Hi, Recently when I open the door my interior LED light isn't as bright as it should be, then randomly other times it is. Is there any reason for this? It's as though the light isn't getting the voltage it should be! Thanks

I've just been out in the car today and for some reason the ABS sometimes randomly cuts in at low speeds ie. under 15mph! Is there any reason it would be doing this?? There are no ABS lights or anything on the dash, the only thing I know of is that the discs are worn and need replacing...

Hi, It looks like my rack will need replacing all because it has a leak from one of the seals :( Citren seem pretty cheap at around £50 for the rack (not sure how much for delivery) So it will just be fitting costs. Does anyone know if the subframe will need to be dropped or can it be done...

There is a leak that is getting a lot worse that's coming from the powersteering.. It looks like it's coming from near the steering rack so i'm assuming it's the high pressure hose. I've been told this is silly money to fix, are there any other solutions to fix it as i'm not paying £180 for a...

Ok, I have some weird issues with the clio. 1) Sometimes the fog light dims on the dash when I brake 2) When my indicators are on the dimmer on my cd player flashes in sync! 3) When I press the brake the dimmer also comes on the cd player! Any clues? The rear clusters seem fine! cheers.

Hi chaps, my 172 has developed a leak in the PS system somewhere that looks like it's coming from the drivers side (as the drivers side undertray is soaked. Anyone know which pipe this may be? From the engine bay I can't see any leaks from the pipe that goes from the pump under the airbox...

Hi, I've searched the forums and it seems split between top mounts and CV joints. I'll try and explain it a bit more so that it might be a bit easier to diagnose. Basically every morning when I leave the drive on full lock there's a banging from the n/s/f area, and it feels like something it...

Mine and a mates clio taken today :)

I was the other flame red :D

Been trying to sort this out for aaaages now, i'm buying a CTS for it tomorrow, and i've also tested the MAP sensor which is fine. Basically at low revs when holiding on the throttle (worse in 1st gear) it will kangaroo bad at certain intervals! It does it when the revs are around 1000-1500...

I was cleaning my CPS and noticed this on the CTS.. Is that green wire supposed to be cut? Cheers.

Hi i've noticed one of my led's was out when a mate was driving my car, and it's annoying. Is it possible to change this or does it all have to go?

Hi, I've noticed a whine from the 172 when i'm holding the revs @ 4k+ any idea what this could be? I'm a bit worried it could be something serious developing. The oil is ok and the belts were done with tensioners about 15k ago. The car drives normally, the power is ok and it only happens...

Reason i'm asking is because if say i'm in 1st gear and rev to say 3k and let the revs drop (while still in gear) when it gets to 1100 rpm the car jolts before it settles, it does the same in 2nd too but less noticeable in 3rd presumably due to the sensitivity of 1st and 2nd.. This makes...

Gave it a little clean today :D Going for a sprinted drive later ;)

Hi, just wondering this as my 172 is being a bit sluggish lately on partial throttle and the idle is wandering a bit.. Theres no airleaks and the TB has been cleaned and isn't very old. Just wondering if there are any common sensors you can clean up or check? There are no faults reading...

Started a few threads recently about an annoying water leak that I couldn't really see, anyway I decided to stop dawdling and get to work. I had never taken off the bumper off before and didn't realise you had to pull quite hard on the bumper to separate it away from the wing. Also I was...

Hi is this a bumper off job or not? Reading some mixed posts. Will removing: The slam panel Fuel Rail Guard Airbox make it accesible? Also is anything else worth changing while all this is out? Eg oil? Thanks chaps.

Hi i noticed the other day my car is sometimes a bit jumpy on low throttle, it may hesitate for a slipt second at say 30mph in 4th if i apply a small amount of throttle. So It was on the drive yesterday and i lightly pressed the accelerator and the revs went up to about 2k then it went down...

After washing the car last night i noticed that the passenger door wasn't totally flush at the top compared to the drivers side. I inspected the frame and couldn't see any evidence of bending etc.. It's very minor but it will annoy me, could a bodyshop sort this out easily? thanks.

Hi, is this possible on the 172? Bought a new exhaust mount just last month and already the exhaust is sagging a little, how can you stop this as it looks rubbish when it's not flush against the bumper!

Hi, got 2 current niggles on the 172. 1) In a morning when I full lock out of the drive it will clunk, clunk, clunk it's way round, kind of jolts the car? This seems to dissapear or not become as apparant when warm? Is this likely to be the CV Joint (as I doubt it's the strut tops). 2)...

Hi, Some scum broke into my locker at the gym today and nicked my keys, keyfob, wallet etc. I had to use the spare keys and fob to get back in but as my wallet had my drivers license in is it possible to recode my keyfob so the other one wont work? So annoyed right now, you can't have...

Quick question, is the above normal? As with my foot flat to the floor it's reading 78% and no more, common sense says it should be closer to 100? thanks.

just received the map off Henk and loaded it on, very easy to use interface. Just left the laptop on in the car and let it do it's thing (make sure your lappy doesnt hibernate or standby!). Got back to it (i'll admit I wasn't expecting that much) but wow!! It's the low down torque that's...

Just plugged the RSTuner in and these errors came up: Brake Pedal (memory) Shift Light (memory) but the one that's worrying me is: Electronic Throttle Control Limits Reached (present) Any one knows what that means? I was expecting a lambda error code as my emissions light is on due...

started a thread like this a few weeks back but got a couple of updates: Been having a weird problem with the gearbox on my 172, basically 4th gear doesn't feel right! It goes in, doesn't make any noises or pop out or anything but it just doesn't 'click' in like it should. It kind of drags in...

Hi, recently i've noticed my 4th gear feels a bit .. strange. It's hard to explain, the other gears click right in but 4th seems to 'drag' a bit. It goes in with no noises or anything and stays in fine but feels weird. What could it be? My clutch is fine and I make sure my foot is...

Hi how hard is this on the 172? I want to remove it tomorrow and run the engine to see if I can I identify the source of the leak a bit more clearly. Cheers. Edit: Is the 172 rad different to other mkII rads?
