Just changed my power steering fluid. When i filled up the tank with new stuff and started the car all was fine until i put it on full lock one side and back to centre. Now it makes a gear grinding noise. Is it because it just needs bled or is the pump done for? Didnt make any noise before...

can anyone tell me what the shaft on the left is from? The one on the right is from my 2002 172 non cup which supposably shouldnt have the bearing/cv bolted to the engine. I have taken the abs ring off it to see if it fitted the shaft on the left which it did as the one on the left never had one.

Just removed my old cam belt from my engine. When i removed the 18mm bolt and washer in the end of the crank, the aux belt pulley slipped off very easilly followed by the cambelt pulley. I didnt need to force them off too much. When i looked at it, there is a keyway in the crank but no...

Now i know every engine is different and this has maybe been covered but lets say my engine is healthy (170) or we can go based on what guys have already on here to a similar spec. Spec i have planned, Matched inlets Modified airbox (equivalent to the V6 setup) Decat and supersprint/ktec...

While my 172 is off the road getting engine work done i am going to do a bit work on the suspension in the meantime. Problem is. im spoilt for choice. Current setup is Apex springs with standard shocks and im happy with the way the car is sitting height wise. Im definately going for some...

Hi guys, been a while Since it's been a long time since i have posted i'll explain what happened as to why i need valves! Few weeks ago i was having some issues with my 172 revs jumping up and down between idle and 1800rpm and making some strange belt/pulley squealing noises (not in sync...

Hi guys. When we had the bad snow at end of november my aux belt snapped! i have just fitted a new one today (piece of pi**, dont see what all the fuss is about doing these) So i havent went to start the car yet as the water pump pulley will not spin ( i am guessing this is why the belt...

Right i have a Clicking/Knocking noise (its hard to explain) coming from what sounds like the passenger side of the car at the front. Happens when im pressing the throttle hard or lifting off quite fast. i thought it was down to worn bushes on the arms but i think it may be an engine or...

Been a while since i posted pics and stuff of my car so here goes. Plans are to get the bonnet and front bumper painted as it looks like the laquer has peeled off the bonnet (i know im missing a washer jet, dont ask lol) and the bumper has a few scuffs so makes sense to get that done at the...
