Hi All,
I need to replace my or repair my washer jet pump as its stopped working. Pretty confident there are no blockages as I have disconnected the pipes from washer jets and can freely blow air back into the tank and see it bubbling.
I started having a look today and it looks like the pump...
Had a moment today where my remote central locking would refuse to work.
Key fob led was lighting correctly when pressing the button but the doors would refuse to lock.
When sat in the car and pressing the lock button on dash, all the doors would lock fine.
When I locked the passenger side...
Hi Guys,
My car (mk2 172) has seemed to develop a consistent flat spot between 1.5k and 2.5k when coming up to running temperature. I've had the car 2+ years now and although I've had it serviced each year (oil/filters), i'm sure the spark plugs have not been checked/changed.
So, think its...
I’ve had my SERV, TC and ABS lights on for months now. On the last MOT the guys did a diagnostics and said the code coming back was to-do with the steering angle sensor. At the time, they just cleared the fault to pass the MOT.
Anyhow, this morning, I started to have a poke around as there...
Hey All,
Went camping in wales at the weekend and took the long way back to Bristol to go up and over the A4069 across Brecon. Awesome roads and amazing scenery. Car was pretty dirty but dont often get pics in Bristol with such good backdrop! Enjoy :D
Mine seems to be! A while back I tried to use it to raise the car and it was so difficult! My car is lowered so even though it was easy to fit the jack under the car, it was very difficult to turn it and raise the car! The jack is easy to wind when under no load and has plenty of grease, I...
Evening All,
I have been adjusting my suspension this evening in preparation for combe trackday on the 24th.
I have H&R coilover suspension on my 172 which is set quite low :o
Its quite noticeable when I go out for a "fun" drive that there's scrubbing when cornering hard.
I don't...
Evening all,
A while back i bought a sub and box from a member on here, the main reason i bought it was because it was in a box which fitted into the sidewall of the boot and to my suprise it also came with a 3000W pioneer sub.
It was to replace my 600W sub running from a pioneer 300w amp...
Hey guys,
I been advised by the garange a couple of times now that my rear discs and pads are knackered so as im doing combe next month im looking into getting them replaced.
Because im getting lazier as i get older, i decided to go and get a quote at a garage for the work. £250 for parts...
Hey guys,
I have my first 172 MOT coming up in Jan and have a few questions about some things i'm not sure will pass:
Number plates - when I bought the car, it has 3/4 size number plates I think (there certainly not standard size anyhow) Will this fail?
Suspension - The coilovers on the...
I spent far to much time trying to get my head-unit fitted correctly this weekend in my 172.
Has anybody else experienced a problem where-by there are just so many wires and connectors at the back of the hu that they all get bunched up and stop you from being able to push the hu in corretly...
Hi guys,
I noticed today whilst doing a job in the engine bay that there appears to be a gap between the top rubber mounts on my suspension.
The gap I would say is about 3-5mm between the rubber mount and the car chassis. It is the same on both sides.
The car has got H&R coilovers...
Can anybody recommend a good, reasonably priced auto electrician around the Bristol area. I need to get the fan blower sorted on my 172 and am sure the problem is more involved then just a broken resistor pack.

If I cant make any more...
I’m pretty sure my heater resistor pack is knackered as I have no fans working. Before splashing out to buy a new one, I wanted to be certain that this is the problem.
I have been trying to follow some instructions I found on the net without much success...
Hey guys,
I've had my 172 about a week now and I really need to silence the exhaust a little.
It currently has a GDI Piper cat back system fitted (it used to be FlameR's 172) which sounds and looks awesome, however with my girlfriend leaving for work at 4 in the morning, i'm sure our...
