Dis the link i found you not help then?

i've not said that. think it's sad and pointless [modifying an ickle-engined granny car]; didn't say it was chavvy! ha ha

oh dear

if it's under power it could be the c.v joint, of the side that you're turning

Are you deaf mate? My rear silencer fell of my 172 MkII a while back and the whole car vibrated and sounded like a machine gun,... but seemed a lot slower; strangled. Mate works for Renault, head of workshop and says no damage to the engine will result from running without it,.. so if you...

I was round there on wednesday evening with my black 172 MkII w/ a private plate, did you see me?

Today at lunchtime, by Burger King and going to centre/tescos... I was in the black 172, a little hurried; late for a pub lunch appt. P.S. I am a driving God!

Seems, fingers crossed, that i'ved sorted it. Gonna regret saying that I know. Had a proper old wiggle of the wires,.. then some more, then some more. My mate who works for Bridges Renault in Newbury rang me, so I asked him his view. He said wires under the seat; the wires that are connected at...

dutty - the definition of a chav, according to the OED is: 'a young lower-class person typified by brash and loutish behaviour and the wearing of [real or imitation] designer clothes'. I do agree with some of the above comments though, while I'm not blameless, this forum does need to be...

Cheers Andy; it's not just mine then!

Yup, "put down the 2 fast 2 furious dvd, step away from the dvd and the copy of max power"! If you're not careful you'll acquire a bum-fluff moustache, perma-baseball cap and a bird called britney who wears more burberry than you! Euthanasia is simply a necessary mercy-killing. Sorry...

thanks robert, anyone else?

cheers anyway mate - thanks for the speedy reply too. I hate it when people post massive pics too, means you have to scroll to the right as well as down; and I'm far too lazy for that!

try again: which is the bugger?

<img src="http://show.imagehosting.us/show/757910/0/nouser_757/T0_-1_757910.jpg" alt="Image Hosted at ImageHosting.us"/> which wire is the offender?

which wire do i take my aggression out on?

boingy-bumpy-boing

I've disconnected every wire - reconnected and wiggled and shaken the wires to the rythm of the song on the radio till I got bored,.. Silly SERV and airbag light still on! Which wire should I be most concerned with? Is it the wire that connects to a single thin wire? It's really doing my head...

Robert, thanks for the reply mate. My stalk is always in the automatic position, but I need to move it and then put it back to auto for the wipers to work initially,.. Is that normal? Do other people's wipers just come on when it rains?

My wipers need to be operated via the stalk, once used the once they sense the rain and work automatically - Is this normal? Cheers, john (ooh nearly time for the Used Car Roadshow on M&M, 8pm Monday)

mine's been doing this intermittently; gonna have a butchers under my seat tomorrow. Was reading a thread about the gear stick light coming on before you hit the rev limiter in the 172 MkII, and sure enough today when I was proving if the gearstick icon illuminated (it did) the serv and...

When I bought the car (fullfat MkII) it read 32mpg, and that week it increased to 37mpg. Having re-set it and started to drive like my old self again ( ambulance driver + blue lights ) I've been getting 35-36mpg from 3 weeks of combination driving over approx 1200 miles. That's with climate on...

that does look nice. 04; rich man!

I thought the full fat MkII (my model) had 167 bhp per tonne, and the diet MkII had 168?!

Let's just be honest 172/182 MkII owners are richer - you're just inverted snobs. Ha ha

Soft - the front end on the MkII is more aggressive, less Twingo (like the MkI)

MKII looks so much more modern, the MkI has silly little front lights. IMO the MkII has a much more flowing line, and as above the MkI has an inferior dashboard and what... no climate?! eeck, don't know how you kids manage ha ha
