Is your engine out of the car and at a garage in Morpeth by any chance?

It's already had 2 rear wheel bearings and an OSF done. The only one not done was the NSF. I'v looked under the car and there's certainly no grease anywhere!

Thanks! Can anybody confirm this? Or is it pot-luck which one goes?

Hi, I've got a really nasty knocking/grinding whilst going rould left hand bends. Right hand bends are fine. It has recently got worse as there is now a whining sound when doing around 70mph on the motorway. Also, the ABS light comes on now and again - I'm assuming this is to do with the...

I've been quoted £150 labour to do the aux and timing belt kits - is this good or just average?

:D Ahh! Is it 5% discount at K-Tec?

Maybe a daft Q - Where is that? Do I have to pay anything to be a member?

Fantastic! Thanks Fred! Been 3000 miles since I bought the car and it's still knocking on idle! Sounds like a diesel! I'm sure it's the Dephaser but the sound is coming from the centre of the head, not the dephaser area! Mmmmmm!

As title really. Where is the cheapest place for a gates timing belt kit? Do gates make the aux kit as well? Thanks :D

Sell it and buy a faster/better looking car!

Ahhh! Newcastle-upon-Tyne Anybody tell me what price I can expect to pay at an indepedent garage? Cheers!

:S ???

Thanks Fred. I've got the smae engine noise as you had! I'm hoping it's a loose spark plug. Any idea what's a good price from an indy to fit all of those parts?

Price for indy anyone?

Doesn't the cup have a 1 piece shaft whereas the 'normal' 172s have a 2 piece shaft?

How did you get them so cheap? Thanks for the info guys! My 172 is sounding like a diesel at idle. OK after 1500rpm. Thinking that I should really change the dephaser pulley and all of the associated gubbins! Anybody know how much a good price would be for fitting at an indepedant garage?

Does anybody have an up-to-date price for the following? Dephaser pulley Cambelt kit Aux belt kit Many thanks! Nick.

I have one! Lovely colour it is too!

I sold my Honda S2000 and bought a Ph2 172. Just using it as a beater through the winter months. Going to go for a supercharged/turbo S2000 or an Evo 8 MR next I think. Your RN is looking good! Which bodyshop are you using?

Dean Johnston!!! Put the money towards a decent car! How's Glynn?

Thanks very much, that will come in handy! Does the steering wheel have to come off? I'd rather it didn't!

I've used the search but can't find anything! fubarnet is not working anymore. is there a guide? Thanks! nick.

Quality work mate! You managed to convert your GF from a reliable, good quality Mini to a unreliable pice of s**t of a Renault. Congratulations mate!

That's what I was hoping! If I park infront of a garage about 1 metre away. The passenger side beam is about 2-3 inches above the line of the drivers beam. It seems a little high to me! What do you think?

The fact it's slow and it gets no traction at all in the wet!

17 views? Could somebody please check their HIDs tonight to see if the passenger side HID is fully lit and the drivers side only the bottom is lit? Thanks!

Thanks! That's what I was after! I don't suppose you know whereabouts behind the dash it divides? Cheers! ;)

350Z has one.

Renault dampers are around £210 for all 4. I've just put some on my 172 and the handling is soooo much better!

I realise that. What I want to know is how they are wired. Is there a seperate feed from the HU to the tweeter, or is there 1 feed that goes to the tweeter and then onto the door speakers?
