Hi all, well basically i posted on here a while ago regarding a whining noise coming from what appeared to be a belt/tensioner. The car was due a new cam and aux belt change, so i have now had this done, including the dephaser, but the nose is still there. It is exactly the same noise as before...

The first is a slight whine, more noticable on idle and when taking off, it doesn't seem to get any louder at higher revs over say 3500rpm. Could this be one of the belts? Secondly - when lights are on at night and i dab the brakes, the fog light dashboard light flickers. Any help would be...

Hi, I have just had a service, oil change, filters, plugs etc with no immediate problems. However, about an hour after and a 20-30 miles the car has developed a bad misfire and is chugging in every gear. Would having a set of brand new plugs potentially expose a faulty coilpack? Thanks

Everytime i've been in Cardiff recently i've had what i'd consider a non-sport (1.2/1.4) usually with neons etc try and race me. Is this standard procedure? Was wondering if the welsh boys on here could shed some light on the situation. Cheers

Hi all Since fitting some new discs and pads on my 172 cup, the brake lights only come on when really slamming on. Has anybody else experienced the problem and how easy is it to adjust? Thanks

Hi all, it has come time to replace the front discs and pads on my 172 cup. I have been looking at the Brembo hc discs and ferodo ds2500 pads package from k-tec. I know many of you use these and rate them highly. Due to the fact that i don't intend to track my car is there an alternative...

Hi all I have owned my 172 cup for around 10 months now, but being fairly new to the forum i thought i would post 2 or 3 pics of the car. Cheers
