Glad its gone to a good home Pete and likewise a pleasure, was sad to see her roll off the drive yesterday evening! Enjoy and looking forward to seeing it once you have had the arches done, always got a good few comments at cars and coffee, just not that many about anymore

Few people on eBay offer a repair service for the MK2 Example here https://ebay.us/m/vIN6DU

From memory you removed the pin and then I jammed the flywheel with a pry bar to torque

I have found if you don't have the locking cogs well placed and then really tightened up along with removing the slack from the backing plate as you go to undo the exhaust pulley bolt the bracket moves and then the pulley gets away from the locking assembly and all moves. Try and place and then...

Plus one on the relay issue, just swap them around it may well start then you know

Must use the same as this one, would have minimised my aux belt catastrophic fail

I got one of these seems pretty well made and snug fit https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334176018603

I have a Mitsubishi L200 poly type on my 172 as also struggled to get one, fitted a treat albeit being bright orange, perfect dimensions Not sure if it was an inner or an outer but for sure was a L200 one like this, sure widely available down in SA...

The superhuman strength needed to compress the aux belt tensioner, normally have to compress that with a jubilee clip or similar, then roll the belt back on Run with caution with that alternator bolt out as if the aux belt strips will likely take the cambelt out or at least jump a few teeth

@Brigsy is correct, if really only 2 teeth out will have just glanced the pistons when the dephaser advanced, I got lucky as mine jumped 2 teeth on the bottom pulley while breaking into a harpin due to a aux belt stripping and I worked out in a few seconds what had happened as was still running...

I reckon your resistor pack may have gone under the scuttle on drivers side not too bad to get to and cheaper than fan motor, can test the resistance of your old one first 515136 valeo part no. few on eBay goes in here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/373871786714

PH1 172 I assume?

Do you have this sequence of lights and hear a pump prime and stop?

Hi @Colink You are in the right place for the relays see your pic below I have marked it up red arrows, they are sat on a vertical holder that clips out, Mk2 Ph1 do have them there as I have an early one and sure both early and late version both had relays down there (alu bonnet and non alu...

Swap the one marked aricon and fuel over it maybe bad relay. Had exactly same on my one

Try swapping the relay in front of the fuse box under the bonnet.

It is a pain in the arse, there is a guide somewhere will see if I can find it as bracket and how you move it not clear as loom so tight and need to remove the torx from under the little cover in the door shut also from memory. Tight as to remove as had mine out recently and maybe why they...

Final update... With the MOT passed, extensive road test complete, I can confirm she has survived and is just a lively as ever! Track day planned for September and hoping to get a few more laps in this time Thanks for all the help and advice

Had a few hours spare this morning so attacked the aux belt, it is on and I still have all my fingers, jubilee clip on the tensioner and rolled it over the bottom pulley with a little bit of rag as protection. I have to say this was more tricky than doing the cam belt timing. Fitted the new...

Little update, all parts had arrived by yesterday so decided to have a few hours on this today Removed and resealed rocker cover with Loctite 518, luckily silicone came off pretty easy and hadn't gone into any channels internally, I must have been pretty conservative with application Fitted...

Need to do some man maths here, will be resealing with loctite 518 in any case. Cheers

How much would it go up to do that do you think New inlet valve set £160 Valve seals? Gaskets head, inlet and exhaust etc Would I need new head bolts or can they be re used once? Any other items? Thanks

Well spotted, it was the special loctite si5980 oil flange sealant Spotted this guy using and understand he was a race engine builder and stated lasts a bit longer than the Renault stuff This is where I get told that is a disaster waiting to happen :-), please do tell me if so

Spent a couple of hours tonight cleaning up and then resealing the rocker cover to stop the weep they all seem to get. Timing belt kit and new seals on the way and hope to get all fitted and timed up again at the weekend

Compression test complete this morning, cold engine. Engine is Ph1 172 all standard, 74k on clock and full service history 5 cranks and repeated 3 times on each cyl to get these results and from what I understand these are good but please let me know if they look odd. ?? To note it was cy4 and...

Update and found the real root cause... not track debris Got genuine Renault timing tools delivered and started the strip down, upon stripping cambelt covers off there was aux belt bits everywhere, they really do try and rip the cambelt off when they fail Then found top alternator lug...

Update, firstly thanks for the advise so far everyone, appreciated Borrowed a bore scope this afternoon and as follows Exhaust side of pistons lovely and black, all look just like this Inlet valves.... Cy4 & 3 have two small silver marks Cy 4 seems to have the worst damage assuming the...

Ph1 172 Cut to the chase how bad is this engine gurus....?? we talking pistons, valves and bottom end? Crank locking pin is in, clearly the horseshoe tool isn't going in there :confused:. It runs but quite lumpy, then at 1700rpm when dephaser advances it sounds like a 1990 french derv, unplug...
