So little fault has just started happening. My stop light and oil warning light are flickering on and off.
The engine sounds no different at all and it is not lumpy or anything. Every time I rev the engine the light goes off and when I hold revs it comes on. Also neither light is on when I...
Monaco blue 172 parked in the f1 camping site over the last 4 days my phase 1 was parked on the next row down.
Did you manage to get out of the field after the rain???
Sorry if this has been asked tons of times before but I can't find a definitive answer.
My oz f1 alloy wheels on my phase 1 172 are fucked so I need some new wheels, I found some I like but don't understand all the et/offset/pcd

4x100 pcd

So my passanger rear wheel has started rubbing on the arch liner for some reason, I've jacked the car up and checked for wheel wobble to test for a damaged bearing and there is no play.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and what they did to rectify it?? Or what could cause...
Just got back from the local halfords(Harlow) picked up 2 of the super brilliant high performance bulbs as the bulb had gone on phase 1 172. They should of been £19.99 each on a buy one get one free but when I got to the checkout to pay for them they went through as a pound each .... Not sure if...
I'm in the process of refitting standard suspension back in my phase 1 172 and I'm sure something it missing. Top mount and the top of the shock is all there but is there not a rubber thing that sits on the bottom of the shock almost like a guide/housing for the spring to sit in??
If someone...
Quick question what size u clamps do you need for a standard phase 1 172 exhaust and also what size bolts are needed to join the cat and midsection together ?
I wondered if anyone could point me in the direction of what sensors are where on the engine and what they do? Trying to sort out an issue with my phase 172 but would like to no more on what does what

i have pulled a ht lead off 1 at a time whilst running and this makes a change to the way the engine runs so I know there is nothing wrong with the coil pack, leads, injectors from what I gather.

Quick question my phase 1 172 door strips are faded to hell and I want to get them look like factory fresh items.
So I'm thinking of rattle canning them, but what colour have you sprayed them to keep them as oem as possible

Engine rebuild

injectors

Random question but does anyone know if the standard headunit in a 1.2 MTV edition was of better quality than the phase 1 172 standard headunit. Reason I'm asking is that I'm burrowing someone's MTV edition clio and the sound quality sounds is much better (crisper, clearer, louder) than my 172...
Quick question if the car is running I.e idle and you unplug the icv what should happen? Not sure if mine is working 100% after reading this thread, seems to idle a little rough, but this thread says it can cause a hesitation/missfire at all rpm. Which I'm struggling with as well as backfiring...
Has anyone ever had a damaged cat causing an acceleration issue? I've had a hesitation on acceleration which then results in a large pop/bang from the exhaust, and then my 172 will accelerate as normal once I put my foot flat on the floor.
the cat also is popping like its a decat.
how do you...
