Would anybody be able to ID the socket/plug in the image attached? Was cleaning the interior today and noticed it dangling down under the dash above the pedal box. Checked the brake light sensor and it’s not from that. Any help appreciated.

The adjuster on my clutch pedal has snapped. Anytime I depress the clutch the adjuster splays open and the cable pulls through. My question is can this part be replaced separately? Or is it a pedal box change kind of job? Any help greatly appreciated.

My car failed it’s MOT due to a failing drivers side driveshaft. The garage found it difficult to get hold of a driveshaft, however a few days later it was fixed. Having a poke about underneath the car tonight as it’s been feeling slightly loose/wallet at the front end I noticed the new...

Recently my 172 has had a slight wobble/vibration that can be felt through the car when decelerating/braking. I got in the car yesterday to drive to work and could hear a similar noise to a brake pad slightly catching on the disc. Further into the journey I could hear a knocking noise that...

Got in the 172 this morning, put the heater on to clear the windscreen and the motor cut out. Tried it again but to no avail. Did a bit of investigative work and found the 30amp hadn't so mech as gone but had melted the receptacle it sits in and also damaged the fuse behind it. I suspect it...

My 172 has been pulling to the left for quite a while. I took it to get its alignment checked and they made some changes to the front set up of the car. However after getting it back and driving it the wheel has to be slightly off centre to the right in order to stay straight on the road...

Just got my car back from the garage after it had the cambelt and aux belt done. I've just gone to open the bonnet to have a look in the bay and it wont open. The lever in the car still feels tensioned, i.e. the cable hasn't snapped but the bonnet will not pop open. I know the logical answer is...

I've noticed for a while now that my phase two 172 has a whine on cold start up and when turning to full lock in either a forwards or reverse gear. Having read some of the replies to similar issues I decided to do some investigating. I noticed that the power steering fluid is black in colour...
