. Don't think i'll be having a supersprint...

The cars in the background are in a more secluded area than mine . Right behind the car are the petrol pumps so lots of people always buzzing about .

I went to Adsa this evening , parked up as i usually do ,miles from anyone else , on an angle and over the white line , 99% of the time nobody parks near you . When i came back this is what i found , lol .

You could just make a hole in the 90 degree bend , get a 16mm samco hose and put a small piece of tube in to connect to the bend like i did .

Powder coatings ok , but it does tend to chip alot more easily than paint .

It doesn't instill confidence in the dealership if they can't even get a simple thing right like filling up the oil to the correct level does it . Its not exactly rocket science , thats what the dipsticks for at the end of the day , to check the level .

Sounds very cheap to me .

I couldn't remember off the top off my head exactly last night what lights went out . Just got the car out the garage . With the key turned but the engine not started , all the lights go out except the stop light , handbrake light and battery light .All the lights that do go out including...

Its a bit weird how its managed to come loose . They are usually a bit of a t**t to get off without breaking the clip that holds it in . Have you just had your oil changed , or was the metal clip broken off to start with . Best thing to do when your changing the oil is take off the whole...

Nice one mate . Good choice , glad your enjoying it , lots of fun for not alot of money :)

Easy off for me , not much effort at all . Maybe you need some weetabix , lol .

Sounds normal to me . When you put your key in the ignition and turn , all the lights come on , start the car all the lights go off , except for the handbrake light obviously . Thats what its like on my 182 , was the same on my 172 .

So if its your back tyres that need changing , as you've just bought 2 new michelins , leave the contis on the front , put the michelins on the back , job done :)

I always put new tyres on the back and move my back wheels to the front . That way your tyres last longer . Plus having tyres with less or very little tread on the back is not safe . I've had this debate before so thats all i'm saying on this matter , lol ;) Have a read of this...
