Ah right, so if I spray the housing with satin black paint and basically block the holes with the foam behind, will my climate control not know when it's reached the correct temperature?

As above, I have no clue what this thing is. It sits under the holes on the right, there's foam under it and i'm a bit worried about it getting blocked with satin black paint.

What!!!? I'm 37 and pay £450 fully comp with 9years protected NCB. I guess 200s are a hell of a lot cheaper to insure than a 10 year old 172.

I love the interior, i'm in the process of pulling bits of my trim off to give them a coat of satin black, do you have any pics of the door cards, have you had the door handles painted black aswell? Also how did you get the internal light housing off just pull, or is there a special way of...

Yep, i'm not sure how it's done but I think it's just remove and replace tbh.

Yep, they don't like having dirty ring-pieces, you may need a new one if a clean and lube doesn't do the trick.

That bee must have thought it was a big daffodil. It looks amazing.

Those greys look pretty good actually.

More than likely a dirty ABS sensor, my CV gaitor split a few years ago and coated the whole ABS cable on one side, it knackered it and needed replacing, the ABS unit stores separate fault codes from the ECU, proper Renault diagnostic software should be able to switch it off. Or an up to date...

The day a 1*2 starts and runs without any funny quirks or weird noises, is the day Satan snowboards to work.

Ghosts. I did laugh at 'erm, it's not supposed to do that, well it is, but it's not.' lol

I going to assume their rollers were broken when we were there as mine should be running 222bhp, well that's the figure I get when I add together all the manufacturers stated gains on top of 172bhp. That's how it works isn't it? That's how they do it on ebay so it must be right. :clown:

Went to work in it and watched it tick over onto 85k miles just as I pulled onto my drive.

I'm in the process of trying to lift the 172s interior a bit, i'm spraying bit's of trim satin black and while I was searching for bits and pieces on ebay I found this...

My bad, it was probably jammed with dog hair. :o

How long have you had the Eibachs on for? No-one wants to see the filthy dog kennel, it's not a pretty sight. lol Mines at 5:30 in all it's grubby glory.

My Eibachs sit a bit lower at the back than yours, but I do have a full sized spare and jack in the boot, so I guess that helps. lol

The only thing I could think of would be to stick/tape some card or thin metal to the inside of the boot and fill the holes with silicone sealant in the hope of smoothing it out.

That does look bloody nice Danith. I hate the fact that the more I see anthracite Turinis on Silver 1*2s, the more I like them. I have an Iceburg 172, must.....resist......sheep.......;)

I just shove mine in the glovebox, steering controls rule. ;) I guess that doesn't really help much.......sorry. :o
