You only make those mistakes once. lol

Pretty sure @Nick172Cup has a set of these for sale..

I always take them off and bin them on my own. I'd rather know if there was a leak. And it's a hassle taking it off and on to service.

This. MUCH better all round to buy a 172/182 if that's your plan.

days work if you're handy with the spanners and have a crane.

They're all sloppy as f**k. HTH

As long as it doesn't come up when you pull on it, no drama

Hammer, spin, hammer, spin. I'll just have ringing ears for the next week thanks.

Black or silver is all you ever need for standard calipers.

That is properly f**king perfect. Nicest car on the forum for me.

Yep, need both tools. Lock it all up, remove everything, then you can make sure it all goes back as required. If you're taking the dephaser off, need a 14mm (iirc) allen key for it's oil seal cap..

Crashy IMO. Prolines can't be beaten for me.

That's f**king beautiful. Your wheel choice is horrendous though.

@wayne_182 definitely find a known used engine from here. @midge knows a guy in France who does RS parts - worth giving him a shout.

Urgently needs one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-Skoda-Fabia-Front-Bumper-Splitter-5J08070619B9-Clio-172-182-Cup-PH-1-2-/152045639109?fits=Model%3AFabia&hash=item2366a055c5:g:Go8AAOSwx-9WuxwM

In the Middle East, that's a valid customer service technique.

If you need parts, @stevem42 is in Worthing, and breaks 182's

Just use standard belts with your buckets until you get a cage with a proper harness bar IMO

Did the service include cambelt change? If not, and all they did was an oil change etc, then it's one of those things unfortunately and they can't really be held responsible. If they did the cambelt, i'd say you've got a case in blaming them..., Con rods don't bend over time IMO, there is...

Anyone who doesn't just remove the cap with the keys still in and sling it towards to general direction of the roof is a paint precious fag.x

They're different.

Horrible job. Never again.

Did you loosen off the alternator bolts when fitting the belt?!

I would. Should never rub. You've probably routed the belt wrong.

I have a Play 5 and a Play 1. Quality bits of kit. Not cheap though as said.. For a restaurant where i assume it's not going to be pumping, Play 1's are more than enough.

try what Bloke said with the key. Need the immobiliser light to go out properly before it'll fire. As said though, it should still crank a couple of turns and then give up (if it was just the immobiliser). Give the starter motor a whack, or put it in gear and rock the car back and forward...

100% needs silver wheels.

Yep, pistons will have bent all the valves. Second hand known engine is by far the easiest, cheapest and best option.

@Waitey is a sure fire winner for these normally.

I have an alternator. £35 posted. Pretty sure the cup one is different..
