i did it last year with 3 friends altho we used a 98 mercedes 230 2.5 diesel. it was the best laugh ever. we were suppose to share the driving but i only managed to do 50 then got bored of the auto box so it was bottles of beer for the next 6 days

weight saving is all im aiming for. that £100 could be better spent

ill be doing it next week when my gearbox arrives. there is no reason why it wont work

ye thats the thread. as far as i see it bolts in place of the original, even if the new pully was bigger or smaller you can easily get a belt to suit

it is genius and would cost under £10 if you source the rite pully

he used the original tensioner and a bigger bottom pully. i think its of a toyota avensis, ill double check

The guy I saw doing it changed the bottom pulley to a slightly larger 1. Routed the belt different and it worked, cost him nothing

Jelous of your rear bumper and your sunflower

To start I have used the search. I'm looking for pics on DIY air con removal. So far iv found a guy that replaced the bottom pulley with 1 from a Toyota and used the original belt. Has anyone else done a DIY setup ?

its also sad how you have 3 ph1 bumpers and i have none :(

you boys dont hang about. cant be easy moving the engine crane on gravel

as title. are ph1 and ph2 the same colour of black ?

ok cheers. i was just looking at different gearboxes so i was unsure

is there such a car as a ph1 172 cup ? or are cups ph2 only ?. cheers

does anyone no the gearbox code for a ph1 172. im looking for a new box but some on ebay say they do not fit a ph1 172 or cup

cup has nothing to do with the engine
