I'm interested in a set my sell do they really make that big a difference on a stock 172 save an ITG replacement filter?

I Haven't got them on my 172 but I did have a set of AVO coil overs on my T5R. And a lot of the ride quality comes down to your spring rates and whether your springs are pre loaded or not. It took me about two or three goes with different springs till I was happy luckily AVO were brilliant...

Anyone got a number for Kam Racing they don't list one on there site?:S

Thanks for the input where do you get hold of or rather who sells the RC5 pads as K-tec list Lorraines but not that specific number? Or am I being dim.

Thanks for the advice all, Just one thing are the DS2500 a bit harsh for town driving? or should I look at another pad type and with the discs should they be brembo max or the max hc.

Me again I'm after some help on choosing new discs and pads for my 172 I'm thinking of DS2500 pads and brembo discs. I've got a standard 172 and am just after something with a bit more bite any help or advice please on my options cheers.. P.S. road use no track days now I'm a house husband!!

Done it I didn't find it to bad as long as you lift the engine high enough on the O/S. I found it easier to remove the slam panel to allow the engine to be lifted high enough then the sump pan just dropped out no messing around with wiggling hear or there. Just my two pence if it helps????

I've just done one in the past few weeks. I'm away from home till Tuesday PM me if ya need any help or advice!!

The weepings not to bad it just makes the underside look a bit rough wet oil hear there and everywere. But it's oil change time and I've put it off for long enough O and my wife say's I'm a bit OCD don't no what she means though????? :D

Hi all I'm going to change my sump gasket on my 172 I've just picked it up and noticed it's a rubber one would you dry fit or use some kind of sealent as well? The reason I'm changing it is that it's been weeping for a while and I'm due an oil change lets see if Silko is any better than Mobil 1..

Thanks for the reply's so far. I must admit I do like turinis but I'm not sure after some of your comments?:S

Had the same problem except mine was an ff and got sent a cup alternator the electrical connections are completely different.

Not sure whether to stick with what I've got 15" OZ's in very good nick or move up to 16" not sure which type maybe cups or some speedline safaris or similar. Any views good bad or in between please as a side note what do ya think my 15" are worth very good nick with exaltos good tread?? :S...

Well I had a right touch today my local GSF had a pair of genuine Renault disc's in stock including the vat with my cliosport discount £152.75. The stealers wanted £199.97 including the vat for the same disc's I thought Dick Turpin died a long time ago it seems not though!!!!!!!:D

Love the idea of disc's at £50 but the time ya buy the bearings get them pressed in and remove the old or fit new ABS rings is it worth the agg? I'll try GSF the only trouble is the stealers seem to have them in stock and I've got a 700 mile round trip on Saturday!! caught between a stealer...

Hi all, Anyone know where I can get a pair of rear disc's without getting my pants pulled down at the stealers? I've checked K Tec ect not a big difference price wise I'm in the N/E O forgot to say it's a 172 with ABS. Cheers Colin..

Renault type D is a pre mixed coolant/antifreeze so why you'd need anti as well I've no idea?

I'm to the left personally, But it takes all sorts LOL.

I'll have a look cheers. Although the way my luck is it couldn't be that easy???

Any other idea's anyone??

I just had a similar problem with mine if you want to remove the alternator from the list. Start the car let it warm up wait for the noise to start get an 8 to 10" screwdriver place the tip on your alt and place the top of the handle against your ear. You will then be able to tell if your...

Noticed today although it was there before I think my front end seems to creak more so the N/S but I think both side's. Just looking for some clue's or pointers. My first thought was wishbone rubbers? Colin...

Luckily it wasn't the water pump as mine had been changed about 8 months before I bought the car. Although looking at it if it does go you may as well change the timing belt at the same time "painful" cost and time wise!!

Thinking about your reply why am I blaming reno I don't think I've made myself clear I went to my dealer ordered alternator for my car with A/C the dealer list's two type's with or with out A/C the reno parts computer allows him to order the right part. Reno receive order and send out...

I'm blaming reno because as I said in an earlier post. If you go in and order a re-con ex alternator from them they list two part numbers that's two!! But they only list one number on the exchange item now call me picky but who else should I be pi**ed off with?????????????

All done and I guess I'm happy that the alternator was the cause of the noise. Not so happy with Reno regarding there ex alternator issues but ya live and learn I believe is the saying!!! Anyway back to enjoying the car at last, One more thing thanks to everyone that gave advice as ever it...
