Like ya say . They are not the cheapest but you have to weigh up the pros and cons . I'd rather pay £20 - £30 more for a tyre that i'm happy with and know is a good performer than save a few quid and not be happy with the handling . £78.40 delivered from mytyres ...

I'm impressed with the Michelins on my 182 so i'll be sticking with them when i need to replace them . If your happy with em stick with em otherwise if your try a different tyre and your not happy with it then your stuck with em for the next ??000 miles . The contis that came as standard on...

Agree with wrx 172 . I can't believe it never need to be cleaned , a filters a filter i.e. removing dirt , dust etc so there has to come a time when the filter becomes so dirty that it will not allow the same amount of air through as when it was new .

I'm impressed with this QD from carwashnwax http://www.carwashnwax.com/10278/info.php?p=7&cat=20269

I just use packetnews for the irc, especially for the latest music. Soulseeks just a peer 2 peer file sharing program for music , give it a try , its good for some of the more obscure and older songs as well . I personally don't touch limewire , bearshare and all that other crap , i used to use...

With a larger profile tyre i pressume ? Personally i'd just look out for a spare 182 alloy on here or ebay and stick it in the boot .

Sounds like a seized caliper to me . One is braking harder than the other causing it to pull to one side . Get it on a flat car park with no camber and brake hard a few times with your hands off the steering wheel , if its seized it'll wobble the steering wheel . Not that hard of a problem to...

If its loud now it'll probably get slightly louder after its been on a while . All aftermarket exhausts are louder than the standard exhaust in varying degrees , even those that claim to be the same as standard from what i've read on here do seem to have a slight increase in noise . You might...

Sounds ok to me . How much exactly is he asking for it and how much do you have to spend ? Theres lots of 172's for sale out there so its a buyers market , loads knocking about for around the £6k mark , check out the autotrader website .If you have any doubts walk away . I'd do an hpi check on ...

Nice result Debz . I like how he chaged his tune as soon as you mentioned the office of fair trading , lol . Like Kiza says , seems a bit weird why the 14" wheels woudn't fit , but i guess thats not point as you wanted 13" wheels in the first place . Well done :)

I use Bit tornado , never had a problem with it .

Nope not me Darren . FF Arctic blue no stripes though .

Well now i know i've seen Chris n Nic , even though i didn't know it was them i'll keep an eye out for you .

^^^^ If yours is an iceberg silver mk2 172 the paint codes 640 mate .

Ooops sorry , typo , i mean't early to mid 20's ;)

Crikey . I would :) Its not as aggresive as Wonder wheels mate .Don't knock it 'til ya try it ! I saw somebody on detailingworld mention they have used it and it was fine so if its good enough for them its good enough for me :rasp:

I saw a cup about a week or so ago at the traffic lights at the bottom of Bolton rd going towards Blackburn . The guy had black hair and a shortish beard / few days growth with a baseball cap on early to mid 30's ;) , think they had a bird in the front seat . Is that you ??

Its definitely not a feature that you will use alot tbh .So i wouldn't bother mate , too much hassle i'd say .I never use the speed limiter , why would ya , lol .I use the cruise control on the odd occasions , never had it in my 172 and wouldn't miss it if i didn't have it.

I've just tried Aldis own version of Fairy power spray , its called Magnum power spray and its 99p opposed to the Fairy power spray at around £3.50 . Spray it on , leave for 10 mins then hose it off . Its not really mean't for painted surfaces so make sure the alloys are in good condition...

Bit Torrent for me for the usual stuff , www.araditracker.com first port of call for torrents , then mininova , pirate bay etc ... Soulseek for music , especially some older more obscure stuff . Mirc for all...

Yep that sounds like me Chris .What do you drive again ? I never seem to spot anyone , must be goin round in a daydream , lol .

Whats a tea bag stain and where are they ? You get 3 years warranty on defective paintwork .

I used the quick detailer over the wax . I even tried doing half the bonnet and half the roof as a comparison and i couldn't see any visible difference . Only thing i have noticed is that when it rains the dust does seem to wash off more than before i used the quick detailer so i guess thats a...

^^^^ A bit confused there Rich :S You said it works , as in not attracting dust then you said it was " dusty as hell " when you got back from FCS . My cars ok for a day or so after a good wash , wax , anti static QD , but within a few days its back to having a fine coating of dust just as it...

Rattles - Clio ! You avin a laff ;)

Hairdryer then clean up any residue with WD40 .

Tbh i dont think the chemical guys anti static QD is that anti static . Granted it is an excellent QD , but i haven't noticed any difference , i still get dust on the car , i think it must be the nature of the wax that attracts the dust more readily. Can't fault the chemical guys products...

On the actual radiator or the grill ?

Wasn't the original Wiiliams a limited run ?

Bearing in mind the Willys are like 10 years old i would say they have held their price really well .Imo i don't even think that the trophys will hold their price that well , after all its a French tin box aimed at a limited market , so i don't think any of the Clios ,whether it be Trophys ,V6's...
