For about a year now it has felt lumpy when the engine is cold. Sometimes it feels like I’m driving with the handbrake on. Once it warmed up it seemed to be fine. A few weeks back I was driving along and changed gear at about 4 or 5k rpm. The car lost power, the limp mode light came on and I...

It happened this morning whilst driving enthusiastically and no matter what gear I was in the car would not rev past 3k rpm. A warning light appeared just below the petrol warning light. I stopped the car and turned the engine over again. The light went off and normal service was restored. The...

A whining high pitched sound can be heard coming from the electronic throttle body when idle. When coasting along at say 40 in 4th gear the car slows down and feels like it labouring. I can also hear backfiring from the exhaust more frequent. I think the throttle may have had it. I've taken it...

I assume its just like the 182 manifold. Or am I wrong? Would it give power gains like the 182 manifold would or would it be worse?

They are exactly the same yeah? Not like the stupid gearbox's...

Just done a full engine oil change. Fitted a new filter too. Put 5.1 litres in and the dipstick and the trip computer both say empty. I went for a little drive and they still said the same. It looks as tho more oil came out than went in. It's fookin weird. Any chacne there could be an air pocket...

As above. Been running with the new gearbox for a week now and the car feels allot quicker. Are the ratios different in the ph1 box? I know the build quality was better. Maybe it's just becuase my last gearbox was buggered but I'm sure it's faster. Anyone else had a similar experience?

Fitted a gearbox from a 172 ph1 on me 172 cup and today when I selected reverse I got reverse. When I selected 1st I got reverse. Adjusted the selector to the gear stick linkage and I still couldn't get it right. Has anyone got a guide on how to do it? I referred to a Haynes manual for every mk2...

The gearbox I took out was a JC5 129. Then I had a JC5 130 which I found out wouldn't work. I swapped the JC5 130 for a JC5 089. Will this work on me cup?

The box is the same but the old speedo drive from my old box doesn't fit. There is a hole but it feels slightly different. It took me a canny while to fit the bastad so I'm reluctant to take it out. Any advice would be smashing.

http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1429 I'm not talking about the induction kit itself. I know you can get a samco elbow for the throttle body and airbox. But what about the pipe to locate the induction kit where the acoustic valve normally lives...

Is it the same box?

My car rattled like something not right when I pushed the fun pedal. I thought it was the exhaust but that appears to be secure. Then I found this http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1485 and I thought maybe this will solve the issue. I came on here because I've got the new bushes...

So far I've removed the driveshafts, airbox, battery and ecu. I'm assuming the subframe has to be dropped too. Is this the case? If anyone has a guide on either removing the gearbox or dropping the subframe it would be greatly appreciated.

Found this loverly little crack on my gearbox Priced up a new gearbox and I think it's going to have to be a repair. I've heard theres a paste you can get which is supposed to be spot on possibly having it welded. I dunno how it happened. There's nothing near it and there isn't a mark on...

What is the difference between inline lower engine mount and twisted lower engine mount Am I right in thinking the inline one was for the 172 ph1 and some early models of the 172 ph2 and the twisted one is a revised part for the later 172's and the 182's?

I've put my decat back on and I'm not too sure I've put it on properly. I've put 1 into 2(the cup) in the hole on the manifold. On the other side where the decat is I've put 3 onto 1 then 4(the spring), then 5, 6 and 7. Canny confusing like but I'm sure someone will know what I'm on...

I did notice a bit of a difference when I fitted the decat. Honestly I thought it was ll in my head. Now that the cat is back on my car sounds a bit... erm, soft. I miss the sound. It doesn't feel as quick either. Even my girlfriend noticed the difference. I was under the impression that any...

Anyone know anywhere in and around the newcastle area that refurb wheels and do a good job. Cheapness would be a nice bonus too. Thank you in advance.

Had the decat on since summer and I really can't be bothered to swap back for MOT time. I don't have an emission light on. It's still gona fail isn't it?

Probably a repost but for those who havn't seen it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymmgk7poVPQ

Just incase anyone wanted to see how they look in the bay. I need to re-paint the plenum. Some of the paint got chipped off when I had the plug holes helicoiled. So that's why it was miss-firing... :P

The other day two of my spark plugs desintigrated and parts fell into the cylinder head. That doesn't really matter because the new plugs wouldn't screw in anyway as old plugs took some of the thread with them. Fingers crossed the plug holes can be re-drilled. I noticed that the...

The engine will turn over for a second then cut out straight away. Checked the ht leads, fuses battery. Was wondering if anyone had any ideas? http://www.hoggaz.myby.co.uk/MOV00497.3GP

It's a constant tapping. I have to have the window open and the radio turned off but it can be clearly heard. Car's at 50k miles and hasn't had the timing belt changed. Performance doesn't seem to be effected. Thought it might be the tappits but I'm not sure. Theres enough oil in the engine as...

I've been reversing into the same driveway for 2 and a half years and owned the clio for just over 2 years. Quite funny now I think about it. I clipped the wall as I was comming inn :( This is the crazy angle I have to come in to get onto my driveway. Bastad lampost. Does anyone like my...

I need to renew my policy in a week and when I do I will have 4 years ncb. I got a quote from direct line which is just over £500. I'm 23 and drive a 172 cup. I think this is quite a cheap quote but I was wondering if anyone has found a insurance company that are really cheap but not very well...

On my 172 I'm finding it extremely hard to undo the bolts holding the manifold and cat together. There isn't a great lot of room to work with and I fear I might have rounded one of the bolts. I tried removing the heat shield above the cat but couldn't see how to take it off as the gear leaver...
