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 !

Best disks are anything made with the Ritek g05 dye , ridisc ,sumvision , traxdata etc .... , its a dark purple dye . Best and cheapest place i go is to Bowlers computer fair , part of the northern computer markets . Depends where in the country your from though ...

Don't think so mate ! I just closed down anydvd and put in Greendays dvd which is region , 2,3,4,5 and 6 and it asked me to choose my region , which i did . Now the drive has only 4 times remaining to choose my region before it locks . Thats on a brand new lite-on dvd drive and also on my...

I'm not surprised you engine was stalling with only 6 - 8v , your battery must have been well fcuked ! MrBillyUK !

Thats new one on me Roy ! I've flashed alot of drives in my time but it doesn't unlock the drive !!! It will still lock to region of the 5th dvd that you play whatever firmware you have . You need region free dvd or anydvd to unlock it . MrBillyUK !

Who voted it the best ?? Can't get any easier or more user friendly than 5 clicks of your mouse can ya ?? MrBillyUK !

What about a Seat Ibiza Cupra TDI ? Good figures for an oil burner 0 - 60 7.6 secs , top speed 136mph . People talk of 0 - 60's with 0.2 of a second , it depends whos driving it , even with a couple of seconds , one bad gear change and you've blown it . MrBillyUK !

I've used clonedvd2 for the past couple of years , never had a problem and lets say i've burned well over a 1000 dvd's ;) ;) I always use good quality dvd-r's , with the ritek go5 dye , they are a darker purple than some of the cheaper dyes . Dvd shrinks good , but you need something like nero...

The best program out there is clonedvd2 .It rips it to your hard drive and burns it all in one . You have the option of leaving in r taking out full menus , trailers , subtitles , 5.1 , stereo 2 channel .5 clicks is all it takes. The second best is dvd shrink , which is readily available as a...

My sincere apologies Lunner !! I'm as thick as fcuk :( lol . Your right m8 , thins as it gets hotter , too much christmas drink has pickled my brain ;) MrBillyUK !

If your batteries reading 12v when its running its knackered mate ! You should be looking for a reading of over 14v , typically 14.10v or above when the engines running with nothing else turned on i.e . lights , heater ,cd player etc ..... To check your battery if the car hasn't been running...

I still say that a good fully synthetic 5w-40 is the best for an older car .I wouldn't go too thin cos you don't know the condition of the bores or piston rings . It take a good 10 - 15 mins to get the oil up to temp and thicken up . MrBillyUK !

You know your onions don't ya m8 ! Well spotted , thats the only difference in mine and the originals . MrBillyUK !

Would have been good to see engine bay pics with the filter in place ! Are you gonna put some on here ? MrBillyUK !

Doubt it m8 ! It wouldn't be worth their while printing one for a car with limited sales compared to the bog standard clio . MrBillyUK !

Alright Sad clio geek ;) ! How can ya tell the difference ? They are a better quality aluminium than the originals ,they are like thick cooking foil ,lol ;) MrBillyUK !

They just pop rivet on like the originals ! MrBillyUK !

Its not a dry battery m8 ,were you have to add the acid when ya get it home is it ?? MrBillyUK !

Heres a pic of the new pedal covers i made . Can you tell the difference between these and the originals ? http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d127/mrbillyuk/ALLOYPEDALS.jpg MrBillyUK !

They wear out cos they are thin aluminium covers , not full pedals .Aluminium is only soft . MrBillyUK!

Mines a Toad A850T 2 2 flashes = optional sensor 3 flashes = doors (-) 4 flashes = boot/bonnet 5 flashes = doors (+) 6 flashes = ultrasonic sensor 7 flashes = ignition MrBillyUK !

Your better off with a good quality fully synthetic 5w-40 .0w-40 on an older car might be a bit thin and with an older worn engine can pass the piston rings or leak from the sump gasket tec .... The 0w or 5w shows the viscosity from cold , the lower the number the thinner the oil is from cold...

The original alloy pedals do wear out , depends on your driving position . I'm 6'1" and like to sit close to the steering wheel so it means i press the pedals more sideways on than on the top so i wore out the sides of the clutch n brake pedals . So i just got some grade A aluminium sheet and...

Looks good ! Can't wait to see other colours , everybodies got a silver car .At last some decent looking wheels too . MrBillyUK!

Haynes won't do a manual for the 172 / 182 and they aren't likely to ever do one because its a special edtion clio with not many sales compared to the bog standard clio it wouldn't be worth their while printing one .The haynes manual will cover alot of stuff , bodywork etc... but won't cover...

I can't believe people keep saying the rear disks don't do much ! Its true that the fronts do most of the braking ( around 75 - 80% ) if you didn't need em they would fit drums instead of disks . And by the way , my rears work perfectly fine . I need to change the disks as they are well worn...

I had a " t " . Just reset the trip computer and it vanished and its not come back on yet . Maybe it was just an old fault stored . MrBillyUK !

You wanna get urself one of these magnetic pick up tools . Lots of pound shops sell em . http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=18440&ts=30161 MrBillyUK !

Yep , thats what i'm saying . The 172 isn't a patch on my old Pug 306 S16 when it comes to handling , not quite as fast as the 172 in a straight line granted , but round the twisty bits it was hell of alot better .Having driven both for many miles i know which car i would put my confidence in...
