I swapped the steering angle sensor today as I had the ESP, SERV and ABS lights on. After swapping it the lights went out. I went for a drive and when I turned the wheel the ESP and SERV lights come on. Theres no ABS light and th other 2 go off when I start the car again until I turn the...
Fitted a new omp steering wheel to the 172 a couple of weeks ago. Wired the horn up and its been fine. Pressed it 2day and it sparked on the steering wheel. Horn now not working. Fuses are fine but theres no power to the horn wires. Does this mean the rotary switch is fucked and needs changing?

My squib is shagged after messing up the steering angle sensor. Just wondering if I can just replace it with a squib off a clio from a breakers or if they are different with the different models. cars a 2003 172
Am going to be needing some new pads soon. Mainly for fast road use but I do a few trackdays aswell. I know people swear by ds2500's but was wondering what the CL RC5+ are like if anyone has used them. Obviously I want decent pads but don't want dust thats gonna kill the wheels and paint on my...
So I was getting bored with the engine bay being original how it was so set about tidying it up a bit.
Painted the inlet and a few other bits matt black, engine cover ford graphite grey, got a sticker from Ady and some nice shiny plated engine cover bolts from davo172. Big shout out goes to...
I decided to give the clio a detail this weekend as weather was good and the mrs was working. Still learning alot by rotary so only achieved 80-85% correction. I was pleased with the results though.
Products used:

Tardis

Just been browsing the weights of common wheels and some I was thinking of having on the 172. Quite interesting variations really on what companies call a 'lightweight wheel'. All based on a 16x7 wheel without tyres.

Speedline Chrono 9.29kg

My heated rear screen is constantly on when driving the car. It occasionally goes off for a few minutes but most of the time comes back on by itself. I have already tried swapping the switch because i thought that might be broke but it makes no difference. So im thinking its gotta be a relay...
Finally got round to postin up some pics of my 172 lol. Not much progress at the min just a few simple mods. The car already had a full janspeed cat back stainless system and stealth box when i bought it which was a bonus. All i have done so far is replace the front sidelights with white LED...
