I've been admiringly looking at your undersealing project, you'll be hoping it doesnt pop after all that effort.

RPD, I need to get part no.15 as well. I cant stand the scuttle edges not sitting flat

At least I know my hub bolts will come off easily after this weekends fun.

Finished fitting the rear stub axle spacers, found a new problem

It was the gearbox oil return pump that was the optional extra, just nobody ticked the box

I'm contemplating doing a bit of an underside restoration myself this spring/summer, Im hoping to get the rear beam of for painting but paranoid about removing the 6 bolts to get the mounting brackets off. I've done a semi suspension refresh on both of my last 1*2s it's well worth it

I've got more time to contemplate now my dash clock isnt ticking the hours by, thanks @YorkshireKyle

Good point but you'd soon realise when the caliper mounts were in the wrong place surely. Saturday night and I'm contemplating such crap!

Is there a good reason for one of the four stub axle bolts on a 1*2 to be an M8 when the other four are M10s, theres room for it to be M10?

^ I'm not happy with that now, I should have cleaned the hubs up and painted them but fitting it all in was going to be tight. I think I'll be stripping it back down when we get lighter evenings but at least the bolts will come off easily.

Fitted 16mm hubcentric spacers to the front which took longer than it should have thanks to a seized disc retaining bolt that was proud of the mounting face, a centre punch saw to that eventually. Started to fit PMS 10mm stub axle spacers to the rear, wasn't all that bad considering the 17...

I bet that's fun jacking on that surface, still better than my sloping drive

I think my reservations have always been the stories about Henk being a bit of a s**t to deal with

I might be exaggerating a bit but definitely low down they arent the best

Yeah they can be underwhelming below 4500

So all this has got me wanting to get an RSTuner, what in every day driving will I notice as a difference for my £90‐100?

I found this guide but cant find it now. I searched 'aircon fix' or something similar. It's a small cog in the drivers footwell that needs a cable tie around it to stop it slipping

I'm tempted to get an RSTuner map on my 172 but I'm not confident of playing around with laptops and maps, think I might screw it all up

Not even going to add it up 1.for my own sanity 2. for fear it might get seen by the wrong person

Did it actually drive ok with this timing?

⁸ Yeah goes into the loom with the black and red alarm wires, the alarm is still working though as it woke me up at 3am the other day! All taped up now so I may just pretend I never saw it.

Cheers matey, I'm quite pleased I've found the source of it. Not many issue left to sort out now and they are mostly cosmetic. Back to these cut wires, they go into an insulation wrapped loom that hangs under the glovebox so as everything else seems ok I'm assuming they are from a previous head...

Ive had the dash top off today and found a poor connection on the clock causing the back to the future clock and semi backlighting but also the interior light had some tarnished contacts. Once these were all cleaned up I've got the draw down to 0.063 Amps, is that within acceptable margins? It...

Looking great, the newer RS badge has tempted me too as it doesnt look like it came from Halfords. Is it the light or is the offside rear arch pushed in?

My ph2 172 had a similar although not intermittent problem very similar this which turned out to be the earth on the back of the gearbox which I'd accidentally broken while removing the starter motor. Worth a look

As if they dont leak bad enough, cut a hole in the roof! My Valver let more water in through the sunroof than the Titanic

My list is a bit less extensive than some on here but here goes. My vehicles- Iceburg 172, shouldn't have sold it but really wanted a 182 Arctic blue 182 both cup packs, again should have kept it as it was immaculate. Yamaha YZF R125 SV650S Caddy trendline, boring but useful Triumph Daytona...

Dash top off again I think, I'll see how my head feels tomorrow morning. I'm getting somewhere though

Maybe these cut wires from a removed aftermarket head unit?
