    Dropped something down the scuttle panel

    Basically I've been a bit of a tool and dropped a piece of a tool and a 6mm bolt down next to where resistor pack is and it's not fallen out of the bottom yet. Will it come out on it's own or do I have to go looking for it and is there anything down there it can damage? Cheers -Jas.

    Mk2 172 CC resistor pack help

    Hi guys, After a bit of searching I have put my heater problem down to the resistor pack as I have no air blowing at all (great when your temp guage says it's -2C outside!).

    Ph2 172 Knocking/Creaking Noise

    Only noticed it this morning so hopefully a new problem. When I pull away (forwards or reverse) in a straight line I get a knocking/creaking noise. The best way to describe it is a quiter version of the noise you get when you are holding your car on a hill using the footbrake and let go...

    Interesting Tyre Wear

    I noticed this morning that my passenger side front tyre is flat on the outside shoulder. It's been on the car for about 13 months/15,000 miles and the rest of the tyre has loads of tread left. The driver's side front is fine. Is this just a case of my taking roundabouts too fast or could...

    32" HD LCD TV - Which one?

    It's Jan sales time and I think that it's time for a new TV! I've narrowed down the decision to between a Toshiba 32C3030D and a Samsung 32" R88. I've read a few reviews and the Samsung seems to be better, but on reading the specs there is very little difference between them. Has anyone got...

    Strange noise after cambelt and aux belt change

    I got my cambelt/aux belt/idlers/tensioners changed at AngelWorks last week and ever since I've had a wierd noise coming from my engine - it sounds like they've added a supercharger to it! At low revs it sounds like air escaping from somewhere, but when you pick it up past 2.5k there is a...

    Excess Camber

    A week ago (ish) I posted up (here: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=206858&highlight=uneven+camber) that I was getting negative camber on my driver's side front wheel. Since then I have had it up on ramps and managed to work out the ball-joint was bent. I replaced that, along...

    Knocking noise and other weird things

    Help! A couple of weeks ago I noticed the steering wheel pointing to the left ever so slightly when going in a straight line. Thought nothing of it apart from "I need my tracking sorting". Then about a week later, I noticed when going above 80mph I got a vibration through the steering wheel...

    24k Service advice

    I've just been quoted £260 for a 24k service from a Renualt main dealer. Am I right in thinking this is way too much? Can anyone recommend anyone else in the Herts/Essex/Cambs area that will do the service for me for less? Cheers -Jaz.

    InCarTec Adapter Question

    I've bought a stalk/screen adapter for my 172/Kenwood h/u and was wondering if the lead that runs from the little black box to the plug on the back of the h/u is generic?

    I've had my 52 plate 172 for two and a half months now and it's great. The only thing tht is really starting to get to me is the exhuast. After 3 weeks of ownership the back box started to blow and was replaced by a standard item. This evening I have noticed the centre section is starting to...
