    greasy wheel

    Its a pain to change the gaiter. If the gaiter is damaged and your selling up superglue can fix and get the stuff injected in. Otherwsie a new driveshafts so much easier to do. £20 for a new gaiter with grease and clips.

    Can Anyone Help

    Forget repairing the dampers if thats the problem new ones are ££50 and idealy you should replace both sides as once. Stupid forum made me post it three time if a page doens't load I just hit refresh and it sends the post all again.

    £5 for bulb fitting anyone?!?

    Drop me a message if you want me to do it I'm just south of Chester. Most important rule (which I forget) is to ensure bulb is cold before you remove it). Otherwise it hurts a lot.

    My new 172 with a few questions

    Rear strut brace has no advantage so unless you want it for looks get rid of it. Cup splitter need to drill holes in the bumper put it up and you'll see where the holes need to be. I'd personally sell it there worth a fortune. The holes arn't on the suspension turrets you have to drill...

    Alot of miles!

    If the cambelt fails the valves hit the pistons and damage isn't worth fixing, the best value is to buy and fit a whole new engine. Yep it sort of dies the engine powe ryou hear a nice snap and ping before hand and wonder why the car makes funny noises when you try start it.
