Ditch the back seats they weigh 20 kilos with the isofix bar, i've done this and the car felt much quicker. I also have a ss catback system that weighed less than standard. It will be alot louder in the car with the exhausts noise but you get use to it, and if you need to carry passengers in...

Sorry for late reply, If prolines can be fitted on standard shocks why not cup springs?

So I can have stiffer springs without spending any money.

What about the frount springs, will they fit 172ff shocks?

Ive done a search and could not really find a straight answer. Someone must know, Anyone?

Ive had them for ages, the guy who sold me the car said they were off a 182cup, not sure if he meant a proper cup or cup packed 182. I just want to know if they will fit my 172ff ph2? Rear Springs with red & white stripes. Frount springs with yellow & blue stripes. Frount Shocks...

Even if it is genuine (which it won't be), she says she's getting a divorce, I know loads of blokes who have had all there stuff sold from under them just because of a crazy b1tch wife. Do you not think that maybe she's selling HIS car just to p1ss him off? Something to bare in mind just...

Cant get it undone anyway, one of the bolts is jammed. I think its been cross threaded when it was put in. Nightmare.

I stand corrected!

I could be wrong but my mate has isofix in his vectra and if I was to try and put his child seat in my car it wouldnt work.

I have a mk2 ph2. There is some kind of bar that separates the boot from the seats what does it do? Can I take it out without screwing anything up?

lol

Collies are to clever in my experiance, they remember the mistakes you make when training them and then continue to do it wrong just to annoy you. a GSD is only clever up to a point, then they look at you as if to say "what do I do now?" Good fun though.

My dog might be the same as yours, he can get well @rsey. I might try and get one of those mesh grills that separates the frount from the back, just not sure how he's gonna get in the back with it in the way.

I guess he'll just have to deal with it then. Must be easy securing a Shih-zhu compared to GSD. (Jealous) lol

I do have one of those harneses but he gets really tangled up in the seat belt and starts crying when he trys to re-adjust himself. Do you know of any other way of securing the harness, or is it purely designed for a seatbelt to go through it. ps (what kind of dog do you have?)

Ah right, Looks like i'll be buying him a cage then. Not sure how im going to get him in the back when the boots full of stuff though. I guess I'll figure it out some how. Thanks for your advice. (oh and your girlfriends)

Whats illeagal about having the dog in the back with no seats?

I'm considering taking the back seats out so that my German Shepard has more room to move, will I need some form of strut brace in the boot, or are they a waste of time & money? (Sorry if this is a dumb question.) 172ff Ph2

Get a big f*cking German Shepard like me mate, I sleep like a baby knowing he's in the house.

Trading Standards mate. Thats what I threaten all companies with if they mess me around! Works a treat.

Asda Castle Marina Nottingham. 12:00noon ish Spotted a Iceburg silver 172 with private plates and a recessed duel exhaust, looked like a milltek but not sure, looked nice mate. Would of hung around to chat about your zorst as i'm saving for a new one, but I was in a rush.

Right nice one, I'll get on that asap.

Not sure mate, not even had the car a year yet, Im guesing a while ago as the car diddnt run so good when I got it. Did my own mini service a month after I bought it and its ran sweet since then. It does need some attention, cam belt, aux belt and 50k-72k service is on the cards as soon as I...

Trip to Renault is in order then, cant be a*sed to drain the rad and all that just want to top it up. Cheers for all your replies.

Right then, nice one for that. I hav'nt mixed the 2 of them I knew as soon as I opened the bottle in the car I had the wrong stuff. The guy in halfords told me that the green coolant was for Fords. Is this right, or was he talking B*llocks?

OK nice one mate, good job I kept the reciept from halfords then.

The coolant in my 172 is getting low so I went to halfords and got some top up mixture which is pink however the coolant in my car is green. Whats the deal here then?
