    Ripped my nearside front wheel off!

    Oh bugger! Driving up a hill today (Toys Hill, towards Brasted, for anyone who knows it), round a sharp corner, national speed limit zone and I was going about 30-35. There was a car on the other side of the road, coming down the hill, and he was on the line. I moved over to the left and ran...

    Linux Media Centre

    I guess this is for all the Linux bods out there. I'm currently looking into a Media Network, the hub of which was going to be a Windows MCE/Vista based PC, with 360s as the 'Terminals' that I could stream media to. Now, what I want to know is if there's anyway I could do the same thing with...

    Rubber Insert (Oooh Errr Missus!)

    Right, on the Ph1 172 there's a small rubber insert on each side at the top of the windscreen. One of mine has vanished! Anyone know the part number? Now, it looks like it might have been joined onto the rubber surround, is this the case? Am I buggered? Do I need a whole new rubber surround?

    Tyre Choices!

    I'm going to treat the old gal to a new set of shoes next month, probably Pilot Exaltos. I'm a little clueless about this, they're 195 R50 15s on there at the mo, should I stick with those or can I go 195 R45 15? Should I? I'd guess people generally use mytyres, and I take it you can get them...

    Good Deal?

    It's time I got my arse in gear and kept my pride a joy clean. I've found this, which looks like a good package - perhaps with the addition of a clay bar? Thoughts please gentlemen! http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/shop/complete-detailing-kits/wash-39-n-39-wax-your-car-kit/p_188.html

    Right guys, I need help! (But that's another matter...) I want to know, start to finish, what to use, and the best way to clean my car. Before I've followed this: Rinse, Wash using generic brand shampoo, then Squeegee using one of those rubber blades, and it always looks awful afterwards...

    Performance Mods

    Right, I've had my 172 Ph1 for 2 weeks now and I bloody love it! I've embarassed a few BMW drivers as well as some other cars I'd assumed to be pretty damm quick in the past (And no - I don't want to get into the whole, "It's not the car, it's the driver" arguement). I now want to start on...

    Thought I'd put my Tomtom GO 300 in my 172 last night as the Mrs and I have got to go to Bournemouth in a couple of weeks and I wanted to try it in the new car. Well, damm thing doesn't work! It just won't detect a GPS signal - any ideas anyone? Edit: Yes, it still actually works - popped it...

    2001(Y) 172 Limited Edition

    Afternoon all! Just joined the forum and I thought I'd start by asking for some advice. Just been to a local dealer (AR Cars in Cowden) and seen a tidy 172 on a Y Plate for £4990. Used to have a 2000 X RSi which I was very happy with, so I've had a Clio before. I've managed to get the guy...
