The MkIII is common for it and as above, it needs a new door lock. From memory they're not actually that bad from Renault at around £60 IIRC

Time to have the actual oil pressure checked then. You are running 5w/40 aren't you?

You've kind of answered your own question really chap and ideally it needs stripping. Did you check the box oil you drained for any of the rollers?

See the edit to regarding earthing

Either a faulty thermostat or coolant temp sensor chap... mine did this recently on the RS Tuning rollers and then again at the Lincoln meet (Cup Phil was pushing my ginger ass down the road cos I kept hitting the rev limiter too early). Fixed it for Bedford though and was keeping up with the...

You got the correct dampers I assume (part numbers of new match the old?) Are you running spacers as the rubbing may be caused by the 205 tyre on the Cup rim.

Coil triggers are all in the engine bay I'm afraid but are easy to pull back from the plug

LoL - "Battle"

I personally wouldn't rid of my PB now unless it was for a really nice 172 Cup (to drop my RS2 into) but that colour looks amazeballs especially when clean (which we know Lesley likes to do). Is all the spare time going in to this now Chip for Llandow?

Any "trigger" will do which on a 172 (I believe) is any wire BUT the thick white (That's the coils +12v)

Best colour... EVER!

As above, tacho is CAN so you cannot splice the SPA into the dash loom directly. You will have to take a feed from the ignition i'm afraid but it's both easy and safe to do so. Read the SPA instructions and it will tell you what wires need to go where. Mick

Yes it could cause imob issue but its only on the lights circuit because its a common failing circuit when you consider how hard that little box has worked over the years. The UCH performs all body switching functions that you take for granted including the lights. Take it somewhere for proper...

UCH faulty... easy diagnosis. New one required I'm afraid

This last one, it looks exactly how I'd like mine; Slightly low, spaced and clean. Looks mint chap

Come to Nottingham... we do them for £371

A faulty brake switch would throw the system into safe mode and simply not let you use it again until thw ignition had been cycled off/on. Most likely going to be the rear light pins as above.

High five!

Yes, I can beat you now lol Looks very nice mate, secind the wheel colour though (I like them in silver on that colour)

£45 here... wait, no - price is now £120 because NHMS is £180 lol

Mwhahahaa busted! I once had CS laugh at my car to mate cos I fitted a tow strap for a track day. Fret not, the torture won't last too long (unless Daniel starts in which case you're fuuuuucked)

You will need to pay a garage to read the airbag ecu for codes and go from there (unless you know someone who will do it for free). Generic EODB code readers from ebay won't see the airbag ecu

Code read to find out what's wrong

They're not as bitey cold but then again they're not really for road use. That being said though, they're far from crap when cold to but I'm an early, progressive braker anyway.

DS3000's arrived and fitted today (Thanks G172)... got all week now to bed them in before Bedford on Friday

Yep that it is. Looks to have gone rogue thru the belt run and lodged itself firmly behind the waterpump sprocket. I've found some hard plastic stuff to but can't get hold of Adam at the minute to see if someone has been inside the old girl since me. For the record, the socket is not SnapOn...

Okay so I've got the car in for deconstruction and the tensioner has indeed failed and is broken on the lower mount. Are you missing something Adam? :eek:

It will be in reference to the bottom balljoint size which is (as already posted above) 12mm Dia on all Sports

No lol... your 182 is just old and worn hence it feels heavy. I promise you the new one will get heavier as it gets older also.

Yeah, I'll find some time this week to get on it before we hit Bedford on Friday. Just typical though as I only said earlier how reliable my 172 had been considering its covered 154k
