Hi, The front and rear wipers on my mk2 172 are crap. Even with a perfectly clean windscreen (tried proprietary glass cleaners, meths, alcohol) and clean blades, the wipers smear - its almost like theyre not removing all the water and leaving a very thin flim/smear of water behind. SOOOOO...

Hello, Does anyone know what happened to my thread about Serious performance. i cant seem to find it. Brun pointed out about a wrong pic on the website, and i wanted to check which one it was. Has the thread been moved/deleted? Im sorry if I posted it in the wrong forum. Can anyone...

Hi, Just to let you know that www.seriousperformance.co.uk is now up and running. They stock a huge range of US products that would be near impossible to locate in the UK. Good prices, with free p+p on about 95% of items, and great service which I can vouch for personally. Alex is also...

Hello all, As you may or may not know, ive been harping on a lot about S100 polish and wax recently, which is only available from Harley dealers. Well, S100 is actually the cheaper version of a wax called P21S. They both seem to be identical products, indeed, the manufacturer of P21S told...

Hi, There seems to be a lot of discussion on here recently about keep your car nice and clean. Most people are happy to pop in to Halfords, pay their over-inflated prices for mediocre mainstream products. If youre happy with that, fine. Why not try out true entusiast products, like...

Hello, Thinking of getting some new wipers for my 172, as the standard ones are really peeing me off - they dont seem to make full contact with the glass across the width of the blade, as it looks like they smearing instead of clearing the water away. Would buying some better ones, such as...

Hi, Filled up my screenwash bottle today, and noticed that my header tank has minimun and maximum marks. The coolent is above the minimum mark and I wondered what to do. Can I just add half a litre of filtered tap water, or a bottle of still water? or do I need to add some special...

Hello, Just went down to my dealer today to get a little rattle looked at, which they fixed. While I was waiting for the RTE I had a look in their merchandise display cabinet and there was a mk2 172 (in silver) model in there. It looked fairly accurate as it even had the washer jets on the...
