Theres a little tab on the left in that pic that a lug on the motor clips into. Can be seen on the right, the motors are universal

How does cancelling work out, I've been thinking the same with mine as I've just sorn it in these financially uncertain times. I'm with Greenlight on a mirrored no claims policy.

Drive a no. 4.0 posidrive screw into the hole in the middle and use that to leave the fir tree out.

Nice work, it all looks very clean around the rear beam and brake hose bracket, surprises me how varying they can be with corrosion. Mines in dire need of a strip down and paintinv. Its killing me seeing people crack on with projects at the moment.

I cant answer your question but my knock sensor plug is in a sorry state and barely connecting to the sensor. I'm not sure the purpose of the sensor but doesnt seem to affect running.

I've only got C4, shall I try a recoat or clean up and reapply?

😖 I did it thinking it wasn't going to rain which it didnt until that night. Is that reversible?

Not so sure mate, I find a car clean can be depressing as it's when I get a closer look at all the defects and think 'what am I doing piling money into this heap' I still carry on though😂

A few weeks back I began treating all back plastics on my 172 but after they have cured the more heavily textured plastics like wing mirror edges and mounts have almost white/grey colouration in the textured dimples. Can I simply scrub clean dry and retreat of is a more radical approach required?

Removing the seats is just 4x nuts under the car, 2 behind round rubber grommets and 2 through holes in the heat shield. The inner ones without grommets I found to be a bit tricky due to corrosion but a bit of plusgas and their off. Lift the seat up and lever out the plastic spacers in the...

Thankfully I'm only 5' 7" I think so the seat height is less of an issue for me, I have taken the spacers out under the bases to lose probably another 12mm

Whack it through some twisties, if you still dont get it you're not going fast enough!

I just wouldnt sell, after all this prices will bounce back. Optimism at its finest!

Exactly, even if things get desperate theres no point me even contemplating selling my car or bike right now, be better off holding out until things improve and sell for half sensible money then. I'll only be buying them back in the future anyway

If this keeps up it wont be long before I accept!

50p and a 12 pack of toilet roll? It is flame red after all!

I cant see any car selling for top dollar right now nor would I consider selling one currently given the financial situation. My 172 is probably currently worth the same as the change I found down the side of the footwell carpet - 32p

It was missing the one rear fixing entirely, I dont think it had been there for a long time, not even a bolt in the rail

Got the chance to finish fitting a new battery tray today after I noticed mine had one of the mounts snapped off. It's made a noticeable difference the the gear change and power delivery seems sharper, it had been moving around a lot going by the wear mark's.

Cheers mate, I just gave it a scrub under the tap. Only a battery tray so not really seen

Short of vapour blasting or similar is there anything I can use to clean up the white corrosion on cast alloy parts? The parts I want to clean are too fiddly to rub down with fine wire wool or auto sol really, I wondered if vinegar or a similar acid would work.

One of my customers thought I was 50 today, came home and gave the beard a good trim!

I'm now wondering what we all look like...nerds

I'm swapping over my battery tray if its dry tomorrow so can take a photo of my gearbox fix then.

I'm pleased to see we've all grown up together on here, so many people in and around my age. I'd always wondered if I was getting on a bit on here - seemingly not😁

40, I'm a certified sad ba$tard then😫

Dont later mk2 Clio campus come with the newer style Renault badge, see quite a few of them around on 07 and Im sure Ive even seen 08 plates. Did they run them alongside the mk3 for a while?

Ive always thought the hole in it is very sloppy considering the bolt size. Theres no thread in the turret on mine like it's been ripped out, just a big ass bolt going through into the arch
