For quite a few months, I'd been keeping my eyes peeled for something I could buy, which looks completeley standard, and a bit of a POS, with a view to dropping in a decent engine, bigger/uprated brakes, and some decent suspension. Whilst perusing the 106OC, someone in Farnham posted up a for...

I'm going to have a look at a second hand engine this weekend. From a Saxo VTS. I'm aware of the basics, but what can I look out for? Obviously I'll make sure it turns over by hand. Anything else?

Looking nice, whoever it is! Strange though, as nobody ever drives down my road. :cool:

Probably quite a simple one.. Sony Vaio PC, a few years old. Running XP. When I click start and shut down, nothing happens.. Any ideas at all guys? If I hold the power button down, it turns off fine, and doesn't give any error messages upon start up.. :cool:

Right, a weird one. On a 1997 Nissan Almera 1.4 (weapon.) When driving sometimes, the brake pedal goes tight (exactly the same as when you pump the pedal without the engine running.) and the front left brake sticks on.. I can't work out why.. It's only when the engine's hot, and in...

Going round the roundabout near the Castle path.. Looking good. Anyone?

RB 197 with the number plate S111NYO. Or something like that... Any takers?

Anyone on here?

Parked up in the Full Monty Cafe this morning.. Anyone?!

Well, just a minute ago at the halfway.. Looking good. HID's a-blazing.

Between the M25 and Ripley. Utterly spotless! Anyone?

As above.. Anyone?

Coming from St Peters Hospital, over both duel carrageways. Looking good, if not a bit dirty!

As above, really. Looking good. Ang, is it?

I'm addicted to Brickbreaker on the Blackberry. Love it. Anybody got any decent high scores? Mine's 12680, sweaty hands ftl. :dapprove:

Driving past Salesian School on Guildford road. Slightly lowered. Looking tidy!

Driving past Gordon's school this morning. Gorgeous.

The pipe at the front left of the engine bay that goes into the fuel rail? Has a split where it joins. Anyone know the part code? Where does it go at the other end? I'll upload pics later if anyone needs..

For the starter motor on a Ph1 172.. Red wire to the copper nut on top of the motor, spade connector where it goes and black wire earthed to gearbox? Correct way round?

Right then. I've just changed the gearbox in my Ph1 172 and the fecking thing won't start. It's been apart for about six weeks in all, with the battery and everything off. I've put it all together, and tried to start it. The first time, the starter motor clicked, but the starter's not...

I'm mid-swap in my gearbox change. I've got the old box out, and a new one ready to go back in, but getting the old one out was a f**king nightmare! How easy is it to drop the subframe? I've dropped it a few inches, but want to see hoe easy it'll be to drop to the floor?

Right, so I'm changing my gearbox, as per benp's guide. Do I need to change the gasket between the cat and the centre section? Also, the plenum was sealed with some sort of black rubber.. What's the score? Do I need to replace the sealant, or will the old stuff still be good? Cheers...

In the petrol station by walton bridge. Gorgeous.

So, I know that the ph1 garbox has a speedo sensor and the ph2 uses the abs to work the speedo. Is there anyway of adapting a Ph2 gearbox to accomadate the sensor? Or could I get my speedo working using the abs ring too? What would I need?

Just wondering quickly and looking at all my options (or non-options). Would I be able to get a GTi-6 gearbox to fit my Ph1 172 if I was to adapt the bellhousing, or somthing similar? They're cheap as chips, bullet-proof and readily available. All the things a Ph1 'box isn't! That's if the...

Everytime I move the steering wheel anymore than 6" on the Almera I'm using, I get a horrible groaning/rubbing noise. It's not rubbing on the arches anywhere- I've checked. It only really happens when the engine is idling, like if i'm parking or 3point turning, but if i keep the revs up a...

Anyone?

Where do I find my chassis number? Stamped somewhere under the bonnet?

Both parked in Leapale road carpark, last night. '03 plate 172, looking good, if not a little dirty! RB 182 with stripes, looking immaculate. Monkey on the dash- win. Anyone?

I'm looking to buy a rebuild kit for a Ph1 172 'box. What's the gearbox code? I'm leaning towards this one for some reason: http://www.transmission-rebuild-kits.co.uk/gearbox-rebuild-p-1046.html?osCsid=d01611a4c8788e02301d41a64d881684 Anyone?
