One other thing, can you buy the short cat back flange section or would I be better off getting my cat sleeved to slip on the ktec mid section?

I'm looking at buying an secondhand ktec recessed exhaust for my 172, were there different tip styles as the one im looking at looks sharply slash cut in the photos where as I've seen some that are almost the same angle as the bumper.

My list is begining to look rather similar to yours but I enjoy doing it, if I wanted zero maintenance I'd buy a brand new car on finance and be eternally bored at its reliability

I'm sure it would be a good investment if kept to a low mileage and stored in a temperature controlled garage but then that's criminal in my eyes, the whole appeal of 1*2s is the drive

I don't get the argument that you've over paid, it's a LY for starters and it's not like we don't all waste money on cars. Near enough every time you change cars you lose money on repairs and maintenance that's been done but had little use out of if you get what I mean.

I've always wondered how you go about cutting the recess in the correct place and if that recess only fits that particular recess exhaust

Any videos or sound clips? If I got a secondhand one I suppose I could get a recessed tip welded on as I'd rather see it

Hijack Alert! What about for a 172, or best bang for buck?

Washed and clay barred the whole thing, comes up pretty good really. Also the dodgy interior light has decided to start working when the doors open, I love French electrics they might fail for no reason but just sometimes they start working out of the blue.

It was rather dirty with a colony of spiders though, would it be advisable to flash it out with soapy water and rinse before a dry out and relax?

My 2002 172 had wax oil or similar all around the sill area, considering the rest of the car it was in better condition than I'd imagined

Still not worked out what's going on with this, I do now know that the driver side door switch registers on a parasitic drain test where as the passenger side doesn't. Any ideas?

Pretty sure he's been doing it for years but not sure he's been caught before

I think it should be dealt with harshly, if it happened to me I'd be expecting the worst. The risk to others driving with no MOT is plain negligent. And he's a knob

My mother-in-laws partner has just had his van impounded for driving with no tax insurance or mot, what is he likely to have happen to him. I personally hope they throw the book at him as he's a total waste of space and part of the reason we all pay elevated prices for insurance etc. I believe...

Had a look, it's damaged so might be the problem except the interior light won't work with the drivers door either even though I can see it drawing power when open. They work on the switches however

Good question, that was on my auto ranging multimeter using the Amps rather than milliamps setting. Can you tell I haven't much of a clue what I'm on about:D. When opening boot, drivers door etc I got around 4 amps, interestingly though not with the passenger door so would that be linked to my...

I got a reading of 0.022 doing the test you suggested James so that would suggest I've got no problem with parasitic drain right?

Need to helicoil my gearbox spider mount thingy, what size bolt thread is it that bolts it to the gearbox?

Ah now I'm thinking it could be linked to my interior lights not working when either door is opened and the fact my alarm will go off when unlocked with a door open

Thanks I think I understand

That's my Sunday morning sorted then

My 172 is draining the battery aver the course of a week or two, how do i go about testing with a multimeter to diagnose the cause?

I've always wondered this, were the numbers of some colours predetermined, sort of limited?

Right bargain! I was only joking mate

Are these the same M12 x 38mm that are on the dogbone? I've got some if they are, swap them for your spacers ;)

Get a ball joint separator to Get The wiper arm off the splines

There was a thread on here detailing how to reproduce your vin sticker as mines had a seat belt shut on it. The link doesn't work anymore so has anyone know of a way to print or order a new one?

Could well be blocked scuttle drains, wipers off, remove black scuttle covers and if they are blocked from here on will be obvious

What size spacers are on the front? Looks spot on.
