Hello guys, wondered if I could get some advice please? I'm undecided whether or not to scrap my 172 (2002, 85k). My circumstances have changed recently and I'm now living on a single wage and having to travel further to work. However, the 172 has thrown some spanners in the works with a few...

Thanks mate, is that a whole new driveshaft replacement then?

Thanks, just had it looked at and it's the crank sensor. Thanks again!
