Hi all, I have a fault with my ph2 172. sorry for the long post- want to include all the details. Car has been off the road for a long time but battery gets charged and engine started regularly. Yesterday I jumped in, some ignition lights came on, started engine. I noticed the dash seemed...

Yeah a faulty o2 sensor or coilpack would affect it. Are they working now? checked your spark plugs? Ever been changed? and are they the correct ones fitted

Mines a 53. Doesn't sound too low really. Mpg can be affected by number of things. Weather/road conditions etc. Are your tyres the correct pressure? boot full? Has it been serviced?

What year 1.2 do you have? I'm currently running around in a ph2 1.2 and I'm regularly seeing 45mpg+ on my steady commute (certainly more than my 172 on the same run)

Check the black plastic grommets on your second pic - to the inside of the rear lamps. these become loose and can let water in. Try pouring water down the channels and see if it drips in from behind.

Yep that's ok, I used that in mine.

Hi, Has anyone replaced the spline joint on their 172 offside driveshaft? end that fits onto gearbox. Another member with the problem on a 182 here (with pics) - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?615133-Reverse-Loud-Knock&highlight=reverse+knock After a long search, some say...

57 plate iirc, 13:20ish today, j6 M62 Liverpool bound. Anyone on here?

Will be the check strap. Look down by the hinges, a rod mechanism going into the door. Probably worn due to lack of lubrication. Try giving em a good spray/grease up.

Yeah pop off the round plastic cover on bottom of arm, remove nut, remove arm and re-position. Can be very tight to get arm off, wiggle it & spray some wd40 beforehand. Ideally use a puller tool.

Sure the caliper pistons are moving freely? wind them back in & out lots etc? Try a fresh brake fluid change too

Possibly worn or loose gearbox/engine mounts. When you say foot down- hard acceleration?

What condition are the discs in? Did you check in the inside faces of the discs too? The outer side may look fine through the wheel.

Likely to be one side of your brakes is binding. Possibly the caliper. Jack up and check each wheel spins by hand freely. The Caliper piston could be sticking or the pads stuck in the carriers- can try stripping & cleaning out if so.

Are you removing it completely? Inspection manual states this for a RFR/Fail - "PS inoperative or evidence that power assistance has been removed or disconnected when it is known that PS is standard on the vehicle" But then also mentions "if PS is optional fitment on the vehicle but has been...
