On the Mk1s we take a Williams PAS Rack (2.odd Turns Lock-to-Lock), strip the pipework off, pack it with grease and seal it up. Feels like a normal manual rack, no difference really. Only reason we do this is because the actual manual racks you can get (off the low spec models) are nearly 5...

End just unscrews off the steering racks arm. Not expensive, can be had for under a tenner from factors if you know of any. Make a note of where the old one is fitted upto (how many threads on it is) before you remove it, so you can get the new one in the same place. If you dont you'l have to...

Track rod end... Jack the bottom of it higher, it will eventually stop spinning when you put enough force up on it. They should not spin anyway, its usually a sign its worn...is it new?

If they are gonna go again they will go regardless of being welded :( Mine ripped 4 x 1inch runs of weld clean off and popped it somehow!

Unsure, hopefully someone else will reply and give the best option. Bloooor had a box rebuild to be safe...not sure if it will just pop back out again if its put back in (like the Mk1s)

Only 182 AFAIK. Bloors 172 Ph2 was Circlip, same happened to his!

Sounds like diff circlip Edit- Just re-read. Defo circlip if speedo rises.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project Some more bits done, just need welding etc. Second set of sidemounts sourced, same as the ones im running at the moment. Seat bars are nearly done and will be going in soon, then I can remove the standard Renault rails once I get a spot weld drill bit. Lots...

Car should still run without an alternator if the battery has charge, ive had mine running on just the battery before for a few minutes when it wasnt even bolted to the block...

Pump pushes it up the lines, technically if the line was off the rail it would fly out at 3bar+

Got a spare key you can try? Tried taking battery off for a bit?

Sounds like immobiliser to me for sure :( Not sure what else to suggest!

Tried the usual lock/unlock/lock/unlock a few times while sat inside the car then try to start it? Is the immobiliser light is on when cranking (if it even cranks?)

Good work, love the look of it in last picture. I've read the thread before but must have missed it, what management are you going to run it on?

Check fuel pump fuse in engine bay, and maybe unplug and plug pump back in under seat just to be sure its not the connector

Not to mention it will cost you £50 to open a claim with the small claims court lol.

[Mk1] Fog Light Replacement Air Scoops (For Under £10!) Maybe something similar could be achieved ;)

It doesnt matter, because you have no hard proof (Advert saying fully working, etc) of condition upon purchase. Its just your word against his, which isnt good enough to get a definate conclusion, if he says you cant have your money back. Ive been to solicitors, and all sorts of people about...

Camskill - Toyo T1-R 195/50/15 - £29ea, if you're wanting a few a local garage should fit and balance them for £5/tyre.

New or used?

You havent got much comeback due to having no reciept, PistonHeads advert isnt good enough. Luckily when mine went wrong I had an eBay listing to go back to. His PistonHeads advert does not say weather its in good condition or not, you only found that out when you rang him. Unless you have a...

Exactly what I did with a stuck one last night. WD40, wiggle'd it and tapped it round, slid straight off :)

Only be worth building a 100% fresh one to be sure as the bearings/pump in the other could possibly be knackered due to the history of it!

After finding the bottom end on Pistonheads for Adam, he phoned the guy who said it was in good condition, turned over fine etc. So we made the 250mile round trip to Cleveland/North Yorks to pick it up... Got it back to the factory earlier, flywheel off and on the engine stand just to double...

Its Icarus@TDF's Dyno Cell

Oh, same. I thought you were on about the time when he apparently beat a 172 lol.

No one else has seen that happen yet though, just his word against Jonff lol.

Dont know what your on about Dave... lol

Just come across this...easy way for someone to throttle body their 1*2 with everything included it seems... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160398127534&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT
