That last piece bolts to the battery tray/ upper gearbox mount with the bent piece pointing up to help stabilise the airbox

Have to wonder what the insides of that silver 172s engine looks like, unless it's been regularly turned over surely the surfaces would drain of oil and condensate even in a temperature controlled environment

Thanks bit much for me at the moment

Thanks, debating replacing mine with a ph1 or just a Richbrook knob as they do a similar style. How much were you selling for?

Other than the knob is there any other difference between the two in terms of length etc. I seem to remember my Ph1 being shorter

Thanks mate, someone linked it to me on FB

Can anyone recommend where I can get these from for when a spray my cover?

Did a bit more bay restoration

Can anyone tell me whether the cable from the drivers side door switch connects into the passenger side or if they both terminate in the uch plug? Thanks in advance

Any links to a wiring diagram for the uch?

Had all belts, dephaser, waterpump etc replaced on my Flamer along with a wheel bearing. Goes well now!

I thought the crank sensor would cause it to be hard to start rather than rough after. My 172 had similar symptoms which ended up being a poor precat lambda plug connection, started fine ran ok until the ECU adjusted the fuel 02 mix I guess, then ran rough and would die after 2 mins or so. Try...

To do this do I need to extend my multimeter leads or do you just work up the relevant wire poking the leads through to the shea thing?

Mine used to work but hasn't of late bar the on the odd ocassion intermittently, it must be a poor connection somewhere

Ah don't say that, I bought mikalor clamps because the look neat and yes I've clamped on the very end over the cut ends. I'll pull the joints back and try HT silicone and leave over night see if that's any better

My newly fitted recessed ktec exhaust keeps on rotating on the sleeved joints even after tightly clamping with Mikalor clamps, what can I used to put in the joint to holt it right? I was going to use high temp silicone if that'll work.

Not yet, I've given up for now but will come back to it when I've had the belts done this week

Problem gone away for now. I disconnected neg lead overnight, removed and reconnected the big white connector in the fuse box which showed a small amount of corrosion and it runs with no problems. I think a tightening of the pins may be in order.

So after the fun of fitting my recessed ktec I've now got an engine management light on and reading the following codes, P0120 and P0136. P0136 - I've recently replaced the front lambda but did have a bad plug connection so will check that P0120 - throttle pedal? Not looked into this yet...

Rob your flamer project is much like mine even down to the black gold cup spoiler. I need to see to behind my fuel cap as well then onto the bent jacking points - all four? Is that built hamber you've used to neutralise the remaining rust?

I've noticed today that with the boot open the 'door open' light comes up on the dash so at least I know the dash light works. Both door switches work so it must be wiring from there on...

Realise I've got two threads going on this so I will abandon this one. See above thread

Do you mean the door switches?

Tried unplugging them, does nothing as the alarm still goes off. Doesn't matter what door I open

Cant see how a bent rear beam could cause a bearing to go before you noticed odd handling or uneven tyre wear. Get it 4 wheel tracked before you go about replacing the beam

Yeah recessed

Anyone?

I've been trying to solve this problem but havent got anywhere. Basically when I unlock my 172 the courtesy light comes on as normal but within 10 seconds it auto locks even after opening a door and with it open. If I put the key in the ignition it wont auto lock, whether connected or not the...

I've bought a ktec recessed exhaust but it's missing the short flanged part that joins cat to centre section, is this part available separately or would getting a sleeve welded onto my cat be a better solution?

I've just bought a ktec recessed secondhand, not looking forward to doing the cutout
