My 172...

[Paul.Clarke]

I've owned this since July haven't really done anything to it yet, apart from having it serviced with new cam and auxiliary belt kits.

But I do have a nice big pile of bits waiting to be fitted when I get time

After owning it for 2 days it decided that it didn't want to run anymore...

This was why..

Little update.... Had loads of bits so started to get them on the car over the last few weeks.

Started with all the bits that needed doing so it had a new cam belt kit and aux belt kit, new water pump and full service.
While I was doing this I found a nice oil leak from the sump the next job was to replace that, so another call to Colin at West Group Renault to get a new gasket which arrived in no time at all Also found the dog bone mount was shot to pieces so got a new power flex one ordered up.

Anyway here's some pics of the parts, will get a few more of the car as it stands late.
