    loud whining noise when cold- goes away when clutch pedal is pressed. What is it?

    As above really. When driving and the car is in gear i get a whining noise which I have to be honest is pretty loud. After about a half hour the noise dispapears. It also dispappears when the clutch pedal is pressed. Any guesses as to what it is? clutch release bearing maybe?

    Rear exhaust mount bolt loose- stripped thread.

    Anyone know the size of the bolts that hold the mount in place? I've either stripped the thread on the bolt or the body. Hope it's the bolt. If I've stripped it off the body anyone had this happen before? How did you fix?

    The story begins........ I bought this black 172 about two years ago. Not knowing a lot about these cars other than they are as fast to 60 as an S3. My trusty vw bora was suffering head gasket failure and was going to require a new engine. So weighing up the cost of a new lump vs...
