Point 2 is easy.. when you switch your full beam on they quickly get the message. Maybe yours wasnt leveling right, I didnt notice a range problem with mine. Had a mk2 172 behind me last night and the xenons look really menacing in your rear view.. makes you want to get out of the way quickly...

Ye and it takes something like a 20 minute drive to recharge a battery from a 5 second start.

Unless you have a turbo car I doubt it will make any difference to the average engine, but the 172 is recommended by renault to use 98ron, so who am I to argue with them.

I seem to remember someone who wheelspinned the car and got a loud bang + loss of power steering.. Maybe try a search but it was a long time back.. it might have been "archived" since then.

1 - Yes you bloody do.. the light is 10x better and a nice white colour with a blue fringe. 2 - Until you have used xenons they do. 3 - No. Try xenons then you will see how yellow and dull normal headlights are.

Google search just over a year ago, was looking into buying a 172..

Ah .. okay, who would have though air-con could be so heavy :D I think that a cup with aircon is a crime.. you dont buy a car that is designed to be light then fill it up with heavy stuff.. its either one or the other. Saying that if you have a cup with air-con its your choice, and maybe...

Well probably not related but my 172 has always been like that.. try holding the keyfob to the side of your head.. seriously.. it works.. yes you do look like an idiot though.

Bit of a shame they added a bit more power but more weight.. kinda defeats the purpose. Rich, did you actually weigh every part from a 172, or manufacturors figures ? or just guestimates.

Ye, not trying to sound stupid or anything, but what do you expect ? if you left your engine running for a day sitting still do you think your still gonna get 300miles to that tank.

Ye im pretty sure the manual says that you can get instant mpg reading, but the fact is you cant, you can reset the mpg counter and after 0.3 miles it will show up the mpg again, which is sorta instant mpg heh.

Do a search mate, there is an entire thread with a video of a turbod 172.. its in exterior power and mechanical, called Clio Turbo.

Cool, so if there is a humidity sensor next to the rear view mirror, what is the other one ? i mean there are 2 sorta cutout bits which would indicate 2 sensors ?

Do you have a scanner ? can you scan the letter (you could remove the address/name etc) then post it up.

The clio is good at cocking a leg ..

proper rally sl*g wrc style cars idle at about 3000rpm, otherwise they will stall.. nuff said.

WHY ??? i love the rough idle of my car, give it a real sporty engine sound.. there is a big difference between a car that misfires and a car with wild cams. Providing nothing brakes the engine should sound exactly the same..

What about the bosch ones nobody could get hold of.. they looked good.

ye but it doesnt exactly look as good now does it

I would imagine unless your car was designed to take big wheels then bigger wheels would cause more strain on suspension parts, in the same way if you increase engine power from standard it will cause more wear on other parts, gearbox etc.

8. Engine - It ticks over like a bag of nails. Why? Is that a feature? Unacceptable really. If you mean its sounds lumpy, thats normal.. i think its due to the mildly wild cams. (the same things that give that kick of torque at 4000 + rpm)

in particular the 8 page thread at the bottom..

Oh ye and... Its probably a cold air feed for an induction kit, possibly by a previous owner ?

I replied as quick as I could..

As my GF said to me, you dont need to badge up your car to make it look nice.. be individual, make it look nice other ways. people are more likely to go wow at something individual than what they think is another bog standard 172 (1.2 badged up)

The reason you get condesation can be one of 2 things Warm glass reacting with cold air. Warm air reacting with cold glass. Tada, the mystery of misting up resolved... chances are the fogging up is caused by you getting in the car, your breath will react with the cold windows, even...
