I used these at the weekend for the first time . Miles better than the little megs foam applicators i used to use . Easier to hold as well because they are bigger plus they seem to spread the wax , polish etc.... better ...
First look at the rear brake caliper .
Along the bottom , holding the brake pads in is a small angled metal bar about 30mm in length with a spring retaining clip in it . Pull the small spring retaining clip out with some pliers .
With the retaining clip removed , get a small flat...
As far as i know they are different plugs on the back of the tuner list ( 172 ) and update list (182 ) headunits , even though they look like the same headunit .
Looks like that is the part number . The guy saying CHA or CHM that is the model number .
Like on here .

The one i had in my 2001 mk2 172 was this model on ebay ...
Stating the good aren't fit for pusrpose ( sale of goods act ) might be all well and good in the world on consumer goods , but to say that its not fit for purpose because it's too loud would be a different ball game i think .
Define loud ? One persons loud isn't always necessarily another...
Got one of these a just over a week ago from carwashnwax . Dried the car superbly :)

Plus when i ordered a few things , shampoo , xxx wax , tyre gel he threw in 2 free microfibre cloths :)
Well if its moving about and hitting the bumper then he has a case . If its just too loud i doubt they will do anything .
Weird how he's having the problem with the bracket , the guys at Burnley just knocked up bracket , welded it in more or less the same place as the original and that was...
I had a powerflow on my old 172 . Absolutely nothing wrong with it , People who say they are crap are talking utter crap .
As Kullycliosport says , it all depends on the powerflow outlet who fabricate your exhaust .
I had mine done at Burnley , top quality job , Before they welded the...
^^^^ What do you think it is , a murder scene , removing the evidence , lol .
Maybe he needed to drive his car , leaving it with no oil in would probably have caused more long term damage . I would have filled it up as well .
Just let me out at the bottom of Bright St at 7.45pm today , seen it a couple of times this weekend , can't remember the reg , lol .
Anybody on here ??
I have windows XP serial changer program , always worked for me . Just don't download the update "The Windows Genuine Advantage Notification tool " when it asks you , what genuine advantage , lol ;)
If ya want it pm me with your e mail address , not hotmail though .
Sounds like they have either got your car and another mixed up , lol . Or they are out and out liars . To be honest , if the caliper had a problem they would replace the whole unit , not " some parts " , there's only a few things that are really changeable on a caliper without it being sent away...
At the end of the day its always best to phone lots of different insurance companies . Whats good for one person is not always necessarily good for another . Personnal circumstances , age , experience etc..... post code plays a major part in car insurance .
^^^^ Yeah i know . When i had my 172 i never once had to top up the oil and i did 48k from new . Could be just something as simple as 16v jon says , they might not have put enough oil in when it was serviced .
Some excellent stuff on carwashnwax as recommended by Alan .
Extreme Body Wash , best shampoo i've used to date .
New Look Trim Gel , fantastic on your tyres and any black trim .
XXX Hardcore Pure White Carnauba Paste wax . Easiest on i've used by hand , even easier off ...
No . Saw you were from Liverpool though , was gonna use em about a few months ago for my 172 but sold it so didn't need to bother . Heard they were good though from a guy who repaired my 172's seat .
Definitely sounds a strange one this ! Could be just a coincidence about the low oil level problem and you fitting an air filter .I've heard of some 172/182's burning oil before but without wanting to alarm you sounds like it could be something serious to have lost so much oil on such a new car...
