So you bought a car with the engine management light on that sounded rough. You haven't mentioned how much you paid for the car. Cheap perhaps? You bought private for cheaper so have to take the risks attached Expensive and harsh lesson for the future

It's going into the bodyshop I use through work.

Good choice. Mines going in wed to get my handles done plus a good mop and wheel scuff sorted. The dampers after recon will make it so much better

Front bumper shouldnt cost more than £200 to get done IMHO buddy and from what you have shown id say it needs painting not polishing

I think a year ago yes but with them jumping in value so much in that time I'd say its to late. I can't see people paying much more than 15-18k for a good mark 2 or 12-14k for a mark one. But then again what do I know

Ive just ordered the Federals Chip linked to earlier as i cant be arsed to look any more. http://www.tyres-pneus-online.co.uk/...-r15-82-w.html They did have a set of soft compound for a bit more bit these will do for now. Thanks gents for the help

Where are the toyo's £320? please buddy

Cant find the RSR's for anywhere near £250 for 4? Any links

I have tried the search but can't find the answer. Have wet/mixed weather tyres sorted with Toyo T1R on my 182 set of wheels but they melt when its hot and dry from experience. So have invested in a set of 15" wheels to get a good set of track rubber for when its warm and dry etc. Not running...

New shocks all round, wheel bearing, top mounts and both drive shafts along with service. Plus it will need two front tyres soon. That's just the 172 I'm sorting the trophy next week. It would be cheaper to run a Porsche

That's lovely. I can see the values on these getting even higher in a few years time.

Glad you walked away from that. I'd say the cars done it's job and maybe best left to be crushed tbh.

That's the one. Tbh the lights look s**t

I think that's the son of the guy that owns Williams motor co in Cardiff. Or he has sold it to somebody else

Been trying to update the owners register for a month. Have given up tbh

Thanks

Passenger seat in the trophy gets moving back and forth and now won't lock in position. Still tilts back and forth. The piece of metal that sits at the back on the rail has broken ( that moves back and forth also independently of the seat. Obviously I need a new part but would it be the rail...

Buy a code reader for a tenner and try clearing the codes. If it does come back on they post the fault code up and someone will be able to tell you the problem

Yeah sounds like a plan

All fine now thank god. New plugs, leads and coil along with oil and filter change as it was there and to be sure it had the right stuff in. Water had got into the spark plugs after some tool had jet washed the engine bay it seams. Running 100% now

Thank god it's been sorted. Some idiot has jet washed the engine bay it looks like and water has got into the were the spark plugs are. Rusted them and I'm lucky they all came out in one piece. All changed with new leads and coil pack just to be safe and it's running 100% fine. Thanks for all...

Was the car sounding like a tank and misfiring also or just the light flashing now and again?

Hopefully a simple one but with me it will probably need a new engine with my luck. Ive got the 172 for donar parts to see whats wrong so worst case ill have a dead 172 for a few days while i order the part thats gone wrong

no bought it as a trade sale ( im in the trade)

Yes changed two to be safe

Hopefully a minor blip but it's developed a really bad misfire in being looked at now

So my curse with cars continues driving to get my son yesterday in traffic stationary and engine management light starts flashing and car then starts misfiring badly, turned around and drove home. called out RAC and they read fault codes as misfire on cylinder 2. towed to garage today and they...

Do it. I've wanted one for the last 3 years, got a 172 thinking there wouldn't be much difference but they are miles apart.

Cheers mine have been done at 55k so won't need redoing for a good while then :).

How often would you say they need to be done?
