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

When they have written "ignition switch", do you think they were refering to the barrel as well? Because I have ordered an "ignition switch" and its just the wiring that attaches to the back as far as I can gather! Cheers!

Because its faulty. My car was having trouble starting up. And they only cleaned up the ignition switch and said it may need a new one again soon. And now its doing the same thing again!

The Ignition switch. From looking at pictures, the part I have, clips in the back of the barrel and then plugs in somewhere! Just wondering if it is defo at the back on the barrel. Cheers

Looks like I need to take the barrel out and plug it in the back?

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...

Could any one help please?

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.

pfff got quoted £175 pound for one on trade! Just found one on the internet for £15! Cheers

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 :)

Can anyone help with this?

I have now been told by a mechanic that it could be the imobiliser. But my uncle who is also a mechanic told me that this could have been the case 10 years ago, but highly unlikely with more modern cars. He's taking it to a place in Winsford he uses all the time called Atlantic Performance. He...

Ah cheers mate! Thanks for that :)

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!
