Evening, Finally renewed my membership after a few years of a poverty account just lurking in the General Chat. Back Story: I’ve had this 172 since 2015 after getting a Seat Cupra earlier that year and still having the RS bug (had a 182 then a 225 F1 before the Cupra) Paid £650 for it...

Hi All, Finally replaced the starter motor in my PH1 172 (with much swearing and awkward positions) after months of being in the garage with the old failed one. Now it’s all in i had my fingers crossed or ready to give up however now when i turn the key the starter motor spins but the engine...

Evening, My Ph1 172 that hasn’t been on the road for just over two and a half years is finally back on (occasional start and drive down the short road at the back of our houses in that time). The battery was knackered from being left out in the cold/not used etc.. So i got a new one and fitted...

Here's a longer story than it needs to be.. So it's time for my renewal on my Leon Cupra and I've waited until now to try and get the 172 insured as it's been off the road for a good while. I'm Currently with Adrian Flux who managed to get my renewal price on the Cupra down from £515 to £461...

Spotted you driving towards the roundabout where the o2 Apollo. 197 style rear badge. Looked smart

Evening, First of all, i'm not chav, or a boy racer i just like to have some extra bass to my car and I've had this box for the last 6 years :). Just changed the HU in my car which has an actual wiring harness with phono outputs for Front L/Front R/Rear L/Rear R/SUB Out. My sub has twin phono...

So it's about time i posed a thread for this now. My last car was a Megane 225 F1 which i loved, it was a nice step up from the 182 i had previously. I had the Megane for just over a year (still do, up for sale..!) and i always had an itch for a Leon even before i bought the Megane but i wanted...

So my insurance is due in 3 days and i'm stuck on what to do. I think i'm going to end up going with the dearer price in the end after all this but i thought i would ask and maybe the insurance people could stick their nose in. My renewal is coming back at around £680, this is very similar to...

I posted this a while ago on ms.net but it's pretty quite over there and you lot normally can sort most queries out! I bought my 225 with a Forge DV already fitted but i want it removed now and i'm unsure what i need to buy in order to remove it all and go back to how it should be. The layout...

So after finally sorting my door out its time to sort out the next little niggle I have. My steering likes to make a loud squeak when at low speeds or stationary turning the wheel, rather embarrassing when in car parks I must admit ! I couldn't find a proper answer when searching around the...

Spotted you in the area. *GPE Reg. looked clean and smart :)

So my door now and again has had the issue that when i open from the inside and try to close the door it bounces back and doesn't lock into place and shut, to solve this all i did was lift the handle on the outside and close it and the door would then close fine. Right now it has done it and...

So after half way through reading about the DA and so on on DW i'm ready to purchase one to try and get my car looking a little bit better ready for CS Saturday and the likes. There are imperfections all over that either disappear with a decent polish or at least look better after one. I also...

So I'm in the process of trying to remove my standard exhaust. Waiting for a 13mm deep socket to undo the centre clamp so I thought I'd remove the part attached to the CAT. In the most awkward place ever to get to i think I can manage it but I'm not sure how to actually undo it. Is it just...

So while the car is off the road I'm attempting to remove the old pins/pads before I order a new set on my 225. The pins are just not moving so I used the method of cutting them down inside at each end. This made me able to get the pads out but the head of the pin is still in the rear of the...

Does anyone recommend anywhere to go to around the Barnsley Area. Eventually after a front end respray and a couple of other bits doing but first i just wanted some general interior parts from the 225 spraying such as the centre console, wing mirror covers, grab handles etc.. but all the big...

Megane 225 F1 Everything spot on so far, changed the spark plugs a couple of weeks ago, oil and filter change too. All been fine. Power delivery has been spot on until today. I put some fuel(momentum) in at Tesco and set off fine, got to some NSL roads and noticed the revs seem limited. Say...

So my 225 has developed this odd rattling when going over little bumps in the road. Say I'm going down the road at 20mph and the road is uneven (like every road around here) I can hear this rattle that sounds asif a bolt is slightly lose with a metal washer and it's ringing as it goes over the...

So what are Yorkshire people doing for CS Saturday? Anyone heading down and camping? Friday night or Saturday night? Both?

I was sure i had a project thread for my old car but i can't seem to find it. Started off in January 2012 buying a Titanium 182. Loved every minute of it (most of them anyway). So just over a week ago i traded it in for a Megane 225 F1. Quite a few things to do to it to get it to where...

Part-ex'd my car the other day and its already on their website up for sale! Obviously not worth the price it's up for mind. http://www.sherwoodhallgarage.co.uk/used-cars/renault-clio-2-0-16v-renaultsport-182-3dr-mansfield-201402071626811Nice crease in the passenger rear arch. Splitter could do...

So my washer jets on my car don't work, after spending hours trying to get it sorted I managed to get the front and the head lights but my rear must be blocked up but I can't sort it. Will it fail the MOT because the rear jet doesn't work? I have searched and old threads seem to say its fine...

Evening, this is is a strange one to me. Cars been running smooth and fine for a while now, earlier on I had my tyres changed at a garage. Left and all was fine, started up a few times since then today and no problems. About an an hour I go I decided to change my splitter, left my...

So i was one of the lucky ones who was chosen to test the sample of Auto Finesse Spirit wax. I have found it difficult to get it done sooner with the weather and work but i managed to have a good clean last week. Overall i'm really pleased, gave a real good deep glossy look to my Titanium. I'll...

So my cars had the exhaust changed at some point in its life for an original standard one. The way they have done it is they have cut the exhaust before the back boxes so it can be put in and used a sleeve to clamp it together. This has now gone rusty and blowing pretty bad. What sized sleeve...

Anyone ever used a third party service over going to your provider? I have just taken out a contract with O2 and it turns out they will not unlock the 5s as it's still in a credit agreement and will only unlock if I pay it all off. Before the end date to send it back which is Monday are the...

Black 5 door rep parked up at Doncaster Dome this evening. Was cool to see a 5 door version in person after seeing them on here in pictures.

Been out tonight driving about when my car started to make a weird high pitch sound, I then noticed a bit of smoke out of the front and turned the engine off. Checked the oil, was in the lower notch so just topped it up (had some in the boot) Tried turning the engine on and it hesitated, turned...

So late on last year my O/S rear shock leaked and I could really feel it had gone. Some came up cheap second hand on here only covering a small amount of milage so bought them and replaced the faulty one and all was fine. Now over the last week I have felt the same harsh ride again that I had...

Trying to change a track rod end on a 182, managed to get the nut from the hub off but there is no way the nut on the track rod is coming off, tried soaking it, tried a heat gun (all we have) to help. Got spanners, hammers, mole grips and it's not shifting. Although we have applied heat do you...
