Out for a braaaaap in the sunflower

Having tried 2 obd readers it would seem that the ECU won't connect on my phase 1. Any ideas ?

Try 20 or 30 attempts !!!!

I wonder which of the written off / scrapped cars donated its bonnet to mine ? I'm currently rebuilding the front of mine after hitting a rather large badger last week ! Cracked bumper and damaged radiator......

I dont have this on my ph1 172! Strut is held together with a flat nut and the strut passes through the mount. Where do these fit ?

Tell him I want that 5 !

Oh dear

I was using it last summer after it being off road for 8 years. It's a second car but yes I will be using it through summer

Got cracking on getting the interior back in today, looking much tidier and found where the hazard warning loom was, trapped under the carpet !

All back together again after fitting a new cambelt kit, idles smoother now and picks up very nicely. Took me over a week to do but that includes waiting for new parts to arrive and I resealed the cam cover as it was leaking, for reference I used loctite 518. I replaced all of the fasteners...

I'm afraid not, it was attached by the zip tie. Sorry

Boom !

I picked up a radiator last week and I believe it had two attached

I may have one kicking around the garden, I will check tomorrow

I have ordered loctite 518, having to wait for it to arrive but I'm not in a rush

I did my research and realised the same, some say loctite 815.
