Looking at fitting the Ph1 gearstick into my Ph2 172.
From what I've been told the cat needs to come out. Is there a way to do it without removing the cat? I was thinking that disconnecting the cat the centre section join, undoing the dogbone mount and moving the engine forward on the mounts...
Since I got the car there has been an odd misfire at idle. This can be seen on the revs and you can hear it in the engine bay and visibly see the engine shake as it does it.
It isn't to any sort of pattern, I.e it doesn't do it once every second or whatever, it'll do it once, then wait a...
Spotted about 10mins ago near the tesco. Thought it was @pureessence at first, haven't seen his car in a while though and yours didn't have the UFO plate.
Has anyone had any luck getting longer wheel bolts for the Clio and retaining the 19mm head size?
I've got 15mm spacers to fit and can't get any in the right length with the correct head size.
Standard is 23mm long, I'm fitting a 15mm spacers so I figure that 38mm is about right. So I'm after...
Spent the afternoon at the pub with a friend of mine who is into photography and he showed me this cool little app which creates a calendar with one picture you take everyday (if you bother to take and upload one).
Seems quite interesting so I'll be giving it a go at trying to take a picture...
So nearly 4 years after joining I've finally got myself a 172 in Monaco. For now this thread will be just full of general maintenance crap and nothing that interesting.
So to start I went to view the car on Sunday in Ibstock (220 mile round trip) and didn't have much hope for it as I've seen a...

Could be a pretty good bargain if it doesn't die on the way home.
So I've just put the car back together after changing the clutch and I've got this.
I've checked the earth from the gearbox which would be the obvious one but last time this happened it just magically went after 5 mins of trying. This time it's not.
What other things can I check?
Thanks.
Just wondering if anyone else was using a different launcher on their phone?
I decided I was getting rather annoyed with being forced to have multiple home screens (as I only use the 1) and also really wanted the clean look of the Nexus 5 with the transparent nav/notification bars.
First off I...
I opted to try the new photo experience beta the other day and then went to get the HTML code to share an image a second ago.
It obviously tells you at the bottom of the "View All Sizes" page to read the FAQ. I read that and then followed the instructions. There was NO place to get the...
Following on from the iPhone thread, now that Android has grown a lot what do your home screens look like?
Mine is pretty cluttered but organised as I don't like having multiple homescreens.

Does anyone have any experience on these engines?
Friend of mine is looking at one but I've seen quite a few horror stories. Quite surprising when the DCi 80's etc are stupidly reliable.
Thanks
Thought I'd stick these up. Not the best pictures in the world but it's the first time I've used the 50mm outside of the house, granted it's dark and raining (it's always grim up north).
Friend of mine finally got his Mk1 on the road last week. When I met him 2 years ago it was sat on the...
Evening,
I've connected to my work VPN via PPTP and I can access the internet and my IP is showing as the correct one for the office, however, I cannot connect to any network resources, I can't ping any machines on the local network and I can't RDP into any of the servers.
It's like the MBP...
Decided I really need my coilovers refurbishing.
Want to know somewhere that will refurb them other than sending them to AP or Venom.
Are there any places in the NW to send them off to?
Friend of mine has this for sale. Gutted to see it go.
