??? Good idea Paul. Keep this thread updated ?

I disconnected the small terminal from the starter solenoid and played around with the wiring so seems to have fixed the issue. Thanks for your help ?

Iv used falkens on track and they seemed pretty good tbf. But they looked like this after the second trackday so going for some ado8r's on a spare set of wheels I think. £75 a pair in 15's so very reasonable price but will stick to them for road use in future. Il give the new pattern a go and...

I always rave about Falkens for road use as they are very reasonably priced but have noticed they have released a updated version. Ze914 are now Ze310 anyone given them a go yet?

thanks guys. Il check the wiring. Engine has been out in the past so wouldn't be surprised if it could be related

this only seems to be an issue when its cold and can be intermittent. The car will not turn over at all. Turning the key does nothing. I have to wiggle the wiring going to the starter motor then it tends to start. Sound Just a bad connection or could it be something else? It doesn't do it when...

~3l fill till it spills basically

it's this type boot you need. Not 100% weather its the correct dimensions on this listing though http://vi.raptor.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemDescV4&item=112069038936&category=174089&pm=1&ds=0&t=1536432370321&cspheader=1

the 2 piece type shaft I'm assuming? Iv replaced mine before now. You just have to grind a bit off the engine block off is all. Same if you are to be using a j&r shaft

which boot? All can be replaced

Replaced the A/C pump on this, very easy job for anyone wanting to do it. Just need to remove bumper/slam panel and take tension off the belt. loosen the alternator so you can get enough slack on the belt to take it off the A/C pulley. 4 bolts and disconnect the a/c lines/wire then it comes out...

Anyone managed to get hold of the bearing and clutch so I can replace them. Mines failed and would like to get replacements to diy it. Can't seem to find anything for a/c refurbs Any help or details would be appreciated Rich

anyone playing dayz?

thanks alot. Looks like just alternator to be removed. Hopefully there's enough space without having to remove rad!

Had a brilliant time on the Saturday with track time. Few of us from the 1.8 16v forum came along. Great track for a noob like myself to play on ?. Definitely will come again

do I need to remove pas pump/alternator to get to it do you know? Recently just replaced the pas pump on it

Any guides on here? mines failed so needs replacing. what needs removing to get to it. do I need to remove everything that runs off the aux belt or can it be removed by just taking off the belt/tensioner? not taken a look yes so any tips before I get started would be appreciated Thanks

yes it fits in the notches, always confused me as surely it would stop the piston rotating and pushing out as you mentioned

Hey sam

looking to replace my boot but there are 2 sizes. Which size did you use if you can recall? Think there's 25 & 28 mm. Also did it come with a bearing? thanks

you still have them? Would be interested in purchasing them off you dependent on price as they are NLA

Common to weld these up on mk1 clios so don't see any reason you couldn't weld a mk2 column

which size fitted and was it for a std ph2 172? did you replace the bearing too or just the boot? link would be great also :) Thanks in advance

older hatchbacks do look comically small in car parks nowadays ?

soak the boot in warm water usually helps ?

for anyone interested, the bolt spacings are different between the 2. Just a case of drilling new holes in the subframes though

just purchased a set of honda recaros that are on twingo subframes. Any idea if they are likely to fit into the 172 before I try it out? have been told they are custom subframes for twingo thanks in advance

iknow mate, just commenting on it ?

Fitting 172 hubs is pretty straight forward I am told. Just a case of shaving a bit off the hub where it mounts to the shocks. If you fancies that idea. Frees you up to use 1*2 pads/discs/calipers. (all reversible stuff so can be changed back if wanting to go back to original)

^ different. Ph3 front bumper ?
