your welcome dweezle . Glad it's helped . As a little trick - once it's de-greased and dry , puff a load of talcum powder over the affected area , it will help you locate the source of the oil loss.

Poss air leak at the inlet manifold . I'd rule that out first .

No leak poss from the circlip part - that's just a ball socket - it looks a bit worn. The oil leak will most deff be the selector shaft oil seal , common issue with Renaults. Also check the left front driveshaft where it meets the gearbox casing , seen a few leaking from around there also.

No they don't come with track rod ends , I think a couple of types there also .

I know it's no conciliation - but when I ordered my inner track arms from Renault it 3 attempts to get the right parts and that was quoting rack type off the sticker. Mine was off road at the time so no worry - but it still must be frustrating for you as you need your motor back on the road...

^---- lol

@Dr Jekyll. I can't have any face lift bits on mine . I've always liked colour coding bits.

The Weekend fun times

We all know you Pedro19

Ryanph1rs How have you secured the ducts to the fog housing ? Pics say a thousand words - it looks neat enough to me

Hi J - yes m8 lol at it being a sport - yes I'm in my Merc , and that on the dash is a paper machè of me my daughter made when she was 6 , 8 years on various dash's it's still there

This looks like a Black 172 from a distance lol Location : Watford tesco's roundabout , guess it just happened , Ball joint fell out by the looks of things

For Reference

Ph1 172 Best - Ex noise , handling , fun factor = Smiles Worst - noisy + wipers nearly fell off at 140mph lol

Don't forget me Lol Mine - Silver 172 cup - EA53 Stunty - Silver 182 - OE04 Barnesautos - Silver J20 Black 172 with a Poppy sticker on the back Few others I don't recall.

Keeps cutting out since Cams fitted - needs a Map like "Now"

You need to get the Renault Diagnostic tool on it and read off the fuel pressure, I'd still suspect the injectors as a high probability

There is a little kit that you can plug in to each injector and measure the amount of fuel being returned . If its excessive , that injector is knackered. And it only takes one to cause the issue you have.

Sounds to me you have weak fuel pressure (hot) 2 hrs cool down. Cold it will be fine starting right ? Diesel injectors fail causing inadequate tolerances for precision pressure. When the injectors internally leak off high amounts of Derv in the return lines back to the tank - the fuel pressure...

Same with my old Dci 80 - 550 out of a tank , I recon it would have done more if I did more motorway . But hey I wasn't complaining

Sounds like a poss starter motor issue - but first check all earth cables

You nutter - she's probably at home knitting a battery warmer for the winter lol

That's why I did mine when I had engine out , I knew it would be a diff job later down the line. I hope you get the right parts first time , I fitted genuine Renault parts 3rd time lucky for me , got told I have Megane arms because of part number I ended up having . Any way good luck

I noticed this noise on my Hero 2 and what I did was cut a piece of cardboard and placed it in the sliding / squeezing Clip bit and it's wedged in now , but it's as quiet as a mouse - none of that clicking noise over the recording.

Done nothing to it since fitting Cams. Need ARP bolts and a Map then I'll be happier.

Ok I'll look for it cheers fella

May I ask what compression tool you are using ? I recently did a karting session and the files are way to large to YT.

Fitted my long awaited 428s in today, got the cover on and torqued down , timing tomorrow with all new de-phaser and aux tensioner and timing belt kit.

Both are in the car now

^^^^^^^ Thanks , I'll take a look
