If they've got as far as getting the resistor pack out they're only a few bolts and wiring plugs away from taking the blower motor out. Once the wipers/scuttle are removed getting either the resistor or blower motor out literally takes minutes, finding a broken wire on the other hand could be...

A heat gun and meths to clean off the remaining goo is what I used. Worked a treat.

Any ideas?

Hi guy's after a bit of advice if anyone has any idea's? My ph2 172 has developed a odd miss fire/splutter over the last couple of weeks. It doesn't happen all the time but is pretty annoying and makes me look like I can't drive properly haha. Oddly it only happens in 1st and second and if you...

I'd disagree on the cambelt front, I found it easier on a classic scooby than my 306 1.9 td! Spark plugs are a bit of an arse but not too bad once you learn the knack.

The 6 speed scooby boxes are tough, my friends 450-500bhp classic did countless launches with 1 bar of boost off the line and never seemed to grumble. The thing would launch so hard even in 2nd.

I've had Uniroyal rainsport 2s (albeit in 195/50/15) on a set of ph1 wheels since around Xmas. I originally had the wheels fitted to my mx5 and they completely transformed it, especially in the wet. I also did two trackdays on them both in the bone dry (brands and a very harsh concrete keevil)...

Poor kettle water on it and watch it disappear, its just corrosion/gunk that builds up over time.

Any ideas anyone?

So over the weekend I removed the blower motor/loom/resistor and bench tested it and it works fine, same with the washer pumps/motors. I also checked all the relays and as far as I could tell everything was ok so god knows what's up!? After doing all this checking the car now won't start...

Hi guys and gals, I picked up my first 172 yesterday and its got a couple of electrical faults. Firstly the washer jets (windscreen and lights) don't work, checked all fuses pump/ Motor doesn't make any noise is it dead? Also the heater motor doesn't work, I've read about the resistor packs...
