Well I've just taken the plug out and sprayed it all with some WD40 and all is fixed now. ???????

any idea how to tell which it is out of the two?

Started the car this morning and it was idling at 2.5k, after driving the engine management light came on and it would rev above 3k So when i plugged it into my RS Tuner, the faults shown were 'Inconsistency between track 1-2 pedal' and 'Throttle pedal position track 2' any ideas?

this is where parking over two spaces has its benefits. i once got a ticket for doing it telling me i had to buy two tickets. luckily the guy next to me gave me his ticket so i then had two and got away with it However, ^^this is not always possible which is why my car is slowly getting close...

what do i need to take the hub off? Torque does it need to go back on?

When braking my ABS seems to be cutting in when i brake, not all the time just when its slightly heavier than normal. From looking at a couple of threads on here it may be the ABS ring. Where are these? How do i check them? How do i replace them if they are broken/faulty? cheers all

Right managed to get them off. Had to hammer the key on then buzz then off with the gun the hammer the key off the nut. Did this for each one as the key ended up fucked. Just replaced them with the standard bolts for the minute.

i thought this but the locking nut has like a ring round the inside to try stop this happening I also thought of this so may give this a try first. Im just hoping that it doesnt f**k the locking key up lol cheers all

I was in the process of cleaning the inside of the alloys on my 172 yesterday and whilst i had the wheels off i decided to clean and paint the calipers. All was going ok until i got to the drivers side locking nut. The locker just slipped off and now i cant get it to stay in with out slipping...

this is what im saying mate, the struts currently fitted dont have the bottom cup

Should i have a spring cup on the strut? Just got these this morning from a member on here. When i previous replaced the springs there wasnt a rubber cup for them to sit into but now wondering if there should have been This is a pic of the new one (ignore the dog lol) and this is a pic...

Bought this car back in May after selling my 225 Cup Lux, what a come down this was but the threat of redundancy called to my more mature side and i realised that i need to save money where possible. So bought this as a run about for abit until i could secure and other job, its now grown on...

mine used to do this until i replaced the suspension top mounts

have you wound the piston back?

Ni pics of them fitted?????

Cheers Alex errrrr, thanks Rob lol

does it just pull/prise out? if so which way?

My drivers side window switches/handle are looking abit tatty so was looking to replace this for a new one or a second hand one thats in better condition. Is it just a straight swap? easy to do? thanks in advance

I had a dodgy lamba sensor on my 172 which lead to the car dumping fuel onto the CAT cells and melting it. This wrecked the CAT. I took the cat off and broke the rest of the car cells off and refitted. This effectively is now a decat, the car runs much better. Its alot smoother, my MPG has got...

Whys that Russ?

did the plugs a few weeks back, put new suspension when i got it in May 2010, brakes are spot on, and exhuast is also spot on. looks like just an oil and filter change left to do then. thinking of getting a panel replacment filter aswell. Possibly a K&N one.

my aircon doesnt work lol

My cars just gone 91k, i know a service isnt due until 96k but like to do them every 6k. Is there anything major i need to be doing apart from the normal oil and filter changes? ive looked through the guides for a guide but cant find one
