Just got a service kit of eBay and I want to check i have the right oil filter, part no. 82 00 768 913. When I look back at my old garage bills there are three different oil filters that have been used over the years, 86 71 002 274 or 82 00 867 976 or 82 00 033 408. The car is an import, are any...

I was having a go at changing my rear brake lines to braided ones today. However, I was unable to remove the old rubber line even when the union nuts were fully undone. Before anyone says, yes I am changing the right lines, passenger side just before the rear wheel. They seem stuck/rusted on...

On Henk's recommendation I am using the following files: grn_6400_2A07_WEB_RON98.rst 6400_2A07_WEB_RON98.cal Having a few problems with stalling. Cold start is fine, fires up first time and holds at a steady 1000rpm. After pulling away and coming to a stop the engine is hunting between...

Here are some pics, enjoy...

Just had my cam belt done on my 172. Only now realised I should of had the water pump done. Whats the life expentancy of water pumps? My car is 4.5 years old and has done 50k miles, cheers ;)

Does anyone know the paint code and where I can get the paint from to match the Clio Ph2 172 FF alloys? I have looked inside the hub cap and found a code "237". Is this the correct one? I have read that for the anthracite finish on the 182 alloys that Halfords Rover Storm Grey is a pretty good...

I have sourced a gearbox from a 182 Trophy a JC5-130. I assume it will fit my mk2 172 FF (a JC5-129) as both cars use the ABS sensor for the speedo. Can anyone confirm this and will I experience any problems due to different ratios?

I have 2002 on a 52 plate Clio 172 FF with 45k on the clock. I am tempted at the moment to trade up for a 2005 on a 55 plate 182 Cup with 14k on the clock. However, I have invested quite a bit of cash in the old girl. K-tec stealth exhaust, all alloys refurbed this year, new clutch and it has...

I have recently noticed that changing gears is not as smooth as before. Particularly second to third while giving it some. Sometimes it feels like the second gear is stuck and the same for fifth. I want to avoid changing the gearbox or clutch, is the anything else I can do like changing the...

I have read most of the threads on this subject but would like to clarify a few things. I have recently upgraded all my discs and pads. I'm running new Brembo HCs on the front, new OE discs on the back, & EBC black pads (K-Tec kevlar) all round. I have squeeling coming from the front brakes even...

Why is this site full of crap threads on the forums. It would be a great site for all 172 cup owners but there is nothing of any use really :S

Okay guys, I no this is probably the millionth thread on this subject but I would to get some feedback. I have fitted a Powerflex lower engine mount from K-Tec for the 172/182. I can say there is considerably vibration at idle! However, I can live with this with the improved tightness the...

Could four 16" alloy wheels with tyres fit in the boot of a 172 without folding the seats down?

On the Yozzasport and GDI websites the Brembo HC brake discs are priced at around £60. Is this the price for a pair or just one? :S
