i think you should get a straw and make her suck it out!! lol ;) u wanna padlock your bonnet. i think most hydraulic fluids absorb water reducing their performace, best get it sorted - tell her it cost 100s to fix - she will have to be really nice to make it up to you :devilish:

too right.....138mph in a Clio.....err no thanks lol, though no doubt Ill have a go. i bought the car for its acceleration, as i believe its the journey not the destination that brings joy, or something like that.

is it the "gold class" one then???? is it a one step application, or do u need to polish it with something else first?? paul.

thanks - ive been looking for polish, never really had much look finding a good un - on black cars always ended up with the dreaded swirls in sunlight.

yep its the tatton park one, its a favorite with the bikers, no side roads for myopic volvo drivers to pull out of. think i know the road u mean - heads into warrington eventually (misty memories from my mr smiths days.)

I thought that was what the little green light was for? its set a few hundred rpm below the limiter is it not. Apparently the 172 is just like one of the Tamagochi things, lighting up the green light feeds it, if u dont do it regular they die and u have to go back to reno for a reset (or so i...

watch that road into lymm off the M6 - Loads of buidingwork in the area,can get abit slippy - We were out there today looking at houses. u tried the tatton mile?? perfectly str8 for a mile, no side roads, no hiding places for our galant upholders of the law - I hit 110 in the Audi down there...

lol - i went from a 1.1 Saxo to a 172..... I didnt get a handbook at first, the Salesman said dont worry too much about running it in, just stay away from the redline for abit, the abit turned out to be 100miles in his opinion. Thrash it, its what they are made for.

its defo a wheelspin thing, I hope its the mounts because the cure is probably the cheapest. I suppose the alternative is a different suspension setup - Loadsa Money! What about Cups, are they not set up alittle differently? Do they have this problem, or is it just the lard arse 172s?

Jonathan - no offence taken at all m8 - :) i just wanna get it sorted out, I welcome all opinions cos frankly I aint got a bleedin clue - but I am sure there are plently of people on here who have.

Jonathan, My starts, which induced the afore mentioned noise, were not of the 7K variety. My Car has currently done around 450miles - I drive it hardish (when warmed up) but carefully - I get these noises when performing progressively fast starts, not rev n dumps - The noise happens on the...
