Common faults lay around the ns driveshaft as this hold the gearbox oil and also the gear selector input shaft. Both fairly easy fixes I guess. Check these two first!

Ball joint or track rod end mate, failing that Ill fitted top mounts perhaps?

Haha Typhoon that made me giggle. Headlight has condensation on the inside. As above pal

Miss my old mk1 :( nice collection!!

Great progress mate and looks good too! Working on my own 172 at the moment :) keep up the good work!

Looks good buddy! Like the yellow on black theme :) Also nice name haha!

I've never had problems with their premixed rattle cans bud, guess it just depends.

Thanks guys I think I'll get it done :)

Hope so! Haha

Could be sump mate - might need to take it off and get it re-sealed. Mines leaking from the back right Corner! Pain.com

R-sport where are you based? Sounds like a deal to me proving I can get to you.

Is it actually worth changing the water pump? My understanding is its on the aux rather than the timing?

Just emailed two tech awaiting a response :) The other was JMS tuning but I think they no longer exist!

How far? Ktec is a mission from me anyway!

Getting ready to book the 172 in for belts and dephaser, was wondering if it's worth changing the water pump too or is this not going to be needed as such? Price quoted from Ktec is £761.60 for all belts, dephaser and water pump supplied and fitted

I'll bare that in mind buddy - he could have had a wiring problem to be honest! No Updates this week - but a lot in the pipe line, clutch cable to be fitted soon as well as a bumper respray and wheel refurb too Plus my never ending shopping list!

Bulbs seems to have good reviews tbh - never heard of flames from a xenon bulb tbh - if they pop it's just game over for the bulb. Couldn't sell them of they we're dangerous... And a 5 year warranty too.

I'll take me chances with cheap ones haha - not too keen on £120 a bulb to be honest!

Cheers mate ill give it ago - no rush to be on the road anyway.

Nice one thanks bud - I take it all my stalks will fit with that fine - is it a fiddly job or rather straightforward? Not taken one apart on a clio before.

Intake needs a lick of paint too! Need an engine cover if anyone has one laying around? Need the bolts too!

So a bit of background on me really - I've own a rather larger number of cars from clio's to corsa's, polo's to Mini's. Ive always done my own mechanics an I've got a cracking little garage at home to keep me dry in the winter months! :D So my manager was getting rid of his car and wanted £500...

Right ok - I'm going to have to pull it all out and look what's going on really.... No idea why there's only one wire really, only thing I can think of is thAt the wire I can see is not actually the horn wires I'm after.

Is the bottom left the horn wires? I'm guessing it's easier to see what's going on if I take the cowling off and see, is that picture the front or back of the squib?

Yeah that's what I thought - should I run a red & black from the crimp, or split the wire into to and wire that way. I'm putting the OMP steering wheel back on as I'm having trouble with the airbag lights anyway so ill just resistor them. Or is there a connecter I plug into the red crimp for the...

Anyone seen this before??

- this is the horn wire attached guys, any ideas?

Any ideas?

Morning guys, working on the project 172 yesterday, replaced the rear discs and pads but on the handbrake it doesn't appear to be holding the wheel very tight - I haven't checked if it's actually working fully on braking yet or even bled them. Could this be a need to tighten the handbrake or...

Actually cried at that text haha!!!
