Not sure if I'm right here, but are you suggesting you're going to try and use the torque wrench to undo it? If so, then don't.

You'd be better off using another nut with them tightening against each other than using a nylon one where it's warm.

Hi all, Anyone know if a head from a K4J 712 will fit on the K4J 780? My girlfriend's Mk.3 water pump shat the bed the other day and caused the timing belt to snap. My Dad has offered the head off my Mum's old 2005 plate Mk.2 1.4 16v to get it going. Wondered if I could just swap the head over...

Mine are great.

Absolutely. I'd be very cautious about putting dodgy rubber on a car that steerable on the throttle.

If you stick the ignition on and then turn the lights on and off really quickly in succession does the car beep?

Even if you've opened it they'll have it back. I've taken loads of things back before.

Ouch! Sorry man, only picked that one as it was the cheapest listed. You got a local ECP branch? They're normally really good.

I found that only to be a very short term solution, they failed after a few months. In the long run I ended up buying new jets, they were actually very cheap.

I used to use a yellow Powerflex bush cut and zip tied into the rear mount but found that it was too hard and kept snapping the hangers off my exhaust - been through two back boxes in 2 years that way. In the end I bought a new OEM one for £7 off eBay, car is much quieter too.

Sounds like driveshaft to me.

Sounds like you need new seals for the sunroof, silicone won't really help you. Also, that was REALLY hard to read.

Get in touch with Renparts. http://renparts.co.uk They're brilliant and will probably post you one out really quick.

Done

Done.

Even better, use a 172 Cup and swap the 1.6 engine in. ;)

Mine will probably be for sale in the new year. Not 100% yet but it's in reasonable condition.

In the name of irony. In reality it looks crap and the cars aren't as well put together as they think.

Because it's the correct answer.

Mine was on well f**king tight. I tried three different styles of removal tools before saying "f**k it" and getting a big screwdriver out.

I nearly just gave up and torched my 172 last time I changed the oil filter.

If you can get the damn thing in, that is.

Awesome. That's £15 each. I accept PayPal.

Before you go down the route of ripping out your CD Player: 1) Turn it on 2) Hold the button down that looks like a musical note 3) Use the track forward button to see if you can see an option to turn AUX on If you can then that lead I posted should work.

Nope.

Bit of further research on the Merc A-Class lump. The model that uses the 1.5 dCi is this: http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/reviews/facts-and-figures/mercedes-benz/a-class/hatchback-2013/63173/ - now that's pretty crap since it's 1hp more than the most powerful Clio III one. Although it might have...

I put mine in 5th at 30mph all the time when I'm just cruising through a long 30 zone. Most of the time with the cruise control on too. Doesn't fuss at all if you give it some power.

Doesn't the new Merc A class use a slightly more powerful version of the Renault 1.5/1.6 diesel engine? Might be worth looking at what sort of pumps they use.

Depends I guess. My parents have a 2005 1.4 16v Expression (they've owned from new) kicking around (with 130,000 on the clocks) that gets used in Winter for popping out and about (both have big and very new German cars that are s**t in the snow - even with proper tyres). That thing has an Update...
