Lowering wont affect it fella, mines been slammed for over 2years never its done any damage, so you can rule that one out, Have you checked the driveshaft itself on the passenger side? it may have popped out abit, causing the biteing point higher,

^ speedo register's from Abs iirc,

^ he must have done something wrong then, first time ever i done a clutch on my sport whilst doing a conversion on it, and its still going strong, done over 1500 miles since its running and yet to come across a problem. So if it was easy on a sport it must be simple on a 1.2,

Are you any good with a spanner? gearbox is much easier on a 1.2 than a sport, and it was the first time i done it, so technically you should be fine. What mike said, but i did it on the floor in the back car park, only struggle i got was putting it back in, dont see the point in paying...

Good Idea, i have loads of receipts in my folder upstairs, il give it a try :o

Excellent :D Cheers Fred your a legend..

Just the man i wanted to hear from, Thanks for clearing that up fred, how easy is it to replace the gaitor? as there's a bearing on aswell ye

Im not 100% sure, this is were me knowledge goes blank, iv done the whole engine swap myself and sorted every problem but things like this im useless at. If it helps the 3 bolts line up exactly to the holes on the box, so what i think could happen is the metal bit as bent slightly, but cant...

Why dont you give Steve79 (sutt autos) a pm, he will have on and he isnt that expensive, worth a try dude. Show him this thread and what bracket it is so he knows 100% which one

How easy is it to change? because if its easily do-able myself then il give it a go, but if not il get a mate to fit it and il do assemble it all back on the car.. Do you know if the oil seal is exactly like a normal 172 one? as im running 1.2 shafts on a cup gearbox

WAW zombies was a fantastic game, but would need bigger levels tbh :)

Just take them to a garage to get them re-balanced and they will use metal strips, some garages use those clip ones as they are easily removed, and some use the strips which i think are permanent fix, unless you proper jackhammer them off

Box got filled up in January after a clutch change put about 3.5litres in, now the car has only been on the road 2 1/2 weeks and after a trip to Northwich on friday they said you have a slight leak were the passenger drive shaft enters the box, so though id top it up today just to keep on top...

^ i havnt fitted a cold air feed ;) the grunt you get it ace when you floor it but its annoying after a while imo,

Re: iPhone "must have" apps? Saw vickys post so i bought it, Omg 617 distruption in my sleep last night, i know i was dreaming about scary stuff like paranormal activity and you hear me going "what" etc in the recording, but the amount of strange noises happening is unreal. I was home alone...

Airbag light wont fail a MOT. because they cant test airbags, and also older car's dont come with airbags.. I passed mot last year with airbag lights on as i have mk1 172 seats in my car.

You might have the wrong Ohm resistors, your suppose to fit them then eletrical tape to keep them in place :)

The pin you see is to guide the box onto the engine, so you have time then to bolt the gearbox up properly, Have you snapped it or something?

There's 3 holes in the front iirc, and the middle and right hand one have bolts, you need to go right down, have you got a extender on the socket?

:o i blame the beer for that mistake, lol,

Check your brake fluid level,

for some reason 215mm comes to mind, as the 1.2 1.4 & 1.6 use the same caliper therefore 215 is stock.. dont hold me on that thouh,

There is a way to bypass the immobilisier on a ph1, First thing you need to do is get the ECU unlocked and the fit a emulator, the emulator will give a new code for the imob that allows the Ecu to fire up the car.. Loads of Mk1 boys on here have done it (f0xy,willylover etc) The above i...

Wtf they are waaaaaay to wide, how do you bolt them on with no holes? lol

Why dont you try 195/45/16 they might offer abit softer right than what you have now,

Thats how i clean my car, am i doing it wrong jason? :o

If its standard suspension it will, they all have the same layout of shocks, its just the bolt spacing thats different

Dont put it there dude, look under the car and you will see like a metal run about 2-3 wide and about 1.5m long running from the front to half way, jack it on that as its MUCH stronger .. My way apparantly is the wrong way, but its the safest way as also it doesnt bend your sill..

Theres two way's to feed the Live cable.. 1, down through the passenger wing and through the gap in the back of the wing into the car (this is how i did mine, as i didnt know any other way at the time) or 2, through the rubber gromet in the bulkhead were the bonnet release cable goes through

Check the sticker on your car if it says 727 on it then i gather thats the paint code :)
