Well she went for an MOT and sailed through without an advisory!!! (I would have been disappointed if it didn't given its pretty much been fully rebuilt and every bush and mount replaced lol) then promptly on the way home from the MOT station threw an abs fault again and lit the dash up like...

Looks gash as it's a standard car with wee wheel trims. Text needs to be bigger and follow the curve of the window

That's sounds like the exhaust manifold rattling on the arb

Mine runs the dci rack as well as it's a converted van. The dci rack is faster than the 182 one and the assistance set in the middle feels pretty much like the car did as standard on the hydraulic. Around town at max assistance is lovely!

Rs tuner map Epas Couldn't pick just one!

The owner of the red one is on here. I was watching it on eBay when it was on an auction and when it went abover £500 i threw the towel in. It does look very good condition and they are actually a good little car BUT they don't feel special in any way shape or form which really is what matters...

Ideally you want to replace the standard cat with a pipe rather than gut the standard one, but it can be done just cut it open, gut and weld closed again. You shouldn't notice any increased smell, not like you would on a decat petrol anyway, you will get a bit more smoke on throttle, a bit...

The twingo is absolutely sound with a poly bushed one too, hardly any extra vibration, I remember one on my old Clio and the dash top was almost vibrating off lol

Best mod you can do to a 172/182 imo, I've just done the 182 van and paired with the EPAs and ditching the Aircon it tears thru the revs!

Yes the silver one is the 172/182 one which fits the twingo GT

People will say all sorts from putting it on axel stands to take weight off the suspension etc but in reality, stick a trickle charger on it if possible to keep the battery topped up and that's all I would worry about, maybe stick fresh oil in it before and try and have as little fuel in it as...

If that story was remotely true then the car had an underlying health issue with the oil pump! Letting a car run for a few minutes once a week/month while it's off the road will do it absolutely no harm, in the same way leaving it for 2 years without turning the key will do it no harm.

Probably as rare or rarer than a trophy now due to cup killing season having its yearly clear out, my old one got wrote off last winter too apparently

THIS! There's no better benchmark for what somthing is worth than the sales history of similar cars

Welcome new boy! Best tip is show some pics of your girlfriend, best way to fit in!

One of those cars it's worth what someone is willing to pay for it. Somewhere in the region of 8-10k I'd say is reasonable although not sure I would part with that personally!

172, no squint exhaust to worry about 😂

Tracking 100%

That was my first thought, fractured spring, caught on the top mount jamming it, pull enough on wheel until the spring jumps. You wouldn't be able to overcome the steering lock I wouldn't have thought, that's is their design after all!

If both front tyres are matching and both front springs are matching even if the wrong ones then I'm going wheel alignment. It's the only thing that could cause it to pull it's self left other than possibly a sticking brake caliper

so its not that the steering wheel is off centre its that it is pulling left? miss matched front tyres seized/cracked suspension top mount bearing wrong spring fitted, was it a GT specific spring that was fitted to the car? they are different from normal mk3 clio items

Wouldn't have bought the black one anyway, non desirable spec, standard exhaust will be guaranteed to fall off soon and new mounts required etc

Thank god, now I've got 12 months to finish the Van 😂

Red immobiliser light staying on solid??

the tracking needs done, the original garage who have done the tracking have not centred the wheel properly when doing it. Find a local alignment place with a good reputation, My local place only does alignment and have a fantastic rep and charge £35 + vat so don't pay over the odds, especially...

Faulty sensor, replace the pass mirror and it will solve it (assuming the replacement sensor is ok!)

Only certain models had the exterior temperature display (the screens are the same so its physically there but not connected, most expression models did but I believe later on in the production they dropped it as a cost saving. ALL cars have the sensor in the mirror, but the wiring is not in...

never noticed that on any that I've seen. I dont worry about the dephaser unless its noisy, regular oil changes is key to looking after it.

Still available from dealers last I checked for one which was a few months back.

its actually not a bad job removing the dash, just time consuming lol dash top off dials out steering wheel off radio out trim that goes around the gearstick and houses the cup holders etc out disconnect connectors from hazard panel, cruise control panel etc etc disconnect connectors from...
