Take the actual caliper off the pad carrier, then they will lift out, push the piston back an put new pads int eh carrier, slot the caliper over the pads and then do the bolts back up.

It should make the engine less ticky.....but being a proper tappet system, it will allways tap. Its in the haynes if you got that. Not hard at all...jsut twisting a few nuts.

EH!!! make an adaptor so that you dont have to turn it over...so youve actually got more to do....its still the same bolts your undoing.

Yup, its behind the dash and its cable driven off the drive above the diff. Its literally right behind your speedo dail.

OH! lol The energy! Yea, you can simply reset the clearances on them then! haha

Stiffer rear will make the car oversteer more, but your only playing with damping rates, not spring rates.

DOT4

DO NOT bother with it. seriously.

You wont get it done for 1700 in the end......linkages, throttle cables, sensors, the loom, filters, air boxes, consumables etc etc etc. Most people only ever factor for the simple hardware. On your cup your choices are very limited, making the manifold isnt too hard if you know what to...

lol....sowwy hippy....... you can bend it.

The MAP sensor (did u really have to write the entire word lol) is on teh offside of the bulkhead witha vacuum pipe going to it. You mentioned that it would idle fine from start and start screwing about later on moving up and down. Id still check the speedo sender connection, if you cant hold...

u cant.

Its camber as they said, wear from the incorrect pressures is either in the middle if over inflated, or both edges if under inflated. Any garage with tracking gear can sort your camber, assuming you have the camber correcting bolts since the std suspension isnt adj.

Your probably quite far off a 182 as it is and youll need some pretty decent tuning done.

Most of the running problems are associated with the speedo cable as there is a hall sender on it which gives the ECU its speed data and prevents the engine from stalling. Usually that, the coolant temp sensor, potentiometer or MAP sensor.

On the 172? The tappets are of a very different design and shouldnt go, especially not on a car this age. You sure its not just your injectors?

its 2 bolts people!!! you need to run it over otherwise the HT lead off it will touch the strutbar.

Yup, fully road legal.....you need a 17% tread to be legal. And they are great, worth about 2+ secs a lap. Most people in HK use them as daily tyres since milage is so low there. But you wont see more than 2K out of them if used daily....and they cost a freaking fortune. Avons ones...

THey dont wear as bad as people say. Ive done about 2 track days and about 80 laps on 2 circuts on them...no probs. if you slide the rear, the fronts wont wear that fast at all! lol They aint great on wear though.

Yup, you gotta take the struts out and turn the coil upside down.

The linkage which splits to the 2 brakes isnt the best and its rare to see a valve brake the same amount on both rears. One is always stronger.

Go up and down?

off the megane sports, not the laguna

yup.........remote diagnosis! real bugger lol Any update ben?

Usualy just the connection under the seat that causes it.

Thought that, but the servo hold a resevior so unless he was touching the brakes after ever application of the throttle then they might just seem a tad harder.

In total agreement. 250bhp isnt as easy as many people make out, especially with the technical level of engineeing that most companies put out. Its all bits and bobs from companies slapped together. I very much doubt that anybody has put in any time into combustion chamber design or the...

Inlet manifold expanding? The brake servo hose is connected to the inlet manifold and a leak would bleed unmetered air into the engine making it judder.

In traffic, when stationary the fan pulls through the rad........but if its easier for air to be pulled round the rad, air will follow that path. It might no be the case between overheating or not, but it does help.....air doent like flowing through a rad.
