i did one like a banana and shifted it on the bushes. didnt touch the subframe.....

dont crash without it .....

I agree. I get mine done in a back street garage. Never had a problem.....

I checked out Mr Clutch last year for my 172. I discovered they are cheap but they fit relined clutches. Cant believe in this day and age they still do this. This is such a false economy.

Assuming it has a warranty then let them get on with it. If they all have fat fingers then engine out is a good option. Get them to check the clutch at the same time. Wont take long to drop the box off when the engine is out.

Anyone have any idea on the paint code \ match for the wheels on a standard phase 1 ?

they never fit mate. be persistent and you will get there...

just dropped in price at renault from £120 to £60.

Cheers. As i thought...

I see the arb mounts to the axle beam then picks up from the damper mount of the hub. Surely there is no load between these points. Can anyone explain how the arb functions ? When fitting arb to other cars have always fixed the bar to the chassis. The as each wheel goes into bump then the load...

Will any 172 / 182 PAS pump fit my phase 1 ?

Fluid is fine. Is the pump a big job ? I can do aux belts quite easily so just a matter of switching the pump ?

Can any of you clio geniuses please identify the noise my Phase 1 is making. ? It had an aux belt kit about a year ago and i have changed the aux belt again today. Car runs perfectly apart from this noise at parking speeds when the steering is loaded. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiaBkSv-drM

I want that 17TS......

sure someone told me that on occasion it has been known for the nut to spin inside the chassis when unbolting the frame form the chassis. simple clips retain the nut and that can break \ spin ? maybe i dreamt it ???

i do believe a cup is quite a bit less work due to the lack of aircon and auto tensioner arrangement. i have been quoted by a specialist £450 for my phase 1 which is aircon and requires the tensioner kit etc.

Everyone knows the sunflowers are the most exclusive, the quickest and worth the most ! ( baiting :) )

My Sunflower has 122K on it. I bought it at 85K (one owner, not abused ) and it still pulls the same now. As said before its the other bits. Even then worst i had was a clutch release bearing go at 110K. The clutch itself i changed but it still had plenty left on the old one.
