    I've rec'd a replacement throttle pedal, and I thought the Haynes manual covered the calibration process, it just covers the calibration of the throttle body. Can someone enlighten me please? Thanks, John

    Shaking steering wheel at 60+mph...

    First thought was obv' wheels out of balance. I had new tyres fitted on the front recently, and had eibach prolines fitted the same week. Since then the wheel's been shaking. Had the wheels balanced when the tyres where done. Went to KwikFit today cos it's local and they re-balanced the...

    Engine Probs/Revs on start Up/Won't start/Management light

    OK, I've just done a search and had a read. But I'm still uncertain what's wrong with my 172. A few weeks back I started my car and it was fine till I tried the throttle, which didn't respond. Idled normally just wouldn't respond to the throttle. Switched off and on again, all was fine. No...

    Unlocking Routers!

    I had no idea Sky locked their routers, I didn't even know routers were locked/unlocked. Today my ISP changed from $ky to Talktalk, and I couldn't connect to the net via my Netgear ($ky branded router). So I did this...

    wheel bolts wouldn't go back in!

    After 14 miles drive home I took off my O/S wheels to spray them (having sprayed the N/S last time the weather was good), 1hr or so later I put the wheels back on and the bolts wouldn't screw in. They were wanting to cross thread. So I buggered around a bit, scratched my head and then put a...

    Newton-le-Willows AGAIN just after 5, shockingly this time not in Tesco! I was behind you on my way home from the bumhole that is NLW/Earlestown. Didn't flash my lights or owt, cos I'm a bit ignorant like that. Honestly I'm not stalking you.

    Pug 106 electrical help!

    Bit of a long shot but maybe someone can help: Gf's 106 has a fault I think with the alarm relay. When the car is locked up via the fob and the alarm is armed, the indicators front and back (o/s) light, which drains the battery over time. I've read that I need to either replace the alarm...

    Yoko A539s, the worst tyres ever!!!

    Bought a set of 4 from black circles last July, since then I've put up with general understeer and just comedy handling in the wet. But for £45 a corner fitted I thought I'd got what I'd paid for. Was putting my new discs and pads on the front yesterday, and after 10-11k they're just about legal...
