As my horn has failed on the PH1 172 i am looking to replace it with a Siebel.Nautilus. Due to high current draw for this type can anyone tell me if the OEM fitted horn is supplied on a relay circuit ?

I think i will fly in the face of the popular vote and go for 'white' :) But then to be honest cant be bothered to go and get some white 'fridge' paint so they are staying satin black..... Next question - do i lacquer satin black ?

i did this on my 172. my bottom arm shifted on the bushes resulting in the wheel sitting closer to the rear of the wheelarch. check the subframe isnt damaged. i visually checked mine ( against the other side ) and could see no distortion. apparently they twist quite easily. have you checked...

While on the subject of yellow cars. What colour do i paint my refurbed wheels ? Black or white ?

Fitted a set of Apex springs to the 172. Had a word with the nominated tracking company ! The guy asked me if it had been lowered. Anyone on here had issues with getting the tracking right once it has been lowered ( -40mm i believe ) ? Id rather have good tracking than the Apex springs. If it...

where can i get some wheel spinners. the ones that keep spinning when you stop ? in the mood for some customising. need to match them with the flames i have down the side of the 172....

This sounds similar to a new trend in accidents happening in the uk. Criminal gangs are deliberately causing accidents by not moving off and being rear ended. The occupants then falsely claim for injuries. Seen it on the tv where an investigator was staking out a junction that had been used for...

that looks quite optimistic !

Ordered a new bottom arm for mine today. Should be a straight swap. FYI the arm was £54.90 + vat

you lucky lucky lucky b*****d ! ( read this is Pythonesqe voice ! )

I have been checking some old posts and have noted that the subframes suffer when attacking kerbs. I have had a quick check side to side on mine and as far as i can tell it all looks good. When a subframe bends from a heavy kerbing where does it tend to bend\twist ?
