I did the timing belt in August I think it was. Full gates kit

:(Same person who did it before? (not asking who) might be time to start using a woodruff keyed bottom pulley. New sprocket comes with a key I believe

Faaaark! :( What timing procedure did you use?

i think there was a v6 that caught fire once?? ;)

172 or 172 cup? they're different

can't actually find it on a list, but it wont be gone. If you really want it back, you could start from scratch with another skin?? I dont use it at all personally

I think you're right, but i've not tried it.

should be very very easy to retro-fit a water/oil heat exchanger off an F7R/P

was meant to be one tomorrow iirc. I'm not down til next weekend now though

does sound like a crank sensor problem, maybe it's loose or has a corroded plug? if the sensor gets or gives a weak signal it can often cause a problem in getting a clean rpm reading, and this gets accentuated at higher revs. pest thing to do rather than throw parts at it, would be to plug in...

you forgot the mini-van

seen a few of these recently, normally need a new catch

You're not kidding!!!! i though i was going to melt, good work on the regular cold water top ups :D. Passing jailbait from the college made it worthwhile though ;) Definitely looked better on the turbines, looks like any other clio now. get them changed back

crappy phone picture, but this is how you can dial in cams on an F4R with a DTI, using tooling supplied by Catcams

THANK YOU!!!!!!! Not liking the incinuations being made TBH And as said........good luck using a DTI on an F4R without some very specialised tools (that do exist, but you'll need to spend several hundred pounds on them), and all for probably the mildest upgrade cams known to man, the...

RXE is an 8v The original picture is 100% an 8 valve engine, I've done a couple of top end rebuilds on them in the last few months

Laguna alternator (1.8 8v F3P engine) physically fits, and works, but some wiring is different.

every airleak i've seen on a 172/182 has just made the revs go up and up

I've had a few silver-calcium batteries now, they're excellent in general, seem to be able to get much higher CCA from a smaller bettery

Halfords are very expensive for most things, especially batteries

yes they did make 53 plate 182s

because it wont be fucked within 3 months like the stock item :rasp:

i dont see a downside to using a woodruff key, but then, I havn't seen issues with the crank pulley unless the aux belt fails and gets tangled

mk2 ph1 1.4 sport had an 8v. No such thing as a 1.4 16v sport Looks like an E7J

good price. Be aware that the water pump is a regular weakness and leaks, even on very low mileage. It's not a hard job at all, but as with most things, some specific product knowledge is well worthwhile. Also, make sure they're replacing the tensioner for that price, might be a bit TOO cheap. I...

depends on the engine. K4M/J (1.6 and 1.4 16v) require similar tools. 1.5 dci requires the correct pins to be used, and 1.2 16v isn't particularly a specialist job, although I've seen a LOT done incorrectly as no-one seems to know how to set a tensioner

brake cleaner. not aerosol though, that's a MASSIVE waste of cash. Buy 5 litres and a squirty bottle and it's superb for cleaning anything greasy

The correct, NECESSARY tools to do the job

If that's not used, it's not been done right

Yes there's more than that, there's even more than one version of the pulley locking tool, it was revised for the 197 which has a different vvt pulley
