Was it white? One pulled up behind me as i was turning right down Tuffley Avenue. Oh i thought that went? You have spares you lazy git [emoji2]

Your EML is on. Spotted red 197 parked outside a APD Gloucester.

I think i see that one every morning.

That sucks. I did 60 miles on it yesterday and it's my daily so we will see how long it lasts... [emoji23]

No you can't it's solid. Is it just a case of making a hole, or is there something else needed internally?

Wasn't sure what angle you needed!

I did think when i was looking at it, it was the same. As it had the same casting where the speedo sensor goes on the cup box. It's just it looked like it was filled. I will get a picture up asap. Cheers

Yeah it's a phase 2 172. It's just the speedo i know reads off box on a cup. Unless there is a workaround.

Located in Gloucester. It's a cup gearbox which makes it a pita, as i have a normal 172 box sat here!

Balls. Cheers for your help again. I guess i will just drive it until it implodes.

When driving along if i dip the clutch, yes it goes. Coasting in neutral it goes, with clutch up it goes. What will happen if the clutch is the wrong way round?

I can't remember i looked it up as i was doing it. So I'm pretty sure it was the right way round. If it was the clutch wouldn't it be all the time?

Anyone had this noise before?

Just when driving. Goes quiet if i boot it.

I torqued them up to tightest setting on my torque wrench, which iirc is 240nm.

Are they sensitive if they are not exactly 3.1 litres?

Video of noise. Changes with throttle so thinking it's diff related. I put oil in until overflowed out. Everything is tight i believe.

I bought this car and drove it home. It wasn't making the noise then. I changed the clutch and i drove it to and from the mot place and it's noisy as hell. Possible causes? I can't believe i have broken the diff/gearbox...

What car is this?

You will definitely need an oil cooler if your tracking it

Just to let someone who might want to try this, my cup and non-cup interior looms have different plugs! I couldn't be arsed to check the rest but a major one that is on the passenger side of the car and goes to the rear is different. I assume this is for all the rear lights. Non-cup 2003 03...

My car has the airbag loom removed and now i need to get it through an mot with the airbag light on solid! When removing the dash did you reinstall all the loom earthing points? i didn't and the car wouldn't start

Well all seems good, so cheers again. Just need to get it completely back together to test drive it!

Wear on the synchro ring; is this bad wear? Or okay wear....

Thank you! Will try it tonight.

These work? I guess you can't edit your original post?

Pictures seem to be showing on my phone and work computer? I am asking what gear I am in looking at the gearbox internals as such. I somehow must of knocked the gearbox and one of the shafts (I believe) has moved, putting it in gear when the selector/gearstick is in a different position.

The gearstick feels like its in 4th and the selector looks like it is too; The 1+2 and 3+4 shafts are all neutral, but the 5th shaft is outwards; Anyone able to help Identify if I am in 5th? Cheers

It wasn't the issue unfortunately. It seems i somehow managed to engage a gear whilst the selector is still a neutral position. So I am having to take the sump type cap off to find out what is out of place!

I undertook a clutch change and came to move the car and only seem to get 5th. I tried engaging gears at the selector fork and only seem to get the gear pulling down and back towards the rear of the car. I'm not sure what gear this is, but anyone got any ideas why it's doing this? I'm manage...
