Lol...no one knows what you are actually asking.

Yes I agree it will eventually affect performance and economy and they are about £49 from GSF and 5 mins to fit.

This depends on the year as the older ones had tapered rear bearings.

I suppose its possible for the bearing to fail due to heat build if the rear brake was dragging.

I had this and it was my alternator bearings. Have a listen using a long screwdriver (handle to your ear and pointy bit on alternator)

Lol...you get cruise control on 172s as well.

Also check the front springs as both of mine were broke and caused this knock/rattle as the broken bit remained and was jingling (is that a word) against the strut.

Im not sure about the ph 1 but on mine its the plug for the downstream lambda sensor.

Its a lifting eye for engine removal

Aye that was me heading to a wedding in the Piersland hotel, just back home and feeling rough!

Aye Paisley is nice

I think its now about 8 million...... aye you can keep that

Lol, we are trying to tighten up our border patrols to stop you lot buying up our cheap land.

Its all down to personal choice which is good, it is a free market. I would personally rather wash my own car and having served my time in a main dealership many years ago I wouldnt want someone else driving it. I can also see no reason for dealers being competitive in the labour rates.

Because it is a condition of their franchise. Just because a customer buys a car from them they do not have rights of service and neither they should. They should be looking to their pricing structure and customer care if people are going elsewhere for service work.

I had this problem and put a couple of tack welds in and its fine now.

Is the noise speed related? Possibly transmission?

Check for a broken spring or worn anti roll bar bushes.

This happened on mine when the alternator was on its way out they are a weak spot on Clios.

Sorry dont know the history here but it will only be on HPI reg if you were paid out for its loss.

It may well be good practice if required but on standard springs and dampers its not necessary as the thread on the top of the damper protudes without any compression on the spring.

The upstream lambdas are prone to failing.

You wont need coil spring clamps on the 172 just pull the damper out as far as it will go and re assemble the top mount.

Anything not built by the French!

It could be the alternator bearing as mine did this I and understand they are weak on these.

Emission light? Lambda sensors are common.

What is actually wrong with it?

Special precautions to be taken during the brake circuit bleeding operation: – The vehicle ignition must be off to ensure that the hydraulic unit solenoid valves do not operate. This procedure, known as conventional bleeding, can be applied after removal or during replacement of: – a rigid...

Or just wait until the car is a year old and it will fall off as mine did.

Must brakes be bled in a specific order? Bleeding is done one wheel at a time. The "old timers" will tell you to start with the wheel furthest away from the master cylinder and then work your way closer. Typically, this would mean RR, LR, RF, then LF. However, it doesn't really matter if...
