You've probably got the worse colour of the lot for showing up swirl marks mate .They are pretty much unavoidable after a while but black shows them up the more , silvers probably the best for hiding them .

I'm sure i saw pmurray post they are open until 1pm on Saturdays .

Just standard NGK PFR6E-10 plugs

Arctic blue for me ;)

So above 2000 revs the engine runs fine ?? On my old 172 it was hesitating below 2500 revs above that it was ok . Turned out to be the plugs .

I don't even need the key in the ignition . I just turn the lights on/off twice and it activates / deactivates my auto lights . Anybody else found the same ??

Fairy power spray . Spray it on , leave it to dwell for a few minutes then power wash it off . Best stuff i've used . Also another good alloy cleaner is the Blue rim and wheel cleaner from carwashnwax . http://www.chemicalguysuk.com/product_p/bluerim.htm

£10 for 300ml ? Are you sure ?? Sounds expensive to me . I use a local motor factors , they mix paint and the match is always spot on . Only £7 for 400ml :)

Not sure if they will fit , but i have these smoked ones with chrome side repeaters that flash orange . I think they match the colour of the alloys better imo . http://www.body-kit.co.uk/acatalog/renault_clio_mk2_side_repeaters.html

^^^^ Sponge :eek:

Get a cordless drill and a 3 or 4mm drill bit and drill out the centre of the rivet , then pull the alloy pedal cover off , but watch you dont bend it cos they are only thin .If it feels like its glued on it'll be all the s**t underneath sticking it down . Give it a good yank .

Get a flame red mate , much nicer and alot more rare than the black and silver ones .

They are actually alloy pedal covers and they are riveted on to the pedals underneath .Afaik you'll be ok with the brake and clutch pedal cover but on your car you have a plastic accelerator pedal under your rubber .

Not done alot with mine except for colour coding the dash inserts , steering wheel insert and gear knob insert all in arctic blue .I'll probably colour code the speedo surround whenever i can be bothered .

I honestly can't see why people would want to take out their sidelights :S As for it being an improvement ! What improvement ?? They're 2 quid each mate . The drivers side one is the one that's a b*****d to change , especially if you have big hands , lol , cos of the pipework for the aircon...

For a start it just says PE2's so i assumed it was for a 182 . Also it doesn't say what fitment 195's as in the 172 or 205's as in the 182 . Either way the recommened tyre pressure for a 172 and 182 is 33 front and 30 rear , whether it be PE2's or Contis ;) I assume you haven't got an owners...

I'm sure the original question was about the tyre pressures for Michelin PE2's ;) not personal preferences or other brands of tyre ;) Like mark5290 says , the recommended pressure for " PE2's " is 33 front and 30 rear :rasp:

These are the leds i have in my sidelights . They match the xenons perfectly :) http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/u501fw-white-ultra-bright-frosted-bulb-brighter-p-866.html

It says so on the page i just posted up . Win98 right through to Vista :)

AVG free for me as well . Been using it for years . Get it from here : http://www.download.com/3000-2239_4-10703202.html

Theres no good or bad beading or ideal beading size lol . Beading just means you've got plenty of wax on helping to protect your paintwork from the elements , therefore the water runs off rather than sitting on the bodywork leaving waterspots , also " helps " to protect from bird s**t , tar...

When i had a my first test drive in a 172 at a dealership , the sales guy told me to drive it hard from day one , so i did ;)

I drove my 172 from new exactly how i drove it for the next 48,000 trouble free miles , hard . Personally i think i think new engines can be driven hard from day one , also did the same with my new 182 . Regular oils changes every 6k :)

Bearing in mind you need to be a member of costco . Mytyres are cheaper than most places . £76.70 delivered , mine took 2 days to arrive :) http://www.mytyres.co.uk/start.html

According to the heritage section on renaultsport.co.uk you either got a cabasse 4 x 40w in the full fats and 4 x 22w in the cup versions . I remember in my ff 172 i had blaupunkt speakers which weighed a fcukin tonne , the cup speakers are different again , they weight next to nothing...

Dads aren't always right ;) Silkolene Pro S 5w-40 for me as well :)

The full fat one in the 172 is uprated from the cup one . I think the cabasse headunit in the 182 is just a newer version .

Yeah thats the one you need , cheaper than the one i posted lol and hell of alot cheaper than " haggling " with k-tec ;)
