I know it 'should' bring it up, but the last place I took it too refused to believe it and I ended up failing, coming home, zip-tying the valve, taking it back and magically passing. Really cant be arsed with that rigmoral again so this is a precaution.

Thanks Darren

EDIT, just found a working link. Its here if anyone ever needs it as the normal VOSA link is dead http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20121107103953/http:/www.dft.gov.uk/vosa/repository/MoT%20Issue%2031%20-%20Apr%202006.pdf

Hi Guys, Does anyone have a copy of the PDF from the VOSA magazine detailing the rear breaks being terrible on a 172 Cup? I have searched on here and all the links I can find are dead. Im taking my car to a new MOT place tomorrow and want to be fully armed for the inevitable 'yes, the breaks...

Perfect, thanks :)

Hi Guys, Finally fixed the last CEL by changing an injector..... and two days later it has come back on with a new problem, yay cars! This time is is moaning about P0135 - Sensor Heater Circuit (Bank 1, Sensor 1), so it looks like I need a new lambda sensor. Question I have, from this code, do...

Thanks guys. They are indeed M6.... M6x20mm if anyone ever needs to know. Got a bag of loads of them from screwfix for about 4 quid and job done.

Thanks!

Hi Guys, One of my injectors failed so I was just swapping it out, put the fuel rail back on and sheered the bloody bolt connecting the rail to the rest of the engine. Any idea what I need to replace it with and if I can get one from Screwfix or something tomorrow? Will

Just tried another two ODB2 readers and bloody thing would not go off. However, I then did it again and it went off.... hurrah! The reason, when I was hitting re-set the engine was either on or off - it didnt like that. What worked was reading the code with the engine off, hitting re-set, and...

Update - I disconnected the battery and even connected the positive and negative cables (obviously not the battery terminals, but the actual cables) to be sure it fully drained and left it overnight. Come back this morning, hooked the battery back up, turned it on, bloody light is still there...

Thanks, Ill give it a go tomorrow.

Hi Guys, My 172 cup developed a misfire at Cadwell which I have since fixed. It's now driving fine, all good.... But the check engine light is still on. I hooked up my odb2 reader to it which is still reporting a misfire.... But it's now fixed. I set it to clear the code but the light...

High milage really would not bother me. You can buy a 172 with 100k on the clock thats not been looked after and it will go pop before it hits 110k. However, with this, to get that kind of miles on the clock it has obviously been cared for. No reason it wont go on and on and on if you look after...

I dropped him a text before I posted up his email and he said he was ok with it. Maybe he can get a groupby going on or can just do the odd order here and there. He isnt a registered trader on here so I dont want to piss anyone off, but yeah Im sure he wont mind you emailing him.
