My 172 pulls and tramlines badly but as I was going to replace the shocks springs and top mounts I decided to sort it afterwards replacing it all. Today I've been to have 2 rainsport 3s put on the back and check the front tracking hoping it was going to be way out but it was dead straight. I...

I can't talk, I bought a scruffy low mileage Flamer for £1400 so they are probably hoping for an idiot like me to come along

I think I paid about £600 to get my 182 done last year

What sort of silly top speed?

Hmm, I'm not sure it'll be worth the stress and sourcing the renault timing tools as much as I'd like to

Id like to think i am, assuming its timed correctly now is it really just a case of using the renault tools to lock off the cams etc. If it happened not to be timed correctly currently does that make it a harder job?

I do most things on my cars and bike, my 172 is due its belts and pulleys change which I've never attempted before on ant car to be honest, would I be stupid to even entertain the idea?

Was there possibly someone parked behind them when they parked there? I wouldn't say that's classic drunk parking, looks more like they are one of my fellow Herefordians. They left just enough room to get out although it would pi$$ me off too.

New cup shocks, Grams springs and Febi top mounts to replace what must have been the original shocks on my 02 Flamer

It's this way isn't it?

Tried a search but couldn't find an answer, I'm assembling my cup shocks and don't trust the way round the bearing is inserted into the rubber mount. Can someone confirm it's orientation?

Well I've had both and as of 21 May this year I think I class as old

Oh that Flamer!!! I did love my iceberg ph1 but the dash was...well gash.

I thought it was only W and a few X reg, my Y was steel

Alloy bonnet was only on the very early Ph1's, most are run of the mill steel

The cable throttle you mean? I agree it is a bit more connected, other than that though they are the same car and feel identical to me

This sounds very much like my symptoms which this weekend I discovered was a poor connection on the precat lambda plug

Thanks Steve that confirms my thoughts. Any real need for anything other than the bearing though?

I'm going to order new cup shocks and Grams springs for my 172 but have a question I want clarifying. I will be replacing the top mounts and have been well and truly confused by all the reading I've done, would I be right in saying either just order Febi mounts or just the bearing and reuse all...

Such a good feeling to finally resolve it
