I'm sure the official gearbox oil change is 72k/5yrs?

Gearbox oil after box rebuild or yearly what ever comes first 😂😂😂

Especially with a 182 cup! Low miles but they were always the least desirable!

Jesus that pic is tragic!!

agreed, i had to do a shaft on my 22yr old 1.2 16v last weekend so i drained the box oil and replaced it (probably original) and it feels like its got a brand new gearbox!

as above plus brake fluid and box oil.

Other bolt back in to make sure it's sitting square, bar under the subframe and over the top of the arb to remove its tension from the lower arm, chap out stuck bolt!

I'd assume given the bottom pulley bolt it's thrown a belt lol engines are becoming hard to get!

Im sure they were only about £45 a few years back!

Of course you don't need to replace them as a pair, but you should 😂

Harvey price driving a Clio

I built a retro gaming machine for me and my daughter, we enjoy going up the town and buying games from CEX, loads of 90s and 2000s games for £1 on a half shelf at the back of the store!! loads of forgotten gems! EDIT: As per the RC Car thread, there is probably a lot more time and money...

my 197 has a noisy AC compressor and this is the first time I've experienced this (due to actually being able to hear it!) its a climate controlled car so when the AC is on, it displays AC on the screen, it seems to have a bug that when you press the demist button which puts fans to max and AC...

Agree with that, if you want a car to enjoy and not loose money on it's not a bad move, I wouldn't call it an investment though.

I had a really tidy/genuine one, although a bit higher miles and sold it about 6yrs ago, think I eventually got £1500 for it after a month or more of advertising

Definitely not his. He is 100% a silver Vauxhall Insignia kinda guy

Yeah they use shorter gas struts which were apparently a fortune but I'm sure people use a BMW 1 series strut which was cheap and fits, there will be a part no somewhere. Yeah connection is the same on all the spoilers for the brake lights

as above absolutely fine without them they just locate it. just make sure its sitting nice and square and all the shut lines are good before giving it a final torque (dont need to go tight with them, seen people crack them)

something in my head was telling me they were a different length but my mind is getting old and rusty now!!

Had a search but can't find anything, is there a known brand/part number for pattern part items? I remember the hassle I had years ago with mine when I needed one. Got a rear setup for my RSI to fit and need a pair of cables!

Oh dear! here's one for the cambelt thread lol

You know your getting old when your keeping on top of your AC system servicing, when years ago we were all throwing it in the bin!

As above nope, not unless it was clearly fecked as they are over £100

Crankshaft damper pulley? Had a very similar noise on my 197

@aldo_87 hopefully that's not the size list you used 😂😂

See my post above get back onto them!

I called up yesterday, hence my rant above 😂 was paying £36 a month for 250Mb after price increases etc. Seen the new customer deal of 250Mb for £17 pm. Went round the houses with them kicking off as the best solution they could offer me to my saying £36 is too expensive was a package with an...

I dont understand why they cant make a change for consumers like they did with car insurance where you cant offer cheaper deals to new customers than you can existing customers. Surely its better for the consumer as everyone gets a fair price Its better for the companies as they don't need all...

Just use the 172 mount with the powerflex bushes they are the same fitment. Later ones had them as standard

The powerflex bushes completely solve the issue with excess movement but add in all the vibration that the rubber is there to solve. Never tried the silicon method but it may be a good half way house. As above genuine replacement is a good solution but IMO it's worth doing at the same time as...
