Yep. All the sensors were checked. I'm thinking it could be an earthing problem or immob. The fuel pump not priming must indicate something?

I don't have a spare.. ):

The red light on the dash was behaving normally (staying on for three seconds and going out) but now it's flashing constantly.

Yep. I'm not positive on where they both go though. It was so long since I took 'em off. One is at the back, by the starter motor, and the other I've earthed at the front of the box, to the point where an air con/pas pipe is..

Right then. I've just changed the gearbox in my Ph1 172 and the fecking thing won't start. It's been apart for about six weeks in all, with the battery and everything off. I've put it all together, and tried to start it. The first time, the starter motor clicked, but the starter's not...

Pm Steve79. He had a few last time I spoke to him..

Follow Ben P's guide. It's top notch.

f**king legends. Cheers lads..

Ah right. Yeah, all the hubs etc. are off. Driveshafts out. Just want to make it easier for me to get the new box back in!

Yeah, all the bolts have been undone, and I've dropped it down a few inches, but is there any reason it can't be removed completely? Steering rack an issue?

I'm mid-swap in my gearbox change. I've got the old box out, and a new one ready to go back in, but getting the old one out was a f**king nightmare! How easy is it to drop the subframe? I've dropped it a few inches, but want to see hoe easy it'll be to drop to the floor?

If the dogbone mount snaps, the engine won't move unless under load.

Legend. Cheers matey.

Anyone know?

On the Ph1, it's over the back of the engine, middle-ish. Post up the symptons, and I'm sure others will give you a few suggestions..

Right, so I'm changing my gearbox, as per benp's guide. Do I need to change the gasket between the cat and the centre section? Also, the plenum was sealed with some sort of black rubber.. What's the score? Do I need to replace the sealant, or will the old stuff still be good? Cheers...

In the petrol station by walton bridge. Gorgeous.

The 172 box has a speedo sensor though.. The 182 uses ABS to work the speedo. I think they're the only differences.

Awesome. Such a fitting tribute from the pics I've seen..

Awesome. A truly fitting tribute.

Does it jump out of gear ever? Is it ever tricky to get into gear?

I like. Little car, Italian, power. What's there not to get?

ABS. Something's up if it's happening all the time.

I don't mind which box I use, there just doesn't seem to be any Ph1/cup ones about for a decent price.

So, I know that the ph1 garbox has a speedo sensor and the ph2 uses the abs to work the speedo. Is there anyway of adapting a Ph2 gearbox to accomadate the sensor? Or could I get my speedo working using the abs ring too? What would I need?

Without pics, i have no idea what you mean.

Halfords do 'em. About £1.20 iirc.

Quality.

Check the usuals. Tried jump starting it? Fuel? Spark? Compression? You should be able to hear the fuel pump prime itself. Lay under the car and get someone to turn the key. You should hear it wake up. Spark- Take a plug out and test it. Easy enough. Compression tester required if you...

Wear and tear, unfortunately...
