I've just recently got rid of my 172, however, my washers use to leak in very hot and cold temperatures. In summer 05, they were leaking significantly so i took it to a local & useless dealer who said they'd never seen it etc.... i then visited a more helpful dealer for a second opinion and they...

I've had a look at the light unit myself and there are some white topped plastic screws (with an allen key head). i wonder if they have anything to do with it?? I also have about 10m distance too - i'm blaming the t**t who pulled out in front of me resulting in my car headlights, bumper and...

Hi Guys, Does anyone know how to adjust the height of the headlight beam on xenon headlights? Help would be much appreciated, Cheers.

i had fun and games trying to get the original airbox back on tonight following the impact of my accident (only very light frontal - cracked bumper, wing and dented bonnet). the one bracket closest to the headlight for the original airbox had bent, managed to get it back on tho, airbox just sits...

cheers guys - it doesnt sound as good, i must admit.

I've just taken off my K&N induction kit tonight and put the original one on (due to a pending insurance claim ;) following some 'merc-driving tit' pulling out in front of me!). After giving it a blast around the local roads, my 172 feels quicker. There is less mid range pull without the...

After recently purchasing a snooper, I was just wondering the best route to take when fitting the 'perminant' power wire? I am sick of the bungy wire being in the way of my stereo!! Having just looked at my car, i think the best way (from the cig lighter) is to send it through and behind...

Apparently its the aircon, theres a crack in the system and an oily orangy substance is dripping down. they use an orange dye for the aircon solution so it shows where a crack is in the system should it be leaking. thankfully its gettin replaced under warranty - wouldnt fancy working around that...

Evening all, Ive noticed that over the last week my 2004 172 has been leaving some concerning oil spills on the drive. If you measure about 20cm back from the nearside front fog light, (where some plastic casing ends) its there. it only seems to be leaking after a journey when the oil is hot...

Shocking! I havent heard of one dealer that isnt useless! Thanks for your help mate, best have a look through the yellow pages to find a dealer! Anyone know of a good dealer in the North Leeds (near Leeds/Bradford airport) area?

Do you know what causes it Lee? Its jus that when I last took my clio in for some warranty work (for a new pop rivet to stop a rattle) my car managed to rack up 15miles!! thanks for your help

Afternoon guys Im wondering if you can help me? My mk2 172 has developed a leaking headlamp washer over the weekend. The washer itself looks fine, however, water is leaking from the top of the jet. Has anyone else experienced such a problem? Is it caused by the hot weather, a flying stone or a...

Having owned a 172 for the last 4months, id warn you to beware of torque steer and avoid harsh acceleration round bends and roundabouts (especially in the wet). Apart from that youve got a cracking deal, the most exciting and enjoyable hot hatch. AND more importantly something that will spank...

cheers mate

What is the best cleaning product to use for cleaning alcantara seats? i understand alcantara does stain easily if the wrong type of cleaner is used, and would therefore prefer to avoid such problems!! Cheers
