    Can i remove 182 oil filter without droppng oil

    Screw driver it... I've got a few filter wrenches and sometimes have to bust out Philip and the Thor. I'm sure some people use the wrench to fit the filters because they're tighter than a nuns bifter.

    Steam from exhaust manifold

    Keep an eye on it but don't panic as it will be covered in greasy finger prints, oil etc.. You always have to burn something off.

    NEW dephaser pulley still noisy?

    The guys suggested with look and listen to you car and pretty much know the score.. They can check your timing in minutes if they pop out your cam seals and lock the engine off.. They might charge a few quid but you'll know in 10 minutes exactly where you stand.. This is the option you should...

    Megane Crash...

    The guy needed tuition but went for a track day without.. When his Skillz ran out he hit the wall, flipped the car boot over bonnet and landed on the grass.. Redbull want him to drive soapboxes next summer in London.

    Megane Crash...

    How long does timing belt last on 172?

    Id take the old belt off the other engine and fit it up to the new with all the pulleys, tensioner and dephaser.. It's just been fitted and the valves are toast so it didn't run correctly? id run it, why are people so worried about it, they aren't made of cheese.. get a new belt on its own and...

    NEW dephaser pulley still noisy?

    I agree with everyone else that it's most likely the dephaser.. Id just slot one on keeping the 1000mile old, pulleys etc, but I can't see them sorting it FOC or a specialist swapping it out without changing the rest.. Catch 22...

    Your car when you first joined and now?

    Got it in 2009, did 300 miles and then pulled it apart for repairs.. Slow progress buying parts, repairing rust, having other things to do, but sent for paint in June, but just had its mot Wednesday.

    Headlamp Washer jets

    The motors aren't expensive, you just need a little puller for the wipers as they can be stiffer than morning wood.. Check them..

    Replacement exhaust system?

    This, but add £40 and buy the extra hanger for the middle pipe as it sags like nans swingers..

    Wheel Alignment Cheltenham

    Phone around and make sure they have a hunter or jim laser beam.. I've heard so places charging some stupid money for a toe (£45) when it should be £30 max for the front.. Watch the little screen too and make sure they don't leave the wheel wonky while the show you the screen with your...

    1.8 16v f7p rough idle

    Get on the renault 5 gt turbo forum on Facebook, james Sargent on there has a clio turbo lump in his 5 and it's broken 90% of the time.. I can bet my nads that he's had the same problem before.

    Lsd box woes..

    I'll keep that in mind should it have no effect... At first it was almost half the price, then after I ordered I found it for about £25 difference for the order.. Typical... I'm not tight and I hate doing things twice, but I have another car here bleeding my dry..

    Lsd box woes..

    In the other thread a few members went for Fuchs or redline.. I went with the first as it had a few more shouts than the others.. It's going up against halfords which is in there currently.. Every seems to have an opinion and uses different oils, so it's difficult to choose one.. If my gearbox...

    Lsd box woes..

    I originally just ordered the additive, but others have had luck with better quality oils, so I ordered both... The additive is a last resort.

    Lsd box woes..

    Ok, check the shafts, I believe the one I had fitted originally was the OE one which knocked, then a welded/strengthened one after which was an inch longer which also knocks.. No idea why I was given 2 welded shafts, I'm still awaiting an answer but he's not been on whatsapp a few days.. I'm...

    Lsd box woes..

    I'm sure I have the OE shaft kicking about and at the moment I'm speculating a little.. It's been 5-6 years since I've seen it last so I'll have to hunt it down...

    Lsd box woes..

    I totally agree with that but after reading some of the issues with the oil and the fact I just went down halfords tells me it could well be that.. I've watched a few videos of other people's problems and it's a toss up between the 2 problems. The box came from an owner who runs one of the...

    Having a real disastrous time trying to match paint without a paint code.

    I know this a-hole that sent his wheels off for a refurb and the went back and forth 3 times I think before they repainted the wheels and caps.. They looked ok straight on but at an angle they look well out... If a paint shop can't get it right, you have absolutely no chance.. You need them to...
