I've just fitted some used Eibach Sportlines and noticed that when I dropped the car back down the coils look like they are touching at the bottom - pic below - both sides look the same. Does this look right or have I dropped a clanger (duff springs or poor fitting)? The ride height has dropped...

Even after filing a little bit off the tips of my Ferodo DS2500 pads, they are still a tight fit and I fear will bind a bit. Should I file more off or is it better to perhaps remove the anti- rattle springs? I have cleaned up the calipers, so there is no debris or rust causing a tighter than...

I have a 6-8" crack in the lower passenger side corner of the screen which I caused whilst taking the wiper off :rage:. I've been using the car daily for 2 weeks since and it hasn't got any worse. I will replace it, of course, but was thinking I might leave it till after the trackday I have...

:grinning::grinning:Finally bit the bullet and bought this little lady for a bit of fun. Got Brands Hatch booked in November (God help me with tyre choice for that :openmouth:😂), and hopefully Castle Combe September. I will also use it to reduce mileage on my regular daily. It's a...

In my quest to find a 172, I've now driven 3 of them.........2 of them had clutch pedals with what seemed like minimal travel and both felt quite heavy. The third one, however, which has had a new clutch fitted within the last couple of months, was much lighter to depress and had more travel...
