double your budget and go for a suzuki ltz. it runs a drz400 engine - so parts are easierly available. The engines are very reliable as long as valves/timing chains are adjusted, and they get regular oil changes. stick with a known brand as at least you will see some return when you come to...

tbh for the cambelt kit i would cut out renault and get the gates kit from my local motor factor. same thing just a different box.

obviously it was serviced. but the cost always covered and lost in the truck maintence, it was classed as a fleet vehicle. the OP was refering to the cost to him.

not really, 1 it wasnt being drven hard 2. the build quality of the older mercs is brillant still ran spot on when it was sold. thats why the spanish use them as taxis

not bad really,. me mum used to have a merc e class diesel. apart from a 2 set of tyres and a set of brakes all round, it cost 20p in ten years. small clip on the throttle broke. bought with 25k on the clock and sold with 125k on the clock

its a scam gumtree is terrible for it

do you have a link?

pm'd

im after one anyone know where i can hold of one??

looks better in white but unfortunately as said it now looks like a replica

car is pretty much back together will get some pics up in a bit

free listing you never know.

having a major clearout of all my stuff, few clio bits available from my 172. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/ford_spares88/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686

its bent round. no idea why but will probably have a filter so i not too worried about it. im surprized you even had brakes tbh as the brake servo take off point is on the wrong side facing into the alternator bracket. unless they ran a modified pipe, they couldnt be fitted properly.

just look for the discoloured parts on them. i got the car with a snapped timing belt and it had bent all the valves and just simply pushed all the rockers off. never owned let alone rebuilt any renault before so just lack of knowledge really.

yep sorted simple mistake - rockers the wrong way round!! :S that will be the last time i buy a car with i know nothing about with a snapped timing belt. oh well after seeing danny use the proper tools as well to aline everything, im kinda glad it happened as there is no way you could retorque...

Re: my 172 on ebay currently at £820 with NO RESERVE runs out in 24 hours grab a barg its usually cheaper and more time effective. i did for my last car . get a collection date and time, and as said if he dont stick to it offer it to the next highest bidder

no as the cams would still be out of time

see im 99% sure this is what i done. the only thing i can think of is one of the rockers has fallen off when the rocker cover was fitted. im going to check it over again tomorrow and start from the begining

cheers mate. reprofile items so still have the renault method of timing. i'm gonna have another go tomorrow

hi fred yes all the bits. can you confirm which way the cams should be? the timing belt was snapped when i orginally bought the car and my dealings with this engine

the laser one which is about as good as a chocolate ashtray

basicly looking for someone to time my engine in. someone ideally within 50 miles of datford kent. car has uprated valve springs and a set of piper cams. headgasket etc has been replaced. i have tryed it doing it my self according to autodata info and the cambelt guide off of here. and the...

i ended up cutting mine, though i did managed to loosen the bolts a bit first before. i jammed up the nut with a lever bar to stop it turning.

clutch is knackered by the sounds of it. if its juddering that bad i would say its been overheated at some point and warped.

some copper grease on the pad edges, where the pad touches the carrier, and back should cure this.

engine and gearbox are back together so hopefully some progress will be made soon cheers mate building it myself. mechanic by trade so pointless paying some else to do it.

i have seen mixed opinions but as with everything, there is tyres, bush condition, other mods to consider, which i has never seen posted up. most people dont have £1000 to spend on suspension, so i can see why they dont sell a lot of kits. like with everything its down to opinion, and on a...

Same as any forum really one person has an opinion says its s**t and the flock follow as above I found them fine on other cars I have owned so change???

Tbh I have had them on various other cars road and track and can't fault them. I did see a few people on here didn't like them or thought they were no good and tbh I reckon they probably just didn't set them up right.
