a quick one for those that own a ph1 172, can you disarm the passenger side airbag by means of a key switch in the same manor you can on the ph2 172/182's? cheers

does this help you Matt? brand new bush and circlip, genuine aswell. http://www.pure-motorsport.co.uk/details.php?itemid=212

on a 1.5 diesel? save the money on the exhaust, its not going to make any difference performance wise and all it will do is make it loud and noisy when its still not going to be very quick, it may just start to annoy your neighbours. go for the springs and settle on some nice looks for the car...

whats a black ph1 172 in good condition worth, minus the engine? in overall decent condition, no fancy treats just a completely standard car. when I say whats it worth, I mean what realistically could I see as a return from this if I were to break it?

:)

I'm assuming it wasn't the standard stereo either then? Surely the window will be covered within your insurance policy.

About that, I'll fire you a message Mike.

Well, taken a chance and bought it. now to work out wether to break it or fit a new engine.

Youve got me puzzled with that one buddy!

It certainly has George, I'm hoping its a frequent user on her and they spot it. worst case, buy it and break it, but seems to tidy to go that route at this stage.

Suspect cambelt failure, it's a fair price it's been offered to me for but I'd like to make sure the car had no other drama's before I buy it and set about an engine change. it would just be my luck to buy it, swap the engine and then find it had electrical gremlins, or other serious faults, as...

Would anyone happen to know a silver 172 reg No: BJ52 YDL. its come from the Croydon area as far as I am led to believe. its come in at a mates garage as a trade in and I'm thinking of snapping it up, just after a little background info on it if possible. anyone know it? Cheers. PS: picture...

Timmsy, with your location, I have a mate who live in Brighton who does it and has done mine and a few other mates within the Ford RS world. hes actually now started working for Corbeau aswell, so almost on your door step. Failing that, only other places I've used is Raj @ Autoflock, and the...

I stand corrected. ive just ran our Trophy reg plate through ECP and the ball joints are available, but then ran the reg plate for our phase 1 through it aswell and the ball joints didn't come up. im guessing there must be a variation between them both. I apologise for the lack of help :(

they should stock them, they certainly do for the later 182. if you find them through ECP, try to opt for the Lemforder items.

ah cool, could be handy, cheers for that :)

Really, I must be blind then as I'll be damned if I can see it :(

Yep, done mine, just gave them a light dusting with some satin black paint.

Anyone atall?

I you feel there is to much movement within the ball joint, then it could well be heavily worn. for what they cost, and while you have it stripped apart, I'd certainly look at changing it for peae of mind.

you need to have a chat with Tom ;)

Would anyone know where to source the cup racer dash board atall? not the digital instrument cluster, but the main dash assembly itself? is there anywhere that does a polycarb copy/replica atall? Cheers

Ah Gotcha, I believe mine is the same as Porkies but I didn't clock on to your different clutch size. Diff wise, ill probably speak to Steve before I get too carried away with things cheers for the input and help James :D PS Added: what kind of value is put on your gearbox to the spec you...

must admit, while my engine/box are out and things are being changed, I am sooo tempted to get a diff sorted out before reassembling again. do they deal direct with customers and sales? or a slightly better to get a diff/CWP from an agent and use my own guy to have it all fitted?

The Flywheel, a Billet KT item by any chance, the same as on porkies new engine? maybe Via Steve?

I didn't spot the same question above.

Many thanks Matt.

What an odd way to end a sentence!! Or... What?
