Cheers mate.

A few years ago BTM Fred did my belts and removed the aircon as it was broke, I need to change the aux belt as it's a bit frayed but on inspection I discovered he'd used a 1640 belt, the only belts GSF do for my 172 are 1125 1130 & 1660. They do sell a 1640 but they're for Audi's and BMW's...

If you car's drive by wire (the pedal sends a signal to the engine) they'll be a plug at the top of the pedal, you'll have to get in the footwell and have a look for a wire that plugs into the top of the accelerator pedal. If your car's fly by wire (the pedal's connected to the engine by a...

Mine has brought up the electrical fault light twice and gone into limp mode, everytime it's because i've knocked the accelerator plug with my foot, so I unplug it, makes sure there's no crap on the plug or in the socket, plug it back in and the light's gone and the car works fine, plugged it...

Some sort of classic car show at the nec today, loads of old stuff knocking about, but this mk1 Astra GTE caught my eye, the thing was immaculate.

Could he not get that amount of power of it without it looking like a bag of shite?

F*cking pot kettle!

Anything 80's/90's is rocketing in price, if you've got the money and storage space they're great investments.

WTAF!!! We could have had a whip round and raised that within a day.

How much did you sell it for?

Yeah it's not your fault Akay, it was beyond saving because of previous owners mistreating it, if it's anyone's fault it's McGherkin's for essentially taking the clubs trusted Golden Retriever to the rescue centre and letting any old f*ker take it, you ruined CS Callum!

German's love a denim jacket, it's like they're all stuck in the 80's.

Another possibility is a sticking rear calliper, so when you release the handbrake it's not releasing enough for the light to go out.

I had this, topped the fluid up and it went away, but changed the pads soon after and when I pushed the piston back in fluid overflowed out the bottle and the light came back but this time it flickered depending on whether I was accelerating, braking, or pointing up or downhill, then the other...

More of a garage episode this one, most of it is them rebuilding an engine and trying to bring it back to life, also no Finnigan this month.

Yep, i've not found any on mine, which means it doesn't have any. (in my mind)

You ruined CS.

Lets blame McGerkin, it all went wrong after he sold it.

Yeah but when new owners have no emotional attachment to the car it just becomes a collection of parts worth a certain amount of money, rather than a potential money pit that at the end will still be worth the same amount in parts. If I bought another Clio with half the problems mine has i'd...

That's why i'll never sell the dog kennel, I couldn't bear someone ruining it, crashing it, or breaking it for parts, even though i've fell out with my car atm and can't wait until i've saved enough for a decent new daily, the Clio will remain with me and worked on as a project track car. Not...

F*cking better be I haven't paid for a ticket yet.

Like putting down the family dog.

That f*cking maniac better show up this year!

Ah it was you I spoke to about them before and we came to the conclusion that fuel is alot cheaper in Canada. lol

I was considering one of these, but the interior is very dated Jap plastic and i'm told they drink a fair bit compared to an Impreza, but cheap twin turbo with loads of room for an Alsation is still tempting.

If I had the money, one of these would be my next daily.

Today I have changed the spark plugs and put 2 new hand brake cables on, and by 'I' I mean @HMS Derv Destroyer, while I held the torch.

Nice one, that makes things easier.

I need to change my steering rack, but not sure if all 172 racks are the same, is there a difference between PH1 & PH2? Or are they all just SMI racks and interchangeable?
