can anyone explain how the grinding goes away as the car heats up?? :S

sigh, worn synchros, no quick fix there right? :dapprove:

I drive a MK1 172, has about 114 000km on the clock, the last month or so there is quite a distinctive grind when changing from 2nd to 3rd gear, but sort of mellows down as the car warms up, and when driven for a while it just about goes away and 2nd to 3rd changes smoothly again, any ideas? :S...

thanks a lot Evoo, i've pm'ed clarkie, i take it he fitted new front stock replacement shocks in your car? cos that's what im really after..:)

sorry my bad..

not sure i would be able to do that, is there any other shocks that would be a direct replacement for my stock shocks? maybe even better at round about the same price?

would they fit my mk1 172 though? and what is your price?

how about swapping the rear shocks with the worn out front shocks on a mk1 172?? well until stock is available for replacements here in SA?

Hi i'm looking to get rid of the boring solid red rear lights and replace it with the newer mk2 rear lights, is it just a straight swap, should I be able to get it from any clio, say for instance a normal 1.2 or 1.4? :approve:
