Cheers didn't know there was a detailing section.

Hi all just a quick question. What does everyone use to polish their cars? I use a merguires scratch x 2.0 to get rid of any contaminants on the body. Then autoglym deep shine for the darker cars. Then the ultra high gloss protection stuff. But its just not shiny enough I want it to be like glass.

I had a similar problem with my first 172. Leads had broken up so changed and it sorted it. Also regarding fuel mine hated anything other than shell vpower.

Finally it looks to be sorted changed a couple of sensors and its been running up to temp and didnt die

Well its still the same new knock sensor and key fired up turned it off wont fire up again. Dunno if I should try the new crank sensor even though its a new one on it

Once its cleaned up ill get some pictures up. Its monaco blue I want some gold supert's or even standard wheels in gold. Needs coilovers so it sits nicer. Interior is spot on even the wheel is in one piece not chewed to bits

Cheers bud me too still only got 100 in bits so not too bad

Gonna replace the smashed off knock sensor when I get home and see what happens. Apparently they work when the engine gets to temp which is when mine dies so touch wood its gonna help

Under the fuel injectors there is a sensor of some description going into the block and the plug is broken off by the look of it dunno what it senses

Crank oil seal

Just turns over. Let it run until it got to temp and like before it cut out just before the temp gauge hit the middle. It then cut out and wouldn't start up again just turned over

Well it's happened again warmed up died and wont start. Still no codes in the clip diagnostic.

Its fired up again now sounds smooth not missing. Dare not run it now as it's fairly loud and seems to attract folk in the street. The only thing I've done is put the ecu back in the carrier and covered all the fuse box back up. Ill get the clip on it again see if its logged anything since its...

dropped them an email, cheers

dont suppose you know of any in leeds do you?

ive had it plugged into a renault diagnostic machine and nothings coming up fault wise. it wouldnt start at all last week had it fire up and run now it died after about 5 mins and wont start

damn it, i knew it was too good to be true. had it ticking over and after 5 mins it cut out and wont fire up again

Yeah thought I'd take a risk and its paid off. Needs a decent clean out and mot'ing also some standard wheels but really happy now

Its alive!!!!! All smiles now its a proper bargain only cost me 400 for the car and a coil pack for 37. Its only done 61k ordered some leads too will be here tomorrow. It definitely needs them as I got a belt off the thing. Cheers for all the help. Gonna become a fully paid up member too

Just got the coil pack off found it cracked along the bottom pretty much all the way around

cheers ill give it a whirl after work tomorrow

Doesn't seem to be. It smells of fuel but just wont fire ive taken the tdc sensor out that was fit and gave it another cleanare the coil packs ommon for going?

Hi everyone. Just joined the forum today. Currently on my 2nd 172 loved the first one that much I had to get another. Woth the way this ones behaving I should have kept the first one. First one was silver 02 plate sold it to move house. Regretted it for 3 years so bought another in monaco blue...
