Hi Nik, has there been any movement on this? Is it a plain flat "no, you aint going on track in that son" as per above or...

Let me on, let me on 😅

You can only do so much :D

Literally took the words out of my mouth

Not required for the MOT.

As of April, if the air bag light is present it will fail an MOT...

I can fit them. But I didn't bring my tools with me as I'm on my hols at my mother in laws in St Annes :)

If the tdc sensor hasnt been changed since its left the factory, its worth changing it for a new one as it known to cause that exact problem.

Very nice. Me and the wife recently visited the The Lakes, we stayed at http://www.sandhillsfarm.co.uk , did 2 1600ft climbs and an 8 mile walk. Next trip is going to be a driving trip in my F4R'd R5 GTT and that pass will definitely get some rubber laid down on it :D Awesome photos too! What...

I believe I did that :p

This is the gayest thread EVER :p

Yes it is true. The owner is Chris Backshell aka Scoff. He has built a high spec turbo'd F4R capable of producing low 10sec sqms at traps of between 144-145mph. His car is built to drag race in the Euro Sports Compact series @ Santa pod (ESC) - a championship open to european brand fast road...

I've done this conversion with Adey, we built the car in a weekend. He managed to get it to pull high 12s at Shakespeare Raceway from memory, if done correctly...you will have a very quick and reliable car :D

I'm 30... I drive an F4R'd R5 GTT, a Ford S Max and very soon a Megane RS250 :cool:

What does the light above the engine warning light mean?

I think a little investment into some harder poundage springs is probably a good idea Richard :cool:

Meow :cool:

No good if the floor of the car isn't smooth and redirecting the air with the aid of a diffuser type arrangement...Do you want me to get my CFD hat on ;)

Re: Bomber's Savage Supercharged Snorting Slut of a Ph1 This is awesome....it would make my car a little 'interesting' to drive if I went down this route, I'll stick with the diff for now though :)

Thanks very muchly :cool:

For a friend... A mate of mine has swapped the engines over, 182 engine into a Ph2 172 car. Everything is complete apart from the inlet manifold... As the thread asks, are the above different?

Balls, sorry to hear that dude. YHPM.

Filled and rebled the cooling system, seems fine now. Getting a new rad tomorrow anyway as I now going to sell the car :cool:

Well my wife uses the car more than me and yesterday she was waffling on about how much the car was cutting out and idling all over the place! I just told her to get on with it...until I drove it today... I picked up my daughter, on the way back the engine temp warning light and the stop light...

Hi! I have started another newbie thread somewhere but that boring so I thought I'd do another! I own a silver Ph1 172 that is 100% oe...well she is currently wearing my white clio willy wheels and is slightly lowered on eibach schprings :rasp:...shes done 47k, owned her coming up to 2 years...

I'm in Swindon - there are loads of 172/182's where I live...I drive a Silver Ph1 172 wearing white clio williams wheels :)

Exactly what mine sounds like! Has done for 16k...:approve:

No worries. You shouldn't have any real issues as long as you take your time.

If the dampers haven't been removed before its a good idea to WD40/Plusgas all the necessary bolts before you try and remove them. They will definitely need to be 'cracked off' i.e breaker bar, extension with a socket just to break the seal thats occurred from the build up of s**t on the...

Invest in an impact gun, makes life so much easier...I've got 3 of the below and they are easily one of my most used tools... http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cir24-24v-cordless-impact-wrench/brand/clarke
