Hi all, I got sent on a SAC in October 2012, from memory it was a 35 in a 30 - bad day at work forgot there was a speed camera at the bottom of the hill. Admiral (who I'm currently insured with) have it on my renewal document that I went on a SAC, like this on the document: Date Code Points...

So, I finally got rid of my 172 - I had it for 3 years and basically it'd gotten the point where I got fed up of fixing it every two minutes. Decided to get something on PCP this time as there were some good deals around, I'm also in the process of moving into the city centre of Nottingham so I...

Hi all, Anyone know if a head from a K4J 712 will fit on the K4J 780? My girlfriend's Mk.3 water pump shat the bed the other day and caused the timing belt to snap. My Dad has offered the head off my Mum's old 2005 plate Mk.2 1.4 16v to get it going. Wondered if I could just swap the head over...

Hi all, I've searched and read all the threads I can find on this topic, but most of them end with no solution being offered and the original poster doesn't come back! This is the issue I have: Any ideas? It passed it's MOT about three weeks ago without any issues what-so-ever and had two...

Hi all, Did a service on my 172 yesterday, replaced the oil, filter, air filter, cabin filter, ABS ring that was cracked, both ball joints, both track-rod ends, front discs and pads, a new CV boot and finally a new rear wiper. This morning on my way to work she has developed a very lumpy idle...

Right, a few months back when I first got the car I took the bumper off and inserted the one way values in that everyone uses. This morning I got in the car to go to work and the lights came on (it was still slightly dark), there was some tree sap on the screen so I cleared it. I heard the xenon...

I've contacted Apple about this and I'm still awaiting their response. I've had to reset my Apple ID password four times in the past 17 hours, every time I get logged in a few hours later I can't log in and it tries to make me reset my password. I synced my Apple ID with the new iCloud service...

Have you seen this? http://code.google.com/p/corsix-th/ Theme Hospital being remade, it's Open Source too. And will run on a Mac. Just think of it like OpenTTD for Theme Hospital. Enjoy.

Hi folks, got a strange one. My climate control on my 172 has a damp and fusty smell coming from it. It started after I changed the washer pump for my windscreen. I've tried using one if those air conditioning disinfectant things and it did nothing. The smell goes away when I use recirculate...

Hi guys, I did a bit of work on the 172 this evening. I replaced the thermostat (car wasn't warming as fast as my mates 172) and cleaned the throttle body out, it was full of muck and causing the car to have a little bit of a lumpy idle. I also fitted a new dog bone mount and moved/retightened...

Was visiting my parents after cleaning and AG Aqua Waxing the Flamer. Pics!

I like it! Applied it a week ago after a wash, a clay bar then a polish with SRP. A few days later I jet washed some dust and dead flies off. Today in the work car park it's beading like this.

It's my 4th Clio after a Mk2 Ph1 1.2 8v Grande, a Mk2 Ph1 1.4 16v Si and a Mk2 Ph2 1.4 16v Expression. I went from a 206 GTi to this, miles better to be honest. She's done 38,000 miles and has a full service history. Got a feeling the dog mount is on it's way out though, but that is an easy...

I only bought my 172 last week and I've been doing a few bits here and there to tidy up, currently sorting a few stone chips out and just replaced my filthy pollen filter. Another thing that is annoying me is how loud the exhaust is, it isn't leaking either. Does anyone recognize it?

Righty-ho. About three weeks ago I had my car serviced, on the service they picked up that I had two cracked springs on the front. More about that later. I was driving back from ASDA at the Trafford Centre about two weeks ago and I hit a pot-hole, when I did it broke the lower engine mount...

I've got two rear shockers on the way out on my Clio Si (X Reg'ed 2000) and I was looking at just throwing caution to the wind and lowering the thing slightly. I've always been uphappy with the big wheel arches, but I like the 14 inch wheels that the car has, they suit it really well. I was...

Hey there, I'm new here so I thought I might introduce myself and my little 1.4 hairdrier ;). So there's my student mobile, can't afford anything else at the mo! lol And I know what you're thinking, the sport badge is on the wrong side, I know, I did that on purpose. :rasp:
