I have a 52 plate 172 cup with 104,500 miles It's running sweet as a nut now after a recent dodgy patch. Mostly motorway driving, but is this the highest mileage cup out there? Daz

I bought a stealth 1 off the bay recently, but it hasnt come with any fittings, only the hanging brackets welded to the back box and centre section. Does anybody have any pics to show me what I need? I'm quite handy so I could knock / weld something together if I know what it should look...

I have just bought a k tec stealth secondhand. Wondered if I need a gasket to fit it to the cat on the diamond shape flange or does it butt up? Also what size is the clamp to fit the back box onto the middle section 60mm? Cheers, Daz

The standard backbox has slipped around on my 172 cup again so it keeps hitting the floorpan. I have tightened it up about half a dozen times but it still keeps slipping. The trouble is the back box and centre section where they join over the rear beam, are the same diam pipe. They butt up to...

I have a humming/whirring noise when I turn right. It sounds exactly like a front wheel bearing. I replaced all 4 bearings the other day just for good measure and the noise is still there. Checked the CV boots and refilled filled with grease. No different. Any ideas? Sounds awful as its...

Is the colour Arctic blue on the 182 the same as my 172 cup which could be Mondial blue isnt it ?? Cheers, Darren

My cup has developed a problem with its alarm. The immobiliser seems to work fine, but when I use the remote to unlock it and deactivate the alarm, as soon as I open the door the alarm goes off. I can only shut it up then by closing the door and locking it again. Tried locking / unlocking...

As above really, 172 cup! Cheers, Daz

Came to start car tonight after work and it was dead, like a totally flat battery. I had just moved it 500yds to the shop first though, came to restart it and nothing. Seemed ok until then. Got the jump leads on and it was reluctant to start at all, then tried it again and it zipped into life...

I have a bit of a problem here. Phoned my local motor factors for new handbrake cables and they got me them in. Unfortunately they were too short. We have tried 3 on the car now and they are all too short. I ruined the others removing them, so I'm now avoiding parking on hills. Adjuster is...

Just had my cup tracked up, but Kwik fit only had settings for the 172 FF. As the cup has a slightly wider track, are the settings still the same? If not..Anybody know what they should be as it doesn't feel quite right at the mo. Cheers, Daz

Saw a guide on how to change front wheel bearings on here with plenty of photos. Anybody know where it is? Cheers, Daz

I have a slight vibration that feels as though my wheels are out of balance at around 80mph. They definately aren't imbalanced (or buckled) as it did this on my last set of tyres too. Have swapped them about, replaced the brake discs (and pads). Just bought 4 new tyres (Yok Paradas) and its...
