Is it where the square drive is on the tensioner that has snapped off?

Your ph1 looked super clean, if I can get my ph1 to even half as clean as yours I'd be happy, and as above the whole feeling was really relaxed and the convoy over from worcestershire was really respectful with no heroics from anybody. Happy to see 18 year odd old French tin rot taking over the...

Yeah the more the merrier, @RustyMojo is the main guy sorting the convoy out. But the main aim is to meet at Worcester rugby club for 7:30am

Where abouts in Shropshire? I'm in Stourbridge and meeting a few people at Worcester rugby club at about 7:30am

Indeed the best colour, the last silver on that sort of mileage sold for £3850 add odyssey blue tax and as long as it's mint and all original with recent belt change and not really needing any work I can't see why it wouldn't be worth 5/5.5k to the right person.

Also depends on colour, if it's a titanium silver I would say it's on the high side. You say almost original as well, it depends on what parts have been changed as some ph1 parts are getting harder to get hold of now.

Yeah all sounds good I'll aim for meeting at worcester rugby club.

It's almost like a hollow knock l. I think you can just about make it out in the video. Hard to get a decent video of the noise.

I've got a strange knocking noise from the front end but could be both ends that I can't diagnose and wondering if any one else has had anything similar. I've recently just installed helper springs and lowered it another 15 mm approximately all round, and too be fair it probably is a little...

Might join you on that I'm only in Stourbridge. Let me know what time you're thinking of joining up

If you're doing top mounts and don't have an impact gun make sure you have an offset 21mm spanner, as quite a few of the kits I've seen don't have a 21mm in them and a few extra allen keys or hex bits of the same diameter. Also remember to break the top mount nuts free whilst the car is still on...

Here's my 172 cup I'll be coming in, body work is rougher than most on here though. Might even wash it beforehand.

Some useful information, hopefully any one who's interested comes across this thread first.

Messaged the person, full reg is X417MCK. Coming back as yellow on reg checks but no mot history held and last v5 issued 2005.

What time slots have people been booking? The 9am one?

I did think possibly supertech with the black coating.

Hopefully it's still useable then! Possibly matched, it came with a car but with a standard rs lower inlet, supposedly cat cam valve springs and uprated valves but no invoices to prove it.

A 172 I just purchased has come with a rebuilt cylinder head but the mating face has some damage. The photos do make the damage look worse. I've read that these engines don't particularly like cylinder heads being skimmed. Is there an overall height they can't go below or any other way of...

hopefully it's not too rotten and can be saved, it's only about 45 mins from shrewsbury at the moment, and been on axle stands for the past two years, in quite a few pieces at the moment, but everything seems to be there to put it back together.

yeah that's the one.

Just put a deposit down on 119, non runner, aux belt failure and appears to be quite rotten will know more when i get it delivered this evening or tomorrow

Cheers for your replies guys, I'll take another go at setting it up and see if i can improve it anymore. for people who have them, mines the new style carbon if it makes a difference, see if the collar on the bottom of the shifter hits and runs along the lockout plate for 1st and 2nd?

I've recently installed a pms shifter and having problems with first and second gear. It's mainly going into second that's the problem, then it won't go straight back into first from second. All other gears and reverse select fine. Going into second from first It feels as if the lever is going...

You can remove the gearbox out the top without removing the engine. when i did mine i still had to lower the subframe slightly though. It is probably easier out the bottom as from the top you have to remove a lot of extra stuff to get enough space, coolant lines, wiring etc. I ended up removing...

I'll keep an eye out for them then!

Does that mean we finally get to see what's under that stitched on wheel cover? The amount of times I was tempted to take it off but didn't want to be left with a peeling steering wheel. If you're planning on selling the old dampers I might be tempted as they hadn't done many miles when I sold...

yeah sounds about right

https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/lemforder-ball-joint-617745335 This should be the one, make sure it's got the bigger M12 holes. I would personally go for the lemforder one even though they are more expensive.
