Technically they are all optional extras which are supposed to be declared. However I think that's a very strict thing for them to enforce. Especially when the cars not new, how is anyone supposed to know exactly what options a 15yr old car had from the factory

It passed the 2 meter test, those wheels were rubbed down and Halfords rattled canned 😂

£400 iirc paid £700 odd for a 172 cup too Agreed to buy this for £1000, drive 5 miles home to get someone to come with me and collect it and the guy phoned me back saying he needed more money for it, What you looking for i asked.... £1050 haha

Just as well it's not a 197 you have, imagine the extra weight of driving about with 2 front hubs, a gearbox, exhaust manifold and Mick from diamond motors in the boot....

perfectly normal

As above no alarm.

Thats a 172? were talking about a 1.6 16v

Yeah, no idea on the standard spec there, but the Australian cars had 15" as standard

Will be if its an AUS car, they had 15s

seen this in Easterhoose unless there is 2 nonces

they absolutely do bolt straight on, just require some longer bolts and a couple of washers so it centres the caliper onto the disc

Totally normal on that engine its just condensation in the plastic rocker cover. Looks like that radiator has been leaking for a while and its been getting topped up with water, id want to change the radiator, waterpump, flush the system and fresh coolant (may as well stick a coolant bottle on...

As above I can't get mine to start most of the time with the key never mind without

Agreed, to the trained eye the Widetrack in the giveaway on my Van

Pictures like this make me really really excited. Love fitting loads of parts to my worthless car then updating my spreadsheet!!! Love that DCI's just go forever, my Mrs has a 2021 DCI just as they discontinued them in the UK, I don't know what I could ever replace it with :ROFLMAO:

Clio 197 buying advice... DONT Martin, 35, bitten by 2x Clio 197 and 1x Clio 200

yeah the crank pulley (as well as the cam pulleys) are not keyed so if the bolt is removed the timing can slip, if that's the case its not slipped enough to cause damage just requires locking and reset (assuming that is the case obviously)

First you would need to find out if the car is pre wired for cruise control, id take a guess at no due to cost saving since no model that late had cruise control, in the 2001-2005 cars you could option cruise control so it made sense to just have one wiring loom that could accommodate both. If...

did they remove the crank pulley to get the belt on as they didn't have a tool for the auto tensioner? I've seen a r****d attempt that before.

This, Rather not listen to music at all than listen to some amazon all in one

Was the crank pulley replaced?

Owned a 133 Never driven the other pair but i was running out of options since most have been picked!

crank sensor connected? faulty?

Incorrect, its 4 bolts on a RB, LY, PB - The others only have 1 bolt.

The donor car that I used to build my 182 van had a limp mode issue, the previous owner had thrown the parts cannon at it via a garage who were guessing. It had a new accelerator pedal and a new throttle body, I unplugged the white connector under the fuse box, cleaned up the connections and...

Yeah but if he's unplugged or damaged the connector to the solenoid while removing the inlet it won't be working. Check the vvt solenoid connector is ok. Make sure the map sensor on the inlet is ok. Does it idle ok? Not higher than normal? No miss fire?

I am SOOO angry at myself that I've never thought about that! I was wrestling with one on my 1.2 16v a couple of weeks ago

I've never changed the seals but the rocker cover is a piece of piss to get off even if you need to remove it.

if its wandering about and just feeling "loose" then its most likely the rear dampers are shot or the track rods/rod ends but id start with dampers!
