Just wondering if anyone on here has made this move ? I know people have gone the other way but not know of anyone who has done this. I would be interested to hear your thoughts if you have. What could I expect by making this move ? A sacrifice in refinement no doubt ?

Ben H has just picked up the 172 from me............. I am now car-less............. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have mate ! Was quite a sad sight seeing it being driven away !

Not sure if this has been posted recently but thought it was worth a post just in case : http://cars.msn.co.uk/carnews/SpyShotsClioJan05/http://cars.msn.co.uk/carnews/SpyShotsClioJan05/ The back looks like a Peugeot 307 IMHO, it looks ok. Be interesting to see what the RS version looks like.

Which would you choose ?

Went to get into the car this morning to go to work, drove it out of the drive to swap the cars around, all was good. I parked it on the kerb and moved the other cars around. Went back to the car to go to work and turned the key, didnt start. Same old thing, never starts first time all the...

I fancy getting a new headunit for the car now. Has to be able to read MP3s. Would be good if it could be connected to my standard Alpine CD changer but I dont think this is possible ? It is a MKII 172 so it would be good if it matched the dash colours too and didnt look too out of place...

What are the wires for that are found underneath the front seats on a MKII 172 ? They are towards the front of the seat and if you sit on the seat and reach underneath you can touch them. Any help would be appreciated. Dai

OK, as some of you may know I am going to be heading off to Australia next year for a few months as the missus and I are looking to emmigrate out there by 2006 so we want to go and have a scouting mission to see if we like it out there. I have a MKII 172 which I am very happy with but it is...

I took my car in to have some warranty work done on it today. I also asked them to look at the drivers seat as it was showing signs of wear and the car has only done 15000 miles. Just got off the phone with the dealer now and they are ordering a new skin for the seat so I will have a new...

Simple poll. I have the equipment to put an LCD monitor and PS2 in my car and I was going to do this for when I go to Spa next week but now I am not so sure. I know it is illegal to watch it while driving so I would only use it when parked up. It would be good to hear the opinions of people...

OK, I have finally managed to get an inverter for the car. Where is the best place to wire up power to it ? I cannot use the cigarette lighter as I am using that for an LCD monitor. If someone could give me a quick HOW TO guide on what do then that would be awesome. Cheers, Dai

......the 172 around October time this year. I love the car but I think it is going to have to go sooner rather than later due to the other plans I have. I will need a car to drive until next year tho so will have to have a look around for something cheaper but still fun. Anybody want a...

.........in the last week ? Reg : RO02 *** ? Anyone off here ?

Going to Australia and visiting other parts of the world on the way in February and then the plan is to emmigrate towards the end of next year or start of 2006 if we like what we see so the car is going to have to go. When should I sell it ? Obviously I want to get the best price I can so the...

How many amps can I safely put through the cigarette lighter ? I was gong to connect an inverter to the cigarette lighter and then connect a PS2 and TFT Monitor to it, will this be ok ? If not, how else can I connect all this up ? Cheers...........

If you have, can you post up some pics of where you mounted it please ? I need some ideas. Also, does anybody know anywhere where they would build a custom bracket for you to your specification ? Is this costly ?

Anybody have any opinions on this head unit ? http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=3049http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=3049

.....etc. Where is the best (and hopefully cheapest) place to get these from ? I am going about installing a PS2/Xbox in my car with an LCD TFT Monitor and I want to connect the sound to the standard head unit. After discussions with Pete_172 it has been suggested that I can do this via an...

How easy is this to do ? I want to put my PS2 in the boot and hook it up to an LCD monitor mounted on the dash. Can someone who knows about these things please tell me what I need to do this and what sort of costs I am looking at. Forget about where it is going to be mounted as I have an...

I want to give my car a damn good clean on the weekend as I have not had a proper drive of her for a few weeks and I feel like I am neglecting her. Is there any easy way to get the paintwork gleaming WITHOUT polishing it ? It would also be good if this lasted longer than a 10 minute drive...

....one of those days I think ! Just parked the car in the multi-storey car park. As I was reversing into a space with a small wall at the back of the space, which I park in everyday, I went back too far and I could hear the bumper touching the wall ! Got out to see some nice small scractes...
