Its the slider which is sticking, take the caiper off, then the slider bolt which the caliper bolts to with the rubber cover on it you need to lubricate it. Pull it out oif you want making sure you don't damage the rubber cover and grease/lube the pin up and stick in back together again.
Yep or you'll hear it.
Chnage it at 50k? Should have just leaft it till just before the warently ran out and got it done them at worst ot left it till 60k.
Thats a lot of miles though being as your what 2 minutes from work.
Nice easy drive to work then for you.
I agree I've only had ABS kick in a few time bit much like airbags I've only had them kick in once but nice to know there there.
Do you work down in that complex bit down by Hampton roundabout? Just recognised the road.
It might not be needed and the mian reaosn for its use might be the reaosn for our pourer driving now adas but I'd have paid for it on my car for early moring/late nigh driving for the aditional safety...
Re: whater springs for 172
Shocks wear all the time life span isn't easy to prove.
I worn mine out in about 50k and thats on stock springs but they were still fine until 70k when i chnaged them they just were noticbably (to me) not as good as new.
Spax don't do a 182 kit they don't realise (like most com[anies) that the 172 stuff isn't the same you can modify it to fit just like all 172 stuff.
But forget Spax like the plague its useless rear dmapers fail ever month or so I went though 6 sets in as many month I think.
Personally air con for me isn't good its just expensive to fix.
Zeons are nice
ABS is worth.
Depends what you want to do with the car I'd personally take a full fat for what I want a Cup would be if I did more driving in daylight and did less miles.
If you got dirty in it the system would completly crash, new engine time if you get dirty in the system thats why there so mad on cleanlyness.
You must have some sort of fault logged are you running low on fuel driving full throttle what rpm?
Earthing leads are my best bet.
Up to you, might as well see how you go with stock shocks loads of people don't care but to me dampers are an integated part of the cars suspenison and should be matched to the spring.
Yep they did.
But the 1.6 was only made in reasonably high spec anyway.
The phase 1 1.6 16V came with rear disk at some age.
I still prefere drums though much better.
Later phase 2 1.6 16V came with rear disks.
1.6 has stiffer ARB on all spec levels same as the dci 1.4 has a thicker one in most applicatiosn from memory.
Hence there not perfect.
Also seals should last longer on 4 pots. Plus pads are cheaper on 4 pots my old ones were DS2500 or so type compound and were £40 vs £85 or so for ds2500's on a 172. Once you add up say 4 sets of pads over the life you own the car thats £160 plus disk should take less...
The problem is the strut top catching you can grind it asway as per Renault do or get the 255 V6 CLio from setup which fixes the problem (its expensive) or anything to stop the rubbing.
