I thought it was only W and a few X reg, my Y was steel

Alloy bonnet was only on the very early Ph1's, most are run of the mill steel

The cable throttle you mean? I agree it is a bit more connected, other than that though they are the same car and feel identical to me

This sounds very much like my symptoms which this weekend I discovered was a poor connection on the precat lambda plug

Thanks Steve that confirms my thoughts. Any real need for anything other than the bearing though?

I'm going to order new cup shocks and Grams springs for my 172 but have a question I want clarifying. I will be replacing the top mounts and have been well and truly confused by all the reading I've done, would I be right in saying either just order Febi mounts or just the bearing and reuse all...

Such a good feeling to finally resolve it

Ha! Solved it! Ran another scan and the pre cat lambda is coming up AGAIN so remembering reading @bloke it think it was saying about corroded plugs on lambdas I jacked it up and removed my new lambda plug and there it was, after all this time! The loom plug was slightly corroded but more...

I've also had this code, deleted it and it's not returned

New coil New genuine lambda Cleaned plugs Cleaned up all relays and plugs in the fuse box Run a compression test

88k Steve, I only bought it in November but it's not as tidy as I'd like with a few dings and scratches that I didn't notice as I stupidly bought it on a wet day when it looked far more tidy. I think my only option is to make it run well whether I keep it or not

Coil changed but no difference! Not sure I've mentioned this but if I unplug any one injector when the cars running rough you can tell it goes down to three cylinders, when I plug it back in for a few seconds it runs sweet again before returning to running rough. When running the dash...

Well I've found the problem, although that serial number comes back as radio code 1905 I noticed there was a code written on the radio itself in faded marker. Entered 1849 and bingo radio works, shame about the engine not playing ball

I'd be quite happy if that's all it is

Yes that's the video, balls'd it right up didn't he! I've had the plugs out a few times over the last few weeks so I forget their original condition but it wasn't very alarming from memory. The injectors are rough to say the least, man they took some removing, ended up taking the clips off to...

Just to add the dash diagnostics trick showed a t for injector fault which reappeared after being cleared

That would be so much better, at least I'd know. The only time I've had an injector issue before was a straight up failure on my 182

No I've not tried that, I have watched a guy on YouTube whos 172 passed the spray test and ohms but still had a faulty injector. My injectors look rough to be fair

@bloke, retested with all plugs out and a tighter seal on the compression tester (Sykes Pikavant) and got these results - 165 165 170 175 are they acceptable Also removed fuel rail and did an injector flow test, all four produced equal spray pattern. While off I removed all injectors as...

Hahaaa! Happy New Year to you too!

I've got coil and leads coming this week in the hope that throwing parts at it will help. To think just over a year ago I had an immaculate arctic blue 182 that I sold when I fell out of love with it

Where are you from Steve?

Anyone near Herefordshire fancy a few beers while looking at this thing

I'll retest it again tomorrow just to confirm and try a wet test and injector spray test while I'm at it. I was so looking forward to having a 1*2 again but this has left me high and dry with no hope of getting another if this is scrap

Can't remember the brand of tester as I borrowed it, but no injectors unplugged

Thanks mate, my compression isn't too much to worry about then?

Possibly, unfortunately I live pretty really in Herefordshire but that may be my best bet

Ah thanks @bloke , that's put my mind at rest a bit, on Cliosport owners in Facebook I was told it could be toast. What do you make of my poor running, I've replace pre cat lambda as it came up as faulty on my reader.

Today - did a compression test Tomorrow- check insurance policy and put a match to it
