    Egg smell, slight misfire at idle, EML light on - 172

    As stated in the title! I'm thinking the CAT is dead. However after doing some homework I've noticed that misfires can cause the above. It was serviced a few months ago however the HT leads have never been replaced and it's on 93k now, worth doing? Has anyone had similar problems? Thanks :)

    1*2 cup holders - Can they be modified to fit larger cans/bottles?

    I've had a look through some other threads and no luck. Has anyone modified the bottom part of the air con/heater unit so a larger can/bottle can fit? It's great for smaller cans, it's just a tad annoying for anything bigger.

    I have the KTR Ultra performance cat back system on already and am thinking of getting a de-cat, on K-tec's website they sell the de-cat to fit the system. Do I have to buy the K-tec de-cat or does any other 2.5" Bore de-cat fit it? Thanks

    Headlight beam low?

    With dipped beam on it's all nice and bright but not great distance wise (I know that's what full beams are for) With my old 172 I could drive round at night without really bothering with full beam but with my 182 it's bordering on dangerous.
