Did you check your exhaust too?, they might have thought it was funny to fill it with flour too and see the huge dust clouds as you start your car. Either that or a banana , beverly hill style.

Anyone else hear about the bloke in Germany sued Porsche and won as the car couldnt reach the quoted top speed.

Its not a woman, look at all the hair and the size of the forearm. dont think thats sabine

silver or black wont stand out, you may aswell just leave them alone if you are going to silver or black them. I would go for blue, red imho should be used on brembos.

I watched 6 new clios all red in colour travelling in convoy in wokingham

Ive got a mk2 but this may help you, if you hold down the stalk button down, the one that toggles the mpg/petrol remaining vdu. While holding it turn the car on. release it a few seconds after the car has started. The dash should start doing a dance with dials going up and down, some sort of...

I would Lose the back seat, its a 5 minute job, take out the spare wheel too. Fill up with optimax or similar. You could replace the air filter with a panel filter but anything else would invalidate you insurance unless you pay them extra.

195 or 205 ? theres a stupid gap in prices between these sizes.

I took my 172 mk2 along to Renault in Aylesbury for a minor 48K service. Big mistake, huge. They made so many mistakes and overcharged me. To start with they used budget 15w-40 semi synthetic oil, I thought my car needed 5W-40 Fully synthetic. I argued for ages but didnt get anywhere on this...

Ok, ive just tried to remove the bar with the 2 bolts, but they dont seem to be coming off. Do the bolts have a standard thread its just it feels easier to rotate it clockwise rather than anti clockwise. Cant find my socket set so am making do with a small alan key in the top of the bolt.

You could try some leather cleaner then leather conditioner. To be honest youd probably find it wouldnt crack if youd have used conditioner from the start.

Oh forgot to say , really important, dont touch the sparks or you will likely be knocked out.

Its something you could change yourself pretty quickly. To check if it is the coil pack:- remove the engine cover, and locate the coilpack to the back right, it will have 4 plugs that look like they are set in glue/gel . Start the car Using some plastic grips or tongs pull each cable...

Autoglym one works a treat. Use it with a soft cloth and it disolves the tar quickly.

downloading now... Heard sweden is really good for insurance, you insure the car and then anyone can drive it. Isnt it really cheap there too?

Id recommend wearing some thin soled shoes as the clutch is really hard to get used to, the biting point is quite high. Make sure you take it to the high rpms, you will love the massive surge of power at 5k.

Yeah, from looking at the pic I woudnt be surprised if that chav is keying the car, either that or scoping what to steal. Look at his eyes. also look at the orange Twingo behind, lol.

Shouldnt the car have a plastic undertray to stop that happening.

Surprised you didnt use the spare wheel well as a kitchen sink. lol.

First off got an ITG Panel filter from the group buy on here, does this need to be declared to Norwich Union? Also having my allows refurbed and resprayed anthracite, they are the standard 172 Mk2 wheels. Does this need to be declared. I know some of you are going to say call them up and...

Same sheet metal they make coke cans out of.

and buy the smallest bottle as you wont need much. Also get a funnel as its a b*****d to pour in without spilling it. Oh yeah and you have to remove the engine cover ( need a torx 30 screwdriver) to get to where you fill it up, its behind the engine.

Slow to deliver online vendors piss me off too. You are best off calling them up and reminding them.

Does it do it when you turn both left and right, and what about reversing round a corner ?
