My cup brake light isn't working, I've dissassembled it and all looks ok with continuity on all leds, resistors but not on the plug terminals. I know nothing about electrics but surely there should be? With these now unavailable I'm not prepared to write it off just yet.
Any ideas?
Anyone ever got a clio bonnet delivered? I'm looking at a flamer red one pretty much the other end of the country which makes collecting it unfeasable.
I thought I had an injector fault when my 172 was running rough, turned out it was a dodgy connection on the precat lambda plug. Just a thought as they are prone to getting damp where they are.
Fitted the missing front bumper splash guard/support thingy, bumper sits better now. While up in the air I put washers on the gearbox end of my polybushed dogbone, again a missing item!
Just need to get the brake light working on my cup spoiler.
Fitted my second-hand powerflex dogbone and have realised it should have had two large washers on the gearbox mount end, thankfully I've only done 5 miles. What size and thickness should they be?
I'm actually not sure, it does work by the switch though. I'll check tomorrow but what would that mean if it's working when unlocking? Dodgy door switches seems unlikely for both sides to go
I commented on this on Facebook, looks very tidy! Doesn't look like there's anything wrong with the paintwork in those pics. I've replaced the shocks on my new Flamer with cup shocks and Grams springs with new rainsport 3s - quite a difference! I'm in need of a bonnet and a bit of pdr even then...
I wonder if the previous owner didn't put the rear disc spacers back when they changed the discs, is there an easy way to check or is simply a case of removing the disc?
My 172 has a loud bearing hum from about 40mph onwards that I can't locate the source of. I've tried jacking up each corner and spinning the wheel to listen for it as well as holding the spring to feel for and vibration.
Any other tips to find out which ones gone short of taking it to a garage?
