The belt kit is £125 and its 2 hours labour, its nothing worth selling the car over. Its not part of the cambelt so theres no timing/tensioning procedure.

0.9mm

Very nice, how did you get it up on the kerb??

1.2 8V OR 16V? If youve bought the correct plugs the gaps are pre-set.

Spotted a silver 172 at Morrisons car park yesterday, the owner looked like a young blonde lady, anyone on here?? Think the reg plate had BNZ on it.

^And blow up the water pump?

Spotted a blue 172 in dawlish warren, devon yesterday. It had a cs sticker in the back. Anyones??

Id wouldnt jetwash any engine, especially a Renault engine.

Did you manage the change the tensioner without jacking the engine??

Mine wouldnt come off, Ive read and saw the pic in the haynes manual about how you squeeze the tabs and pull off. In the end I had to butcher mine. The whole part needs removing from the pipes to fit samcos.

As above, also available on ebay.

Down the drivers side you've got the belts, accessories and the charcoal canister. It could be any of these from a faulty water pump to a worn tensioner. Try and narrow down more where its coming from, e.g. from the belts area, or from the canister just behind the fog light.

Thats correct, you need to salvage the metal part of your old mount.

You need something on the bolt underneath it, iirc you can get to it behind the wheel arch.

Which engine is it, manual or auto, the part no for the normal one is 77 00 430 825. Id go down the 2nd hand/breakers route though and just pop a new mount in it.

The abs fault could be a faulty sensor, however id check all round the front and rear rings aswel. The ones youve took a pic of could do with a clean with a wire brush or a old toothbrush. As for the anti roll bar links, this is a common problem, your pic is correct, the new kits are not...

Which part of it is cracked??

Its not too bad, people still under-estimate them. Youll always get some t**t in a ctr though that will try and ram you off the road.

Ive got the k-tec one, it was actually made by Janspeed. Its on the standard exhaust, i havnt noticed any power or sound changes. I bought it because the standard one got damaged and Renault wanted of £400.

You can prize them off the old discs and put them on the new ones if your careful.

As fred said they have a tendency to get stuck, even with the best quality torx screw it will either round off the head or snap the bolt.

Yes, its held on with some m6 20mm bolts.

Which Clio is it?

You just flush the old fluid through until the new fluid comes through. The reservoir must be kept above the min line throughout the whole process.

This is a confusing topic, confused by the fact that Renault dont know themselves. The original service booklet for the 172mk1 says 36k or 2 years.....

77 00 424 339

It routes in behind the wheel arch just under the master cylinder. I beleive the weights are to reduce the vibration felt throught the pedal when changing gear at high revs.

I can remember when the 182 came out and every mocked the wheels and exhaust, but later on they all soon changed in their 172s for one!!

They wont unfortunatly, they are too big. Youd also need a custom exhaust to match to it.
