Is this a common issue, i'm interested in a 172 Cup and it seems tidy apart from the guy selling it tells me it makes a knocking sound in 1st and 2nd and after taking it to a garage says its the gear box mount.
Does this sound right? Any knocking issues worry me.
Lastly if it is the GB mount...
I've been without a car for 3 weeks now, it's not a massive issue as there are a few people from my work who live locally to me so wangling a lift is fairly simple.
But i don't just want to wait and wait forever on the off chance 1 good un comes up for sale.
As for budget, wouldn't want to...
Currently looking for a tidy Ph1 172 but they're either high milers or low with crap service history.
Is this what i should expect and simply give up or keep looking?
Go and whip your willy with a wet nettle you pervert lol, my girlfriend rang me while i was at work worrying about it. There was nothing i could do as i'm not close enough so thought i'd whack a quick post up asking as i know there's alot of knowledgable people on here.

Right i'm on the lookout for a Ph1 172 and would like to (in time) do plenty to it. I've decided in my head what i want to do exterior wise but i keep hearing/reading about the RSTuner.

sorry should have mentioned this is a photo i got off google as my girlfriend has the car today.
Renault reckon it was nearly empty so suggested perhaps there was a leak, i just want to check i was keeping my eye on the right tank.
Please excuse my ignorance but could someone please tell me where the expansion tank is located in a 182?
The car went in for a service the other day and a note was made on the level in the tank.
All info details would be greatly appreciated.
