Gaz's pal? Welcome mate.

 

[Gaz_H]

oops, 1st time with photobucket and seems I deleted the words, lol

it shouldve read........

Hi all, i'm Gary

Picked up the 172 last week from my mate ( Gaz85 ) on the forum, loving the 172 so far and having previoulsy owned a 2004 Pug 180 I can definitely say its a quicker / better handling car .

Found the site really useful and already had to look into a problem with my Xenons " my problem is i'm lighting up planes in the sky rather than the road " lol , tried the allen key fix but seems the motors arent working or something, not being the greatest at car DIY I've booked it in with ( Rentec Edinburgh ) to get the lights sorted and wheels re-balanced so hopefully will have some night vision soon

Couple of pics below

Welcome along, that Gary Taylors old one??

 

[The Boosh!]

Hi Gaz_H, welcome to ClioSport!

 

[Gaz_H]

aye mate I've known Gary T for ages, there's a fair few Gaz's behind the wheels of clio sports so thought I'd put my name in the ring aswell ;-)

 

[Heez]

Looks well sorted that!

 

[Gaz_H]

yeh its the 172 Gaz got in p/x when he sold his focus ST, he still has the track car but i managed to take this one off his hands

 

[JezzaMac]

Looks good bud! Rentec will sort you out - top lads down there! I will keep an eye out for you kicking around Edinburgh!

 

[Gaz_H]

I've been lucky, the guy who had it before Gaz looked after it well and I think only added the steering wheel recently, it's got the odd wee bit that i'll get looked at but for its age its in good condition, plus as ive said compared to my diesel Qashqai the clio feels like an F1 car !! lol

 

[Gaz_H]

Thanks Jezza, I dont see too many clio sports around that often so be good to catch up with you boys , there is a Trophy I see quite a bit in Edinburgh, looks like its running coilovers n stuff , not sure if he's on the forum though

 

[Gaz85]

evening G! far too many Gaz's in Scotland on here. Shall miss this car but no point having two clios doing nowt while im in aberdeen

 

[Gaz_H]

hi buddy, yeh i think the Gaz's have a bit of a clio cartel going on in scotland cheers for parting with the car I know u had plans for it

 

[Rubicon_]

That's a nice 172!

JezzaMac, that'll be you that i seen at Rentec last month then?

 

[JezzaMac]

@JezzaMac, that'll be you that i seen at Rentec last month then?

Probably was! Was down a month or 2 ago using their clip to solve an intermittent electrical fault! Always game for a chat those lads are!

 

[Djw John]

I'm guessing the height sensor on the rear axle is still disconnected like it was 18 months ago and that's why the lights are off to s**t

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Welcome!

Looks tidy pal

 

[Gaz_H]

G172 - thanks mate, I've seen great feedback for urself on the forum for brake parts so I'll make sure and keep u in mind when my own are needing done

 

[Gaz_H]

Djw John , thanks for the heads up on the height sensor, is it a relatively easy fix? I'm not the greatest at car DIY but willing to get my hands dirty and give it a try

 

[Djw John]

Yeah relatively easy to get working, if you know your way around a cable tie! Actual replacement isn't too bad from what I vaguely remember

 

[Gaz_H]

Cool , cheers for that ill have a look tomorrow " cable ties at the ready " if I can't fix it atleast it's in at Rentech next week and on there ramps it should be quite an easy fix

 

[Paul.M]

This is going to get confusing with all you gaz's, Welcome to the mad house, car looks fantastic

 

[.GAZ.]

I'm #1 GAZ!!!

 

[Gaz_H]

Lol, I reckon it'll be interesting if we all meet for a pint reckon we wld be best to use our forum names to keep it simple!!! Really like ur 182, my budget couldn't quite stretch that far though

 

[Rubicon_]

You should sell me that sabelt you probably won't like it...

 

[Gaz_H]

Lol, good try but I reckon I'll keep a hold if it Gives the car a go kart feel through the bends!!!

 

[Gaz85]

I wish the car in the same standard once I buy it back

 

[Fraser.J.]

You should sell me that sabelt you probably won't like it...

As an ornament? Iirc your car is forsale?

Welcome mate!

 

[w33 brl]

[welshname]

Love this car. Exactly how I'd have one.

Good luck with the car

 

[m0ssy]

Just found these threads with my old baby in. I was almost in tears when I sold that car! Still have the photos of it completely standard with a keyed door somewhere.

Gaz do you still own it or know where it is now?

 

[Gally]

Probably 5-6 months since Gaz bought his ST. Forgot the name of the new owner.

 

[Djw John]

It's pretty easy to remember, it's a similar name to mine but with a Dave after it! @Djw Dave has it these days but will be selling it in the near future

 

[Gally]

My memory is terrible.
