You use CLIP to reconfigure the SRS ECU so that it simply doesn't have the bag unit by de-configuring the trigger lines. It's not something you want to play with if you don't know what you're doing but its not an overly long process. We do it for £20 if you fancy a drive to Nottingham. Mick

Excellent, thanks for the update Simon. I'm going to need services myself soon ;)

Change the PW daily? I dont know how they do it tbh and It's annoying but if you use eBay as your main point of sale you need to make it as safe/secure for you and your customers as possible.

A "TL4" gearbox crunching between 2 and 3! I'm shocked to hear it (That's sarcasm by the way). If its not doing it now when gently selecting cogs but does it when rushed then its most likely not going to be long until its doing it all the time i'm afraid. The synchros and bearings between 3 &...

Me to: Damn, it needs a Cup spoiler lol

HID kits are set to become illegal if they ever bring out the new MOT regulations but if the car has projector lenses or if there's a beam pattern it's not going to be an issue. They should spend more money on improving driver education IMO. As most see it as a birth right rather than the...

It's difficult to say exactly without seeing it chap. They do appear to misfire at col idle anyway. As for the evap control valve issue you need to understand how the circuit works. It could be a broken wire rather than the valve itself. Mick

Face + Palm

You deffo go em in the right pins? My guess is the seats you have are equipped with lateral air bag units and the Cup units didn't so the SRS ECM is seeing them and saying "Hang on, I need configuring" and if that's the case no resistors will help you and you need someone with CLIP to...

Bored of my wheels in dark grey: so decided to go back to silver:

Sorry to thread hijack but ive got a price for them being re-trimmed. I'm sending mine in next week to be done so you can see exactly what's what. If its good I'll arrange a non-profit group buy. Mick

There's a couple if upholsterers local to me that I'm going to approach so I'll see what they can do and if they're willing at what prices.

I'm up for this to if the price is right. I'm going to see some local places to.

Post in technical chap, you won't get any help in here. Mick

Valeo only... Ever!

No more teasing, its waiting and has your name against it.

Why, what have you got now? Teehee I've got a special boost gauge waiting for you sir ;)

Today saw the start of "Operation Coops" which is removing all things dirty/old on the 172 and replacing them with new items and for the bits I can't replace, have them cleaned. Today ive done:- Coolant system flush and type-d refill with a new reservoir bottle. Vibratech mount fitted. Rear...

I nearly had this myself, its fekking amazing. Settled for a slightly lesser unit though in the end but I prefer Kenwood over Alpine. Downsides to the KiV: it has no CD player (not really a negative) but the real deal buster for me was the facia cannot be removed (ghey)

Halfords sell a Ring item for around £14... Perfect direct fit

I'll be keeping these in mind also for future ref. Simon, let me know how it gets on and who you go with.

Because everything to do with the AC equipped X65 aux belt run was compromise. This is also why the 172 Cup is simples to work on.

Remove the nuts, spray some WD40 on the splines and walk away for 5 mins. I have a tool for removing them but this normally helps penetrate and free up the century of crap that seizes em up. Mick

It varies depending on what consumers you have on but at idle I'd like to see a min of 13.8v to 14.4v

Personally I'd have it transported somewhere to be safe. The pump is a good guess but I hate diagnosing from web video shot on a mobile. If you want an updated quote with collection added let me know. Mick

Sexual wheels these. They always looked good in 17" on the Mk1's

Rear Discs - Standard Rear Pads - Motrio Equivalent (saves a few £££'s)

Not really as loads on vehicles running multi-wire CAN work this way but if you aren't used to it the concept can seem a little alien. Easiest thing to do is put your DMM in to continuity mode. Put the negative/common line to a good bit of bodywork (to establish a good earth). Then put your...
