Ok found a loose bolt on top of the gearbox but close to the bulk head and I'm not talking about the big flat earth strap on the side. This strap was loose enough to move but looked tight, after tightening it up I turned the key and watched as that red immobiliser light distinguished whoop whoop...

Hi yes been off for a year battery was also cream crackered any links for a reset?

I just tested all the relays and they work I manually wired up the fuel pump from the battery and it hummed so it works. I'm guessing the immobilized is holding it off is there anyway to bypass the immobiliser or reset it or anything?

I have 12v to the pump but when I link a wire across to any other pin nothing happens

Yep checked that all good

Hi, my 172 FF I have just replaced the gear box but when I came to fire her up a year later nothing so I changed the battery as it was fucked so now she turns over. Next problem no fuel feeding the injectors as I disconnected it and I can't hear the pump prime. I cleaned the relay's (3 small...

Yes

Ah I have just spotted my tensioner mark was out so I just adjusted it but it became loose it seems I have cracked the thread so it won't tighten properly so need to get some threaded bar to replace it now maybe the clicking was the tensioner loosening off very strange as I never horsed it up

Well yeah I had the locking tool in and the cam horseshoe and the flywheel mark in line with 0 but my horseshoe cam lock is slightly bent and I mean slightly not enough in my opinion to be out on the dephaser by one tooth think it's just the cheaply manufactured

I suppose one question is if I was one tooth out on the dephaser would this cause that noise

Hi all just spotted this on eBay 161784095110 how can you tell if it's real or any good just been quoted 185 from renault seems legit to me buts it's half the price

Really how can you tell? Is it worth buying new cams then?

Yea that worked lol cheers you are being such a good help I was going to drill a new hole for it and bolt together lol but it's way too long as it leaves a big gap as in picture think I'm going to return it and get a better one

This one shows cam shaft tool in and line on flywheel in view but flywheel bolt won't it needs to spin a bit more but then the other two are way off

Spark not spare

Ok where should the line be either linked email in view and camshaft lock in place the fly wheel bolt next to the dip stick won't go in fully will try the spare plug way as soon as I find the right socket

Is this it I took the picturevoff the Internet

I see the hole and the marks on the housing but span the whole thing I could not see what was supposed to be lining up on the fly wheel it was early this morning when I looked maybe I was tired and it was obvious

My pin is in the hole next to the dip stick but not sure about the flywheel timing mark it does not mention that on the guide it just says turn over engine till pin fits in crank and cam shafts are somewhere near horizontal so that the cam tool will slot in but mine won't obviously as not lined up
