Engines are same just you have to use the 172 upper inlet and vacc line for carbon canister, map etc remains same

12mm with the big pins (probably at least 12mm dia), the rest are for 1.2's etc

should've come to me ;)

I don't give a toss what the F7R or F7P engine uses, i'm on about the F4R as stated, and that's what the OP's car has as an engine

^most cars these days are painted mate, they'd rust otherwise

over £10k quite easily i would imagine!

give me an hour or 2 and i'll tell you the correct overall length

just drill and tap a fitting onto the inlet and then remote mount the MAP with pipes and clip etc?

could be yes, we cut about 20mm off the ends of the new rods, if they compare the length of the old ones with the new ones they'll see the difference in length!

OE on the F4R is Purflux, i wouldn't fit anything else!

^they were moaning about £12 for a burger earlier, you have no chance!

i don't get it, all they needed to do was get a pair of track rod ends from euro car parts/gsf etc, you can even get after market inner rods from them aswell?? Its a 1hour job tops, sounds like they can't be bothered

moving it under the car just move's the problem somewhere else!

by the way the inner tie rods from renault are too long for the 172 and need cutting down, they only offer the longer cup ones but cross over to the 172! They fit fine, but they bottom out in the track rod end when doing the alignment and hence you'll run with too much toe in and f**k the tyres

i hope so, my bum hole has been going like a rabbits nose, but that may have been the curry

indeed, please tell said idiot to take the car back to the idiot who did the work and tell him to sort it

cut the ends off and stick a bolt up there with a bit of silicone/glue etc

don't fit a replacement, just block the pipes for good

all 4

carbon canister, just unplug the pipe below the MAP sensor and put your finger over the pipe (engine side) and it'll disappear

get a video or something, or swing by the workshop tomorrow

well how the bloody hell else do you take an ariel shot from 100ft up???

big ladder that one

salt and pepper with a dash of garlic

Its not too high comp, cam's are no good! Anyway i need my volvo back, any chance of a lift!!

i know the managers/owners of most pubs LOL, they need their car's fixing too!

you only need 5 ;) as long as it meets RN0710 spec then its fine

correct EVERYTHING (bar the block and crank) has been binned

but you'll still get numpties saying "10W40 is too thick you have to use 5W40"

^if you knew the full story you'd understand why it hasn't gone back to either, ask Andy how much his hotel/travel bill was, and i doubt they gave him the best courtesy car on the planet ;)
