Just had a test drive in this gorgeous yellow 13 plate. £13k with 30k on the clock.
Very different to my old 172 but a very nice drive.
Hmmmmm what to do! I Think the colour is awesome!
My lass bought a Clio Extreme, early October of this year. The Garage we got it off said they'd send off the V5 and paid to tax it so we could get home. A few days ago she got a letter saying that the car cant be driven until it has had a VIC check. Surely this should have been mentioned when we...
Looking at getting my kitt replica re sprayed. It's black already and has some nasty rust spots. Can someone Reccomend someone local to Huddersfield that can do this for me and an idea of cost? It's mainly the doors, front arches, rear running lights and round the t tops :) was gonna do touch...
Well he has finally arrived, KITT was dropped off this morning to me, given him a clean and taken some photos for the start of what is going to be a long term project to make the car externally and internally an exact replica of KITT!
On inspecting the car, there is some rust issues that will...
"borrowed" this pic from another thread, thinking of makin a rep out of Laura's 1.2, could someone photoshop this so bumpers and skirts are silver and wheels white. Thanks
Our lasses car has developed an issue :( on idle it will occasionally cause the central orange light on the dash (engine electrics with the wavy line above it) to come on and the engine starts to roll and revs splutter above 1 Mark then drop. This happens for a few seconds and car judders and...
Only just noticed this problem last couple of weeks. When accelerating above 60 the needle "dithers" as though it's sorta getting stuck, and rather than a smooth motion jerks around between 60-80+. Works fine (so far) below 60? Any suggestions? Did a quick search but didn't find anything tbh...
This is probably a stupid question. I have the old standard springs from my 172 in the garage gathering dust. Would they fit straight on a standard 2002 1.2 or am I totally off the wall here? Just thought if I could find a use for em may as well stick em on the wife's!
Sorry to be a noob but oil and stop light have come on on the fiancees car, no idea why, oils fine and checked all connectors are in right and what have you..... anybody got any suggestions.......its never done it on my RS ha ha ;)
There's a horrid scraping noise, out of no where, from around the front right wheel. It only seems to happen on acceleration, up a hill and turning right. There was a loose bit of trim, but it wouldnt make such a loud scraping noise, which sounded more like metal on metal.
I got told that the...
Just when I thought I had got the berg running nice a weird noise has started, only at accelleration can you really hear it but it is still noticeable when cruising. All I can describe it as is a dry metal on metal scraping noise. Seems to come from the front I think but can't b sure. Last time...
Just a couple of random shots taken at services and the such on the way to see the illuminations - not brilliant but shows off the new splitter and sportlines - please however excuse the SHITE wheels, there waiting for a referb as they were that shagged when i bought the thing!!! need new tyres...
Here's a new one just started yesterday..... When I've been braking (say to stop at lights etc) and then set off again there is a "clunk" from the o/s front wheel, almost like the brakes are sticking a bit. Doesn't do it after deceleration only seems to do it when I've used the brakes. Any...
Just finished fitting new sportlines and taken her for a drive and the springs on the front are twisting and clunking when the wheel turns, also the top mount now seems to sit a LOT higher than before. Tried to tightnen the top mounts but not made a lot of difference?!?!? where the hell have we...
Been meaning to post this for a while, been on a track in my new iceberg and the thing just doesn't feel the same as my old Monaco :( topped out at just shy of 130 on a straight but sounded awful and was vibrating and shuddering like fook! Its just been serviced as well but seems to lack the...
Sold my beloved Monaco to get a celica, hated the celica so now in an iceberg lol. Any one on here bought it? Gorgeous car just been detailed, reg FN04 EKZ! would b good to know she has gone to a good home! Sold it in Blackburn if that helps!
My cars exhaust mounts are buggered lol got 2 shiny new ones from nwp and now just need to fit them. For some reason tho the back one that is on ATM is not standard!! How easy is it to change? Not been under to have a look yet but does anyone know what men's tools I'll need??!?! Just so I don't...
this has probs been covered b4 but iv got a nasty knocking from the front end when hitting bumps in the road and tbh the car feels ROCK hard on even the most minor of bumps :dead:
not sure where the sound is coming from but clunks and knocks and its getting worse!
Suggestions of the cause of...
Leather is a little tatty on my drivers seat, looks like a scuffed pair of shoes! Any advice on how to fix it and restore the colour and shine? Also anyone Reccomend a good upholstery cleaner cos the pass seat is rather stained too!
I'm thinking of buying this silver 172 from a garage tommorow and I'm just wondering if there's anything I should know about it in advance? I noticed a Cliosport.net sticker in the rear window on the advert so figured it must have an owner on here somewhere. Thanks in advance :)
Hiya all - had my car detailed last year by JD and was most happy, but now after some shoddy bodyshop work she needs a full correction again and sadly JD is rather busy with his day job :( anyone out there can reccomend anyone in the Yorkshire area that would be able to sort out my swirly ghosty...
Wanting to upgrade my fronts and rears from the shitty standards - dont wanna spend silly money but want a good clear and crisp sound with deep not buzzy baseline...... got a decent sony head unit in already and now just need to upgrade the speakers! Any suggestions! Clear bass and vocal and...
Been bandying this idea around now for some time.... cant decide if it would look good or look retarded and ruin the car.... has anyone done this or can anyone photoshop my pic so i can see what it would look like????
Thoughts on this much appreciated! :rasp:
Well this is being a good year so far :( had to claim for vandal damage this year which has knocked my NCB down to 2 years. Also the claim was worth over 2k :-/
Anyway im 26, work for Tui Travel, 2 years NCB, no points, 2004 clio 172 standard apart from upgrade exhaust.
