On my way back from work this afternoon I noticed a fast intermittent squeak which sounds like it is coming from the front left side of my 172 cup. Its pretty quiet and you can only hear it in car with the window down driving along a wall or a hedge. It isn't effected by the engine revs, only...

Another vote here for BTM, Fred did mine about a month ago. Definitely knows what he is doing and prices are competitive as well.

Changed the spark plugs to the correct ones :D

I apologise if this has been done to death, I have had a search but it didn't completely answer my question. So the rear springs on my 172 Cup will need replacing in the next few months, and these are the 2 options a mate of mine suggested. The first option - Replace the rear springs with...

I have recently bought a cup, there was no receipt for the cambelt, only a stamp in the book with "cambelt changed" written underneath. It was done by a local garage who are out of business now, so I couldn't ring up and check. I took it to Fred in Birmingham yesterday for a cambelt and...

I don't understand how the owners of these cars wake up in the morning, open the curtains and see it parked outside and think, "Yes, My car looks awesome!"

Thanks for the advice guys. Probably going to leave it as is. The first thing on my shopping list after my Cambelt + aux + dephaser change next week is a KTR induction kit.:D

Be warned, my Mechanical knowledge is very limited so this may not even be a massive issue, but wanted to run it past this forum just to check. Bought my 172 cup just over a week ago, completely standard other than a Pipercross Carbon Induction kit. I was browsing the KTR website and noticed...

Who: Rob Where: Corsham/Melksham area What: 172 Cup Had this car a week now and loving it. Technically it's my first car, been driving around in my parents car's for the last 4 years haha. The shopping list is rather large though :D. I don't have many photos though unfortunately.

Don't get me wrong, Im definitely travelling to a specalist. There are a couple on here that are a closer to me as well as being a bit more competitive price wise, thats all.

Thanks for the offer, seems like a competitive price, but Nottingham is quite a trek from here. I will see what other options I have first

Had my 172 cup for about a week now, 2003 and 85k miles. There is a stamp in the log book for the cam belt change which was done at 52k miles in 2008. I tried to follow up on the garage but there website is down and the phone doesn't ring, which makes me think it no longer exists. As my...

Well as this thread is still going, I may as well ask in here rather than clog up with a new thread. I'm definitely set on a 172 cup and have now have the funds to buy one. The thing now is getting the right 172 cup. I have a neighbour who has been in the used car business for a while and is...

Thanks for confirming that I was being a wuss. I Will have one soon enough, just waiting for the right one to come along. Can't wait!

If this is in the wrong place, it is quite a general thread so assumed this is in the right place I'm very motivated for a 172 Cup, viewed one the other day and was very impressed. Got the money to buy one now, just going to wait until I have enough to comfortably run and insure it. A few of my...

As you can see I'm new to the forum, hopefully purchasing a 172 Cup in the next month or two, just got to find the right one! Cheers
