I have a 51 plate 172 . I'm in 2 minds wether to change it for 182 cup ! I'm not sure of the spec list on the 182 cup . What does the standard car have and what are the optional extras i should look out for ? Plus how much better is the cup version over standard 182 ? I've just had a quick look...

36 k service at renault in preston is £324 on mk2 172 . MrBillyUK !

I had the same problem in my Pug 306 . Turns out its air in the cooling system or it could be your thermostat like manji says . Its worth a try anyway . Take off the cap to the cooling system ( don't know what an rt enigine looks like so i don't know if its a separate bottle away from the...

Never had a problem with Adrian Flux . Don't forget they are only the broker , they use Royal SunAlliance insurance , so if you have any problems they are the people who actually pay you out . Sorted my claim out no probs and kicked ass with the body shop who f*cked up the repairs . Also you...

I paid about £135 for the 12k service but that was 3 years ago , wait til you get a quote for the 36k service , it'll break your heart ,lol ;) MrBillyUK !

Well these are the disks for Williams , if you don't have abs they won't have an abs ring fitted i would imagine . MrBillyuk !

Give Adrian Flux a call on 08700 777888 or Ashbourne insurance on 08704 60 80 50 MrBillyUK !

Not owning a Williams i'm not 100% but this is what i've found . Looks like the same disks as the rear 172's . Check if yours needs the bearing or abs ring already fitted . http://www.grahamgoode.com/ebc/index.php?partno=GD571&model=120 MrBillyUK !

If money wasn't a problem i'd keep it . Surely the car will have some kind of insurance against damage , as would your possesions . Or you could sell it and get yourself a monster v6 holden , ain't petrol as cheap as chips over there in the land of sheep n sheilas ?? MrBillyUK !

My battery is the original fitted when new but its never been a good un , every now and then it won't fire up first time , its only 420 amps . Go for a good heavy duty one about 620amps or there abouts with like a 3 or 4 year guarantee and keep the receipt in a safe place . MrBillyUK !

I'll put money on it that its your cable . Standard ide cables only have 40 wires and 40 pins . Get down to a local computer shop tomorrow and get an 80 wire 40 pin ide cable . Only a couple of quid . MrBillyUK !

Make sure you get discs with the bearing already in and the abs ring . I got the ones without so its gonna be a bit of a bigger job . Gonna wait til its a bit warmer ,lol . MrBillyUK !

I wouldn't worry about it . I've had the abs light on a few times in snow , had the same in my Pug 306 S16 . Only worry if its on when your drivin' on clear roads , then you've gotta problem . MrBillyUK !

I'd like to see your throttle/clutch balance going up the big hill i have to go up when all the snows been compacted then frozen into sheet ice . Its impossible to get up .You get half way then slide back down . But i've seen poxy little fiestas with skinny tyres get up it no problem. MrBillyUK !

Its just the snow m8 . They car thinks its skiddin . Nothing to worry about , i always get it when i dare to venture out in the snow . My 172 won't go anywhere in the deep snow and i live up the top of a very steep hill :( MrBillyUK !

Don't bother m8 .I had one fitted on my pug 306 s16 for a day . It fcuked up the fuellin so the ecu went into backup mode . Struggled to get to 80mph . fitted at a reputable garage so they took it back of and gave me my money back . MrBillyUK !

Had to change my plugs at 36k miles on a mk2 172 .It was juddering up to about 2500 revs . Got it checked out on the comp at the local bosch garage , got the plugs changed and its been good as new ( touch wood ) ever since . So much for 72k eh ! MrBillyUK !

Is it worth changing the rears then if the back brakes only do about 20 - 25 % of the braking ?? MrBillyUK !

Cheers Jones . At last somebody who knows what they are talking about , eh Roy ;) ;) ;) MrBillyUK !

Like i said mate . It might do with some makes of drives but not all , as millions of people probably know . The pics clearly show the times remaining as " 4 " and thats with the latest official firmware on both drives . Maybe your using unofficial firmware ?? In that case its a risk you take...

When i've checked out goodridge braided brake hoses for a mk2 172 , how come they are in a set of 4 ? I thought you would only need to change the front 2 hoses as the back are copper brakelines . Any help would be much appreciated . Wheres the best best place to get em price wise . MrBillyUK !
