Can these be had cheaper anywhere else? I'm aware the water pump is on back order at some places £300 all in for the dephaser, timing and auxiliary belts along with a water pump and everything else needed...

@Craigarch1994 this one mate.

Is it the metal pipe touching the bracket area? Stick in a piece of sponge or similar to stop the metal on metal

Then: (arty farty pic) Now: I think I've went wrong somewhere..can't quite put my finger on it

You sure it's oil and not petrol?

I'd get a petrol/diesel courtesy car and pile on the miles onto it!

Anyone got a trailer and could help me out moving my 172 from Glasgow to Stirling ish. Obviously I would pay for the help!

Lol. A 5 series should look great from every angle. E12, E28, E34, E39 all perfect in my eyes to look at. It goes down hill at the e60 then starts to get better with the F10. I've never got on with the e60. Not saying it's a crap car just think it looks wrong, especially from behind unless it's...

Wrong wrong wrong! The e60 is definitely the runt of the litter when it comes to 5 series. It's still a decent car but no way the best shape 5 series and they have lots of issues

I'll maybe pop up for a look:) if anyone wants to take me out id be more than happy!

That seems reasonable to me. Bet they surprise pretty much most things out there too

Man I really want a go in a 172/182 turbo. Reckon it would be hilarious. What sort of price we talking for a basic turbo build and are they reliable?

Man that looks so good. Love me some rectangular headlights!

I love both the gold and red!! Silver on black looks good yes but everyone does it. Including me. Keep them red, really different and works.

Yeah what Danny said. Quite common really. Not a massive issue and dead easy to replace yourself

How many hours labour is that?

Matte purple looks awful. Please don't do it. There's a guy round my way with a matte purple Astra and it is honestly awful looking. Alien green ftw

Maybe to warn you that you have left the key in there without starting?

As above!

Cheers lads. So you'd recommend changing the clutch at the same time? I honestly don't know how old it is

how much we talking to change over an engine ie 172 engine to 172 engine. Obviously it's a fairly straight forward swap but how much should I expect to pay or how many hours labour is reasonable?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who is spending money on an old Clio!

Excellent! Mines also in the post:) Looking forward to fitting mine

Fatty induction kit? Nice and cheap, looks nice in the engine bay and apparently makes a nice sound too

As above I want to paint it and I've removed it. It's been painted previously very poorly. Where should I start removing the paint? Just paint stripper? Also fancy doing the head(underneath the inlet) however I wouldn't be removing this. May just leave it as it is. Cheers!

Not yet mate. Planning on doing it tomorrow to compare. I can't see them being that much less to be honest. Also further for myself to travel

Awesome mate:) let me know! Even a small discount would make a difference to me.

Yeah I've seen that mate. It is probably about right just loathe spending £600 on some belts!! It's crazy money but as you say it'll be a good job.

I can get ye parts for about £350. Are they likely to be less than £250 for labour? I could have someone do it for me and it would be £450 all in but then you don't have a receipt from a garage and some sort of backup should something go wrong
