My 172's been sounding pretty rough and feeling quite sluggish recently so i've been driving it pretty slow instead of burning round like I usually do. The other day I was behind a CTR who thought he would have a bit of fun... Kept up with him through 1st and 2nd and then he pretty much...

...I absolutely LOVE my 172! Even with all the niggley little problems that i'm going through with my car at the moment, it's the times where I take it out and give it a damn good pasting through the 'twisties' where I really appreciate what a fantastic little car it is. Yes I know there's...

Right, My MKII 172 idles at about 500rpm and has done since I bought it...then the other day I started it in the morning from cold and it was fine (revs were high until it warmed up, etc...as it always has done) - Didn't drive it all day and got in it to go home after work...started and the...

Just wondering if there is a good way to check if your clutch is going on a 172? Was driving to work this morning and floored it in 1st (after pulling away) and the revs went up but the car didn't really accelerate well at all...just wondering if this was the clutch slipping or maybe just the...

My 172's going in for Cambelt, Aux belt (which wasn't changed at 36k?! :mad:) and it's 48k service tomorrow morning and I get it back on Sunday...Was looking round for ages for a decent deal on having this little lot done and it made me want to kill myself! Then my mate says that he knows the...

Getting a funny vibration from the right side of the engine (when sat in drivers seat) when I pull away in 2nd gear at low revs, like when you aproach a junction and you don't need to go into 1st and you just pull away slow in 2nd gear - it's not really a knocking as such, more a vibration...

Right here we go, think i'm just gonna get laughed at here but please bear in mind that i'm a desk-jockey and know next to f**k all about cars, I just like driving 'em... Is there a difference between the accessories belt and the auxillary belt? I'm assuming they are the same thing? Go on...
