yep will be mot'd in daylight so you should have no probs ;) plus i've had cars passs with a non working speedo before...

I had a mk4 Astra SRI turbo (released prior to the GSI and limited to 500) same engine etc as the GSI but minus the leather trim and switchable traction Control. I thought it was a really nice car, mine was super reliable and seemed pretty well built and no interior rattles!! Felt quicker than...

I have a phase 1 and phase 2, personally i prefer the phase 1.....

Unlucky, replacement engine can be picked up circa £400-500 on here may be worth weight up the costs of the labour of installing a new bottom end or a complete engine swap....

Yep as my bro said i'll be coming to this :) Mandie what happened to the 172 cup? just noticed the RIP.....

A Wash & Polish is should be in the top 10.....

Oh and from what i found when i did some searching on the forum its usually the resistor that fails.

Mine has started doing this. Open your bonnet and you need to remove the plastic scuttle (plastic trim at the bottom of the windscreen) Its in two sections and you need to remove the d/side, really easy just pop the clip out by the wing and it pulls out. You then see, two plugs - one on the...

I got told by my local renault dealership in Tamworth they charge £83 an hour....

Very nice, looks like a perfect finish. Just out of interest how much did the trophy suspension set up cost you?

I must say i'm pretty shocked by the quantity of oil some of you guys are using, i've had two 172's phase 1 (on 113k) & phase 2 (on 57k) and neither have required topping up between servicing intervals about 6k, both are driven hard aswell....

My brother had a spring break on his Cup and the only way to get replacements were through Renault but they were very pricey....So he phoned up YozzaSport and they came up trumps with a set of genuine cup springs off a car that had been in for a suspension upgrade....Try putting a post in the...

Will keep an eye on this, i'm heading back to Huddersfield from the midlands this saturday but i'm guessing thats to soon....

Looking good ;) where did you order those lights from and how much? cheers!

Could be up for this, travelling from the midlands on the 31st to visit a friend in huddersfield....only 10 mins from that meet location to.

Mark thats a great pic, that exactly what i'm talking about - i just get contradicting views when i use the search section on here as everyone seems to state a Phase 2 works off the ABS and only Phase 1's off the Gearbox. But as yours is phase 2 that proves they do have the gearbox drive...

I bought my 2001 Phase 2 172 with the speedo not working. I have looked at the car and to the rear of the engine by the manifold is a plug going into no-where and just dangling dangerously close to the manifold. I have looked at my Bro's Cup which i know does not have abs and it is plugged into...

My phase 1 172 did something similar and that was the tdc, Do you have any friends/family that are a member of the rac/aa that have home start? When i was stuck for a solution on a breakdown i got the rac out to diagnose it....

Very Nice, what splitter is that?

Ok here's some of the damage,

Hey good to see the pics on here!! Yep mine was the damaged iceburg for sale on here, will pop some pic's of it on here in its former state when i get chance. In answer to your question its lowered on -40mm on Apex Springs, ride is harsh but you get used to it. I run the same springs on my...

Hi, Just a quick question, i need a new speedo sensor how much am i looking for a new one? is it a dealer only part? (Clio 172) Cheers Gav

Well i set myself a challenge of getting myself a cheap project that would boast both good performance and reliability for a 'ring car and i stumbled across this, Parked on someones drive, last taxed 2004 so i knocked the door and £500 later it was mine.... Its a '91 Toyota Celica GT4...

Mine is being treated to external respray in a few weeks and I use a local bodyshop that i've used before and it will be costing £500-£600 - thats with me doing the prep and stripping down the car of all trim - to reduce labour time so they can just get on and paint it. Definately shop around...

The AG looks stunning on the 1*2, Dooooooooooo it!!!

I'm at the ring this weekend aswell :) the last two times i have been, i just left the lights as they were and never had any bother, I got pulled over for a spot check by the german police last year and nothing was said. I'll be in a matt black celica gt4, will keep an eye out for you - have...

I have just picked up a cat d '01 172, was wrote off because almost all the windows were smashed, door & rear quarter kicked in. So once glass has been replaced, dents sorted it will be as good as new and no worse for being a cat d.....

Hi all, I am currently in the process of trying to unlock a lg viewty (KU990) from the Orange network. It is asking me now for an NCK code, I don't suppose anyone would know where i could obtain such code ? Any help greatfully appreciated!!

They do seem to be getting pretty popular mines been off the road for a month and sitting at the bottom out of my drive well out of view of the road and someone has already stuck a note on it asking if its for sale!

got a part number if that helps, 8200 054 232...
