Right, the cup had its MOT failed today.
Failed for the rear brakes. He said we was only getting 33 on them, presume he means percent. Anyway, it's been stood for four months. MOT tester said it's a new caliper job. Anything i can try to improve them before i go down this route, as looking for...
Grrr. Last week i noticed a split in my CV boot. So i replaced it. And now it's split again, but worse. Grease everywhere. Last time i changed it i couldn't get the drive shaft free from the hub, so i took it out the box instead. Which meant i had to change the oil. Now i'm going to have to...

Nope engine didn't make any strange noises when driving.
Hey,
I have been to look at a 172 cup today. Took it for test a drive and it kept coming out of 3rd gear. And it was difficult to get it 3rd at high revs. I have a few friends that have 182's and trophys, so i know that they sometimes suffer from bad engine mounts which can cause this. On a 15...
