Have you seen the Peugeot 308's? They have them. I see atleast 1 a month that's fucked. Had one in last week on a 61plate. More than half a decade they have had wax thermostats. They work, they work well. Why change them?????

I had an engine delivered from a breakers last week with 80% leak down on the worst cylinder. All from the exhaust valves.

I'm ex-Carlton too ;) Non-AC, £335 is the basic pricing (timing belt kit, aux belt, cam seal kit+crank bolt) dephaser is an extra £175, but includes oil and filter change. That's supply and fit, using genuine parts.

The seal kit consists of more than just 2 seals.

Foot on the clutch, see if it's still locked.

Go to Renault Wolverhampton's trader forum and ask for a 172/182 camshaft oil seal KIT.

I bet you put the wrong oil seal on the dephaser side .

We should go along, let Vikki take it out and I take the supercharged one along and hide around the corner to follow them and overtake them lol.

Configuring a UCH isn't as easy as punching in a few numbers. You do have potential of bricking it and then trying to explain to Renault why you want another... It's also very difficult to get the immobiliser code if your not a registered garage...

I can do it if required. Would be Tuesday next week at the earliest however.

Ah b****cks. For some reason I had it in my head that it was Munson.

Can be a trick of covering up a car that's over heating a lot.

To quote ///Munson from a few years back "nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, VTEC, Hedge."

It's sad, the amount of simple jobs that I've seen ballsed up by local garages. Mick had a cracker a few months back, bodged on a cup alternator on to a non cup. It was literally millimeters away from shorting the main feed on the air con pipe work.

I'm going to have to slap you so hard when I next see you.

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' Sorry! Didn't mean to pick faults! Just didn't want any damage to come of it.

It may well be fine for local garages, but it's closer 10 hours book iirc and your average garage will charge that, and probably break things (going by what I've seen come through my workshop door )

I'm running a standard clutch, but it's proper on its limit (even breath on the pedal and it slips) next time the box has to come out I'll be fitting a 4 paddle friction plate and keep the OEM cover. For the sake of £100 extra I'd sooner run an uprated item as it gives scope for further power...

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' Nah the pump still spins the right way (anything on the outside of the belt will still turn the same way) it's not uncommon for it to be routed like that, but as said it cuts into the lower belt cover, frays, into cambelt and boom!

Tbh I'd be opting to run an uprated clutch.

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' The aux belt is routed wrong. It needs to go from the top of the crank to the underneath of the water pump. Routed that way it'll cut into the cambelt cover. Good progress though :)

I was just reading that. Yeh I've seen a few like this, I had a corsa in once that I had to poke through the sludge to get the oil to drain. Also had a navara in that, it's oil had the consistency of cv grease.

IME 172 cups tend to always pull more than book. Mick at diamond motors in Nottingham, mike Woodford in Staines, or if you fancy a shopping trip to Clark's village, myself. (I charge £350 to supply and fit a clutch)

Light flashing fast is usually a key fault.

Just be aware, it'll pop again and keep popping until you secure it some other way,or change the box

Yeh.

Just to put it out there. It's £610 from myself with a warranty.

Yeh.

BA16 9SG, price is £610 inc oil and filter, is my price. Mikes details are: 07985 266042

Use a spanner/ratchet/rattle gun to turn the bolt and free it off.
