I cannot believe you even posted this :) You my friend are pure genius !

Have a Clio 1.2 which is fitted with an electric rack. When driving straight ahead it feels to have a 'high spot' ! The effect is that is seems to be very sensitive to road surface. Can only describe at a bit 'vague' .... The tracking has been checked and all is good. Tyres are good with no...

When my clutch went the guy at renault talked me out of the Elf box oil. They only sold it out of a lrge drum. I went and bought some valvoline box oil. Works perfectly and was cheap ( £10 filled the box ). I recall it is specific for french boxes, Renault and Peugeot. Cant recall the...

i went for valeo kit from europarts. 100 delivered i think... comes with thrust bearing...

Spotted in multistorey carpark in Shatin. Anyone on here ?

When i did mine i pulled the engine. Had other bits to do as well . aux belt. It would have gone a dream had i not had to do it in 3 inches of snow and had the issue with the gearbox. Oh well life is one big learning process ....

do we have a skoda part number for this ?

Yep thats the one. Mine got quite badly chewed when the release baring went poop. I undidi the bolts but couldnt shift it. Unbeknown to me i had managed the pop the seal off the back of it. Not too bad on my phase 1 as it just refits with a new sleeve. Apparently on a phase 2 the box needs...

Here is my advice. Dont be smart and try and remove the sleeve over the input shaft to the box. I did and disturbed the seal. Had to take the whole lot out again !

if its a 172 - be afraid , be very afraid !

That would have been my wife if it was south bound. Did she really let you out ?

whats an annual service ????? :)

cheers mine is cracked from someone attempting to lever the radio out !

is it possible to remove the silver trim around the air vents in a Phase 1 172 ?

You will see the importance of the bolt when you put the box back on. Allows you to locate the piggin thing while you break your back trying to lift it into place. Feeling strong ???

what ever you do dont losen the flange around the input shaft to the box. I did and it spewed all the box oil out over the nice new shiny clutch :( By moving it i had popped the seal off the back of the flange. Fortunately on a Phase 1 172 box it pushes back in. Apparently with a later box...

not changed on mine. 108K and still chugging along !

I have a standard 172 phase 1 wheel that has a very slight buckle on the inside. Is it practical to have it repaired ?

i had this. it was the fuel pump relay. swapped it for the cooling fan relay and away it went...

MR Clutchquoted me £250 for a clutch change. I asked twice before i believd them. I then asked around and called them back. Couldnt believe my ears when they said they fitted a relined clutch !!! I bought a valeo from eurocarparts and did it myself......apart from i didnt see the damaged...

Took 4 weeks to change my clutch !!!!! Major dramas but now all sorted !!!! Remember - dont touch that gearbox sleeve :( In reality it books at 8 hrs i think.... My valeo clutch works like a dream and that is after it got a good soaking in oil :(

I sold a set recently but then i have damaged one slightly. I am convinced they are made of cheese ! Only very slight dent on the inner rim where i caught a pothole. Are they repairable ? Is it economical ?

On way home last night light starts flashing and car runs on 3 ! Get home check coil pack and no problems. Check injectors and another has failed ! Thats 2 in a week ! What is going on. Lucky i had a spare from the other day. Now sorted..... Any ideas why 2 have failed in such a short...

this morning after spirited 5 mile drive the light started to flash and car went into limp mode. stopped switched it off. started and still in limp mode. after a mile or so cleared back to a solid light. now running perfectly with light solid. ggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

After sorting my gearbox out i started the car and then found that the emission light was on. After checking i realised that i had not reconnected the exhaust sensor which is next round the back of the gearbox. Is this a case of having the fault cleared ? My guess it registered as the system...

Clutch slipping :)

Air leak somewhere ?
