^^^^^phew its not just me being a dullard^^^^ ;)

@lot, oh yes my pants nearly changed colour at least once! Torque steer is annoying, it was on here a while ago that changing the tyres can help, as the contis have really stiff sidewalls, but its expensive to just try. [Edited by fozzy on 11 June 2004 at 12:25am]

All of them pull to one side or other when u put ur foot down, dependent on the road surface. I live in norwich and ive nearly chucked myself off the road, or gone into the person im trying to overtake a few times. Just make sure your actually holding the wheel, and your not do-ing the boy...

South shields for me, but work away most of the time

Ive only had 2 moments when ive had all the wheels locked up, and it was my fault for pushing too hard, abs would have helped but just pump your brake pedal and dont flap!! Oh and change underwear when you get home.... ;)

Ring the guy, get the reg no. and get the car hpid.

my fault, Left of the air box, right of the manifold and attached to it.

Yes it seems to be coming from the black thing thats just to the right of the air box and to the left of the manifold. Also found that if i press the milo trip button when "oil check" is on i get a load of 0s above oil check then the milometer comes on??

High pitched, is there as soon as i turn the key. when i start the car it disappears or I cant hear it anymore.

When I switch my ignition on (engine not started) im getting a high pitch whine from the engine bay, also my speedo is locked on milometer can not change it. car starts fine, its only just happened. helllllllllllllllllp

Cheers Jay, will pass that on, probably over the phone as he aint to happy at the mo!!

Its for my mate, he has a 1.4 and his rear o/s brake lining has fused to the drum, its gonna cost £400 to bo done by reno, as they mailto:f@@ked">f@@ked the bearing taking it off aswell! Have heard rumours that this is a known problem by reno, and there is a mod out, is there any truth in...

why you buying a 172 then ;)

Go to reno with the reg no and chassis no. and get them to pull the history of the car, if anythings been done by a reno dealer it will be on there.

Mine has started doing the exact same thing!! Noticed it at crimbo when I went home, and when I came back to work (6hr drive each way). Havent drove the car on any distance since. Keep us posted when you take it in pls. cups are great, just they need more tlc than most others...

Mine is lumpy at idle too, have heard that having ecu reprogramed can help if its really bad.

gutted mate, friend of mine lost his yesterday, some t*t half over the center line took it clean off, didnt stop either.. Tos*ers

Is it the reg vardy next to the bowling alley? If it is they are BRILLIANT!!! :o Ive had mine there twice, both short notice jobs, been V impressed with them, I work away, but im gonna try and use them all the time.(providing the car dont rattle itself apart by then!)

Ive had a clunking sound from the front right, when im on full lock at slow speeds, thought it was nowt, anyhow got sick & took it to reno. Turns out my top suspension mount was loose!! (handling feels even better now! didnt think it was bad before :oops:) Ive already had an engine mount...

count me in

Not too bad in the wet, found 1st is useless though. Had a moment in the snow, pulled out of a junction turned right, started to turn, then the mother went straight on into a curb!! I was only going slow as well, my front alloy needs refurbishing now. Gutted

poo! Sounds like a pain, cheers jay

My passenger side front seat tilt cable is about to snap, havent been to reno yet, but has anyone changed one or had it done? If so is it hard/easy, expensive??

Try pushing down on the top of the dash at the passenger side, it could be stuck on the airbag frame. (You have taken the plastic pillar covers off?)

What does everyone reckon for the back? dont fancy 6x9s, and cant get a regular sub for the boot (need the space), has anyone done any mods for the back to make room for 15s or 17s? Got infinitys in the front with a sony hu.

it is a powered sub, brun. It is a space saver type, that goes under the seat etc.. Decided its pap, going back tomorrow.

Again ^^^^ if it is be careful not to damage the top edges of the dash against the door pillar (speaking from experience:()

PMSL - sorry mate

just spent 1 1/2 hrs in the pi**ing rain playing with the crossover & gain sounds better, but I reckon it may be going back tomorrow. Not V impressed and wet! :(

Does anyone have any views/experience with this, just bought one and im abit unsure about the quality.
