    172 cup windscreen correct replacement

    Hi everyone. I've organised national windscreens to come round and replace my cracked screen in my 172 cup. They have told me that they will fit a "standard 172 windscreen without rain sensors". Obviously the cup doesnt have the rain sensor, so it could be the correct one, but I just want to...

    Horn Wiring ,etc

    Hi. I've recently put a momo wheel and boss on my 172 cup. All working exactly as I wanted, airbag resistors in place, horn parping nicely...and then in true idiot style, I ignore the old "if it aint broke, dont fix it" rule... I decided that I should definitely take the horn push off in order...

    PAS Fluid leak under switch

    Hi. I have figured out that my 172 cup is losing a fair bit of fluid from, I think, just under the PAS switch sensor. I look the sensor off and tightened it back on again, but it still leaking.
