Sorry to revive this old post. Can anyone advise me what to do with regards to leveling the headlights. Obviously the xenons are auto adjusting but this won't work on the cup/poverty spec headlights that I plan to fit so how would I get around this. Would they just be non adjustable?

Can anyone tell me 100% if it is just plug & play to swap from 172 xenon's to the standard headlight units as found on Cup's or 1.2's etc? I'd rather not do it if there is any complicated wiring. My xenon's are permanently clouded up on the inside (not condensation) so I have no way of repairing...

Ok thanks for that Really didn't know that the colour surround changed. Good job I checked otherwise would have an odd pair. Cheers

Am i right in thinking that the Xenon's on 172's & 182's are identical colour wise or are there different variants? Have seen some for sale listed as grey and some as black. I thought they all had grey surrounds?

Whenever I turn the car on or off I get a clunk/knocking noise. It sounds like its coming from the rear of the engine. Possibly the exhaust hitting the subframe?? Would that be an engine mount or the dog-bone mount in your opinion? Have got no access to a ramp to find out myself. Thanks in advance.

Stunning and sounded pretty good too

My headlights have gone cloudy / faded but on the inside of the lens at the bottom, not the usual place at the top on the outside - saw to that last year with some wet & dry. It is getting to the point now where vision at night is sh1te unless on full beam so something needs to be done. Can't...

Feel like a bit of a train spotter now!

Possibly me although I have a 172 wth 182 wheels. If not me oh well, if it was cheers!

Cool, thanks for the reply. Anyone have any ideas about the knock/thud noise when pulling away slowly? That is the one that is getting on my t1ts!

Two Techs in Dartford get my vote

Hi, I'm hoping somebody on here can point me in the right direction with some noises I am getting from my 172 which have gradually got worse over the last 2 months.. I know without physically hearing the noises, it is difficult to diagnose, but could just do with some pointers to save on...

Yes £1500 seems to be going rate, maybe I would take a little less, will just see nearer the time.

I am fancying a change, will probably be in the new year but would be good to have a rough idea of what my 172 would be worth now as it stands: Monaco blue 2003 "03" 107k Cambelt, aux belt and waterpump changed at 81k Full janspeed exhaust 182 Wheels (need refurbing) 6 Months tax & test Small...

I was told at the weekend that my standard ariel was flapping around all over the place at motorway speeds and upon further inspection it is broken inside. Which "stubby" ariels do people use as a replacement? I'd rather get a smaller one anway. I have read that Ariel's from Civic's and...
