I've been having a few issues with the car starting. Within the last 4months its had new plugs, ht leads, coilpack, battery (not all at once), the car turns over but refuses to start. If I lock car (key), put alarm on (separate fob), disarm alarm, itll start. So my thinking is its possibly an...

Have you got any contact details for him?

Another thread that makes me not like Iceburg Silver anymore. Very tidy looking car!

I have one of the Prima racing exhaust mounts on my car. Worth buying imo, some one here have had them where the movement of the exhaust elongates the holes, but I've had no issues with mine (apart from when the metal body felt apart after winter, but was replaced for free)

Recently changed my coolant. Bought x2 5ltr bottle, didn't even open the second bottle

Suggestions?

Ah, it is around one of the bolts as they're slightly recessed. What's a fix for this if it is a bolt?

Changed the VVT seal at the weekend. Cleaned the cam cover up whilst at it. There is now a small amount of oil there again (near the second from left branch of the inlet manifold. Where is this going to be coming from? Is there a gasket on the breather plate that sits under the inlet mani?

Yeah, SFW/A52 Nice simple job then, on the list to do over winter when I can get to the garage (hopefully)

Good to hear mate. Got a text last night from a mate that spotted you - black fabia vrs How have you gone about wiring in the fan override? I was looking at slimline fans the other day and thought it would be ideal to have an override

I fly on the 20th. Mrs wasn't happy when I suggested meeting her there :-(

Not bad then, should be fine

Not something someone like ktec could help source? Could try set up a group buy, might be so etching Andy from clioturbo could offer as an extra/upgrade. on another note, when you tapped the sump for the temperature sender was there enough metal thickness to get a decent amount of thread into...

Bad times. I've read good things about the nord lock washers. We used them on a project at work, no complaints yet. Wish I'd have known about Mallory, would have been worth a trip down

Damn, read that as breasts. Reading fail How do the two compare? performance and handling wise. <3 RB, best colour

Just checking the date of my holiday, hoping we fly on the 22nd! (fingers crossed)

Very tidy. I fitted a new coolant bottle this weekend. Amazing the difference that makes on its own tbh

Just wanted to make sure this small amount of oil that seems to collect around plug #1/the oil cap is from the VVT sensor. Not a lot of oil, just a PITA and a little bit of a mess If so anyone got the part numebrs

Got any contact details?

Wheels look good!. So wish I'd have got an RB :-(

Quick job to do?

this could explain why my PAS tank was empty this morning then

Spotted a patch on the floor at work, popped my head under the bonnet and saw a nice greasy mess. Seem to be stemming from around the sensor (image below) This a common problem that others have? Any help on possible solutions?

Thanks

Will the following be suitable for 172 ph2 gearbox Would 3ltrs be enough, I know the fill quantity is 3.1ltrs http://www.halfords.com/motoring/engine-oils-fluids/gearbox-oil/castrol-syntrans-multivehicle-75w-90-1l

Also, this ^....air con delete kit needs ordering now... Ive just had the top section flocked for now, the bottom will be done at some point. Only downside to it is, the first few times you put the blowers on all the loose bits go in your face

Silver, with black cage. Rolling on standard 172 alloys at the moment. The f1's can't go on yet, can't get on my driveway with them on haha getting your dash flocked? I had mine done, makes a massive difference!

Flew past me at the weekend on the toys'r'us island. Seemed to go well!

Headliner is a bit awkward to get out, roll cage is in the way. Plus, can't for the life of me get the grab handles out :S

When it rains my headliner gets wet, one place only - passenger side, corner next to the sun visor. Cars a 172/non-sunroof. I've done a search and tried what I could find from a search. I have the aerial out, put silicon around the hole and then on the nut on the inside. Screen has also been...
