You say that now lol. Looks much better after just a clean.

PM me about this, or talk to me at the weekend about this, I fit parking sensors daily

Too soon! I'll definitely be there. I bloody hope there's nothing else I need.

Re: DCI 65 pov spec commuter OEM+ I like how Graham's thread has just turned into mount and exhaust discussion lol. My two 65's both have the figure of 8 flange as you describe it, ala... I have a decatted cat from a single small hole Clio, but no idea what engine it fits? Graham, yours...

Diesels only get Smoke tested, no emmissions test, there is a new bit which IIRC says to do a Visual check for the cat, but it you're gutting it, obviously not an issue. Mine passed its MOT in Jan with no cat (or backbox!) with zero problems. Its a non-issue on a Diesel. Bond the cat back...

Re: DCI 65 pov spec commuter OEM+ Ghetto cat is fine, Mine is deffo a lot faster (and clearly makes more power/torque confirmed by two RR days) with it. Yeah, I'd get the bracket soon, as it really does make a huge differance, dogbones should last longer. I've only recently put mine back on...

The metal elbow out of the rocker cover? Its for the oil breather, not a huge issue, but it shouldn't have come out of the rocker, or had the pipe come off the elbow?

Lots of non cup 172's have speedo drives in the gearbox, shouldn't be that hard to find.

Re: DCI 65 pov spec commuter OEM+ They are there, two on the front, two on the end of the box next to the black cover. I had to tap mine out

Re: DCI 65 pov spec commuter OEM+ Mine are both legal (since they keep changing the fecking laws anyway) :D, I like the way mine sounds. I'd like to change the exhaust etc, but I don't think its really worth it.

Re: DCI 65 pov spec commuter OEM+ Coming on well buddy. I sprayed my subframe etc, much easier than painting it like that. Cup wishbones too? It'll be nearly as good as mine :P I decatted the black one today, I can do it super quick now.

Minor thread bump. My inferno, Hopefully not mine for too much longer. Needs a good clean mind.

Cheers buddy. Theres a bit more in the new thread (clicky under avatar), not much more though! Ebay IIRC.

Can certainly have a look. I doubt its a cracked Mani, that sort of ticking is common with cats getting warm/hot, obviously not your issue. As its not always been like that its obviously something that has devloped, Unsure tbh buddy.

For those of you (not many I know!) that have converted the rear beam from drums to discs, have you encountered any ABS issues? I know Tom (?) who used to be at Wests didn't have a problem bar changing to 1.6/DCi 100 rear sensors (due to the plug), but even with the correct sensors, Mines still...

I don't need instructions, the sticker is useful though. I think I did two.

I'd try and feel for blows with it running, just dont touch the exhaust, as it'll be hot. Checked for cracks on the decat?

Will be awesome to see you both there! Graham had better have his wide track fitted by then!

Pretty sure that's not the proper factory item. Ph1 & ph2 are the same, but have a different plug (ph1 vs 182 anyway), but this can be changed on the window motor.

Painting them normally ends up chipping. Phase1sr has the right idea with plating, but stainless is a good idea too.

I'll try and remember tomorrow. Otherwise remind me Sunday :)

Assuming you mean the engine mount to body, M10 by I'd say 40mm. They are longer than required.

I wonder who makes the genuine pumps. TBH, with it leaking now, and renault not knowing when they are going to have them in, I'd fit a good quality pattern part. Is it a cup? The problem with it is theres a severe lack of space, aux belt isnt that bad to take off/put back on.

Don't forget cam seals if you haven't got them included in the cambelt kit.

I do remember thinking they look backwards all the time. Firstline ones say left & right on them. I wonder what the reasoning behind it is.

Re: dmallett's indecisive clio thread! Monaco ph2 pg1+, Titanium ph1 pg31+, PB ph1 pg Pics just get funnier the more I look at them. John the headlight's are broken I think Dan said.

Amazing progress as I've said before.

On sports I normally go for genuine due to price (and the fact everybody loves genuine!!), but on this DCi, the genuine kit was a lot more than I could get a Gates kit for, Plus it includes a water pump (good quality too!). I still got lots of other bits from Adam at Wolvo though. Gates make...

I'm a fan of neither lol While I couldn't drive my car I did a few jobs that I'd been meaning to do. Refitted front gearbox mount, refitted undertray and a couple of other small bits, including changing the piss poorly painted fog light surrounds for un-painted items. My car is now all back...

Bingo, power it up the other way around.
