Any other areas prone to it? Haven't had a reply yet anyway, but hopefully it's not sold yet.

Steering rack?

Yeah pictures are crap, it's a woman owner so thought it may of just been a girly touch but wanted to make sure. Asked about rust too. Hopefully there isn't any

People's thoughts on this? Local to me, is it worth a look? Have asked the seller for some more pictures. Trying to understand what's what etc, can't get my head around it all. So will ask in here...

I've got standard airbox set up and have experienced this noise. It's a horrible noise, my first thoughts were gearbox, or something rubbing on the tyre. Seems to be passenger front area. Arch liner has no signs of rubbing though. Strange one.

Yeah mine has done that in the past, no idea what it was. Doesn't do it often. Been a few months now.

See a blue 182 parked up by the mk centre at about 1:30pm Just spotted a LY 182 pulling out by marks and Spencer's at the mk centre. And a flamer parked outside it.

Not a very popular colour either. Will PM you Monday if I get hold of one or not.

Top of the list should be don't go too fast. The only reason for skidding is speed. To fast for the circumstances. I've done similar, 1 series 120i. Straight into a ditch and lamp post. Chatting away to my mates not noticing the hazard ahead and my speed. Car only had around 3000 miles on...

Mines gone down. Must be your area code with all the car crimes.

You can buy one for it if it's a R56/55. Mini works website. Or I will see if I can get my hands on one at work. What colour is it?

Trying to picture them at work, and am sure they have normal. I see over 800 a day though. So don't even pay attention. Not all though, probably part of the chrome line exterior package. Will check at work Monday. Edit to this: I'm certain they don't come on R57.

Correct. All colour coded now.

Rsport cars in the traders section

They aren't fitted anymore. I've never owned the car whilst these were fitted. He sold them on before it bought it.

The seats Steve used in my flamer were straight from capital seating with correct frames for 172. Weather the ones in 197 are different or not.

Think my O/S/F wheel bearing is knackered again, only replaced less than 2 months ago. Can't think what else the humming/droning noise could be. Also vibration through steering wheel going over 60mph. Trip to the garage again, monthly thing it seems.

I've had alarm issues, never solved them but they haven't returned. All I did was the same as you have. Been about a year now I think.

Fix the bit that's broken. Be a start. At least you can then rule it out if it doesn't solve it.

That price!!!! Is that what they go for now?

Second hand headlight?

Get one from someone breaking on here. Easy to de-pin and swap over.

Pay the £12 to be a member, read the guide which is a free fix. Saving you the £10+ and fuel or postage. Money back already.

Looks good, love the prospeed on my 172.

My mates 172 game his the same issues, I removed the crank sensor, have it a clean, and it's been fine since. Try this, as it's free.

I have castrol SMX-S in my box. Lol, I did as well, 100ml one off eBay, took ages.

Look down at the front of the gearbox. Your see a butterfly screw in the gearbox. That's where you fill it. Gearbox takes 3.1 litres from dry. 3 will be enough. And like you say, will start coming out of the fill hole when it's full

Good news. Just all the slipping over and fitting inside in the post above mine made me think, I didn't do any slipping inside.
