During a period of high stress i decided to have a go at removing the aux belt from my phase 1 172. Got it off and back on again but find myself with a M8 x 85mm shoulder bolt left over and i cant remember for the life of me where it came from. Sounds ridiculous i know but have had to deal with...

Have a phase 1 172 on 120K. When using full lock there is an odd noise coming from the engine bay. I have had a closer look and at first thought it was the power steering pump. As the revs drop with the load on the pas pump it worsens. Sounds like it is coming from the top of the engine...

On way home tonight had the blower on full. Arrived home and the fan will not turn off. Even removing the key the fan still runs. Had to disconnect the battery to stop it. Will check in the morning. Any ideas ?

Have a Clio 1.2 which is fitted with an electric rack. When driving straight ahead it feels to have a 'high spot' ! The effect is that is seems to be very sensitive to road surface. Can only describe at a bit 'vague' .... The tracking has been checked and all is good. Tyres are good with no...
