Re: Cavernous pothole = steering wheel not straight, pulls to the right, dodgy full l Yeah, both halfords and Kwik fit who have the Hunter alignment malarchy, but I just get the same s**t. I'm happy to start replacing some likely culprits under my own steam, unless it starts getting to...

Re: Cavernous pothole = steering wheel not straight, pulls to the right, dodgy full l Hi mate, North London or Colchester (where I work) Thanks man

Morning All, I recently hit a rather monstrous pothole on the passenger side front wheel, I swear it must of been half a foot deep (hit at night). Now my steering wheel is not straight when I drive straight and is turned to the left. The car feels twitchy over uneven surfaces and is proper...

Thanks Budgie I've PMed you. ​

Thanks for the replies. The link below is why I'm looking into a new motor http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzd8Kffya2c

Hi everyone, I'm thinking of replacing my 92k motor with a lower mileage 172 or maybe 182, I know I would probs be better buying a whole new car, but me and the car have been through alot (sad I know). I would love to have a go myself but i live in London and have no garage to carry out major...

Cheers for getting back to me Fred, that what I was thinking. I was thinking of putting a low mileage motor into it, dont suppose you know someone that will do removal and fitting? Also, will a 182 fit into a 172 engine bay? Thanks again for your response.

Good day all, I've got an annoying ticking when engine is at running temp. I've had the Belts, de-phaser and plugs done. Engine has done 92k, if anyone has any ideas/solutions, I would be most grateful!! I've uploaded a video to youtube...

It happened at a campsite and the keys probably ended up in the giant sewage tank. Getting them back isnt an option so I need replacement advice really.

Someone please please help! My keys including fob have been flushed down the toilet, I havent got a spare either. The immobiliser is an after market TOAD one which is separate to the ignition key and it unlocks the central locking. I have no idea where to start getting this sorted, I live in...

Morning everyone, I have a slight crunch in the gearbox when I change into 3rd. It only does when I'm booting it a bit, if I shift it in gently at low revs there's nothing. Any ideas? I've seen some second hand gearboxes on ebay but not sure if that's a necessary step at this stage. Thanks...

Much appreciated, ill keep everyone posted on the service.

Morning everyone, I'm taking my 172 in for its first service (since I've had it) I think there is some work to be done. Does anyone have a suggestions/recommendations for some good mechanics/garages in or around Colchester where I wont get my pants pulled down. ​Thanks very much for any info.

​Hey everyone, Just wondering if someone can point me in the right direction before i head to the garage. I've got an 04 172 with 86k on it, I've started losing power in the low rev range, when i put my foot down i get a what sounds like a slight wheeze. Its ok at higher rev range but not what...

Hi everyone, Has anyone anyone got a toad alarm, not sure which model it is but it has a black key fob with a Green button and a Black one. The issue I have is that I lock the car and it beeps and the doors are locked, but when i come back the doors are unlocked but the Alarm is still armed...

Ello everyone. Just bought a 2004 172 and there is an intermittent crunch on 3rd gear only and doesn't do it all the time you can't hear the crunch you can only feel it , doesn't do it all the time but when putting it in fourth you can feel it slightly. Any ideas? Paul
