tensioners are getting to be pretty much seized every time i take one off now. most aux failures are down to the lowe idler breaking up My normal price is £436 for both kits. Add a water pump (£69 iirc) and then an oil and filter change (at least £50?) and you're past £550

undo the dampers from the bottom bolts (not the top nut, that's awkward!) lower the axle, and you can pull the system out

cheap. I'd assume that's just an aux belt and not a tensione rkit though?? Agree with you on the dephaser

more likely the lower gearbox mount (dogbone) making the exhaust knock on the subframe

ok, if the belt hasn't had something happen, then a backfire is normally a very misplaced spark. Check everything is ok with the dizzy, maybe the rotor arm has broken or the cap has come loose and damaged a contact?

cheaper oils will normally degrade quicker and not be quite as good at coping with very high on track temperatures. For normal use, as long as the appropriate SAE grade is used then there's no issue

72k or 5 years, so on an 05 you're due/overdue

T30 torx. The screws shouldn't come out of the aircon lid really. They're a cutting thread so any screw that fits will work for you

you can just about see the cams yeah, the filler does have a baffle half covering the opening under it though

massive bang sounds like cambelt failure tbh, but the engine would normally crank faster due to loss of compression

I do mine every year. There is no point skimping on things like that for the few £ they cost

ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa

i really like the exclusive so GTF!. 182 cup is very meh indeed.

Van belongs to a guy from griffin autos. Everything a sleeper should be, and by god its fast

most likely the breather box gasket is leaking. Best solution is to lose the original gasket and seal it with silicon

my money is on plenum to rocker cover seal being disturbed

it did work, it got pulled a couple of days ago

throttle bodies, cams, headwork. All possible and available

pissing me RIGHT off. MSN keeps overheating my laptop and crashing 3 times a day, and i've not even linked to to anything else

you're also not changing the tensioner and idlers with the above method, which is a very silly thing to do

it will NOT work on a clio for multiple reasons

It's definitely not, that's the main one that's missing

middle hose is top of stat housing to header tank right hose is top engine outlet (at stat) to rad top hose left hand hose looks like it's been cut as the lower section of hoses is a complex series in one piece. The part that's there goes from the bulkhead to the outlet under the temp sensor.

Matched inlets would work in a very similar way that they do on the 2 litre. de-cat, remap, and a really thorough service to make sure everything is working perfectly. K4M is quite well supported for tuning. There's a reasonable parts supply if you want to go further.

I doubt it, there's only so many combinations possible

works on some stuff like vauxhall 8v engines. Wont work on a 172/182 though, the crank pulley is free floating as soon as the crank bolt is removed. Pikey as f**k too

which engine is it? F4R with the plastic inlet manifold? have you plugged in to diagnostics at all? sounds like it could be an idle valve issue (is it cable throttle? ), but also lambda sensor could be complicating it

i've seen that done. Normally revs up though

yes, same sensor

i think Janspeed will do one-off's
