Hi Guys, Does anyone have a copy of the PDF from the VOSA magazine detailing the rear breaks being terrible on a 172 Cup? I have searched on here and all the links I can find are dead. Im taking my car to a new MOT place tomorrow and want to be fully armed for the inevitable 'yes, the breaks...

Hi Guys, Finally fixed the last CEL by changing an injector..... and two days later it has come back on with a new problem, yay cars! This time is is moaning about P0135 - Sensor Heater Circuit (Bank 1, Sensor 1), so it looks like I need a new lambda sensor. Question I have, from this code, do...

Hi Guys, One of my injectors failed so I was just swapping it out, put the fuel rail back on and sheered the bloody bolt connecting the rail to the rest of the engine. Any idea what I need to replace it with and if I can get one from Screwfix or something tomorrow? Will

Hi Guys, My 172 cup developed a misfire at Cadwell which I have since fixed. It's now driving fine, all good.... But the check engine light is still on. I hooked up my odb2 reader to it which is still reporting a misfire.... But it's now fixed. I set it to clear the code but the light...

Hi Guys, Tyre choice is a very personal thing and can end up in an emotive discussion as everyone seems to have their personal preference, likes and dislikes - its like choosing between Apple, Android or Blackberry, some like brand x for whatever reason and others don't. However, in the case...

Hi Guys, I have been looking on the forums and cannot find a definitive answer. Was wondering if you can help. I am planning on changing the standard 172 Cup seats for a couple of seats from a mk2 MR2 or Evo 6 (a friend is going to fabricate mounts, etc). Will this trigger the airbag warning...

Hi Guys, I have a 172 cup and the engine mounts have totally had it. In every gear when pulling hard, it would judder and shake. This weekend I replaced the lower mount (dogbone) with a powerflex poly-bushed jobby and the upper left (next to cam cover) and upper right (under battery) with OEM...

Hi Guys, I have a 172 Cup and the outside temperature sensor was playing up and telling me it was 40C+ outside when (sadly) it wasn't. I read on here that the fix is to replace the sensor in the passenger side mirror. I took the side panel off the mirror today and removed the connector to make...

Hi Guys, I have a 172 cup and its making me pull my hair out. If I don't drive it for a few days, when I turn it on it will be very lumpy. When driving down the road, power seems to be ok, and then just vanishes, then comes back. The check engine light will then flash a bit and turn itself...

Hi Guys, Just got back from a track day and the rear drivers side bearing has gone. I have been reading on here and just about everyone says to just buy a new disc with the bearing built in. However, I am fortunate as my mate has access to industrial presses so can easily pop the old bearing...

Hi Guys, Thought I should introduce myself as I just signed up for a years membership. My names Will, Im from Worcestershire and just bought a 172 Cup as a bit of a weekend and track toy. I picked it up from a nice guy all the way up in the Lake District without tax or MOT and have spent the...
