Today I have fixed a leak at both joints of my exhaust, fitted a new dash clock radio display (and then the bulbs after the 'perfect working order' one had both bulbs blown!), new bulb in cigar lighter, swapped my washer pumps around so my screen washers work now, removed the broken and not...

This looks very similar to my last 172, and I miss that car!! Although yours looks so clean and very very nice!! (My old one wasn't that clean and my new shed doesn't and never will!!)

I paid £30 to a mobile bloke to remove mine on my last one. He was there for hours and didn't charge more. They were genuine Renault ones and broke his special tool so had to resort to welding a bolt onto them in the end. They were only really hard to get off because the tyre place I'd used a...

I need to get my shed to a similar standard to yours, your car is such an inspiration to me and my Monaco. And the powerflex dog bone mount is definitely on my list, made such a difference to my last 172!!

Right my code reader finally arrived today, plugged it in and it came up with two fault codes. Bearing in mind I have no eml on. P0120 throttle/pedal position sensor switch (Guessing this is from when it was revving itself the other day, I've cleaned that up and touch wood.....) P0130 o2...

Silly question but what is best around the house to clean the connectors with please? I read wd40 but not sure.

I checked that tonight. Definately not trapped which is a plus I guess Funny I was reading a thread about the peddle and then this happens today.

I don't know to be honest, they are black ones but say performance leads on them. I'll plug it in to a code reader, see what happens then and if need be I can get leads.

@bloke thanks mate. I've tired a coilpack with the help of @NorthloopCup but it made no difference. Also checked over my leads which although aftermarket appear ok. Today the throttle had a mind of its own, first 4K then 6k revs and after that I have a engine management light on now. I'll get...

Wow at least your 'ok'. Could've been a lot worse. As for insurance I'm know some insurers give extra cover against non insured drivers, and as such you don't have to pay excess or anything. What have your insurers said? I would also imagine that the police would back up your side of events as...

Little update. With the engine running I unplugged individual ht leads from the coil, no change when removing 1, slight change with 2, definate change when pulling 3 and 4, car wanted to die. So from that I'm guessing the coilpack or leads are goosed? Sadly my quickly dispatched code autel code...

Thanks mate I'll have a look at that.

Drove it tonight. Pulled on my drive and the revs shot up to 3k rpm and the electrical warning light (yellow with zig zag) came on. Throttle made no difference at all. Turned the car off and back on and it idled as before, lumpy but at normal speed. Bloody heap of junk!!!

Thank you for your suggestions. It drives and runs (doesn't stall) but when pulling away often it seems bogged down and wants to cut out (but doesn't) and when driving you can feel it missing and pulling back slightly. It's not spluttering as such, just not stable like it should be. (I know...

Ah bloody hell, I think I've got one of those somewhere. I'll have a look. Thank you!!

Thank you. I'll get one ordered now. Do you have a link to the one you bought? I'll sort the blow out asap and get the code reader and go from there. Fingers crossed it's not a valve gone.

Right ok. I'll have a look for a code reader. Problem is every specialist is miles from me.

After the cat at the joint with the exhaust the blow is. There are no lights on the dash though, so doubt codes would show up? Would it be worth trying a coilpack?

.

Can anyone help please?

Hi all. The shed I've just bought has got a misfire, which is not setting off the eml (it is working, checked at ignition turn on) I was looking yesterday and noticed the exhaust has a leak at cat joint and also at back box joint (pattern exhaust) I checked all leads were on the coil right and...

Happy new year everyone!!

RIP saw this earlier. Terrible for his family and friends especially at this time of year. Sad sad news.

Not for £30 though. Lol

How low are they? Pm me how much please?

Anyone selling any of these springs at all?

I know it's a small amount but you could take it off using a jigsaw or some other tool I cant think of name wise. I ran a 5 digit plate cut down with a jigsaw to match the space between letters and edge to a regular plate and never had problems with it.

Good job saving that mate. Looks like a bargain really too.

I'm looking at a Monaco 172 and wondered if anyone knew it? Appears well looked after. RL02ZTE Thanks

I had this when I had my 172 with a sensor fault, fault in that some idiot had managed to somehow snap the cable pretty much clear out of the head. I drove it like this for a while and only ever had one scary moment as i just drove a little more sensible (yes it was hard!! Lol) My issue was the...
