could be battery, check the immobiliser light on the clocks does it flash differently to when you turn the key and it start, it should flash faster when you put the key in to say the code reader around the barrel is reading the key, if carrys on flashing as it would when it standing then it isnt...
you will probably find its the bushes on the dogbone mount, i had same knocking noise when booting it, changed the bushes to the ktec uprated ones and never had the problem since, didnt evn have excessive vibration either.
i think the steering lock gone on me car, its an 07 197 sport with the optional key card and engine start button, you can hear the lock click when you start and pull the card out when you turn the engine off but steering wheel wont lock, has any one had this problem on there 197, cheers ryan
what exhaust do you guys recommend for a 197 sport, want performance, not loud, arent sure whether i want it looking standard or crome rolled inward ends like the miltek one. what are yozza exhuast like
there was also a few scoobys with us and me mates m3, the m3 lost 70bhp down to the wheels and the scoobys were losing between 80 - 160bhp depending on how much power they kicked out, 160bhp being the most powerful at 405bhp atf, the rollers at powerstation are a maha ram 3000, they any good then
when i had my 172 tested at shifnal, it was 181atf and 153atw, but my 197 is far quicker than me old 172. the only thing i could probably do it take it to place i took me old 172 to and then i can compare

took my 197 on the rollers the weekend, got 199.6 bhp @the flywheel 150 lb of torque, 130bhp @ the wheels, pretty chuffed with the results, got it done at powerstation. my cars standard with igt panel filter no remap. what your opinions.

i found when i went to halfords, looked through the book for the fog light bulb for my 172, got home took the fog bulb out and found that it was completely different to the ones i brought, found the bulb later in halfords, it wasnt marked up for anything in particular and it was just normal, you...
