The hub nuts will stay on OK if you torque them up correctly. No need for copper grease either. You have everything else covered.

Yer rear pads were stuck to the discs. The grinding noise is the pads rubbing off the rust from the discs. Drive it around a bit with lots of braking and it will be ok. It happens when the car is left outside for a while.

Motul is a favourite on here.

And an impact driver for the disc screws.

Paper clips rust away too quick.

Change the brake fluid, it should be done every 2 years.

The "bent paper clip "is the correct item to retain the slider. You might as well buy them from the main dealer, can't be much.

The filter is a gauze cover over the pick up hole where the petrol goes into the bottom off the pump. You can take the pump out easily from under the rear seat squab, it is held in by a large threaded plastic collar. The gauze filter can be removed and cleaned. The big problem is when...

You will get just a couple extra HP out of it but is it worth £250 or so. He's probably talking about value for money.

No engine cover fitted to 172 Cups or is he talking about the inlet manifold and whats an oil cover?

I agree, Bonnet Bras suck. Not very dignified for a car to wear a Bra.

Ha Ha indeed, Only for Turbo cars mate.

"Shat" Is that one of those new words Danny.

The tie rods at ECP may be the same as oe ones, depends on the manufacturer, ask the sales guy, he should know. Same goes for the other parts.

Went up last budget.

The Prolines will lower the car just a few mils. are much better over bumps, help body roll a little. You will also need a Rear ARB to control body roll further. You only need washers when changing to a certain set of new top mounts.

Tax is now £245 per year post 2001 models and £185 pre 2001. The other costs won't be much different to your previous cars.

^What he said

A couple of 172's had broken their pipes where they screw into the pump, during a track day at Bedford. Hope it is just a pipe mate.

"Badges, we don't need no stinking badges" It's all a bit too American to me, "Hi, I'm dick head, try me"

3 Blue Cups in Benfleet, not so rare then.

Seen another Blue Cup around Benfleet as well, fella wears glasses, or is that you?

I must have seen you about then, a couple of times at Total garage in the High rd.? If you need help changing yer hoses, might as well change the brake fluid as well, PM me.

Easy at the engine end but not very nice at the pedal end, I usually end up upside down, standing on my head, maybe easier to remove the drivers seat.

You dont need to undo the top mount unless you are fixing something else, if you do remove it support the engine with a trolley jack, it will only drop down about 4 inches until it rests on the subframe.

You need the 182 hoses. Have a look at Camskill prices as well, were cheaper when I bought them.

Adjuster? Where is that and what does it adjust?

£347 definitely worth 2 years extra warranty on a Renault, Gearbox?
