Time to say goodbye to my 1.2 172 replica :-(
Somebody went into the back of me and insurance have decided to write it off :-(
Car Before
As it Stands Now
Gutted....
Went out to the car this afternoon to change my headlight bulb, just happened to glance at my drivers side top mount and noticed that the metal that it sits on top of (the bit that is in between the top and bottom part of the mount) has began TEARING away!!
I've got Vmaxx coil overs on the...
Ok, I've got an '04 1.2 16v. Recently it's been playing up. When you accelerate, it just struggles, I can have my foot to the floor and it won't move, or I'll be driving along the motorway at like 70, and the car will just die, the speed drops to like 50 and then it'll go again.
I was...
I borrowed a friends camera while he's away, just used it to take some pictures. But all the pics are saved as .CR2 ??
How do I convert them, as I can't open them as they are.
Did try a program off the net, but it won't let me convert them without leaving a watermark on the image, 'cos...
Ok. After seeing some pics on here of cars that have been detailed, i've decided to give it a go.
I already clean and polish my car regularly, but have decided to give claying and waxing a go.
Was just looking for some advice on what to do/ what order to do things in, here's a list of the...
Noticed the last couple of weeks that every now and again my car just randomly loses power, I can have my foot to the floor and it just don't "go", and then all of a sudden it will just surge off.
It feels as though the car is braking, if that makes sense.
Can't be the brakes though, just...
Hi, i'm currently turning my clio into a 172 rep, my car is a dynamique, with a painted spoiler, is it the same as the 172 spoiler? Or are they different?
Thanks, Julian.
Anyone got any idea how much I can expect to pay from the stealers for a set of RS wings? (172/182 shape)?
And, does anybody know the part number?
Thanks.
Had my car for about 6 months now, decided to make a rep out of it.
Bits i've bought so far are :
Powertec Induction Kit (fitted)
Front RS Bumper
Rear RS Bumper (fitted)
RS Skirts
Set of 172 Wheels (going to be refurbed in matt black)
New Exhaust
V-Maxx Coilovers
Bits I'm planning on...
Right, time to get my car lowered,looking for some advice, it's completely standard atm, just got a set of 172 wheels for it, just wondering what's the best way to go, springs or coilovers? And what's the difference? And, how much should I drop it by?
I've got a 1.2 16v 04 plate, seems really ticky, was just wondering if these engines are generally quite ticky or if there is summit wrong with it? It's recently had a head gasket (well 3 actually!! Around 2000 miles ago), could it be this gone again? not losing no water, and oil seems fine, jw...
I've just put an induction kit on my 1.2 16v, took the factory air filter off, was wondering if there was anything I could buy just to set over the top of the engine, where the air filter used to sit, just looks really ugly now, can see the plug wires poking out etc.
I've noticed this since I bought my car, if it's raining and i put the wipers on auto, they work fine, but then if I turn the car off, then when i start the engine again (with the wiper still in AUTO position) they won't work, I have to turn them off and back on again. I'm sure my sisters 172...
I have a bit of a problem with my air con and outside temperature display. Somebody very nicely hit my passenger wing mirror off, since then I have lost the temperature display by the clock, and also my air con is always warm(climate).
Also, the AUTO mode on it will not work, it just does...
