The "check emissions" light came on in my 197 the day after having my cam belts done, could this be related.
What other things might cause the light to come on? (Engine management light- "Check Emissions")
The car seems to run fine, no miss-firing or juddering.
There was a strange quite loud...

I’ve been thinking should I buy a new car like a fast BM or Audi and the thought of mega road tax and mega depreciation is putting me off.
So been thinking why not spend half that and get ITB and Sadev gearbox.
But can anyone who has used or has a Sadev give me any information on cost...
When you change rear disks there a small washer that you put on the back to stop it from fauling on the abs sensor. does it matter which way you putit on???
Ok, sometime this week I will be replacing my 1.4 beam, with one from a 172.
I know that the biggest problem will be with the ABS.
I've done some reading on how abs works.
It works along the lines that a magnetic sensor picks up the teeth on the ABS ring which changes the magnetic field of...
To remove an ABS ring use a flat blade screw driver and hammer it into the edge of the ABS ring between the disc an the ring.
Do this all the way around the ring.
Then turn the driver 90° doing this all the way around the ring.
Then do the same as above with a bigger flat blade.
I did it in...
I have acquired a 172 rear beam and brakes to go on my 172 conversion which still has drums.
Major thing was getting the right abs rings and getting them off - new one on.
Well as I already have a beam with discs, thought I’d have a practice at getting the abs rings off.
Two different size...
Ok, I’ve put the ph2 dash in my ph1, fitted fine all the major stuff works BUT.
I don’t have any lights on the heater, fan speed unit. The fan speed heater controls all work just no lights :(
Does anyone have a circuit diagram for a ph2 heater/switch control unit?
I need the circuit diagram...
Quite a few times in the last 2 months I have had people pullout on me at junctions, mainly on carriageways or national speed limit roads simply because they have misjudged the speed the little purple cars is coming towards them.
This is normally when I’m giving it some stick, but have other...

Had a lot of snow in the last week and noticed that when it fell off my bonnet that the bonnet was very clean and shinny :)
Any one else noticed this??
When It rains I get a damp/wet patch on the top corner of the A pillar by the wind screen. Any ideas what it is, could it be bad window seal??
It’s not really bad but it is there.
Seen this morn in the uni car park. Shame on you!!
Chrome number plate holder, Halfrods badge, Lexus light, unpainted spoiler, 2.0lt bullets and a massive hole cut out of the back bumper for a zaust.
The Oz F1 where your only good decision :)
OK, I want to do my rear brakes following my conversion.
My question is?
Is it possible to just change the brakes over i.e. leave the rear axle on and just change the ends where the drums are for disks and calipers?
Or is it better to change the whole axe?
P.S I am also trying to get the hand...
The driver side brake seems to make a funny "wowowo,wowowow" noise.
It's seems to be a sticking calliper but it’s not happening all the time.
Also if a turn left the sound stops.
Any ideas????
I spotted this shining example of a 182 with its very nice 17" Chrome wheels, double exit chrome exhaust, m3 style mirrors and lovely chrome go fast stripes from boot to bonet, 202bhp I think as well.
:S:S
Main question is how I remove the plastic strips on the roof.
I opened the boot and pushed them back, but they still seem to be held on.
I don’t want to brake them so didn’t pull to hard.
