JB3. Theres a load of variants its been used in a load of Renault petrols way back to the first Laguna.

Sent him one aswell.

The twisted metal one (better one) is 8200 151 995 and its £8.48. Thats for a DCI 80.

Yeah if its the facelift theres a high chance it'll be different.

All 54 plates will be on the 18k/2 yr Ben, how new is your mums? Not getting confused with the free 9k Intermediate checkover which they abolished rather sharpish?

Theres a few threads recently about removing the front bumper/replacing the rad on 172s, if you can change a set of spark plugs, or do an oil change you can change a 172 radiator, not hard, just can take time if you've not done one. If it was at a garage I wouldn't pay more than an hours...

18k or 2 years whichever comes sooner, the later petrols have now gone onto 18k or 1 year due to environmental shite. Take the reg to any Renault dealership and they'll be able to tell you when its had services (if done in the network) Only major area of concern on that engine is camshaft...

Halfords sell all that sort of stuff, any stuff will do.

Dash shine spray, pull it all the way out, and spray it (not loads just lightly) then pull it out all the way again and do the other side.

Rover have used a sealant rocker cover gasket for years

Chances are its been done already but If its a Ph1 172 and you haven't had the belt changed yet, its only about 45 minutes extra job if the belts are all off, locking tools are in. If its leaking around a bolt head - a lot of people try taking each bolt out (not all at the same time) and...

Bottom of the engine bay on the drivers side is below the water pump.... possibly bottom rad hose aswell.

Depends how its looked after, the car and the engine that is, I've seen cars with 20k on in worse condition that one with 100k on and 3/4 years older.

Was it done by your mate who said he had to use a homemade crank peg?

Mine didn't crack when it wore a pigeon at 80mph.

Cracking off only of course :o

Sorry that was about 10 laps of the Nurburgring a some serious abuse back home aswell. Fitted them the night before.

That bloody bar code reader thing everyones starting bumming. ;)

Burp how did you get on in the end? Crank pulley can be an arse without an air gun although you can cheat a few ways although I'd class it as a tad risky.

They've wacked the tensioner on, and started the 13mm nut on by hand (to keep the peg on the back of the tensioner in), till it touches the tensioner, put the belt in, got the jockey wheel on as usual, used the 6mm allen key as usual to tension it, but because the 13mm is against the tensioner...

Pepsi I had halfords discs and DS2500s on my DCI for a bit, sqeeled like a bit but you could put the car on its nose and it'd feel like the back wheels where in the air. Only lasted 2.5k miles though and about £60 but worth it.

Take it off, grease all around it and put it back together? Easy todo if you've got a set of axle stands and a trolley jack.

Hahahahahahahaha

I don't want to buy one and then for them to ban then in a year or so? Have you got one Rich? I'm assuming the Plus has got the detector/jammer? Haz whats your budget, I saw a camera detector for £50 in our motor parts place the other day, looked pretty basic though.

Matt/Trev are they not making the Road Angels illegal soon? The ones with Jammers in?

Doubt its mounts if its only done 2k. To be fair I've driven a few and if you haven't got the clutch pedal fully down the gear changes (particularly 1-2, 2-3 3-2 and 2-1) at low speed it feels like your forcing the gearstick. There must be a few people on here that have noticed it aswell as...

170bhp in a Diesel Ibiza is gonna shift, In a straight line the diesel would have the upper hand I think its fair to say, throw in a few roundabouts and a few country lanes and its bye bye Ibiza. Speak to Ally hes got one mapped and is on about getting coilovers in a thread in Other Marques at...

Ah right fair enough aslong as it hasn't got worse - with the engine cover on as normal.

Teeth in the steering rack could be worn badly, if a bits broken off and jamming in it'll give you a loud grinding noise aswell.

15" Dynamique alloys if you haven't already with Conti Premium Contacts, decent coilovers set up properly. Forget the strut brace, forget the powerflex bushes.
