your tensioner pivot (the bit the allen bolt goes through) has rusted up and seized

i have it in a message that they're "remanufactured"

they're re-grinds, i asked a while ago. do not want

the cup is removable, different attachments are about £25 iirc. not got one myself, used to use one and want one of my own

as dave says, gasket wears out, springs come loose. Worth buying a decent kit though. cheap gaskets wear out faster

facom one is the best but it's very expensive for occasional use. I've got a sykes one with levers both ends that i dont like much but manages to reach

use mild wire which is softer and it's normally fine. never had any issues.

ignore the brake sensor one throttle sensor will be either the pedal, or the throttle body intake temp sensor is the sensor in the side of the inlet runner on cylinder number 4

it's just different from the subframe brace. The hook locates on the box casing.

i salvage the trim clips for spares (same as arch liner clips that are often missing) and bin them

that's the dogbone re-enforcing brace. Goes from the front dogbone bolt, forwards, to the bottom of the gearbox

renault attempt to make 182 more refined.

it's not the separation that would cause any issue. I'm paraphrasing from memory of a tech document i read about 7 years ago, but GL5 has a high sulphur content, and some boxes dont like that dependant on the synchromech material. I've always avoided it because my nissans and peugeots are...

the bolts have a shoulder on them, you can't overtighten the springs. once it's bottomed out though, the nuts dont need to be over tightened

i believe you will have pencil coils (1 coil on each spark plug). these are well known to be an issue in loads of renault engines

that piece of sound deadening (not the firewall ;) ) looks pretty normal, but the rubbing is why i never re-fit them

nfj is GL4, trj is GL5. I'd only use GL4 personally

Thursday night, about 7-7.30. We wenty past in a grey passatt estate that you probably didn't blink at

wont be disasterous, however, I'd look closer at the specs on the label, see if they're both GL4 or GL5 etc

that's why i like to modify genuine cables (cut the end off basically) and use a jenvey linkage. Could easily use a twin cable linkage, Scott Falkner is running one on his ex cup-racer rally car

be a good idea to pressurise the cylinders through the sparkplug holes now the cams are out. might help you find where air's leaking before you pulll the head

sucks :( sticky valve maybe or a rocker arm become dislodged?

I'm pretty sure from Markone's 20valve conversion that the 172 arb gives loads more room just where you need it....

I've done one, shimming the head is the worst of it really. One I did needed a piston though, smashed a piece off.

fair difference when tested back to back. Pipercross is less restrictive than ITG by a big margin, and the price is a lot lower too

be fine to tap in situ. what you should do is get a litre of cheap ass oil and once you've done the thread repair, leave the plug out and let the oil flow straight out to just rinse any small bits of swarf out

spark plugs

looks like it needs to go up about an inch all round tbh. Looking smart though! You're completely right on the nose down stance, they look stupid if they're arse down
