    Anyone got a spare injector?

    bit of a long shot i know, but does anyone in the exeter area have a spare 172 injector? if i could get a new one this evening it would save me having to cycle in to work for the next couple of days!

    Tech question on shock absorbers

    the question is quite vague, and doesn't specify the exact type of undercarriage leg, but a lot of the principles are the same. compressed air would be used in place of a spring to absorb impact

    Tech question on shock absorbers

    thats pretty much confirmed my thoughts, and proved the exam paper wrong! cheers

    Tech question on shock absorbers

    so you would agree in that the oil's job is to slow down the movement of the shock absorber, not to absorb the initial impact? of course the oil doesnt just damp the rebound, it would damp the initial compression too

    Tech question on shock absorbers

    Technically im talking about aircraft undercarriages here, but the principle is the same i have a practice question for an exam tomorrow. the question asks what the function of the oil in a shock absorber is. is it to damp the rebound, or absorb the landing shock? the mock exam answer sheet is...

    DIY: Stop that irritating climate control buzzing.

    good guide, but my buzzing came from the sensor vibrating against the plastic housing, not from the fan itself. if you drop the sensor and leave it dangling from the wires, its completely silent

    Constant buzzing from component inside interior light cover

    its the climate control temp sensor. mine does it too. its the sound of the fan inside vibrating against the plastic cover, and i cant seem to make is shut up

    How long until the PH1 172 starts to go up in value?

    the renault 5 was the first hot hatch, the renault clio is just a generic hot hatch, nothing innovative

    Google Nexus 4

    i ordered a black rubber case off amazon for about a fiver. certainly doesnt look as nice, but its better than scratches. i'd already dropped it a few times at work

    Google Nexus 4

    lol, no i dont. its a s**t shaped pocket on the side of my knee, and bending my knee makes it dig in that 1-2 weeks thing is rubbish. mine turned up next day

    Google Nexus 4

    mine turned up yesterday. absolutely great bit of kit. definitely too big though, digs in to my leg when i put it in my work trousers pocket

    Blown Spark Plug Clio 172 Phase 2

    some people may say the head doesnt need to come off, but i would be. it's a bit of extra hassle but far reduces the chance of further damage

    Blown Spark Plug Clio 172 Phase 2

    ideally, the head wants to come off to fit a helicoil. it'll drop swarf down into the chamber otherwise. i wouldnt send it to a mechanic, i'd get the head off and take it to an engineering place. a decent helicoil set isnt particularly cheap either where in devon are you? i know someone in...

    Buzzing climate sensor...how to clean it or any fix tricks?

    i'd be interested to know if it still works okay without the fan. mine is completely silent if it is just left dangling off the wire, it only makes a noise when its fitted in place. no amounts of foam dampen the vibration out

    V Maxx Rear Shock Top Mount Rubber Bushes

    i seem to be getting knocking from the rear suspension on my car, and on inspection im really not happy with the rear top mount bushes. there was a rear strut brace fitted which has not done the bushes any good at all im assuming the V Maxx bushes are different to the originals? where could i...
