Hi
I had a 53 plate 172 a few years ago and loved it. Currently have an 03 MR2 Roadster but now looking to part ex it against a 182.
What price should I be looking at? - I want one that has had the belts changed, FSH and as low milage as possible. I was looking at approx £3500 - is this...
My exhaust has started blowing really badly today so needs replacing. I have not had chance to get underneath but sounds like its coming from the back box.
Can someone tell me how a 53 plate 172 standard exhaust is put together (is it a 3 piece etc) and roughly the cost of replacing the...
Whats a good price for the following all fitted:-
-Front brake pads
-Rear brake pads
-Front brake discs
-Obviously brake fluid bleeding/replacing
All standard-not uprated.
Thanks
Hi
I have a 53 plate 172 which has done 33k. It's last service was on 22k and I need it doing in next 2 weeks (as am off work).
I have emailed RS Tuning in Leeds but had no reply so wondering if anyone knows anywhere decent in Yorkshire. I also need the Aux belt replacing/brakes checking...
HAs anyone else had problems with their SKY Plus Box?
Ours went out of warrenty last Jan and suprise suprise the box f**ked up a week later (after Sky had called us asking if we wanted extra warrenty!).
Anyway, after numerous phone calls they sent an engineer who replaced the box with a...
Hi recently changed from a set of 4 worn Continental tyres. I made the mistake of trying to save some cash so bought 4 new Hancooks (£280).
I am unhappy with the grip these provide and wondered if I would feel the difference if I just swapped the front ones with some quality rubber such as...
I am possibly thinking of selling my 172 and wondered how much £ I might get:-
Its on a 53 plate in Monaco blue
Has done 30k
FSH
Totally standard except for a K&N panel filter
4 new tyres 2 weeks ago
Mint condition
10 months MOT
I will get it fully serviced
Any ideas?..I paid £7k for it 3...
My 172 is due a service and I've decided to do it myself. I was just wondering how far you go when it comes to servicing (ie what exactly you do). It will be the cars 3rd service and has just done 30k (last service was in Jan at 22k).
I was thinking flushing oil and replacing with Mobile 1...
HANKOOK not HANCOOK..sorry
What are these tyres like as just been offered some new one at a good price?
I know they won't be as good as Dunlop/Michelin etc but does anyone know what they are like?
I have had my 53 plate 172 for a couple of months now and don't drive it hard. I am paranoid about engine noise at the best of times but noticed yesterday that all of a sudden the top end of the engine sounds slightly rattly/tappety. It only has 29500 miles on the clock (with full service...
Hi
I need 4 new tyres - 195/45/16 for my 172 and want to know if anyone knows a place that is doing deals?
I was thinking of Pirelli P Zero..What do you reckon?
I was looking at about £65 per corner if poss.
Could someone tell me what a remap is/does?
Also please explain how to/what resetting the ECU does?
I am fitting a K&N panel filter this week and taking the acoustic valve out from the end of the standard CAF. My idle is lumpy and when stood still I am getting a kind of popping from what...
I have heard a few comments flying about about resetting your ECU by disconnecting the battery for 30 mins. What exactly does this do?
I am curious as my idle is not very stable and seems quite low. Would resetting the ECU sort this?
Any nasty side affects to be aware of?
Does anyone know a decent web site where I can order a K&N panel filter from?..I am looking to get it delivered within a few days..Can anyone recommend a company please?
Hi
I am fitting a K&N element in the original airbox. I am also going to remove the acoustic valve. My question is - do i remove all the existing cold air feed from the valve right upto the airbox and replace this with a better one?.If so, does the diameter of the pipe matter?.Also does the...
How strong is the 172 ph2 engine and gearbox?
The reason I ask is that I rarely rev it over 4500rpm. I have heard that there is a green light for changing gear - whats that about?
If I drove my 172 (mine has 29k on the clock) up to 5500rpm in each gear all the time would it knacker the...
Are the K&N Gen2 kits any good?
Is the air duct easy to fit or do you have to take the wheel arch lining out?
I am not bothered about power gains mainly noise and looks.
Thanks
I am in West Yorkshire and want to know where I can go and buy a closed induction kit "off the shelf" rather than have it posted?
Looking for either BMC, Simota, K&N Apollo or Pipercross Viper.
Do they do all 4 of these for a 53 plate 172?
Which is easiest to fit?
I am wanitng a closed induction kit and need some help.
Do I buy a Pipercross Viper, K&N Apollo, BMC or Simota?
Do K&N do the "Typoon" for a 53 plate 172?
I want noise AND also power.
I hear the Apollo loses power.
Tell me of your experiences please.
Thanks
