Smash a socket onto it. Why can't you do that if it's round? Find one that really very nearly fits, smash away until it does, if it slips, go one size down and repeat.

There's some good guides in the guides section, have a search. The best being the one on the Saxo wheels IMO.

Looks proper mint. Mental, but mint. I bet Dawn is literally damp at the sight of this.

Awesome car, but not the wheels.. :( Haircut, you finally look male (bar the highlights ;) ) You've done a top job on that though kev, I'd love to have you skills with making a car look mint.

You should know iirc? ;) Anyway, OP - it's possible the spacer isn't sitting flush on the hub, it's also possible that your tracking is off or a wheel needs balancing and that's been accentuated by fitting the spacers (unlikely, but possible) It's also possible you knocked off a wheel...

Honestly, about 0.5 hp if you're lucky.

Good to see you're still soldiering on! Will all those marks around the holes come off the bootlid or is that as good as it gets??? Also, are they just packing tape marks on the wing?? Stick some halfords gromets in the holes, sorted.

Sounds like engine mounts to me. Any obvious visual signs?

One in that colour passed me and Ant on the way to the burpspeed track day driving like a nutter. It looked really really good.

Shouldn't he be able to diagnose lambda issues just by unplugging them one at a time or swapping them over etc?

The power flex involves pushing the old bushes out of your existing mount and putting harder bushes in. IMO not really worth it in a 1.2 etc, but it can't hurt. The harder rubber does cause increased vibrations some times but it does give a tighter feel to the gearbox, especially when...

13mm socket and that hammer should do it nicely.

What the hell is this?

I'm going with possible o2 sesnor and crank sensor related for the cutting out.

How much was the key without coding? :o

How much was the new key?!? I'd like a shiny new one!

Not anymore

Depending upon what way they're out, it may be cheaper just to have the shock hole machined at a local metalwork place.

Broken or working? ;)

You bought a seat? So you're getting rid of the 106??? You said insuring two cars was a joke.... (I'm well lost)

You properly worry me. I genuinely think you should consider stopping working on your car yourself and start taking it to professionals. The bolts you have are a 60 degree taper, are the wheels the same? 28mm thread does not seem very long, how far through the back of the wheel do they go...

I want iOS 6 :(

No tuck needed. Seriously one of my (if not actual) favourite cars on here. It's just so damn nice. How does it go? Any good to drive?

Go for the valeo unit from Eurocarparts and get the 25% discount they've got. As standard clutches go, the valeo kit is the best for the 172. Make sure you align it all properly, and very carefully, and the clutch will feel brilliant after. Mine did.

Is there any reason you've posted in a box?

Re: Not so much a Project... I can change the title, what to? "My bumper's the wrong colour"? Get the wheels done asap mate, they really let it down. Nice colour though, it'll look lovely if you get that bumper sprayed too.

FYI you cannot fit trendlines without fitting ph2 rear seats and doorcards. The dark blue of the ph2 door cards actually match the top of the ph1 dash just fine so it all works, but the recaros look really silly with the ph1 leather and horrible coloured plastic of the ph1 door cards. :rasp:

Vidahost, always vidahost.

A fair point but I just thought a quick lick of paint before the full winter refurb would have had it looking better for now. :rasp: Still looks awesome in that pic at the yard.
