^ Also illegal here, IIRC. Policing it isn't easy, though.

The ones shown above are correct.

Front pads have the butterfly clip that presses against the caliper to keep the pads seated. Rear ones have a metal wire that bends round to hold them in, as well as the sliding bar, iirc.

Calm down, pal. You seem to have a royal stick up your arse over the last few days. Pretty much every post is trying to rip people for something you don't have much idea about.

Ph1 172 use ones without a butterfly clip, iirc. I'm not sure if they changed since then, though.

Pretty much, most people on here will tellyou to keep it standard and save the money you'd spend on mods saving for something faster/upgraded! Oh, and FFS don't crash. I did and I'm still paying for it, lol.

LOL. Mega-fail.

£15 off here, second hand I paid.

Looks a tidy little example. http://www.106owners.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=1597721#post1597721

Take off the oil cap and check underneath. If there's an mayonaisey liquid on the cap, it sounds like headgasket. Not too common on 172's though..

Weird. Checked the oil cap for mayo-like gunk? Any loss in performance?

172 saw down Free Prae Road, looked nice. And the Williams was down Little Green lane, absolutely filthy. Looked awesome! :cool:

Floodlights FTW.

Tbh, a machine polish is the way to go if you want to get rid of the swirls. You'll have arms like Popeye if you manage to lose them by hand.

Quite pricey, but the pitches are bigger, too. You could comfortably play 6 a side making it less than £5 each.. Just doing my weekly pizza and beer warm up. Win.

I use Farecla G3 from memory for the worst of the marks. Watch out though, it's f**king vicious!

We've got to make the games five minutes long or something next time there's three teams. Oh and hurry the eff up picking teams. 20 minutes easily wasted there. Roll on the next few weeks, we should play outside! Egham leisure centre have outside courts, but they're a bit more money. About £50...

I'd strip the caliper down and clean it properly. Grease up the sliders and try it again..

Saw a TB'd GTi-6 engine that Sandy built. My god. Work of art. I'll try and dig out the pics. EDIT:

John normally brings four from memory? Tom, Jimbo and Messy?

£20 for two courses? Sounds fine to me.

Looks awesome, that second pic.

LOL. Bring her along, Vish.. 1. Vish 2. Budgie. No Bigman the tank engine this week, so you guys can relax on the ball. (;

VTS out of the question? If not, you can do all of this for less than £3k, probably!

Top marks. Getting it back in's the hard part, lol. Make sure the clutch is centralised before you put the box back on, too.

Right, make sure you've got the engine supported from underneath. Then undo the three bolts in the top picture. That will detach the lower half of the mount from the gearbox. There's also 2 or 3 bolts which hold the top half of the mount to the car. Undo those and remove the mount. Then...

Exactly. I asked all the same questions when i did mine. I didn't worry about undoing the middle bolts. I just removed the whole mount. Much easier. There's 3 bolts holding it to the box, and three to the car itself, iirc.. Once that's out it gives you shitloads more room to move the box...

You undo the nut, and the stud/bolt stays in the head. Helps locate the gearbox. There's one on the other side, too. Once you've undone all the bolts securing it, the box won't fall off because of the two studs holding it in place.. Getting it back on is the hard part. (;

^I'm not sure the ones in the top pic need removing. One of them looks like the bolts that hold the bellhousing to the box itself?
