Hey folks After checking loads of things and coming to the conclusion that my 172 needed a new gearbox it turned out that the previous owner had actually fitted driveshafts that were too long :o So new ones fitted and the cars perfect. So im now left with 2 new driveshafts that have done...

Hey folks Got my 172 phase 1 a few weeks ago and I've been told to check the front bushes to make sure the metal sleeve has been tack welded in place. I've got powerflex bushes all round btw. So I had a look and they've not been tacked in place :(. So ill bring the welded home at the weekend...

Hey folks Bought my phase 1 172 a few weeks ago and just started this noise. When I'm turning right it makes a clicking sort of noise. I can feel it inside the car also. Gets faster with speed aswell. Feels like its coming from the drivers side also. Was told its probably the outer cv joint...

Hey folks My clio came with no handbook etc that's usually in the glovebox. It wasn't there when the last owner bought it either. So could anybody tell me what books I need to get my hand on? eBay have a fair few for clios for sale but I'm unsure on what one is for my car. It's a 2000 phase 1...

Hey folks Bought myself a nice phase 1 tonight with some good parts fitted. The last owner hasn't done any miles on the suspension really and not had the geometry set up. On the way home it was very shaky and vibrating quite a lot at high speeds so it's definitely needing set up. Got a local...
