How is this done? A mechanic friend of mine put one in a vice, plugged a multimeter on the terminals and then heated the probe up with a blowtorch. He said that depending on the values shown on the multimeter would confirm if they were buggered or not. Is this true??

I am going to have my belts done soon, and think it would be rude not to partake in a cheeky cam swap while I am there. Mine is a ph1 172 used as a daily. Only mods being a panel filter and stainless. What's the CS general concensous on the 197 swap? think its worth the extra cost? And I...

Well, I was going to replace the clio with something like a GT TDi or BMW 330D. But on my 60mile a day commute that I have recently started, my Ph1 has been giving me 40mpg (even with a lambda light on), so it looks like she is staying. However, I want to freshen her up, so the list is as...

Parked up near Smyths toystore about 5pm. Stanced really well

Is it the same diameter as a standard pov spec wheel, just with leather and the centre horn buttons? Or is it actually smaller?

Had a little idea to make my life a bit easier come MOT time. I am currently running a decat, so have my 172 cat in the shed. Could I cut the cat out of this, and make some sort of sleeved 182 cat to fit this. Then also make a straight pipe the same. So rather than having to mess with the...

So, our lass knows I like the Sabelt RenaultSport wheel, and wants to buy me one for my birthday. However, as much as i like the look of them, I am not sure I want one in my car. I mean, if i get it dirty, or the suede goes flat, i would be pissed with myself. However, also there is the fact I...

So, within a week of woning the Phs1, I had put my Koni adjustables and apex springs on it. I then added a cup spoiler and, last week, put a decat and full stainless on with no middle box. So the car is now low and loud. But looking at it lastnight, I got the urge to put the standard stuff...

Saturday, apprx 5pm. You came on around Sale and looked to be heading to liverpool. I was in the black astra, the one that was staring. Car looked lovely!!

Is it actually possible, if I have the bumper, bonnet and lights, to swap the lot over onto my Phs1? Its Iceberg, so would be easy enough to get the parts I suppose

Is this a bumper off and headlights out jobbie? Or can it be done in situ? Anyone got a guide?

I am looking at ordering a HID set for my phs1 172 I think the projectors take H3s, but can someone confirn please. Thanks

And is there a high res version of this pic?

Had a CD on in the car before, sounded fine. Chucked it in the PC and ripped it to the hard drive, sounded all stattic, like it was a radio out of tune a bit. Can still hear the tune, but its really bad. Cipied to the phone, done the same with that too. Youtube sounds fine though. Time for a...

This has been getting progressively worse over the last two week. Runs fine, revs fine, but then idles really shitty and low and has started stalling. I am thinking ISCV or lambda? Throttle has bee cleaned out already so I can rule that out. No EML on the dash. Can the ISCV be cleaned...

OK, so mine was ripped from the rubber, meaning it needed changing. Rather than go solid, I grabbed a second hand one for now. But on fitting, there seemed to be more movement, more space for the mount to move in. Like the rubber buffer blocks were too small. But on checking, they were the...

Was passing a local industrial estate tonight, thought I would grab a couple of cheeky shots. Not cleaned, and wheels need a refurb, but meh....

My Phs 1 didnt come with a service book, but I do have all the receipts from the old ones Is it possible to buy a service book from ebay and send it to the dealers/garages to be stamped up? Do they charge for this?

I seem to remember something being spoke about that brought the gearstick back a little. Like 1st was wear neutral was. Anyone any ideas. Think it was Fred that was banding the idea about

TNT doing a fine job of just throwing parcels in and out of their delivery vans Obviously, due to the massive chip, this is no longer of use to me, so the seller is going to have to refund me and sort the insurance out with TNT. I actually expected it to be packed a little more...

I need a new one, so obviously best to swap a pair. But are ones from a motorfactor good enough, or is this another "renault only" item?

I am sure they are, but just wanted to check, would konis off a none cupped phs2 fit my 2001 phs1??

Are the mk2 rear shocks all the same? As in 1.2 to 172?? Or are the sports different?

Is it possible to fit one of these from the front of the gearbox to the subframe? Just thinking it might help stiffen it up

Just wondered if anyone had any pics on a silver Phs1?

I was thinking of signing up, given a lot of pirate sites for downloading films are closing. Whats the deal (cant get on to view at work)? Its is £7 a month and stream as many films as you like, all day every day? How far behind are they for relases on the likes of blockbuster etc?

I am picking the new 172 up on saturday from blackburn and want to take it straight to NWP for the aux belt to be done. Its an hour drive and not sure I would trust it not to jump off, so need to tow it there. I would be happy to dip some fuel/beer tokens to anyone that can help
