I'm going to do a bit more weight removal on the weekend on the 172. Couple of quick questions before I do though.
When removing the front carpet section,
how does this come away from the plastic gearbox surround? Does that plastic surround need to come off and how?
I presume for the...
Lol, that ain't that bad exhaust/caliper's going compared to some cars.
If you had the same problems on other cars with same sort of spec you'd probably be looking a heftier bill.
Chin up and wallet out, it could be a lot worse!

You'll be able to go in and pick up a quality oil filter (either genuine or mann filter depending on stock) same day too. None of this cheaper halfords rubbish.

Ah no problems matey, I told you I'd get the measurements. Only had chance to swap the wheels back over this afternoon though!
Nahh it'll be reet! I've had a car de-wipered before and it was okay, should be sound me reckons.

As a one off mod I personally wouldn't bother unless the original one is knackered, but if the car is having a few bits done at the same time it'd probably be worth it.
Aren't these manifolds quite expensive anyways?
gaz-kev - got the measurements for you today...
... from the top of the bottom adjuster ring on the coilover until the bottom of the remaining thread, you've got exactly 9cm.
that's how they came out of the box anyways.
hope that clears it up for you :)
Great little tools, well worth having one. As Henry said get one with a decent range, anything up to 150-200 nm should be enough but again check your manufacturers settings.
You'll need one anyways to correctly torque the wheel bolts back up again once you've finished.
