    engine trouble starting

    ^^what he said. I find occasionally my 51 plate 172 wont start if ive reversed it out of the garage then turned it off to go get my work bag etc. 5 minutes later when im trying to start it again it just dies after 1 second, wait a minute then try it again and its fine.

    is my engine jiggered??

    bet thats a relief. I had exactly the same noise last week and like you it turned out to be something that had unclipped itself. edit -same post count as me too. lol.

    Yay, I got one... (172 that is..)

    Looks great ! good price too. Only thing i picked up on was this bit "Details -The obligatory belts have been changed" I suspect this doesnt include the cambelt which is needed after 5 years or 72k . This can be costly to do and will cost you round about £500 including the 72k service.

    Really dont know what to do! My 172 vs. House!

    You can sleep in the car but you cant drive a house ! But seriously, Youd save loads in insurance and maintenance on the car if you sold up and got a banger to runa around in for the year or two.

    Nice pics. Youve got the same narrow garage as me, same colour and everything. Mines just about wide enough to slide the car in with and inch or two spare each side of the wing mirrors. You should get a civic aerial as you probably find the garage door catches the renault one when its parked...

    Laptop problems - dead screen?

    if its the backlight thats gone its likely the invertor has blown or has a dodgy connection. Try massaging the bottom of the frame of the screen with your thumb ontop and fingers behind the screen. Or try moving the screen 180' then closing it, sometimes this causes the ribbon cable that...

    Clio RS diesel/LPG version people views.

    Mike Se: Is there a brand name or model number on the kit youve got installed, also did you see any receipts when you bought the car that say how much the conversion was. Is there any downsides or side effects at all.

    Workshop manual on CD, from who?

    Thats a great Idea, if someone has about 2gb of webspace I can upload them. Failing that they are available for download on emule, just search for dialogys - there should be 3 cds, possibly 4 if it includes the training disk.

    Workshop manual on CD, from who?

    Impressed ! but how did you manage to install Quicktime and acrobat etc onto the DVD when they need registry entries and DLL's in the system32 folder. Does the DVD work on a computer thats just had a fresh install of XP.

    Workshop manual on CD, from who?

    If its the Dialogy cds, you need to reinstall Quicktime (from the cd) but make sure you select JAVA something or other in the custom options.
