Gutted, I contacted him about this today too :(

Yeah, thats what mine used to sound like, lol Decat, and no baffles in the back box http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zaLwM0kpSY0

Before lashing money on a zorst, get the b*****d belts done FFS

Hmmm, were they OE shocks? Checked them for leaking? Failing that, could possibly be ball joints or front arm bushes but the facts its squealing and kicking out of gear.......... that box needs to come off

2 slow, too curios

Needs a new clutch/box and new rear shocks

water filled Nomad gauge is cool Front end probably has standard Mk4 shocks n springs on Manifold studs and nuts are a pain in the arse as most of them thread. I would get a new set all round with reverse torx heads on them all to hold them in place when tightening/undoing

Fantastic video guys, love how tail happy that clio is. makes me want a Phs1 now though, lol

Front end seems to have been painted correctly if it has, as its got the bumper stickers. Still looks a good car for the money, with cracking mileage

That 90 spec bumper is yours for £40 mate. Its in good condition, but white, so will need painting in any event

I aint breaking mine, just selling the brakes on to recoup some cash back into the clio fund PM me your address, will fire this water pump in the post to you. Its nay good to me, came off that zvh block. Its a CVH one, looks fairly new

Damn. I need a bargin like this. Even when youve paid to have belts done, thats cheeeeps

Dephaser solonoid?

Not without taking off the belt, and once a belt it off, the lot needs replacing...... unless its been done VERY recently, then you could get away with just a belt. But the labour is still all there

Marco, I have a 90 spec bumper here if you're interested? Also have a nice set of 2wd Cossie 4 pot brake calipers, pads, and discs, with brand new (still in the wrapper) braided lines ;) If you are interested, give me a shout Oh, got a decent water pump too....... and a recently refurbed head...

A little over priced in my eyes. I wouldnt pay more than £2250 for that at the current climate

That had the belts done on it?

Stop f**king about, making 125 posts about what to do. you have been told, take it to an RS Spcialist and let them diagnose it properly. Yes, you might want to stay local, but your local garage know f**k all about this engine. You pays your money, you takes your chances. You have been given...

Check the thread at the top of the page, then tell me you trust them to work on an F4R

Agreed. That looks rough as f**k

Local garage + cambelt changes = trouble.

You need a leakdown test if you think your rings have gone

Re: Just fallend into 172 ownership! Damn right With a clean body and a receipt for the cambelt by someone reputable, you have a £2-2250 car there.

Why on earth has it got cup headlights and seats??

Didnt he used to do a lot of work on 205GTis?

Re: Just fallend into 172 ownership! Fair deal

Could that not be a case of timing out so not sparking at the right time meaning its over fueling? I would be doing a leakdown test before pulling the engine out

I have just read both pages in full.......... and I am still no further on, ha ha I guess I just need to piss about, driving a few, and then buy whichever my heart says

Can that actually be done chip?

So, looks like I will be coming back to the clio fold very soon. I've decided to stay true and get another 172, but for the life of me, I cannot decide what to get. I love mondial blue and turinis, the whole package just looks awesome. However, not sure I can get on without aircon or...
