Does anyone know where the relay for the hazard/indicator lights is located on a 172? Is it accessible? Yesterday morning my battery was flat and the car wouldn't start. I jump-started the engine and everything was fine apart from the hazard lights won't turn off. I assume this is what...

Hi all, I had a strange problem with my car this morning. The key fob wouldnt unlock the car and I had to unlock it manually (alarm went off as a result which only deactivated after a few clicks on the key). Once in the car I noticed the clock had reset to 00:00 but the radio still had...

My Cup is in the bodyshop at the moment having some damage repaired. Ill need to claim on insurance at some point but Ive put it off because Im due to renew this month. Anyway, today I got my renewal letter through and it has my no-claims bonus as it would be without a claim as well as the...

Ive managed to add my car to the growing list of cup casualties! 10 mins after having one tyre changed and the rear wheels swapped with the fronts at kwik-fit I crashed the car (usual tyre place had let me down, the front right was below legal limit and I wanted the oil changed at the same...

Hi all, I need to refit the standard ECU but in the rush Ive mixed it up with the R-sport ECU. Can anyone tell me the part numbers on the standard ECU? Cheers, G

Anyone running these? Or 205/40/16? Thought Id try them next since the 182 runs on them. Id like a bit more traction, esp. round corners. Just dont want to wreck steering feel, turn-in etc. in the process.

Anyone know how much a new Cup gear knob and leather gear shift gaiter would set me back? Part numbers as well? Fancy having the standard one in case in the far future I decide to sell and have to return it to standard - I fitted the B+M shifter today. Also, I seem to have snagged the...

Recently Ive noticed a sort of crackling/rattling noise possibly from the engine or front of the car when thrashing about at 6000rpm plus. How can I tell if this is an ordinary dashboard rattle or whether the engine is pinking? Ive run on Optimax since new, have a PiperX panel filter and...

Which is it? I keep seeing both versions on Renaults pages but now the renaultsport.co.uk site lists it as Clio Renaultsport.

...from Protyre/Bath Road Tyres in Slough. Give em a ring if u need new rubber. They cost me £74 a few months ago from the same place. I needed to replace the near-side front after a slow puncture developed this week - the tyre had 15psi in it when I checked on Tuesday! Looks like a...

Hmmm. Lower than last week :confused: 23 degC 142 bhp at 5800rpm 156 lbft torque All at the wheels of course. I queried the lbft units hes used and he said thats right. So Im 4 bhp and 10lbft of torque down! Need to see what Chris gets at Powerzone and compare. On the road...

I fitted the ECU this afternoon - bloody nightmare getting the ECU cover off! After two hours (!) Id got the old chip out and fitted the new one, locked and unlocked the car a couple of times and all was well - no warning lights or blown fuses, unlike my headunit install! Then the best bit...

OK, got it on the rolling road this morning. They only had an analogue scale so Ive only got max BHP and torque at the wheels: ambient temp. 22 degC 146 BHP at 6000rpm 166.8 lbft torque For completeness they calculated the flywheel figures as well: 167.9 BHP 191.92 lbft torque...

Ill have it tomorrow hopefully :) Ill be getting the car RRd b4 and after so I/we can see exactly what effect it has on performance. Anyone know a decent rolling road in the Slough area? Ive seen a place called Novatech has one - anyone had experience of these? Cheers, G

...from Justmatz have finally arrived. Ill have some pics up tonight hopefully. The shade of blue is darker than the RS blue on their site but should go well inside the car. Quality seems to be excellent.

I had two new Eagle F1s fitted yesterday - £71 each from protyre in Slough. I asked for the rears to be moved to the front and the new tyres put on the back, as recommended by a few peeps in previous threads. But the bloke at the tyre place said that because the F1s are directional the new...

Anyone know what oil is used in the 172s gearbox as standard? I want it changed to try and improve the gear change as its too notchy for my liking. If its still sh*te Im getting the K-Tec quick shift. CB1A recommended ELF TRANSELF - TRJ 75W/80 (PT No 7701383037) a while ago which Ill...

Is anyone else from here going?

Ive finally managed to fit my new Sony CDX-M850MP headunit and Connects2 adaptor - only took me 4 hours but it was my first time! However, I managed to blow a fuse when the yellow power cable touched the metal casing of the headunit - I forgot to put the plastic boot back on the power...

anyone have this? How complete is the camera database? How frequent are the software/db updates? I have a palmpilot already and was thinking of getting a GPS -type camera detector. £250 for GPS receiver and TrafCam software seems a fair bit cheaper than the standalone systems, and I...
