Apart from brake, it would seem...

Why is your caliper on upside down?

Legend @Ads29! My passenger window didn't go up when I left work at -2 today, it was a fecking cold drive home. Found the guide and had it up in minutes. Just need to find stock of a new switch now!

I have got a rear ARB to fit to my 182. I was thinking of just getting it on some ramps, undoing the dampers, fitting the ARB and compressing the dampers back to line up, bolt in and do it all up nice and tight. Any issues with this way?

Need a CAT quickly for my MOT. Is the cheapo one on ECP/CP4L and good? It's made by React. Or I've heard people mention Klarius, any good? If not, what should I get? I think mine is OEM, so knackered. So this new one is probably to keep on it. I don't want to spend money on a sport CAT either...

I cable tied the crap out of the mounts. Also, the end of the arm has thread in it, so put some large washers on and loctite’d the thread on a bolt.

My plan was to replace the belt, tensioner and idler (all new genuine Renault parts). I'll also check everything spins freely. Not sure how the belt slacking off would cause problems to the internals of pumps etc.

Any thoughts?

My fan belt recently started to squeak, and I'd lost power steering, belt was slack, so ordered a new tensioner & belt. Started with the job and instantly noticed the alternator was loose, the pics speak for themselves, but I've lost both mount bolts for the alternator, and the supporting...

no probs. That was to HW centre...

says 38 mins, plus we'd need to do it, probably not enough.

Are you about today?! I'm about from now till 5ish!

Sure, but I'd like to know so I can just try to find the bit I need or swap it and not mess about...

Fine. pulls through the revs etc. not lumpy at all My mate is coming along (but not track driving) in his 172, so could possibly swap bits about!
