Lady I bought my 172 off had 19's and has ruined the arches =[ they've rubbed in a few places and are not good! Back to 15's for me =]

Hope u get this sorted soon! Someone must know how to reset the alarm or just disconnect it! I'm glad just unplugging the hazard switch sorted mine. Gonna go down the scrappy and see if I can get hold of one! Good luck! ~ Barbie172

Didn't work with mine =[ tried turning it on and off, stalling it, playing with indicators, etc

Scuttle panel? What is this? And where do I find it? Is it the fuse box thing?

Ok, I'll try that over the weekend when the snows cleared enough to be able to get down to the car! Thanks =]

so how do I get the button out? will it come out with a bit of force down the side of the button to flip it out, or am I going to have to remove the surrounding panel?

I pulled my fuse out, but means I have no indicators =/

mine did the same yesterday. took the fuse out so battery wouldn't die. but same trouble no indicators because of it. haven't tried taking the button out yet as my car is parked about 5miles away. couldn't get it home because of snow =[ got couple days to find a solution, but hopefully both mine...

I pulled the fuse out, but means no indicators!

They shouldn't make these things so sensitive! I thought maybe it was the slight front-end knock that caused the problem?

I've tried wobbling the switch around a bit yesterday in order to try to get it out, but didn't budge. Does the surrounding panel need to be removed first? If so, what's the easiest way to get it off? Can't really do much until the snow clears and I can get back down to the car. Got over a foot...

I'll have it! :D

O that's crap! Does anyone know why it did it in the first place? ~ Barbie172

My 172 received a slight frontal knock yesterday in the snow (thank god no damage!) but since then my hazard lights won't go off! I abandoned the car outside Halfords (no way its getting up the hills where I live, traction is crap!) and the guys in there didn't have a clue what to do! I've...

Got my ticket, whoop!! ~ Barbie172

I don't get it?! ~ Barbie172

John- hehe love the inuendo. She fell straight into that one. I don't need to man up like has been said i dont drive a clio. 306 rallye is the way forward lads. Just messing with ya. I like the clio but i just prefer the 306's (they're cheaper too :cool:)

Don't think that's quite true with John, he's my passenger more than I'm his! ~ Barbie172

John- ah ok then. How do you lot deal with that would drive me mad. I will stick with my 306 :P Thanks for the reply

Hello, this is the said friend who has the 306. Kirsty had it wrong with the air blockage, i hadn't said that. Is a cable. I understand that with the 306 which is also renound for heavey clutches, because the cable with age just becomes stiff and can be sorted by replacing the cable. I just...

I'm slowly getting used to it. A few people have stalled mine too when driving it! ~ Barbie172

Mine's my everyday car so she does get some use! Been persuaded to bring it up by some lads on the Club306 forum, maybe they're changing sides =] ~ Barbie 172

O right, didn't know that, thanks =]

Ouch! Doesn't sound too fun to drive!

I'm considering driving up to this one, is it worth the fuel? ~ Barbie172 x

Thanks on that =] It could be that I'm just used to smaller-engined cars that have light clutches. One of my friends has a 1.4 Clio and he said mine is heavy to his. Maybe I'll get used to it eventually!

Ok, I've had my 172 a week and to me the clutch is really heavy =[ trying to hold the car still on hilled junctions is pretty hard and pulling away can't seem to be done with any speed without wheel spinning! Wheel span I have done in front of the Rozzers =/ luckily they didn't say anything...

I've just paid the membership fee and will repost, thanks =] ~ Barbie172 x

Hi I purchased my 172 a week ago, and I have to say I love it! The power, the looks, the engine rumble, the works! But I am in need of some advice on her ... To me the clutch is really heavy =[ trying to hold the car still on hilled junctions is pretty hard and pulling away can't seem to be done...
