172 Ph2 new owner

[jageillichap]

Hi all im Jage, aerospace student, studying in london, staying at girlfriends in farnham and home being over near wales!

Picked myself up a monaco blue ph2 172 yesterday afternoon that needs tidying up. Bodywork is in good condition, cars on 94k and due belts soon but for under £600 with mot im not exactly complaining!

Needs a headlight polishing and some scratched bits inside but all shall be dealt with. Bought it by accident in a mad few minutes on ebay which was interesting, now need to get rid of a couple of cars due to having a saxo vtr show car, 106 gti, 106 rallye and a mk1 caddy 20vt (hoarder i know)

Need to find someone in the surrey area that can do my rear wheel bearings as i have no tools at uni unfortunately and live 130 miles away! Dont fancy driving it back over as it isnt in great shape (the bearing that is) gonna tidy it up a bit before using on the occasional trackday!

Shall get some pics today

Welcome along

The rear bearings on your car are built into the rear discs, makes sense/more cost effective to change the rear discs tbh

Check these are there if both are humming:

Ye did it today! Drivers side only took me 20 minutes, funny that they share a rear caliper with peugeots!

Found a right bodge passenger side where someone had heli coiled the pad carrier thread tho

By luck I had a spare caliper from my rallye in the shed so took me about an hour but swapped the whole caliper which was a god send in the end as the piston seal was damaged and the calipers didn't match! Now they do and braking is 100x better with no noises whatsoever
Passedmot with no advisories too which for a car which had a list of faults aslong my arm when I bought it or supposedly had and iv only changed the discs I'm a happy bunny haha
