There's a happy man! I just can't bare to part with mine 3 or is it 4 years on. I used to chage my car every year tops. it does do my head in tho, from time to time

Will do!

Y'alright Dave. I'll try it this weekend, got nothing to lose. I did do a search before I bought the prolines, and it seemed the consensus was that tracking wasn't entirely necessary...

No I've not. It's since I had the wheels swapped/tyres fitted. Gonna have to go back and get them changed over, my back tyres aren't good enough for the front. More money and faffing about! thanks, John

Thanks for all the suggestions. I did swap my wheels fron to back when I put new tyres on. They seem ok on the balancing machine tho, no buckles.

Really? The tyres were delivered to me, all sealed up and put on in front of me. No water?

really, cos the tyres (Goodyear F1s) are immense. Could they really be causing this?

First thought was obv' wheels out of balance. I had new tyres fitted on the front recently, and had eibach prolines fitted the same week. Since then the wheel's been shaking. Had the wheels balanced when the tyres where done. Went to KwikFit today cos it's local and they re-balanced the...

Pearl black FTW. Once you've tried black, you never go back! But yeah, bet you're proper excited lad. Just watch the old torque steer when you're overtaking and shizzle. Scared me the first time.

Point taken. Dishes do look godawful full stop. Do you have a skylight by any chance? I'm guessing not, but if it's in the right position I've heard you can use a dish thru it.

if i disconnect my accelerator pedal and start the car i prompt the revving fault. Could it be the pedal that's duff? Or does that prove nothing?

freeview is poo. Had new aerials put up and it's still poo. Freesat with olympics on bbc hd FTW! And i'm pickin up sky sports for free at the minute!

Come on, someone copy and paste, I'm in the 'moderation phase' of registration!

I did have an accelerator pedal fault recorded absolutely ages ago... Ah feck I'm gonna be replacing loads of things one by one!

Ah, that explains it Dave. I think I'll buy one from a lad on here

i just cleaned it but it wasn't so dirty. Surely the throttle is closed at idle? Would the throttle body really make the car idle badly? I've sourced a few used ones. Just not convinced it would cure it dave...

^that's good value that

my mate works for reno, best price he can do me one for is £190. He's 200 miles away tho. He said to clean it first with brake cleaner. And advised against 2nd hand. But hey, needs must. Thanks for the help chaps

the temp sensor had disconnected. That was the fault code. But i'm still having weird revs and no throttle response. I'll check the throttle body over in a mo. How much would i get one for, is used ok?

just managed to get a fault code off the car: P0110 01/01 IAT SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION. What's all that about?

cheers dave. I'm just really unsure about replacing stuff one by one. Can prove expensive. One thing i have noticed is the sensor that enters the plenum is a bit insecure. Everything else seems ok.

OK, I've just done a search and had a read. But I'm still uncertain what's wrong with my 172. A few weeks back I started my car and it was fine till I tried the throttle, which didn't respond. Idled normally just wouldn't respond to the throttle. Switched off and on again, all was fine. No...

I drove round with 2 snapped! Took it to a load of garages who wouldn't touch it. Found one who sorted it for a few quid tho. I'd tried to budge them to no avail

Cheers Scott, I tried that. Vista wouldn't let me totally disable TMM so I've scheduled it monthly. Just restarted my laptop and it used to flicker 2-3 times, now it flickers once v.quickly. So I think I'll live with it

Is this an actual fault then?

My dell's always done this. thought it was normal? Just updated the BIOS from ao1 to ao6 and it still does it

WD40 strips any grease that was there too. Reno = FAIL

Get down there tomo. Your car is covered under the recall yeah

Excellent, hope it all goes well for you. Power oversteer FTW!
