I haven't done anything as my btb dosnt slip, but as a suggestion how about some packing under the clamp so its tighter.

If its got the better looking front end, its a phase 1.

Guess that's about it then, so thanks for advice, will get parts ordered up.

Cambelt change is due timewise, excluding tools what do I need from Renault. Already got oil/filter and may fit ac delete while im there so don't need aux belt at this time. So cambelt, dephaser? at 68000, what else.

Bracing yourself on the clutch pedal, instead of the foot rest, and no not entirely serious.

Guessing you mean another, not actually new, always a few on ebay.

Can buy 3 of those and afford to change it every 3000 miles.

All for making tools if possible, done engine hoist, ramps, oil filter remover and a few more smaller items. Probably not actually saved much money if I had had to buy all the materials.

Still got mine, does need a wash though, now it works for a living.

Pay 2 thirds the value of the car for a cambelt, guess I will drive mine till it breaks then.

I tried to get one from euro car parts (or similar) to be told dealer only, despite seeing them advertised on ebay, I bought one but it didn't fit, still only £150 each from Renault. Phase 1 by the way,

Don't know much about tt,s really, is it turbo/4 wheel drive? then enormous amount of fabrication using most of the bottom half of the tt I would have thought. Cost depends on how much you can do yourself.

Yeah my first 172 came with apex, just couldn't live with them on a daily basis.

I wouldn't fancy them

Where did you get the colour coat from, rattle cans ?

depends, some tyres are lh and rh side only. You posted while I was typing

Been using Halfords oil for must be 20 years in my wifes cars, while I put the expensive oils in mine, now use Halfords in my own after no issues with my wifes cars.

This must be one of the last third then.

I don't have a fixed regime, I just do what conditions dictate,

OAP,s used to fit these type of things to their Austin allegros, horrible things in my opinion.

Yeah useless annoying piece of crap design.

Surely they will just rub ,lots of neg camber will help.

phase 1 all the way

CAR phase 1 172 AGE not far from retirement Through the RAC Cost £170 comparison website.

I think standard if you want quiet, I have a btb system as I was lead to believe it was one of the quieter systems around, while its fine at sixty, seventy is obtrusive and eighty is a no no if daily commute although fine for a sunday morning blast.

Surely not a good idea on a road car, must make it more prone to stalling unless you rev it more when pulling away

Don't see how,

You have to change insurers every renewal time in my experience, my renewal quote £300, my new insurer quote £170, and similar experience last year.

Have to agree.

Went from Duxford to comfort café roundabout my self yesterday 4 ish I think.
