    Demister

    Also get them to look at the condenser drain pipe, this should allow the moisture to run away so you dont get car sick or legionaires. I remember someone telling me this wasnt connected right and didnt drain away on their Mk 2 172

    Keep the winows up, set the blower on a reasonble heat, not right up. Make sure recirc isnt on. The recirc flap is motorised, and this is Valeo part same as Pugs and it gets stuck...........trip to the dealers if it is, dash out job.

    Tapping Noise From Engine

    what oil are you using? Getting this alot lately with people putting synthetic or low viscosity oils in older motors (i mean like more than 50k miles) Has it just started or has it been ongoing? Often starts up when the weather starts to get cooler. Dont recommend flushing oils, they...

    Castrol formula RS

    Dont use thin oil oil in older cars, you need to use that stuff from new. If it anyway begins to sound rough/rattley change it right away for more viscous oil. You will notice alot more blue oil smoke on start up as it will leak past the valve seals, you need to be careful of this or you will...

    172 Killer-Scooby or 20V Turbo

    The standard scoob is 213hp ALL WHEEL DRIVE, it isnt in the same league as the fiat, which is a coupe and a torque steering ferrari wannabe. Besides, EVOs John Barker posted a true 5 sec flat to 60 in a standard Impreza on a one way run. If your scooby goes flat after 100, i suggest you have...

    Any advice on dealing with dealers

    And indeed, rattles and squeaks constitute crap service. The manufacturers only saddle us with cars that sound like a skeleton w**king in a tin can cause we accepted it for years.

    Any advice on dealing with dealers

    I do alot of this QA stuff, and its given that ANYTHING mechanical will fail. QA and customer service is all about admitting there is a problem and fixing it, and ensuring it doesnt happen again. The problem, highlighted by the number of peeps buying imports, is that we in Britain will no...
