For the past few months I have had an issue with the battery draining even though brand new. The alternator is new (recon) so I can only assume something is draining it when the car is left off overnight? There has been an ongoing fault for some time which I can never find the route cause of...

Any tips on what to go for? Is it worth buying an in-car gauge too? Oh, and im going to run megane injectors. Is it worth upgrading the fuel rail or stick with standard? Will be on a high comp engine with 438 cams.

Both emission and engine management light have been on for some time, I took it to the garage to clear all faults and they both stay on with P0120 circuit A iir, and bank 1 sensor... I've tried both pedal and TB before and recently bought a new genuine sensor for the pre cat... When I pulled...

After sorting out the dead battery issue on my track car I now have these two faults :banghead: One being second lambda sensor and the other being throttle pedal. It kicks into limp mode and drives generally quite sluggish and poor... I can accelerate so assuming the pedal works fine? I've...

Last night whilst pissing it down with rain the battery decided to die on me at a cross road. I managed to get it back after a jump start but there was nothing left to even lock to doors... The car has a new alternator and battery so something is taking life out of it rapidly... With recent...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=121079127748 PM me for a price if you want to collect before auction ends. Alan Fearnley artwork so very well detailed, I don't really have anywhere that would suit this picture now so might as well sell it.

Is this something cheap and simple that can be changed? If so, any recommended places in the West Midlands/Warwickshire area?

Since the last project thread updates I have now taken full ownership of the car. I will keep the thread updated but please be patient as I’m quite pathetic at writing up reports and keeping people up to date with things...

I'm going to buy some FK 15mm Hubcentric spacers for the rear. Does anyone know if I need shorter wheel bolts to run these? If so, are thye safe for track use being shorter? Cheers, Mike

No need for this so at 99p starting bid... Grab a cracking crimbo present for the wife/missus ;) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=121040433168

I've had an error code P0120 with the engine light and squiggly line one above oil temp. Fred cleared these last week and the engine ran perfect on the way home. The next day I come to drive it and it's back in limp mode and both lights come on again. The car is sluggish but throttle response...

Just tried to fit some rear aftermarket dampers to the gf's 182 and they dont fit! :mad: Standards use an M8 Nyloc at the top mount but these are M10x1.0 bloody fine pitch... Is this normal for non genuine dampers? I was thinking of sticking the bushes on the lathe to open them out but they...

Saw you about half an hour ago... that must make it 20 odd 172/182's in Redditch/Studley & Alcester area!

I might be a numpty asking this, but.... If I were to re-design an induction system, does it matter if the air filter is before or after the butterfly valve? If there is a big enough chamber after the filter, will it be the same as per standard airbox? This is non ITB setup btw. Cheers :) Mike

Just gauging people’s opinions and experience on using the stuff. We will either get the rigid nimbus stuff or adhesive fabric. Our existing bulkhead “carpet” was all burnt and covered in oil when we had the engine problem, looking for the best solution for our track car. Not bothered about...

White wheels, and stickers on front bumper...

Passed me 7pm last night :)

Well know on here from the project thread lol. Would hate to drive the rusty old bucket in a hail stone shower lol. :p

Anyone come accross this link before or know more info on the engine? Have I been hiding under a rock for so long? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2B5Lkp0Au8&feature=related Looks bang tidy!

Any tips/advice on what needs to be done to do a proper job on this? I've cleaned and had the cam cover dipped in work. I think I've read somewhere that you need to key in and primer even with VHT paint? On a slight side note, I can only find black, red and grey crackle paint, anyone know where...

Anyone done any 3D parts for this engine? I think I've seen some stuff done from one of the supercharger tuners on here... Just curious what people have done and to what detail. If anyone has done and 3D parts with accurate detail, please PM me. As of next week I will be cleaning up parts from...
