Heyup, had some new front springs on today as one had snapped. Thought about getting prolines, but worked out a bit more I couldn't do with insurance hassles and the roads round here crap, bad enough ride already. Thing is it now looks really high at the front! Looks really odd. Is it likely to...

Hi there, my car failed MOT today on a driveshaft boot split, they are recommending getting a new drive shaft as said it might be worn. What would a typical price be for a replacement and fitting? Ta, Andy

Walked past on my way to the stealers to get washer pump today, looked well tidy...

Just took off my wiper arms so I could replace washer pump and resistor pack and put wiper arms back on but something aint right! The spoiler thing on the blade is now tapping on the windscreen when it first moves! Is there any easy way to line them up or maybe I have bolted the mechanism back...

Hi there, got wipers and scuttle off but can't seem to remove pump? I'm sure I read they are loose fitting but can't seem to put it out. Do I need to remove the washer bottle first? Looks like all the wiper mechanism is in the way, so does that need to come out too? I pulled up on the pump...

Anyone got one and fancy doing me a reading? A beer in it? If not I think I'll get the one from K-tec (£42 inc) as my local garage is asking 20+vat, so two uses pays for itself and the state of my electrics lately that won't be long. Ta, Andy

I think my had died, just spoek to a local scrappy and they have some, but not out of a 172, just from a 1.6 and 1.4. Are these the same across all models or will I need one out of a sport. I'm guessing it is this as I get no fan whatsoever, but also no click of the air con compresser and...

My climate control is working fine, apart from when turning it off it just carries on but on some random setting. The display turns off, but it seems to go into windscreen demist mode! After a few minutes with the ignition off its fine. Anyone any ideas what it could be? Ta, Andy..

Hi there, I'm thinking of swapping my HU as I want to get ipod connectivity (ideally full control via HU) but also to get MP3 support from the CD. Are there any replacement units that work with the stalk controls - I'd like to keep that as its pretty useful. Thanks, Andy.

Evening, I think my washer pump has died. The headlight washers are still working so kinda rules out the stalk. Neither front or back washers are working so I'm guessing its not just blockages and there is no noise when using washers without the headlights on. It could be the relay I guess...

Good condition all bits included except the ballast http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=230186246909&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=013

Can anyone recommend a local garage that will do a reasonably priced timing belt change? I'm only at 27K but 5 years in December.. Also anywhere good for servicing apart from Renault? Finally a garage that will be able to sort my Xenon out, been blowing fuses since the flood. I'm in flats...

Hi there, my 172 was lucky enough to get flooded during the Sheffield floodage. I managed to dry out all the interior after a couple of weeks, its still a bit whiffy but not too bad. The only problem I'm having is with the o/s Xenon. As soon as the lights come on it pops the fuse, the n/s...
