    Back wheel looks to close to arch cover

    Nearside wheel has been rubbing previously by the look of it. There has been a new caliper fitted so I don't know if the wheel has had a knock but the wheel looks original and unbuckled. Anyway the gap on the otherside is small but worse on the nearside. Could it be a poor camber setting? Was...

    One for Rich or anyone else? Colour magic and stone chips?

    Hi. I currently have Autoglym SRP, EGP, Bumper care, Vinyl care, Leather cream, Zymol shampoo, and some Colour Magic black. Now someone said since my bonnet has quite a few stone chips (ph1 miles!) I should use some Colour magic on the bonnet and then seal with EGP. Don't seem to see...

    Dogbone bottom engine mount will a Ph2 one fit on a Ph1 since it's cheaper!

    Basically the title says it all. I think I need one since then engine bangs in first (sounds near footwell) tried adjusting top mounts but still there. Apparently the ph1 one is £75 but the twisted ph2 one is £33. K Tec only do that one so I was wondering if one will fit the other. E-Mailed...

    Exhaust rattle in 1st on bumpy road about 4k

    Right. Had a new bracket for exhaust but then the middle pipe split so I got a stainless steel fitted. Thing is it rattles so I took it back to ETS. The original didn't. The guy put some more rubbers in the bracket and some tie wraps. The back box seems quite stiff now. Drove down street and...

    My ph1 172 is blowing from back box. So it's either a trip to RoadRunner or Scorpion as they are close.

    Sometimes starts then dies instantly then takes 2 secs to start. Why?

    I have a Mk2 ph1 172. I don't drive it much. 50% of time in a garage. I always give it a second to tick over and never thrash it cold. The oil is clean enough but about to change filter and oil to full synth since I don't know what the poor garage used for the service that they apparently did...

    Hi new member and just brought a 172 mk1

    Just thought I'd say hi. Wanted a 172 for ages and found this one and don't see many round like it so I got it. Plenty of mk2 around and 182s but not many mk1s in black. What you think?
