Cheers again Fred

Is the Aux Belt the one directly under the oil filler cap, been looking on the site, and it seems there are 2 visible belts, 1 the timing and 2 the aux, or are they both the same thing? Think its time for a haynes manual. Cheers.

Cheers for that Fred, guess I'm gonna have to check in the morning.

Hi again, cheers lads, why would the power steering suddenly stop working if the car was moving though? I'm not very mechanically minded, but what has the aux belt got to do with that? thought the aux belt was for charging the alternator, lol, I'm probably wrong, but could you explain? And is it...

Hiya guys and gurls, was pulling into a side street tonight, luckily i was going slow. The steering started turning to the left, then it just stopped, my steering wheel didnt want to turn any more, noticed the STOP light came on with another, looked like the battery light but cannot remember...

Hiya peeps, just an update. Took the car to renault newcastle. The mechanic was adamant that it was not the temp sensor, after checking with the computer, his reply was the 2 oxygen sensors, were disconnected to the exhaust. Basically putting more fuel through, i.e the excess smoking and...

Hiya guys, i posted this the other day, my tail pipe is very sooty too. I didnt notice the temperature sensor being on zero though, but very erractic revs and lots of smoke the next morning. So what is the worst that can happen if I dont get it fixed? Was the 1st time and not happened since...

Thanks for your replys, never had time to take her to garage today, but taking her tomorrow. How long was your exhaust smoking for Lee? Mine seemed to be smoking for over 10 minutes, i eventually got in the car and it was still smoking!

Thanks for your replys lads, ive heard of the faulty temperature sensor going on them before, but would that also make it smoke loads from the exhaust, any other ideas would be much appreciated. Will take her in to the garage so they can have a look, thanks.

Hi there, wondering if you could help me please! Friday night, warms car up, didnt start 1st time, drove it a couple of miles, stoped the car for 5 mins then(shopping, lol) then started her up, again she didnt start 1st time. Tried to pull away from garage, i didnt put any petrol in, it was low...

Hiya guys and girls, havent been around for ages, finally got my 172, and i been driving it with a smile on my face, lol. Anyway, my brake pedal seems to be letting an air noise out everytime i push it down, just wanted to know if this is normal as i havent noticed it before, thanks in advance.

Yeah, it is high milage, for just over a year old, and i know the import should sell cheaper, than a standard u.k. car. Anyone else want to add what they think, would be much appreciated! Cheers, chris.

Hi there, Ive noticed a lot of the cars are imports with u.k. spec. Is there any dis-advantage at all, with buying an import which is full u.k. spec? These are 172s im talking about, will i be able to get all the parts i need etc in this country and is it gonna cost me the same as a normal u.k...
