good point actually.

Rear should. not sure if the front hub carriers are different.

Probably blocked heater Matrix. Give the system a good flush to begin with. Will probably improve it. if its not enough then it needs a new matrix. Tw*t to fit

as rich said i would think again about having the rest of the car painted, you will be disappointed with the results regardless of who does it. Blow into the next panel, sure, to get a colour match but i would leave it there to be honest.

ive got an alternator if you need one. 25 posted. :)

not in my experience. Just a cup of cold water from the inside tap usually does the trick.

could be any old repair job. Just needs Vosa to VIC Check it (Vehicle Identity Check), to make sure you haven't ringed it (confirms the its the original damaged vehicle)

remember you bitching about mine ;) looks good

not really. just get a new one.

horrid colour imo. Just not worth modifying as your never going to get anything back. Nice cars for the money though and extremely reliable. my grandma has one too :)

Removed a couple before. Just never fitted one back in.

have to admit that way appeals to me most. Ill give that a pop then tomorrow. See how i get on. what would you say the 'Book' time for the job is. Got the engine ready out of the donor car.

this for sure then? seems awfully fiddly with everything in place. to be honest. Whats best way of removing shafts? just undo lower arm and top mount and remove the whole unit or take everything apart seperately?

Removing ph quick lump to replace with same. Im guessing i just leave the box/shafts etc mounted in place? Undone the bolts on the box visible from the front, what next? just undo the ones on the back? any tips to make this easier?

there was a decentish blue one on e-bay with rear quarter damage for 1500 starting price.

thats whats applying the immense pressure though. I Think more like a push rod or related item.

i can't see how the window itself is rattling when closed. theyre under a lot of pressure, so much the door bends a little when the window is at the top. Probs the regulator or something.

strange as there should be a large nut holding it on. unless yours was glued, it looks a bit like it was.

theyre putting the longer ratios in any normal 197 produced from a certain date as well.

anyone recognize this engine bay? seem to remember it been someone off here, can anyone remember who?

Ive got a vinyl plotter so im planning on starting producing vinyl stickers etc. Just wondering what people are interested in having? i can produce any custom design and colour including chrome, at a low price. Give me some ideas on what you might be interested in.

they are very easy to replace yourself apparently. What were you quoted for the service itself out of interest?

Needs Re shelling. Not a major Deal. Ive seen it done plenty of times, always hard to make it look like its hpi clear though to be fair.

Sounds likely i reckon.

apparently he doesn't reply to PM's from Co*ks. Which was nice seeing as i had spent about 2500 on a renault trafic engine a couple of weeks before. Some timewaster I am.

172 skirt is the same. they are costly second hand and its unlikely you will get it in that colour. I would bite the bullet and just pay 100 pounds. Seems a bit expensive but if its a good job then its worth it.

don't bother wasting money modding imo. keep saving the money as your 172 is only going to be worth the same as a standard one when it comes to sell.

Ringers paradise that one. Thats who will buy it i imagine.

comedy spelling that one.

Sounds like a right to*ser. imo.
