have never checked the fluid level which is why i assumed it had possibly been so low it had got air in.
the fault light has stopped coming on now but brakes still not working brilliantly.
brakes work fine as normal when you press the pedal really hard, but its spoungy before that.
not had...
coilovers would be fine thats on your cars, just maby look into different springs for them.
like ive said before on msn andy, if you want a hand doing the conversion ill help.
its ok saying go buy a 172 and sell your car etc but to be honest ive got the real deal, an absolute mint 172 ive...
needs pressed out and in, if your needing new rear disks they come with them pressed so its sometimes easyer just to change the disks (costs £200 though!)
its now throwing up that diagnostics light under the fuel light when i brake.
this is what i get for posting up a thread with the millage called "when will it die" lol
got fluid there to change it just not had the time and dont want to go do it if its something else, as it was fine 1 minute then went to brake and they were gone!
could it have sucked air in the system if fluid was low?
i usually buy them high millage then hammer a good few k on them myself, im a dept. manager with somerfield and am sent between stores regularly.
we took the dci to wales for wrc rally gb and it sat at 110mph for 5 hours coming home haha
hated myself for putting all they miles on the 172 in 1 year, started it the other day and couldnt beleive how small the millage looked being 1 digit less at 42k lol
aye man the dci still goin strong lol cooked the brake fluid today and they never came back wooopsys lol got some performance stuff to change it with tomorrow!
cone filter where the battery would be on a standard car, no 90 degree bend, cold air vent in headlight giving direct air to filter
afaik its a 100% standard engine, supersprint race system (not sure if they run cats or not) and a standalone management?
not yet too busy saving for christmas lol. its going in to the bodyshop in january to have the cup spoiler, rear bumper, front bumper and bonnet resprayed and RS Tuner ordered then its just a case of getting coilovers and brakes for it and getting the thing insured and taxed!
