Can a mod please move this thread to a more suitable area, as its more a tech problem now ;) Possibly mate, used them before with no problems mind, on different cars.... It definately sounds more top end to me now, its more of a loud "clatter" than a thumpy kind of knock that a big end would...

Yeah thats more what I meant mate, its great for just ar$eing about on! GTA is the better game of the 2, by far. Jamie, a stab in the dark @ Metro 2033??

This games crazy, easily on par with GTA :) Just doing stupid things like grappling to mopeds together and watching them both fall off lol Is the Lost island the 1 at the top left?

Thanks WILLIE, i filled it in for a quote anyway ;) Cheers Gregg, sounds like a plan, but it does sound pretty terminal tbh, although it was still running suprisingly :O

Its not got full renault SH but receipts for cam belt kit etc around 68k, its now on 76k. Not sure if you saw my other thread about a tapping noise (assumed it was a stuck lifter) so flushed it with some flushing oil and replaced with some 5W 40 and filter the other day. It seemed alot quieter...

Well it would seem my slightly tappy engine, suddenly turned into a huge knock this evening and so mr RAC had to come and get me :mad::dapprove: Sounds as if its bottom end but its hard to tell. It had been running ok too since changing the oil a couple of days ago :(

It was outside Halfords in Norwich, but i cant remember 100% if it was the yellow or flame one which was there lol, but I do remember the yellow one being very low so may well have been you!

Ohhhh rightttt :D Woolies worked ;)

Strange, I just tried Very, & Additions and the ZZ code didnt work....well it said it can only be used on the first order! This IS my first order :(

Well today I took the plenum off and went round all the bolts, spark plugs etc and nothing was loose. Ive also changed the oil from whatever was in there, also using some engine flush (I know not everyone agree's but its never done me harm before), and filled her it back up with some 5w 40...

Came accross 2 blue 172's, a liquid yellow 182 and a flame 182, all within about 10mins of each other in Norwich area ;)

I know exactly where you mean, and its always in the same position lol!

Im fairly "engine minded" so a garage would be last resort! It seems the tapping is getting a bit louder, unless its my imagination, and is very noticable when decelerating, and in between gear chagnes! definately sounds like its coming from the head if putting my ear in the area, around...

Been investigating some more today, tried unplugging the canister as been suggested in other threads....same! Removed engine cover....same! Seems noisier tonight, I think,it may be something to do with canister bracket but it sounds more like its coming from the top of the engine area, kind of...

Not checked the canister yet but from reading other posts the "ticking" noise that comes on after about 20secs is that, so thats solved that one. This other rattle I think is something else though. After some investigating, when accelerating in, say, 2nd gear to about 3k rpm, then lifting off...

Thanks for the welcome guys ;) Here's a few pics, 3 of which are when it was all clean and shiney :) And these 2 were after about 50miles of coastal B-road bashing, hence the dirt lol

Near the train station/price of wales road in Norwich. It was dark but pretty sure it was a Monaco. That and the inferno were together ;)

Spotted another Monaco 172 and a Inferno 182 with reg F4/F7 XXX (i think) around Riverside area about 11ish last night, must be someone from here? ;)

I've just bought myself a Ph2 172 in Monaco Blue :cool: So thought I'd better say ello!! ;)

I'm a bit of a newb to these cars, but not cars in general but in simple terms I've got a Ph2 172 now, and I've noticed theres a faint tapping noise on idle which may just be normal? When driving, if @ around 2500rpm, I lift off completely, theres no noise, but If I apply a slight bit of...
