Thanks guys. Hadnt thought of putting jump lead on alternative earth to the negative terminal- might try that. Always turned for a second, before solenoid clicked. Reckoned not enough current after a second, to turn the starter motor, on a cold engine. The couldnt fathom why a jump didnt work...

That sounds about right. Thanks again. 182 manifold already in, with the BTB exhaust. Starting: Lights seem fine...dont dim, usually trys to start for abot a second, then stops, just solenoid clicks. Tried to jump start and that had no effect to the 1 second try.... so guessing its not battery...

Cheers. Its not for a once a week track car, probably4 or 5 times a year, so not going mad, yet. Needs to earn its keep too. Take all your points- especially brakes. Braided hoses already in. Considered R888s but wanna see if the car makes it to next Spring yet, with a bit of thrashing around on...

Have booked in mine for the Offside Relactor ring driveshaft replace for next week I asked about upgrading the brake fluid to 5.1 and about better brake pads, (This was a specialist brake place) and he had a visual on the brakes and said "you got loads left on them pads" (Which i knew) and dont...

Any question technical, mechanical, solutions and faults. Anything you like car related Thought this might be handy rather than search for specific threads (which i have and not found my answer) I will kick off....;. Q/ Car engine just about turns for a second or 2 (It started fine last week...

welcome- me 172 for the track too... just a tadge away from you tho

Hove. It was a bit of a mess when collected. 6 hours of washing and machine polishing, and engine bay clean. Another few hours sorting bits n pieces No worries- i can take to setyres for a free brake check, and get it sorted for £140 i reckonn

Only piccie i have atm- work to do ;-)

Yep- nice fella. Quite honest about the car (at least so far) My OP is wrong, only 84k miles. Cleaned up fairly good, oil service done (And he had the oil/filter part of the deal) Sorted rear exhaust strap- lovely BTB stealth exhaust looks pretty much new (Car laid up for 18month) AP Coilovers...

Just been thru all the receipts, and other than the fact that the cambelt stuff was done in 2011 and 2013??? Have also got (receipt too) a BTB stealth Cat back exhaust.... theye seem pretty good. Cant wait to take it over 60mph after get the relacter ring sorted Seems BTB Stealths get good...

My 172 is silver colour... assume thats Titanium and its deffo steel and looks as old as the car n weighs a fair bit

My Ph 1 has a steel bonnet

Thought they might be- will try when i get the spanner Sure you could put some sort of adjusting tool, like a pair of grip on, to break and seize to deal with Will try the cola, altho have soaked them in WD40 for a few days, and will do again

Ah right. Just assumed the C spanner would dig in to the grub screw hole So you just use the trusy right hand then... or left if you get my drift

In case its tight? And Welshname suggested in previous post....:grinning:

Welcome Salesy

Thanks- thought the grub screws were in all the holes. glad not. Just waiting a month for my chinese C spanner to get here....

thanks. havent seen the grub screw tightning myself, and some of them slightly awkward to get at Still- so long as they work :-)

Was ferreting around the brakes today and cleaned up the coilovers- can anyone tell what they are, and are they adjusted by unscrewing the little screws? (Which are all the way round) Any help appreciated, only had coilovers with locking rings....

Hi Jake- just got hold of a 172 in Titanium last week, from Littlehampton no less Im along in Hove, and bought mine for the track mainly, but as a mileage eater too hopefully Have to meet up and compare notes sometine

welcome Rachy

Great- could you post a link?

Re the SERV light, those are the conclusions i came too. Had a receipt in the history of the car for £25 to delete the airbag light due to no airbag (Wonder if the other air bags will work) so think the the SERV light is onm for that- was told it got through the MOT ok with it on Yes- could be...

Ooooo. Havent gone that fast yet. Always thought that Milltek are a quieter more soothing sound, maybe a little tinny
