make sure the cam and aux belts have been done by a Renault dealer or Renault specialist, most garage say they have the proper tools for them but they dont and the timing gets done wrongly causing a power loss.
Rear dampers leak causing them to handle like a bag of s**t!
exhausts are...
if you have modding in your system you will mod any car, i bought the dci to have a nice standard car to cruise about in while having a modified car, ive spent more on that than ive spent on my 172 so far lol
its not worth it
nothings ever worth it when modding cars
this will probably turn into a 6 page thread on why it is or isnt worth it.
i say if you think it will make you happy do it and dont listen to others lol
your a clown, their is a lot more to an engine than "only 10bhp more"
the 138 2.0 16v wasnt designed to be a high reving hot hatch engine, it was designed to be something resonably quick with a nice amount of torque while still being decent enough on fuel which it does extremely well.
price sounds resonable, to be fair id rather get a head rebuild on what was a perfectly good engine even at £1200 than stick a cheap £500 engine in it + a new cam and aux belt kit on top of that + fitting for something that you have no service history for when it comes to selling.
lol aye i know!
i nearly smashed the dci that night too when i got brake fade coming up to a tight bend with cheap tyres at the time lol just had to throw her in mash the throttle and hope for the best lol
why wouldnt a garage be competent to change a sump, just because its scotland doesnt mean we only know how to repair horse and kart lol
anyway, sump and probably an hours labour, not to expensive assuming theirs no engine damage
got a black 172 that is swirled to bits! im going to do it on wednesday when im off.
ive got a pc polisher but not used it in years so need everything recomended to me pads the lot!
just give me a list from start to finish, clothes, wash mitt everything lol ideally dont want to spend over...
