    172 knocking noise

    Got to work this morning turned the car off like normal and was greeted to a knocking noise. I’m thinking maybe engine/gearbox mount? It doesn’t knock under driving or heavy acceleration just when I turn the car off! Anyone experienced this before? Cheers!

    182 headgasket?

    Got the head off today and it’s all abit rusty inside! And evidence of k seal too. Should all be okay once I’m done with it. And found a nice big piece of sealant in the oil pickup which was nice.

    182 headgasket?

    Certainly nothing in the history that I’ve got saying it’s been done before. Although it does worry me that it’s got a 172 breather system on it even though it’s a 182, albeit it is one of the first! Exactly this, hoping my cause of low compression is the head gasket. Ideally I’d like to do a...

    182 headgasket?

    Cheers for the reply! I had to do the compression test stone cold so they may have come up a bit at operating temp. It’s certainly goes well this engine. Reckon I’ll change the gasket, is there any scope for refacing the head?

    182 headgasket?

    My 182 has a strange issue and I can’t seem to pinpoint what the cause of it is. Ever since I’ve owned it it’s always used abit of coolant but nothing excessive. But recently it’s started spitting coolant out the header tank, but the temp gauge never moves, no steam out the back or mixing of...

    x85 clio cup car price?

    Seen them as low as £13k and as high as £25-30k. I'd be checking for crash history, any major repairs etc make sure the parts are R-sport stamped and history of gearbox overhauls as they are expensive to have done.
