Same here :( engine + gearbox oil change, plugs, tyres, camber bolts and alignment. Its my 30th next weekend so will doubt much will get done on it.
I'll get the oils changed first. If I don't get chance do the tyres, I'll just have to put up with them on track
Try putting a post up in the "wanted" section, for the parts that you want. Someone will have some knocking about, or have a look through the many threads in the for sale section of cars being broken for parts
I took my last 172 for an MOT and got an advisory for rear pads being low.
I'd changed them the week before.
I don't think rear pads come with much meat on them from new do they? So maybe the tester just assumed they were low?
I can do it for you if ya want. In fact, I've got a spare climate panel that I could do to whatever colours you fancy. I've done my own with white backlit buttons, and a blue screen. Looks loads better than the standard orange, and the blue/white theme matches my alpine stereo perfectly
This.
I got someone to push down on the hub until I could slide a screwdriver into one of the holes, and then used the screwdriver to lever the strut so that I could get a bolt in the other hole.
Oh and make sure both front wheels are off the ground
I've done around 1000 miles with my powerflex on now. You can tell its there on start up, but once running its fine. No excessive vibrations, and still feels 100% better than OEM
