Hello all, Selling my 172 Cup as I am going back to sea shortly and am looking to get an M3 or something when I come back. Here is the pistonheads advert to save me typing it all out again and adding pictures etc. Preferably reply through pistonheads as I check my emails much more regularly...

Hello, I have a 172 Cup '53 and have just ordered a centre section and need a backbox too. Please can someone advise me which one will fit my Cup - if it is any different than a 172. I no nothing about cars so please explain simply although should be fairly straightforward. I believe the one I...

Cheers guys, very good of you!

Thank you all! Speedo sensor it is then. Am I right in thinking that it is located behind the engine and down in the middle, almost under the bottom middle of the windscreen?

Hi, I have a 53 plate 172 Cup. Recently my speedo has started to become a bit intermittent. I took it to a mechanic who said it is one of two things, either the instrument panel or a sensor located in the engine bay (he showed me but I know nothing about cars). Has anyone else had this...

Thanks for the replies. Just if anyone is interested it was a problem with the head unit itself I think as I swapped it out with a different one and it worked fine. Kenwood let me down!!

i don't have a spare one unfortunately unless I dig out the original Yeah had been working perfectly, got back from a few days blasting round Devon, 4 hour journey home worked all the way then the next day it has stopped since then.

Ok so I checked the fuses both the head unit and main one are both are fine. The temp and time are showing as well. I took out the unit and got some pictures of the back of it. I don't know what I am looking for tbh me and my friend just connected things together when we put it in. Is this...

Being a complete novice, where would one find the fuse ?

Ok cheers, will leave it in my boot then!

Ha good question - because there is a scrappy not far away and I could get another if this was worth more but probably not worth it :)

Trim tape on the way. Thanks for your help :):)
