thats balls about the cat, if you fit a 2nd hand one and it passes an emissions test then its fine?!?!

reliability generally they are good, pretty much on par with what your used to with a 106, you get ones that are better than others, look after them and they will look after you economy - generally they are good on fuel for what they are, watch what ur doing on a long run and it will return...

ive never played with the exhaust system on my DCi however if done correctly they sound pretty cool, different, but cool. you dont want to go loud but just slightly deeper and you get a bit more turbo noise. go custom, find a place local to you that has a good reputation as custom places can...

genuine renault ones are cheap, think your £90 for a pair, go for 182 cup ones as they are slightly uprated in stiffness and fit straight on :)

thats ok if they are rounded but they arnt rounded (they dont round if you use the proper size in the first place ;)) they are just solid lol

discs and pads ordered from G172, went for Brembo OEM pads just to get it through an mot and get it back on the road, ill replace them with DS2500 after winter as its only going to be on the road for a few months before getting locked up for winter again!

anyone got one? want the factory colour :)

red face moment that i didnt think of that myself lol! cheers dude!

im with Aldo, im all for working on my cars however the cost of the tools is what stops me doing my own belt, however congratulations on getting stuck in about it and doing it urself. at least you have the satisfaction of knowing its spot on timed up well and nothing was missed or overlooked as...

will be the rear dampers if its bad. bad tyres are going to make it worse but not cause it to be really bad

na its sound mate showing perfect voltages etc however its coming back on the road next week so ill see how it goes once its getting a bit more use, possibly just needing a decent run, i dont know much about batteries

not sure where else to get a decent torx bit its halfords professional ones ive got, ill see if i can get a hold of the snapon van this week at some point see if hes got anything better cheers for the advice though, assume if i wanted to reuse the hole with new torx bits im going to need to re...

is this another contender for thread of the year?

as above, never had to drill something out before, these things are solid, ive had the blow torch on it, rattled it to bits with a massive hammer its still twisting torx bits lol any advice?

my ph1 is going nuts, if you lock it it goes nuts and alarms, then sometimes it will last 2 or 3 days and then go bonkers alarming its nuts off! been fine for over a year and recently developed this. not sure if this makes a difference but its recently had a brand new battery about 2 months...

LOL! correct mr moneybags

wrong. it does

welcome, i like that. the white one is very cool too!

cheers for the advice so far guys ill get onto G172 tomorrow to see about ordering a set of brembo HC's what about the DS2500 is there anyone considerably cheaper out there for them or do they all charge roughly the same? cheers

my 172 is needing front discs and pads, recently had fluid and lines so looking for the best setup to finish the package! was thinking Brembo HC and DS2500 is this still the best fast road setup? probably only do a few track days a year if im lucky so most use is fast road and finally...

ive never had a "tuning package" done however i have done all they mods you are considering to my last 172. spent a lot gained a bit. ive got another 172 now. will i do it all again? yes. power figures alone make it look a waste of money, difference in drivability makes it worth while

i insured my mrs on my ph2 172 the day she passed her test at 17, she cut about in it for 4 or 5 months before we bought the 1.6 16v for her! she was fine, knew id kill her if she marked or kerbed it. she can drive the ph1 properly too, blips on down shifts too just need to learn her heel and toe!
