    Fixing 172 Front Seats

    i dont think its a cable issue as mine did the same thing. fold the seat forward and check for a little clip which runs on the outer runner which SHOULD move when you press the lead clip. I checked the passeneger Vs driver and found the passenger one was stuck but the drivers one moved freely...

    Vista vs XP

    horses for courses imho. I personally run XP pro + Ubuntu. At work we use XP Pro + w98 (yup thats right) 1 2k3 server and 1 ubuntu mail server. I had the opportunity to get the last few machines with vista on and id rather use w98 tbh. Im sure its a wonderful OS if you can afford to waste...

    Fuel Injector upgrade help?

    the volume taken up has no effect by changing injectors therfore you cannot 'overfill' the chamber by more. There may be a marginal timing benefit as you would fill the area quicker but the engine is not setup to capitalise from this. Alos, it is my belief (poss old wives tale) that the...

    Router set up question...

    there isnt an easy / cheap fix. Personalli id run some cat5 around the edge of the house as would be as much hassle in the long run but leave you with a fully working connection which isnt going to drop. However seeing as you dont want to do this you need to go either the traditional wifi...

    Very quick wireless question

    probably, whether they check is a different matter. reading between the lines youve 'borrowed' somebodys wifi and are concerned they may rumble you and see what sites your accessing and log deets if you use cc etc. yes they could but that stuff is above average joe imho !

    Phase 1 vs Phase 2 172 - Which Do You Prefer?

    i think the full definiton is fly by wire actually ;) not for the purists but you wont get traction control without it ! Never liked the ph1's tbh but i would say that being a ph2 owner, depends if you want a bit more of a go kart or a few more toys tbh - each has their own merits.

    Seat Problem

    Ive developed / found a problem with the passenger side front seat. I wouldnt slide forward at all but would recline to let rear passengers out. I played about and saw on the track at the back is a small sprung plactic clip with what looks to be a lead arm on it which 'should' depress and allow...

    pinout for stalk adapter / display / mini iso

    no intention fo selling. electronics eng with a stack of blank chips to play with and an urge to learn pic / sx programming. I have a crappy stalk mod on atm but the buttons are less than ideal and it connected to the back of the display which requires the dash off for 1. I had wondered if...

    pinout for stalk adapter / display / mini iso

    Im after the pinout ideally of the yellow mini-iso connector that connects on a head unit and drives the display and reads the stalk adapter. IIRC the stalk powers a 3x3 matrix which is read by the pcb on the display (red connector) I belive that this must be converted to some serial protocol...

    Megapixel arguement

    ffs @ some of these replies. Negating the fact that lenses / shutter speeds etc make a massive difference between models, pixels are fixed sized squares. therefore any digital picture is made up of X*Y squares. These are displayed at certain 'standard' resolutions (as in number of dots per...

    ubuntu nvidia help

    reboot but open the grub menu and select a kernel with repair option iirc and boot to a cmd prompt. then issue sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg That opens up a config box which asks you to reenter gfx card setting which will get you a gui back

    XP/Vista driver issues

    only thing i can suggest is finding the vendor and device id's (ie 01dc:56d3)from harware iirc (or a linux setup) and googling for them as id doubt you will find a hp xxxx xp driver if they are not natively supplied in xp. It may just be there arent any but you may have to fudge some existing...
