Right... I picked a phase 2 172 up ready for the scrap yard. Replaced pretty much everything there is to replace except the engine internal and gearbox (was only 78k on clock). I did have the dephaser, cambelt kit, aux, alternator & battery done for the engine. It unfortunately leaves some nice...

Hey All, Every time it rains I go out and find there is 1cm deep puddles in my rear footwells... especially the offside (drivers side) rear footwell. Could someone tell me what seal is letting this water in and where it's draining. I'm desperate to stop this before it causes too much damage.

​I've had this Juddering/Vibration for a while now. I've had pretty much everything changed on this damn car so getting quite frustrated with it. When turning left and putting some load on the front right wheel it feels like I'm going over a load of those lines in the road (the ones you go over...

I need to change my air filter in my 172 as I have no idea what is is but I know it looks terrible and is seriously dirty. It's a cone filter, possibly K+N. What filter should I change to? I don't have the original airbox or pipe. I've read loads of threads talking about filters losing power...

Lady driver. I did put my hand up. Black Sport - Stratford Upon Avon this morning

Broken Silver 182 with an orange tow rope off the front of it. Sat in a lay-by by the M42 J10 yesterday (Sunday). There was at least six 12 year old girls around the car and a few lads too. I'm assuming too much ragging about by Hams Hall? I hope you managed to get home.

Simple question. I want a stainless bill style front tow eye for my 172. preferably no drilling out for bolts behind but if required then I will do. Can people add links of where I go to buy one. eBay simply isn't helpful and in worried ill order the wrong one.

Hi All, Please could someone let me know what exhaust I have. It has a slight hole in the front section and is sounding like a boy racing saxo. See pic below for help:

For a while now my 172 has had a seriously frustrating issue with 'pulling back'. When driving the car from cold especially it's like the brakes are on. Accelerating no matter what speed it feels like I'm towing a tank... when changing gear it slows very quickly. When putting into 5th at 30mph...

One of my lights has an autolevel issue and I cannot manually level it either as the screw to which it attaches appears to have broken. Am I able to get another pair off ebay and swap the auto levels? I do t know what they consist of but I imagine they ate removable? If not ill be forced to get...

Red 1.2 Clio in the Solihull area on Saturday 16th Feb. Really nice pair of lads. I hope you guys managed to get back safely and get the work done you needed to :)

Is this as easy as it looks? Could someone identify the steps to removing this? My guess is: 1. Support the engine/gearbox with a jack 2. Undo the center bolt of this mount (seems tricky as it turns - guess i need to get to it underneath?) 3. Undo the 2 outside bolts and remove the mount...

Hey all, I've finally got my Mk2 Phase 2 172 on the road and going ok. I've got a few niggles to iron out but above that I wanted to ask what I needed for a track session. What parts would be useful to take as spares? What tools would be good to take? Do i need to have a full brake...

Hey All, I need to change my mounts as they are shot. The top left engine mount just moves above pretty freely. I want to uprate my mounts but don't want to fit K-tec and rattle my bones to dust. 1. I cant seem to find an uprated top left engine mount (apart from k-tec). Will the Lemforder...

Spotted you parked at the shops. It is a nice looking car :)

Hey All, A question that has probably been asked about 1 million times. Which is best to go for? 16" or 17"? My views: 16" is clearly cheaper and also will fit my current brand new tyres i have fitted to my 16" 172. 17" are £200 more expensive but they do look that little bit smarter...

I'm in need of the power unit that the Xenon bulb plugs in to. One of them is faulty and it flicks the bulb on and off. I know you know will be able to steer me in the right direction for obtaining a replacement.

Hi All, I'm new to all this. I had the great idea of picking up a cheap 172 and then doing a few bits to get it roadworthy. The aim was to drive it around the roads until next summer and get used to the car and how it drives. Then work on it uprating things as I go along and then drive it...

Hi All, I need some help. I'm replacing the front seats in my 172 phaze 2 and have won some seats on ebay. To be honest i didn't really do any research before buying them and now think i may have made a mistake? Could anyone help me out. Can these seats me fitted in a 172 phase 2? I believe...
