Ok, so apparently they are still available, but they're £10 each, any know if other bolts of the same size will do the job?

Finally got all the parts to get on with this now, had a look yesterday to see what I've got to contend with...The bolts that join the shock to the hub don't look great, anyone know if you can still get these anywhere, or worth swapping the top 2 for camber bolts?

@imprezaworks no I’m not doing many miles in it, it’s just turned into a weekend toy now and the occasional commute to work when the daily has no fuel in it. I’ll look into inner tie rods, I don’t think they’ve been replaced. Just going to bit the bullet and get new wishbones

Cheers @ZachB Yeah I was going to get OEM wishbones. Seen the ones on eBay for £30 for a pair, would rather they didn’t snap when I’m going round a corner. Was only going to change the ARB because my other one looks a bit tatty, but it’s still perfectly functional. I’ll look into solid...

Hi guys I’m going to re do the suspension on my 172 cup soon. I’ve got new front shocks to go on, rear shocks we’re changed not long ago and are still in decent condition. Got a set of cooksports coming next week as well, and I’m going to get some new top mounts (undecided on OEM or solid) I’m...

Got home from work to find a puddle under my car, there were some drops of coolant around the bottom radiator hose, but no where near enough to drain the tank. I've filled it back up, ran the engine for a bit and a couple of drops came out, but barely anything. I left a tub under the car it over...

It's them coolant thieves! I'll have a through check when i get home later

I'll check around all the new hoses again to see if there's any leaks, already checked 3 times, pretty sure there is't

So it's just coincidence that this has only started happening since i changed the coolant system?

I've had some developments with this..... I re bled the system as suggested before and it seemed OK, but my cars been off the road for a few weeks, due to waiting for parts, painting stuff, etc. I've been driving it for the past few days and it was running fine, temps were all OK. Checked my...

Never had an EML, I've lived with it for like a year and a half, just more curious to what it was more than anything, seems like its nothing to worry about though

Remap was my next thought

Fuel consumption is fine, I can get 46mpg on the motorway It's got new spark plugs as well, fo got to mention that, not changed the injectors. Nah I've been swapping stuff gradually anyways, pretty much all that stuff needed replacing, a lot of it had been on the car for 16 years

Hi, I've had a persistent problem with my car, on a cold start, if I bring the revs up to 1800-2000rpm the engine judders quite badly and when I drive it holds back around those revs, but above and below those revs its fine. Once it's up to temperature, it's completely fine. I've changed: -...

Cheers guys

What’s the fix? Does the inlet need tightening a bit more?

I've done a bit of work to my 172 cup over the past few weeks, finally got it back together today but it's got a ridiculously loud squeak coming from the engine bay, it's also idling around 2,000 rpm. I've had my plenum, coil pack, upper engine mount, fuel rail and throttle body off, I've also...

The same now....meaning they didn't used to be?

Can anyone tell me if the wishbones are the same on the cup as the normal 172 and the 182? I'm slowly buying all the parts to replace all of my front suspension on my 172 cup and I need new wishbones next, I've tried asking Ktec as they have a set on there but I've had no response.

@Brigsy cheers. I’ll try that

Just had a go at bleeding again. How far am I meant to take the bleed screw out? Had to stop as the engine was getting too hot. Took the screw out about 10mm. Surely it’s not meant to come all the way out?

I'll bleed it again if I get time this week or at the weekend, hopefully that will sort it. Cheers!!!

@imprezaworks probably about 10-15mins

@JamesBryan I'll try that at the weekend, better doing this with the expansion cap on or off?

@imprezaworks I left it running with the cap off when i first topped it up, worth doing it again? @Amos91 I've not re-opened the bleeder, no, I'll try that, yeah the heaters work fine.

So I changed the coolant system on my 172 cup a few weeks ago, new radiator, new expansion tank and new silicone hoses, I put just over 5 litres of Type D coolant in and pretty sure I got all the air out of the system. Since then my coolant level has been all over the place, It was just under...

Mines genuine as far as I know, I don't think its ever been changed, I'll have to get it off and have it look. I've heard grinding the pipes off will increase how much they give you for it, less for work for them to do apparently, anyone know if it's worth doing?

yeah prices seem to be all over the place. DrR, the centre section flange is pretty rusty and leaks pretty badly, I wouldn't sell it

I'm about to take my old cat off my 172, it still works, I'm just swapping it for a sports cat, does anyone know what kinda prices people are getting from them scrap value? My local scrap yard said they'd take it and pay me for it, but I've no idea if what they offer will be a decent price or...

So I went ahead and ordered a Nissens 63768, the company I ordered it from messaged me asking for my reg and if I had air con or not. They replied saying this radiator was incorrect and would not fit, so wouldn't sell it to me. They then said that the part number for the radiator I need is...
