ROFL! Squat'n'go !!!

Oh not the end of the world then. Thought it was loads more for some reason, might of been thinking cambelts aswell tho.

How much is just an Aux belt kit and fitting Fred out of interest ?

Me too if it turns out I need a aux belt fitted.. again :(

Yes there were some late '04 172's.

Cheers bud, I'll see what Fred says when he has a look :)

Sounds about right yeh, was it an easy fix ?

Fred, I'll bring the car over for you to take a look if that's ok, sometime after your holiday mate. Have a good 'un. Si

I thought Aux belt was every 36k or 5 years whichever the sooner.

Well I've had a listen and there is a slight and I mean slight whine from under then bonnet, it could be anything and nothing really tho. Can I check my pullies tensioners in anyway ?

Try Renault maybe ?

Went for some Miller's XFS 5w40 in the end. As I found it at the same supplier, hopefully better stuff.

Ok just phoned the guys @ Renault Autocare up and they say it wont have had the kit fitted if its not stated. So it looks like I'm still on the original Aux Pullies etc. What's the best course of action from here ? There is nothing that I can tell to indicate they are shagged, but I'm no...

Good plan will give them a bell tomorrow, my guess is they wont remember tho. Will exhaust that option first tho, Cheers :)

Yep, Renault Autocare, Truro, Devon.

Ok bought my 172 a few weeks back now and was satisfied when I bought it that the Cambelt/Aux belt and all associated parts had been changed, with reciepts to prove back in January '09. Fine I thought wont need doing for a good while yet. However looking through the receipts in my folder of...

Cheers Fred, not heard of it before, seems ok then.

Apologies I meant Morris NOT Miller's Is this engine oil actually any good, or cheap rubbish ? I can get some pretty cheaply from my local factor. http://www.morrislubricants.co.uk/scripts/prodview.asp?idcat=36&idProduct=44 Ta

Re: Jay Leno + Mclaren SLS + epic roads. Epic !

Most Tyre places can stretch a narrower tyre onto a wider rim within reason ofcourse. After a certain level a bead blaster might be needed however.

In all honesty mate, and in the Nicest possible way, it's not really worth putting performance exhaust on a 1.2i, you just wont gain anything meaningful except a load more noise. Save yourself some pennies and just get a nice new standard exhaust put back on.

What car is it ? Your best just to pop to your local Exhaust/Tyre centre and get them to take a look for you first.

Highly unlikely a Universal Backbox will fit well or even atall. Load of crap in my eyes but its your money.

Re: R26R vs FCS (vid) WTH is that noise, I assume its the Blower but it doesnt sound particularly healthy lol.. Good vid.

Tesco 99RON. Works.

Can't see the video here sorry.

ROFL, definately must be George's car !!!

ROFL, theres your answer then. Rule of thumb: If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.

Bah, I assumed that was dirt, there's my answer then. Thanks Fred :)
