Hi Guys, I have had a search on here, but want to double check what i've found. Is it correct that the 172 cups do not have removable fuel filters? Only one built into the tank? And this needs changing at 150K Just that I ordered one from Opi thinking it had one... Thanks

Im wondering if anyone can sort me out? I cant seem to find where the ignition switch is? I have taken the top half of the casing off from where the steering wheel is and I cant seem to see anything like the part I have! Underneath the bottom half of the plastic looks empty! Can anyone...

I take it that all you need to do is take the casing off from around the steering wheel and it's straight in front of you? Just needs unplugging and new one putting in? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I need a new ignition switch for my 172 cup. Will any ignition switch fit from a mark 2? Or does it have to be from a sport model? Also how much will I be looking to pay for this! Had a quote but it seems very expensive! Thanks in advance :)

If I lock my car using the key rather than the certral locking. Does it still enable the immobilzer? Or does this only come on when you use the central locking? Thanks

Can this cause anything to happen? Some told me your ECU will lock you out. I want to leave my battery off the car for a few days. Is it safe to do this? Thanks!

About a month ago I had a problem where my when I tryed to start my car all ignition lights came on and so on, but when you went to turn it over, it just made a "machine gun" type noise. Basicaly put a new starter on, cleaned and replaced the wiring and in the end it turned out to be the...

Who is it I keep passing each morning? Its a silver 172 with a private plate? I have been passing you for a year either going through the main road in Weaverham or further up near Hartford? Ta

Do you twist these in as far as they go, then pump, start engine and pump again and then pull up the hand brake last? I have fitted new disks and pads, but there doesnt seem like the back brakes are any better, nor is the hand brake any better. Could these become seized and not come out as...

Hi all, A few weeks ago I went out in the morning to start my car from cold and all I got was a fast clicking noise, as though the starter motor had gone. After a few turn it’s eventually started up. The car was fine for a week or so, but it did it again, so I bought a starter motor from...

Going up cow s**t corner! Green valver with lime green wheels. Anyone on here?

Hi everyone, Do KTec not sell the KTec coilover kits anymore? Im not too sure what they were called but they were doing a deal where you could get the solid top mounts half price if you bought the kit? Secondly how do these compare to the Raceland kits? As these seem too cheap to be true...

I was waiting to pull out at a junction in a blue 172 cup.

Is this any different to the others? Will any Clio sport starter motor fit? Is it only the non sport ones which wont? Cheers

Hi, Just been doing a bit of work on my car and decided to have a play with the new fault reader the garage has bought. It came back with this "High speed engine coolant fan circuit present - open circuit" I was told that this would stop the fan from coming on. Although I've owned it for a...

Dear All, Fitted new disks and pads all round on my Cup and bled each corner of the car. I took my car in for it's MOT the next week and it passed but got an advisory on the rear brakes saying there wasn't enough effort coming from them... The hand brake could do with being tightened...

I'm getting my wheels sprayed anthracite. I know this is going to sound stupid, but is anthracite, anthracite, or are there different shades of it? I want my wheels the same colour as these are below. I have mailed Grant7 as this is his car. Hope I was ok to use this picture! Can anyone...

Hi everyone, What does everyone think about the Ktec coilover kits? How would you compare them against some of the "better" kits such as H and R? Are these much of an improvement over the stand Cup suspension? Is it much stiffer than the standard suspension? What mm would be best to...

What does everyone think of these? Are they as good as the Ktec ones? As in power increase and torque increase? Thanks

Dear All, I have had a nail in my tire which is too close to the edge to fix. So I’m going to have to buy a brand new one. The tire is a Continental Contisport Contact 195 45 r16 80v. Are there any good websites people use on here to buy cheap tires? The cheapest I can get one for is £70! Thanks

Hey Guys, Im intrested in either getting my Turinis refurbed or getting some light weight steel wheels, similar to the 106 Rallye ones... Does anyone know any decent places in the North West that refurb wheels at good rates. Or does anyone know if it's possible to get any of these Rallye...

Just a couple of questions before I commit to buying one please! 1) Did people notice their car using up a lot more petrol than before having the exhaust on? 2) How much louder is the supersport system to the normal system? I want this one as its £50 cheaper lol, plus Im not really to...

Has anyone got the name or colour code of the 172 cup (blue) and the colour code for the silver Tourines (sorry can't spell). Thanks
