Bit difficult to do a proper weld job while its in the car, personally I didn't find it that hard to take out and replace, would have taken an hour if I hadn't of kept forgettin to plug the speedo in before i assembled the dash!

How do these people get so much positive feedback?

Would you believe it they are now denying my claim because apparently it wasn't packaged properly... Despite the fact they shipped it with less packaging when it arrvied to me, and the fact that the packaging was strong enough to withstand being lifted by either end into the van!! Oh and in...

Mine makes kind of a tick/click noise when you turn the key the 3rd time! And it def the starter motor :(

If its a single click when you try and start it its your starter motor mate ;) either flick the key in the ignition or whack the starter motor! Hopefully its just a flat battery thou

Best bet is look out for 1.4s for breaking under the 'for sale' sections, you can pick one up quite cheap. If its the main hose renault will bend you over backwards for a new one. Or visit a scrappy and pick one up cheap.

Defo get to the doctors ASAP, the longer you leave it the less chance you would have of making any claim for compensation.

Yeah for £12+vat? You would get bearing+circlip+nut never heard of a bearing coming without them. God knows what they are trying to sell for £50 but if you need a new hub then it would be a good deal?

Lol used to work in tht pub, wat school did u go to?

Yeah dave I've seen a silver 172 round bradley stoke, sure I saw one filling up at tesco earlier, was tht u?

dave you live in bradley stoke mate?

£30 for a bearing pressed in is far too steep! Ring around some places will do it for a fiver, id say £10 tops!

Is it actually .23?

Couldn't get it in from the side there was a bar in the way absolutely no way to get the fat ass of the fan past it I tried everything! In the end had to take the rad out again and put it in that way!

Haha didn't see that :o been working since 9 im knackered!

Have you had a look at the fluid level for the power steering? When this gets low makes the power steering REALLY loud! If its topped up though and its still very stiff could be the PAS pump on the way out? Not sure on the squeeking though? First thing would be to check fluid level though if you...

3.4L you need to put in if its totally empty! If you don't thrash the car too much, just pop into halfords and pickup some castrol gearbox oil that should be fine, they have the list there so you know which one to pick! Otherwise there are other gearbox oils out there which are dearer but...

Only problem I've found with spinning the wheel is that if its (the bearing), only just starting to go chances are you won't be able to hear it just by spinning it by hand!

If you do it yourself, new bearing is about £20 depending where you go and pressing £5/10.

Wheel bearing would make a humming noise if it was broken? If its a wheel bearing the noise will stop when you go round a corner either left or right. If it stops when you're going round a right bend it means its the LEFT wheel bearing thats going as when you round the bend to the right all...

Bugger I was afraid someone would say that :( Just got the bottom hose on took ages! Just didn't really wanna take it off again oh well :(

Yeah except that involved a lot of pulling and nearly broke it all so just wondering what the recommended way of it doing it is?

So took the fan + radiator out the valver yesterday... got the radiator back in but now I can't get the bloody fan back in!! Good old Haynes says "Simply pull the fan out and to refit push it back in and do up the screws" problem being there is hardly any room because of the inlet manifold :(...

Was In ChrisEs 172cup a few times and its done this as well.

There you go mate all the info there: http://www.williamsclio.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6746

Gearbox drain plug is near the radiator half way up the gearbox so don't worry about that! Sump plug is facing the rear of the car on the back of the sump on the bottom of the engine obviously, need a square bit to remove it watch out though the oil will piss out so undo it very slowly so...
