Hi I have a mk1 172. I would like to lower the car a little (25mm?) and also eliminate a little roll. Firstly if I do this, do you have to have the camber angle set after Secondly what is the best setup/package available and how much Many Thanks for any info:D

Hmmm, sounds like the pedal linkage itself. or perhaps the cable has become trapped spmewhere. Hard to tell without looking, but the dfact the bonnet wouldnt shut indicates that mybe the cable is preventing this, try following it through. You could diconnect the cable from pedal end and chack...

yeah, defo get one!! They wont stop a determined pro, but as already said, it will make your average turd think twice as its another thing they will have to overcome. Otherwise, with no vi deterent, they could brake in, f8ck everything up having a go then vclear off leaving you with a load...

Firstly, do mk2 172 tail lights fit the mk 1? If so anyone selling? ....not to expensive though, bit skint :(

Hmmm, look good on the car mate. are the awkward to fit? Thanks for the photos;)

....that guy who put his willy 3 on ebay. Had 13k on it etc etc...well i spoke to him the other week. He wants 10k. Sounded like a bit of geezer too. He said the bonnet and front bumper would need painting too!:cry:

no marks with 80k odd - must have had a lot of paint? - would do some digging. Check the usual panel alignment, rear arch filler etc etc.

those carbon fibre doors pillar covers - what do you think? look niceish - but 100 quid?

Hey!! I,ve sold my mk2 172 and bought a low milage Mk1!! Im really made up with it too. Feels slightly different to Mk2 - a little more involving and raw. Not a massive difference but feels better to me(well he would say that wouldnt he) Also the driving position seems a touch better, I...

I think that the rad fitment is the last option. There could be a number of things to explain this. First thing to do is check the fluid level. Then if ok leave the car idling after a hard drive and check that the temp returns to normal and the fan kicks in and out. If the fan works and...

I need to replace these on a car - the ones on are not original. Does anyone know if you can get genuine replacements - if so how much? And one other thig, could some kind geezer please take a snap of the side and rear of their car, so i can put them on in the right place - Thanks a...

hi been looking a williams 3 today with my mate whos been after one for ages. The only thing amiss is there seems to be a droning noise when driving. it is there all the time and the magnitude of such is proportional to the speed. It is there all the time even when you slip it out of gear...

On the MK1s are they all ltd edition and do they all have a plaque on the dash. How much are they worth, in good nick obviously hehe Is there anything to look out for, problem areas etc? Thanks

lol...you know what i meant fu*kpig!!

Oil change not esential, however when all components are bedding in, the metal that beds in is ground away due to the contacting nature of the engine internals. This metal is then in very fine form and is contained within the oil. Changing the oil after the bedding in will remove this and ensure...

Mate, Im a chartered Engineer and have an opinion on your question: With the running in issue, indeed all engines are benchtested - this proves they work and have no untoward noises, vibration etc etc If you are dying to rag it from new then do so - its not going to ruin the engine. If...

xtrem, xtreme xtreme, please read the initial post, it says that there is no attempt to dis any cup owners. I am allowed to state my opinion and do so without the concern of upsetting any touchy types. Imerely commented on my view. This is a discussion forum after all, I people cannot state...

why? it holds 6 and works fine? what more do you want from a changer

true mate. however they seemed a little less firm to me - probably as the leather gives less than cloth when a load is applied
