    Aux belt shredded, Done Cambelt?

    Aux belt normally goes between the bottom crank sprocket and the belt, iv never seen this happen and the engine still run so i dont think you should be too worried. Theres a chance the running problem is something else. If it were me id lock the crank, pop the cam plugs out and have a look.

    Aux belt shredded, Done Cambelt?

    Yea its common for the aux belt to go under the cambelt. Chances are if it its still running ok then youve caught it in time.

    Insurance renewal shocker - Tesco!

    How the fvck can they justify a 50% increase tho? Used to dream of the day i reached 25 and car insurance went down, never happened!

    Just had my renewal through, Pissed to say the least. 27 year old male, 9 yrs NCB, 53 plate 172, No points or convictions, Limited mileage, fully comp... £1000!! Up from about £650. Absolute f*cking madness :mad:

    A clean and a few new snaps :) (slightly pic heavy)

    As above Clean plates, any spoiler even a standard 172 one.. Oh and a clio badge would look better than two holes in the boot. Can get that looking nice for peanuts.

    1.2 engine really loud, tappets?

    They can get so bad that it affects running and sometimes they cause a banging / backfire sound from the inlet. Was a renault tech note about it.

    Air Con Issues (typical during the summer!!)

    Nope. Chance are you've got a leak. If theres no pressure in the system (3 bar iirc) then the compressor wont cut in. I take it the fan works now just no cold air?

    Guess whoever fitted it forgot that the dephaser pulley sits inside the seal, unlike the exhaust side.

    Oil change time.....

    If i was that serious about it id buy something decent (mobil 1 etc) at about £30 for 5 litres, and change that every 6 months.. At the end of the day its a clio?? Unless its a big power forged engine worth £££££ or a turbo then its seems a waste to me.
  25. SkidMarx

    Oil change time.....

    So your going to use £73 worth of oil every 6 months??

    Can't remove track rod end from track rod

    As above, ideally get the track rod end glowing cherry red and it'll undo a piece of piss. Your best bet without oxy is to get big vice grips on the track rod and give it some hammer, might crack it off... Hammer the grips that is dont start trying to bend the track rod! Vice grip teeth damage...
