Bonnet and wing need painting due to stone chips and someone reversing into them, leaving the wing scratched a bit at the bottom.

Exhaust needs lining up better after fixing hangers and not being 100% anyway.

172 needs both rear wheel bearings + discs and pads and abs rings.Heater module pack is goosed so the heating is on full power.Buckled alloy wheelSmashed foglight with smashed bulbNo sidelightsScuffed front and rear bumpersEngine mounts are shaggedAir con radiator thing is held up by cable ties as the holes for the bolts have worn away.Front brakes are 75% worn according to renault.Stop and the (!) Light flash randomly...Think that's about it, but on the plus side, all belts and dephaser were done less thank 1500 miles ago and its running prettyw sweet!

Easy fix, take the clusters out and clean off the rust thats built up and make the connections tighter :) Simples.
 
  172 Cup
The wheels on the cup are looking abit shabby but are due for a refurb next month :)

It needs a good detail & machine polish.

Windscreen washer level warning is always on and I'm not convinced the tyre pressure monitoring system works. I might not be resetting it correctly though so we'll not count that one, yet.

I dont know for certain tbh. When the car is ticking over i can hear a whirring noise which changes pitch when i move the steering wheel
Sounds normal, unless it sounds like its grinding bolts or something!!

having smugly looked at this yesterday thinking nothing! today my steering rack is making a crunch/squeal on full lock and feels like it is skidding from the drivers side :(

No its just whirring, similar to how the new mini sounds.

It might be ok, could do with listening to someone elses rs i think but i cant remember noticing it before

I had my PAS pump replaced when i had the cam and / aux belt done couple of months back and the water pump and pulleys and tensioners etc. Thing still whirrs, quietens down after a while. I replaced the PAS pump for excessive play and the fact it was starting to leak, every 172/182 I've ever heard whirrs!

As for my 172 I do need to sort my Rear Axle bushes at some point.
 
Just checked my car pre MOT, the number plate light unit has got a pin snapped in it, so new light unit and wiring is required, typical.
