pic on left shows column into u/j, and a gap with play, pic on right shows it welded up to remove play.
is this column to u/j the same for the 172 (actual pic is a '96 clio)
thanks
listed in wrong section, but a potential bargain

first up was a D shackle from b&q for £3 or £4
then a powerflex universal mount from ebay for £6
then rammed together like so
a picture is worth a thousand gummy bears
i bought the rather large powerflex hanger as i wasn't sure where it would sit, but then...
every so often when i turn the key there is a split second pause before it fires into life. has probably done it five or six times in the past two months. early signs of starter motor faliure? or immobiliser related...
i have some play in my steering column or rack, if i wiggle the steering wheel from side to side you can feel a feint knock. you can REALLY feel it if you grab the tie rod, which to me says there is play in the rack.
i know it's not the tie rods or anything simple, as i've disconnected the...
what's with all the gubbins on the positive terminal, got some weird blocky plastic thing that bolts to something else on the terminal.
i've also lost the rubber boot, which means the positive terminal is fairly close to the ecu housing. should i be concerned by this?
i was thinking about this the other day.
we remove the cat because it's a restriction. is the centre silencer also restrictive? if so, why not remove this instead of the cat? would be less hassle at mot time.
genuine question, i'm sure the answer is out there...
and it's probably that the...
hi, what do i need to connect a decat to centre section, just paste?
i've seen the manifold to cat gasket from ebay/kam racing for £14 delivered, seems to be the best deal, just not sure about the other end.
:cool:
hopefully i haven't missed a thread on these, but just spotted them on primaracing/ebay

lots of talk on here about wanting uprated mounts, well here you are :cool:
personally i haven't had problems with the standard mounts and...
chances are it's the pulley on your power steering pump working itself lose. had this the other day, my fault for trying to do the three pulley bolts up with a tiny 10mm spanner instead of a socket wrench. could have been expensive. so if there's a woody sound from your engine, check these bolts...
thought i'd post this. i had a flat spot at 5.5-6k rpm. didn't really bother me as i have a habit of changing up before then. not anymore! turns out they had bosch's finest spark plugs in there, whipped them out for some proper ngk ones, flat spot gone. mpg up. hth.
hi, pics wanted. looking at different alloys for my car. 15 or 16s. looking to go anthracite or black. at the moment the best ones i've seen are turinis (R14CUP looks awesome with gunmetal turinis) or Oz F1's in a dark colour. but this is all i can find, no pics of clios with 7 spoke alloys for...
i fitted a new pas pump the other day and it whines like a supercharger, sound usually disappears once warmed up but you can still hear it sometimes. it's not loud like when you hold full lock.
edit: only whines when turning
i picked up a new tie rod yesterday and i found its fairly easy to move the ball joint around in my hand. past experience with tie rods tells me its nearly impossible to move a new ball joint by hand. nothing to worry about or looking at premature failure if i fit it?
er, really?
i bought a new genuine renault part off ebay a month ago, i've just been out to fit a reconditioned pump and noticed that there's a bit of fluid inside where the plug goes.
and the seller said:

ive got a non-supersport ktec recessed (not very old)
if i fit a decat will i get that dreaded drone at 55-70, or will i be ok as its got silenced centre section
ok, so the battery for our zafira needs replacing. its a 2002 base model 1.6 engine. a battery for this car cost around £60 (type 075, 55Ah, 550CCA)
as the zafira is based on an astra estate, i checked the battery for a 2002 astra with the same 1.6 engine as the zafira. the batteries for the...
