heh i had it booked with him but the mot has run out and i don't want to get done for driving without it, its an hour drive so i'm not taking the risk. So from what people are saying there isn't actually a bolt that would break causing me to have to get the cat changed?

phase 1 x reg 2000 i really don't know what i'm doing with it or where it is

so they're talking s**t to get more money from me? i have read that the sensor is an arse to get off, i don't have a drive or a lot of tools, i would just fell happier if a garage did it. But if kwik fit are trying it on they can get lost

i have taken it to kwik fit as they are the closest garage to me, they have quoted £85 for the part plus labour which shouldn't take long - not bad i thought, then the guy says there is a screw/bolt that runs through both the cat and the sensor and that in a worse case scenario this might break...

hmm not sure, this could be an issue, i don't want to pay out twice if i don't have to

I don't know which one it is, it has failed all the emissions and i got it tested at an mot-only centre so they haven't looked at it. I don't know what i'm doing when it comes to changing it myself so not that happy with doing it :S

Hi all, my ph1 172 failed its mot on emissions last week and rentech have advised changing the lambda, i live near Brighton so can't get it to them as the mot has now expired so i may have to resort to kwikfit or local garage to get it changed before the retest expires - what should i be...

no he said he wasn't sure what was causing it, its just a test centre not a garage

Just got back from the test centre, it has failed on just the emissions, all the emissions' tests though. I know this is going to be a vague question but can anyone give me an idea what this is going to cost me to fix? as in worse case scenario? trying to make the decision whether to sell...

okay well i'm taking it to get MOT'd later on today now so i'll see what the verdict is first! cheers

sorry rentech have listed the faults when servicing not the dealer (a seperate guy)

Hi guys sorry if this is in the wrong section i did look but don't think it belongs in the selling thread. Basically i'm selling my ph1 172, i am going travelling soon and need the cash. The mot runs out today and i'm looking to see what people think i would be able to get for it without it...

Parked next to my silver 172 with uprated exhaust at the bottom churchill square car park next to the odeon 2 weeks ago. Must have been a supporter of the cause as there were loads of other spaces! Either the same or similar 172 driving up Lewes road onto A27 last Thursday around 7:00 I was...

cheers guys, it looks like i should have done some looking into this before hand - live and learn i guess. I chased the Ren mech this morning and he said he had sent the head away to get 4 of the valves replaced (not sure where he sent them Ren-Tech? :D ) and recieved it this morning so would be...

Thanks mate ill look them up, any idea on what replacing it will cost?
