OK, I seemed to have got most of the dust out. It still wouldnt fire up. Weird. Then I went to turn it on its side and it burst into life, flashing lights an all!! Both CPU and PSU fans are running. Everything seems fine. Had it on for 15mins or so, but then I turned it off as I had to nip out...

Correct

I could turn the PC upside down. blow the dust out and suck it up with the hoover? Military operation breaking out here

On an extension, but been fine for 18 months. Will get a can of air and clean it all properly later, check the fans etc. It has heatsink and a fan on the CPU, so I am thinking power supply maybe goosed

Cheers

It died again last night. Took the side cover off and blew out a fair bit of dust. Put it back together. It fired up again for about 20 seconds then died. Wouldnt turn back on. I got annoyed and went to bed. Fan on the CPU I think, will have the side off again later

Inside it somewhere?

Come home tonight and it wouldn't fire up. I unplugged it all, tried it all again, and it fired up. However, now its making a high pitch whine, ever so slightly. Not reeally loud, just in earshot. Like when it's reading/writing a disc...... but there is no disc in. When I logged on, it had a...

Immediate hero status!!! You going FMIC or chargecooler?

a bright enough torch on long exp will do What about trafford park, or find a nice substation somewhere. Motorway bridges are cool if you long exp too as you get the trail lights

Do you plan on keeping it forever? Just warm it up, and thrash the tits off it

You were back home and didnt ring me for a pint? You vajazzle earing wearing FAG!! Kris, next time you're up, instead of stalking Su, give me a call and come round. You can snowfoam the s**t out of it, and use normal polish and wax instead of that nasty crap

May I suggest possibly detailing the 2.0 16v poart of the bullets in silver? The do look lovely like that. Agree on the lowering part too

Nice to see a monaco with foreign plates

0.08 seconds 0-60? I'd rather be a cool b*****d

The only, and I mean the ONLY thing I cant be doing with is the Sparco seats. They are nothing short of awful. Ford made a right boob going from Recaros there.

Couldnt have said it better myself. Saw a shonky old F plate saph cos last night in, shall we say, a bit of a hurry. Looked like he was wrestling with it, pop of soot out the back. Everyone on the pavement stopped to watch it. Made me smile

But maxpower says you can get 8-10bhp from a HKS filter. Then a decat is a good 5 on top of that. Stainless exhaust, power boost valve and folding your back seats forwards......... easily beat the ITB boys

or shows that owner is anal

That engine looks clean as fooook!!!

FLOL!

Timing out?

Get a decat. Find a "friendly" MOT station

Best colour for a 172

Rally spec?

I had my tracking sorted at Sheldons on Saturday. Nice guys, were careful with the car, and all done in about 20mins. Now drives true and straight, with the steering wheel centred. £25. They did suggest I get some camber bolts in the future and have it set up again, given I have 2.5deg

Have a word with Birchdown? They arent too far from you, may be able to have a quick look for you for a few quid

Fuel pump perhaps? Loose cam sensor?

Is it only doing it under load? Not just when you rev it at a standstill?

so you've paid them for the work, but they havent fixed the problem?
