By the BMW garage on Europa Way, tailgating everything in sight, then pulling a twatty overtake off the roundabout. Hi. Just so you know, its a because of asshats like you that everyone thinks 1*2 drivers are all tosspots. Thanks.

Morning all, I've got a weep from what looks like a black plastic cap at the end if the cam on my 172 cup. Roughly where the red circle is (not my engine, best photo I could find!) I'm guessing that the cap is just a plastic cover, and there's a cam seal behind it? Is it likely that's the...

Can someone sanity check my diagnosis please, before I shell out a wadge of cash I don't need to... I have a 172 cup on 72k - a while ago it started monkeying about and crunching all the gears, as if the clutch didn't fully disengage. I reset the pedal adjustment and it worked OK. Started doing...

Hi all, I think the self adjusting mech on my clutch may be banjaxed. A fee months ago it felt like it wasn't disengaging, so I reset the adjustment mech, and it sorted it. Its done it again now though, and the reset only works for about 5 prrssrs!, and I'm hoping that, as it was a sudden...

Morning all, All of a sudden, my 172 cup (03) has decided it doesn't want to select gears very easily. All go in fine with the engine, off, and there's drive when they are selected, but every gear crunches pretty badly. Clutch modulates fine in terms of pulling off/feathering etc. It's almost...

Hi all, I gave an of rattle/clatter from the underside of my 172 cup. Very noticeable when driving past walls etc, sounds more 'meaty' than a heatshield. Had the car in the air and I can't see anything obvious, however, there's quite a bit of slack in the gear linkage. A search suggests that...

Hi All, Posted before about the slightly wonky idle my car gets, and came tot he conclusion 'they all do that, sir'. However, the car is definitely holding back at light throttle, most noticeably when cold. In addition, there's definitely a slight misfire on idle. I'm thinking probably coil...

Afternoon all, I picked up a 172 at the weekend - lovely car, great on the test drive, but after I get it home, I noticed the idle can sometimes be a little rough (it wasn't on the test drive!) Still sticks around 1kRPM, but seems a little off beat and chuntery at times. Car has the belts and...

Can this be done? One of the reasons I bought a 172 was for the ISOFix stuff, and I've realised that it's missing the rear bar :o Having trouble finding one, and until then, I need to be able to carry our little dude around, but obviously I'm not going to do it with the airbag enabled! Cheers Si

Hi All :) New person here, I picked up a 172 cup yesterday :) Lovely little things, aren't they? I'm not traditionally a french car person (although I had a K Reg 1.4 RT many moons ago... :D) more of a jap persuasion - I've had mx5's, and MR2, DC2, 200SXs and have a long running RX7 project that...
