Yeah first meet ive been on didn't expect people to have a proper drive really enjoyed it. Dragged my cousin and his friends along so I didn't turn up on my own and saw you lot all on yourselves. Schoolboy error
My exhausts hangers have dos integrated today and won't have time to sort them but still coming. Apologies in advance for whoever drives behind me, you will have an awful view , looks toss
Thanks. I'm a bike mechanic by trade so sort of knew what to do but cars are so different and awkward in my opinion haha.
Right if you pop the bonnet and look at the black plastic scuttle panel at the bottom of the windscreen on the drivers side. You can actually grab hold of it and pull it up...
Forgot to mention anyone with bad inside steamy windows and condensation check the cabin filter. Here's mine that came out on Saturday..,
Put new one in and not had any issues since.
So I bought my ph2 172 for 850 quid on eBay. Had 84000 on the clock and had just had new dephaser and six belt. A little tatty here and there with an aparantly noisy drive shaft, anyways fancied a project so handed over the cash and drove it from Scarborough to my he on sheffield. Here's a...
Hers the pic, not the best but always seem busy when it's light. Not improved any cosmetics yet so a little rough around the edges in terms of appearance
Yeah I have been taking pictures kinda as I've been going along the way. Just couldn't work out how to upload them. Downloaded tapatalk so when I get some time this weekend I'll start a thread. It's my first French car, always had japanese then come form an Audi TT to this, easy to work on I...
172 phase 2. I bought it about 5 weeks ago with a hole in the gearbox, diff had blown through. The entire car was mechanically pretty bad so just been going through everything like mounts, suspension etc etc. keeps developing problems but I don't mind all that much as engine is sweet and low...
No will check first thing. Been thinking about refreshing it with some motul 660 so if it's low got myself a job for the afternoon. Started whining pretty bad wen turning too so might change the power steering fluid whilst I'm at it
I know theae many threads on this but my Serv esp and abs lights are on for a few days even when turn ignition off back on etc then they can be off for a few hours then back on etc. adjusted brake pedal switch. Seemed to work for a day and now back to intermittent. Can a sensor be intermittent...
finally got my 172 on the road this week since buying it as a project a month ago, driving down the road and a huge hate ran straight under the front breaking the underside of the bumper where it goes to ye sub frame and ripping inner right arch out! B*****d
Such an improvement!!! Anyone who has a dangerously bad handling car and reads on here that it's a rear shocker believe it! One of my rear ahocks was like a pogo stick, decided to reace them all with cup ones and for cook sports, car was already lowered but just drives like a different car...
car has idled rough since I bought it a month ago, had been sat as getting it ready for some track days. Today I toom it for a run and ran out of petrol, filled it up and now when hodling a constant speed or very little throttle input in any gear at any rpm it has a real slight misfire / judder...
bought cook sports and cup shocks. Bought car with adjustable rears with the lower threaded cup. If I fit new is without the lower rubbers between spring and beam what will the negatives be?
Thanks
no what he means is this...
leave the car on the jack / axle stands how you have it. then remove the lever / handle from the jack to use it as a bar, or if you have a large pry bar get it in your hand. then use it as a lever between the wishbone and anti roll bar and push down hard on the bar...
After Mitch thought and listening to others I've just orderred cook sports and cup shocks all round. Although could have paid about 170 more and got gaz but too many mixed reviews. Only just bought my 172 a month ago as bit of a project, got it on the road today and it handles apaulingly , feels...
