Just got in the car and for some reason my brake pedal switch and some random purple connector were hanging down! I put the brake pedal switch back in but don't have a clue what this purple connector that is in the same part of the loom is for?!

Does the rubber mount/washer type thing ontop of the shock come off? I have a set of replacement shocks that have no mount on the top but when I took my old shock off the car I couldn't remove it to swap it over? Any ideas?

Has anyone had this issue before where when you lift off and then put your foot back down there is a slight hesitance before the engine responds? Iv noticed this once or twice before but today more so. Any ideas? Thanks

I had a quick look earlier but I could not see how to drop the roof lining enough without damaging it? Any advice would be appreciated.

If I supply the wing. So spray it black and fit it. Rough price?

Basically it is very difficult to tune any stations in and when you finally do get a "fix" on a frequency it just goes on and off as you drive. Very annoying, I don't like listening to CD's constantly. Any ideas?

Juts wondering if it will hold up to the temps? I will be using it post-cat so shouldn't cause problems for the 02 sensors. Anyone done this before? Only asking because I went into halfords earlier and they didn't stock any high temp stuff. Patrick

As above really. With the ignition on, engine off, the throttle body is making a fairly loud noise/whine which doesn't sound healthy. Good or bad? Patrick edit: Oh and also, with ignition on, there is a sound that I can only describe as an old school printer going on around by the drivers...

Ok, so the car is having limp mode issues. The guy I bought the car from (davesport172) told me about this before I bought the car. He said that once in a while the engine management light (heartbeat monitor) would come on an dcar would limp, quick restart of car would see it off again. So...

Just wondered if I was to call out the AA over my limp mode issues would they be able to plug in and see the fault codes? Patrick

I need a new cat back exhaust and ideally wanted standard but its very expensive, so are there any after-market exhaust that are worth buying but are NOT loud. I really don't want anything that is going to piss me off on the motorway, my old car used to drive me mad! Any recommendations and...

I need a new centre and back box for my ph2 172. Anyone know a place to get decent parts at a good price?

When they attach to the hubs, are the "bolts"/stud meant to go up through the hub with the nut on top or should it go down through the hub with the nut underneath? Does that make sense? And before you say "swap them how they are", I want to check the garage I got to change them has done them...

Gave it a clean last week so took a few pics the other day in anticipation of selling it :dapprove: Excuse the "sport" badge, still havnt got around to removing it after previous owner put it on there :o (I suppose at least it is an F4R now!)

Post up links (high res where possible) to your desktop backgrounds. Im looking for something new! :cool: I remember seeing an awesome picture of a porsche spitting our flames somewhere before (waitey?) I would love a link to that! My current background is my old hybrid:

Ok, I just took some measurements From the hub face to the front (face of the wheel) is 70mm, from the hub face to the inside (hidden side) rim of the wheel is 140mm and the ditance from front to back rim is 210mm Can someone please tell me the ET? Im confused! :o

Neither of them local to me can supply me with a set of wishbones! I cant really think of any other decent suppliers as these are the only 2 I ever use!

Basically I want to lower my Mk1 subframe by 5mm all around, or even just at the rear if possible. Can anyone tell me if this is not advisable and give reason as to why not? Thanks

I dont have the tiem to get to renault to get new coolant. Any ideas if I can use something else that GSF or halfords will stock? I would preferably like a nice rec coolant :o Patrick

Looking for something for my bedroom wall to get my xbox hooked up to ready for the new Cod :cool: I am looking to spend £200 or less preferably nearer the £150 mark. Anyone know of anything decent out there? Thanks Patrick

I am trying to buy 1 from someone breaking a car but they dont have a clue where (or what :rasp:) it is! Can someone please give me an idea where it is and how to remove it? Thanks!

I had my manifold fitted last week but didnt use the proper fitting kit, just bolts and washers. Is this likely to cause any problems?

I tried to fill it and bleed it tonight but It doesn't seem to want to play ball! Any tips for best way to do it? Edit: Oh its a 172 engine btw!

http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/Accessories/Lubricants-and-Fluids/Tranmission-Oils/Transmission-Oil/?522770572&0&cc5_309 Any good? Also how much will I need to fill a drained system?

I am trying to locate what my non-starting problem is on my car, I have a feeling it is the ECU immobiliser kicking in. When I turn the ignition I have no power to fuel pump and no spark when I crank the engine over (the starter motor works fine) . I was thinking that perhaps even with the...

Basically I had my ECU unlocked and an emulator fitted for my Mk1, but the car will not start and I am thinking the ECU is at fault. Would I be able to test it in a standard 172? The immobiliser pin on the ECU has been removed so the 172 key wont be able to send a message to it but the...

I am trying to work out if the very first bit that connects to the manifold is the same as a single barrel cat. Anyone got pics? Thanks
