what the heck is a sandwich plate (beside the ceramic type you eat sandwiches from)?!

No wonder they didnt know what they were doing! why would you take it to a Vauxhall garage?! (I really do hate Vauxhall's and there garages)

Sounds like the best bet to me :) Let us know how it turns out for furture readers.

ok, so they do or they dont?! We seem to have a mix of opinions, anyone know the definitive answer?

Im sure people have siad dephasers go gradually, not straight away like you discribe... Also compaired to the other videos I have listened to, this sounds nothing like the dephaser. The other ones I have heard sound more like diesel engines (more of a chatter then a tick).

lol, they are clean now :) that picture was taken when I first got the car :p

This is also true, and why I was worried...

Your point is well made! Thanks.

ah ok. Does it also stop water from reaching the belt? Does it even matter if water gets on the belt (from rain etc)?!

lol. Surely it will cause it to rust!?!

as title and shown in the image below. Its collects on driver side more than the passenger side...

Personally I would be, but i worry about the smallest of things!

Surely the power to weight on a 172 is nearly the same as a 200 so 'booting it on the moterway' would give the same acceleration?! :S Glad you liking it though :)

im suprised I havent been burnt yet after my comments lol

yeah, its just anouther variation of trim/accessories, like the 'expression' etc

The renault sport engines are much more of a b**ch to do than a lot of other cars + you would need all the locking and tensioning tools. I have done other cars in the past but wouldnt dream of doing my 182. Its also a very tight working area. Im not saying you shouldnt do it yourself if your...

lmao, cant wait for the outcome of this! Get there reponce on video!!

How are you guys getting your cars through the MOT with de-cats? I had to put my cat on each time I has an MOT on my 1.2 which was bloody annoying to say the least!

I have a peco on my 1.2, its not overloud at all. In fact, it sounds almost identical to my 182 when idling! When reving, it has a deep rumbling sound that brakes into a roar at a bout 4500rpm. When I bought the exhaust many years ago (6 year ago), I was looking for something really loud and was...

This was ment for general discussion, not for the Technical section (which it has been moved to)...

At a guess, I would say not! Either something is loose in/on the pump or the shaft is bent.

Yes thats becasue its the OLD tensioner!! that image is just showing the lining that used to be there (which isnt anymore), as stated in my OP - "which can be seen in the pic below on the left before the work was done" :p Thanks for the info johnff. Can anyone else shed light on the purpose of...

see this thread for the full info :) >>>> http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?616835-PAS-belt-problem

After getting my PAS problems fixed I asked for the parts back to see how bad they were worn. I was shocked to see that the belt had actually caused more damage to the tensioner than the other way around! These aux belts must be stong as hell! I would have expected the belt to have snapped...

did anyone else also first ready this thread as 'Hit a car last night......' or just me?! :p

thats a really good spot lol.

+1, I hate the way some cat owners think they can just let there cats roam all over the place. You wouldnt do this with any other type of animal! Im not saying it right to not be humane, if you did hit the cat then check its either dead or call the rspca to help it asap, but dont feel guilty for...

My PAS problems have been fixed now with a new PUMP and aux belt kit :) I noticed the garage left the side lining out though (which can be seen in the pic below on the left before the work was done), is this ok or does it need to be in there? Whats its purpose in life?

Are you guys having a joke or something?! Its a 182 with a body kit to make it unique; i would hardly call it 'the shittest car ive ever seen'. Yes the price is a bit high, but the amount of negative comments about this guys car seems a bit over the top! IMO it dosnt look that bad at all; yes it...

lol. Thanks incy!
