Think its down to the diff, you'll find if you got both front wheels jacked up and u rotated one clockwise, then the other would turn anti clockwise. But if you try to turn both in the same direction at the same time, then they would lock
had to LOL at that zoe!
i see dans been busy on it then? :p nah its looking good. that exhaust best not be too loud, dont want it keepin me awake on the drive down to nurburg :p
Are the jms kit and v6 boxes completely different or are they similar? Just wondering if its worth the extra for the jms kit over a v6 box from a scrappy?
Belts kits - 250 quid
Timing tools - 60 quid (your estimate)
100 quid to ur mate
That's 410 quid, for the sake of an extra 50 quid take it to a specialist, its a no brainer
Did yours do it all the time mate or only once the engine had warmed up a bit?
Mine sounds fine when the car is completely cold ie its not moved for a few days
Lol I'd give anything for 5 degrees right now!
I used to get this on my old mondeo and was lead to believe that if the engine stood for a day or two then the lifters would drain, then they would fill back up when you started the engine but they would tap for a second or two then clear...
Well my 172 is making the dreaded noisy diesel sound. My first thoughts were obviously dephaser pulley but after reading up on here I'm not so sure now. is it possible that a lifter has gone? The annoying 'tick' is there throughout the Rev range, whereas am I right in thinking with the dephaser...
Just about to change the oil on my 172 and wondered should I flush the engine inbetween oils? Also think I got a noisy lifter so is it worth putting some of that sticky lifter treatment stuff in?
Cheers peeps
one of the oldest and one of the most unknown...lol
still aint had chance to take pics of the car yet tho. loving it at the moment, its just a got a few little bits that need doin and then i'll be completely happy with it
