There's a few things it could be and wouldn't of suggested uch apart from the hazards as they can do odd things when they are on the way out. I'd say to check loom around top of gearbox as well.

hazards sounds like possible uch/power issue?

don't know why but when i was getting one cleared by chris at efi he said that you can run a 182 ecu on a 172 but not the other way round, can't remember why though?

have you used a 172 ecu? assume you have if the uch isn't set for cruise etc.

Engine will be scrap. Can do you a good deal on one fitted :wink:

Main lead OK on the alternator?

you won't really hear it, need to lift the back seat base and pop the black cover off.

fuel pump prime when you turn ignition on?

what end of shaft does it sound like it's coming from? imagine you should be able to find what it is easy enough, just no idea from the video where it's coming from.

flashes fast when key not recognised, solid light is it not clearing.

time to start measuring, will be easy to find out what's up.

have you still got drive?

Make sure battery is fully charged, unlock car, turn ignition on , leave for 30 seconds or so,ignition off and lock the car. Try it again, that generally sorts it. If not can be a fun one to sort out. Also check battery voltage standing and on cranking.

Pull the radishes* out and get it plugged in with clip and see what faults it brings up and take it from there. If you want to do it the lazy way pop cover off the dash and stick a bit of black tape over the light as it doesn't have to work for an mot. If it doesn't work it's pass and advise...

Am sure I remember someone saying about the new bottom bush/bearing can knock and having a spacer/shim made for it?

polevolt, car builder solutions, rs, vehicle wiring products...

yeah, just pulls off the diff. drop hose off the pump and drain that as well to get rid of all the old fluid.

got a 182 engine, had belts and dephaser done about 2 years ago.

stubby spanners, bit of swearing and take drivers side shaft out, hub and strut off, only takes five minutes but gives you so much more room.

have you looked at what the map is doing on live data?

I mean fuel trims, lambda readings etc.

has anyone actually looked at live data on it?

I'd get the car on rollers for power figure and then get it weighed as it is first.

Get a phase 1 front on it, looks soooooooo much better in flame than the phase 2 front:cool:

they're a bit fiddly, far from a pain of a job to do.

That's just grease, if it's the side that's stick g wouldn't worry about it much. Chances are the pads are stuck in the carrier, if they are just give them a clean and file a bit of the ends so they can move in the carrier a bit. If not check caliper is moving on sliders, if that's OK check...

not dephaser. had one the other month with pistons hitting valves but yours sounds more like bottom end though. did you clean the block out as well?

locks them fine either way.

did you change the oil pump?

nah, got them on my phase 1 and no problems with them.
