spotted a decent enough looking Monaco 172 at mainline ford dismantles in Sawley, Derby. Up on a rack with most if not all bodywork, lights etc still attached.
Might be worth a look if anyone in the area needs anything.
Hi
If I was to sell a car to a foreign national (French) then what do i do? Obviously apart from checking it's not a scam and the money is real.
There is no information on the 'excellent' dvla website and the v5 says nothing about it apart from personal exports. I'm reading old posts on forums...
As above. Anyone fancy fitting some springs to a Clio 172 for beer tokens please? Needs to be local to Cannock/stafford ideally as fitting it around work/family etc.
I can't do it with my limited tools and don't want to pay a garage a fortune to fit them.
Thanks in advance.
As above, anyone local able to get a wheel bolt out please? The head snapped off and left it in the hub.
Also can't get the disc off because the retaining screw is rounded. I've tried drilling but can't do it.
Thanks
Should the car die if you unplug the map sensor while it is running? I unplugged mine (ph2 172) and the car cut out. Is that normal or does that mean it's not working properly?
Hi all.
The shed I've just bought has got a misfire, which is not setting off the eml (it is working, checked at ignition turn on)
I was looking yesterday and noticed the exhaust has a leak at cat joint and also at back box joint (pattern exhaust)
I checked all leads were on the coil right and...
Hi all
If I need to replace my rear axle, can it be swapped for another one without having to beeld the brakes etc?
The rear discs each look bolted to the axle on square backing plates, can these be just unbolted as a whole and fitted on the new beam?
Does everything else just unclip?
Thanks
Whilst undoing my rear shocks the drivers bolt snapped off almost flat with the axle. I have attempted to drill it out, even with a hss drill bit this was useless.
I now have a car that is off the road, and need to get it back working.
Can anyone help me with ideas please, preferably without...
Right, I'm a bit of an idiot but here goes.
I went out, jacked up my car (ph2 172) put axle stands under and began to change my dogbone mount for a powerflex one. I could undo the big end easily but the gearbox end wouldn't budge. I was Using all my strength and it just wouldn't budge. How on...
Hi
i drove my car, turned it off, started fine and moved it a short distance, Turned the car off, go to start it again and won't start. It is cranking 4-5 times and then stopping. No amount of attempts will get it started.
The dash lights up as so when it is cranking but not firing.
Please...
Hi,
I've searched and searched (probably still missed it) but I'm looking for pictures of a std 172 on 172 cup shocks and springs.
Looking at whether it's be a worthwhile thing to do, instead of going full setup like coilovers or cooksports
The reason I ask is that cups always look higher at the...
So after many cars since my last rs, a 182, here I am back in the fold again.
This time with a 2003 172.
Has a few issues that I need to sort, abs serv and tcs lights on, an earth problem with the rear lights, a stupid alarm and generally some tidying up, but apart from that I love it.
She...
Hi all
On an imported 172 that has a hideously annoying alarm fitted, meaning the key fob button doesn't do anything and it's all down with the additional fob. Is there a way to remove this and replace the uch with a uk one (keys and locks etc) meaning that the fob would work the locks and...
Hi,
Is the bonnet alarm switch the same as the doors? Mine had broken and I need another? Or i read on here about bringing the connectors, but it didn't say what with. Has anyone got any ideas please?
Thanks
