looking for help, again.. i've a leak from the seals in the O/S gaiter - someone has told me that they can repair this in-situ for about £100 and someone else has told me that they know of no reputable PAS specialist who can do this - ? anyone any experience? also, is replacing the rack a...

ok, i'm trolling, but whose is this?: Shot at 2008-07-20

i know there are loads of these exhaust questions but i'm losing the will, sifting through them all. just got a quick question.. is there such a thing as a 'cheap' stainless stealth system? the few i've read about appear to be custom made for some of the tuners on here and (sorry) they seem...

there seem to be a few threads about people with knocking front suspension at the moment and i'm also trying to trace a knock on mine. i've already renewed the top mounts and have been looking at the rest of it today - it all feels fine to me. one thing i have spotted, though, concerns the...

Right, I've a few issues with my car and am now at the stage at which I'd like to start trying to sort them all out. The steering has the longest list and I was hoping to be able to take a little advice from those who might have had similar issues. Here's the list (!): - PAS leaks from...

don't know if this is still an issue but i've my first MoT booked and was going to print this off and mention it to the tester i use - but i can't find it on here anymore. i've not renewed my recently expired subscription - is it in one of the Private areas? can anyone link me up pls? thanks

in the continuing folly that is Cup ownership, i have noticed a new noise. joy. it sounds engine/gear/clutch related and is only apparent whilst off-throttle. i know it's always difficult to describe peculiar noises, let alone offer a diagnosis over t'internet, but it sounds like a bearing...

i'm looking at my engine mounts at the moment and am wondering if there's an 'easy' way to tighten the lower nut on the upper gearbox mount - ? i've got the battery and the airbox out of the way but there's still not much room to swing anything really:dapprove: ed. also, i'm assuming this...

Not great timing but my gearbox appears to have failed today and I’m hoping for a little advice. I was reversing at the time and the car just cut out. I noticed that the clock had reset itself and wonder if there was an electrical interruption as it failed. Anyway, it’s now stuck in gear...

Serviced the car earlier in the week and spotted that the large 'rubber coated washer' for the n/s strut is free to spin (the one under the bonnet). The nut doesn't want to tighten and the whole thing looks to have the same gap as the o/s assembly (which doesn't spin). The car is fitted...

I'm after a tub of Excellium LDX 5/40 and am wondering if I can get it much cheaper than the £44 my local dealer wants. Can anyone recommend a cheap online source or someone in my locale who might be able to help? Thanks

Can anyone offer a detailed technical description of how the dephaser operates please? If anyone has one, a photo would be really handy. Thanks in hope!

Front fogs are practically useless in this country and I fancy swapping the units for driving lamps (a la 205 GTi) and wiring them in to the main beam switch. Has anyone done this? Thanks

i'm wanting to remove the centre panel (that contains the coin tray) from the middle of my dash so that i can stick some pads underneath it to cure its rattle can anyone advise - does it just prise off or is it more complicated than that? thanks

Right; I've had this car for about a month now and have only just, today, had the chance to give it a good going over. On top of the problems I've already noted from having been driving it, I've spotted a couple more in the garage today and wonder if anyone can offer a little advice. -...

Hi, Attempting to locate my engine number. Have searched on here and have picked up on suggestion that it's down by the oil filter. Have had a look and can see a long number etched into the block by the dipstick tube - it doesn't tally with the engine number in the documentation though...

Hi, Picked up my 172 Cup yesterday and can already tell it's going to be great fun to run.:D I've started picking up on things that I want to look into though; the first being a squeaking/squealing noise (fan belt stylee) at over 6,000rpm. It only does it at full throttle - if I pull it...

I'm off within the next half an hour or so to look at a couple of 172 Cups in the Midlands; one is a '53 @ 44k. It's a dealer car and I've been told that the prev owner was an engineer (taking this with a pinch of salt..) and changed his own AUX belt. Quick question: is this a specialist job...

Hi, I'm new to the forum and haven't had a good look around yet - so apols if this has been done to death or anything like that! I'm looking for a 172 Cup at the moment and am starting to come across cars that have been tracked. Question is - what should I be wary of? I've a fair amount...
