The term Full Fat really originated with the 172. You either got a lighter Cup or the heavier fully loaded 172 and it was christened Full Fat.

When they were new if it had anthracite 182 wheels it had the cup suspension pack. Slightly lower and stiffer springs. Of course 16 years later somebody could have fitted anthracite wheels or even had them refurbed in a darker colour so it's not always a given that it has cup suspension. Also...

I totally agree. I'd be put off if I knew a car had had a hard life before regardless of the condition it is in now.

I'm not knocking you if you think you can get 15k for it. If you don't ask you don't get. Just a couple of little things that I'd sort out if it was my car. The engine hoist bracket is rusty. I'd give that a rub down and spray with satin black. Plus the ecu cover looks a bit tatty. Again I'd...

I think once the material has started to fall apart it's time for the bin. Are they 50mm diameter? I can't remember off the top of my head. You could try buying something like this and reusing both ends...

I know that. But usually, from my experience anyway. If one the ABS rings was damaged or corroded to that extent it would throw up the ABS light within minutes of moving off not just when he hits 60mph. They would have been the first thing I checked just to rule them out.

ABS rings usually throw up the ABS light. You said its only got esp and serv light? @Cliomaxx69

You want a genuine Bosch lambda sensor, part number 0258006046 Yours is none genuine. If it hasn't got Bosch on the box it isn't. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303441549650

Sounds like injector if eml is flashing. The op changed everything but them and wasted his money.

I think it looks spot on now. Like I said. The drop is only very subtle, about 20mm at most and it's handles so much better. I ordered on Monday afternoon and they came Tuesday morning. I can't recommend them and Kam racing highly enough 😊

I know you said you don't want to lower it but I had this problem when I MOTd it 2 weeks ago. Mine was still on genuine cup springs I went for Grams springs. It does lower it slightly, maybe about 20 mm but I can honestly say it feels much more planted now. I wish I'd got Grams springs earlier...

If you Google the problem it seems to point to the brake pedal switch or steering wheel angle sensor...

These are supposed to fit. I saved it after somebody previously posted the link. https://vi.raptor.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemDescV4&item=333979738009&category=174019&pm=1&ds=0&t=1621445638818&cspheader=1

No longer available. Did it sell?

That's the one I bought. It was 84 quid with my trade card and Confused.com voucher. It's a good bit of kit. Heavy if you have to pick it up but moves easily on the wheels.

I made a fake wage slip and told them I was a HGV mechanic lol. The guy on the desk asked if I had a wage slip, I gave it to him and he only briefly looked at it 😜 I guess they're pretty slack and don't really check your credentials lol.

I bought a Halfords low 2 tonne profile trolley jack a few weeks ago. I've used it a few times and I'm really happy with it. I can get the car very high and get under it alot easier now than with my old knackered trolley Jack's I've had about 20 years lol. Only £86 with my £20 Confused.com...

He is taking the piss with postage. My girlfriends Polish and its quite common for Polish people to send parcels from Poland to the UK. You can send a 32kg parcel for only £16.

Bit of a strange one that as they drive on the right hand side in Japan 🤔

Nice one. Glad you're sorted now 👍

Put the stalk down into position 1, when it rains it should auto wipe. And like i said, the dial on the stalk sets the speed of the wipers. I turn mine on the fastest setting. But also how hard it rains determines how fast the wipers work. Put your key in the ignition and turn to position 1. On...

The auto wipers work when the stalk is down in position 1. The speed of the wipers is set with the dial you can see on the stalk. The square in the bottom of the window is cut out fitted from factory because the windscreen is coated . It was for French drivers who use toll roads and have...

Looks like another question / problem that gets asked then the OP never comes back on. I never get why people do that 🤔

If you haven't got a bottle with the spec of the gearbox oil on, your best bet is ask the neighbour exactly what he's given you. Better still ask him to take a pic of the label then you can upload it on here then people will be able to see if you've been given the wrong stuff. Did you have any...

Mine creaks, but only in very warm/hot weather.

Sorry just noticed I posted the rear rings. The ones that @Porl posted are the ones you want.

I can't vouch for the quality of the ones you've posted. The ones I posted have been on my car for a few years and have been spot on.

Abs ring. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130604352304?hash=item1e68a04330:g:7kUAAOSw0exaPaEG

Genuine injector. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284133172043#vi__app-cvip-panel

Stunning. Best colour for a valver.
