182 simply because of the huge heat concentration the 172 manifold gets at the collector

wont work ;) front edge on the exhaust cam would slice the new belt

it's not too low, i use it every day like that with 200kg of tools in the boot

That's lowered ;) you can't get a bonnet bulge in a ph3 bonnet, and the ph3 front is ugly

for a £20 belt is it worth it?

and f**king burn that Max power clio book!!!!!!!!!!

ewwwww ph3 with a ph2 valver bonnet. not a williams replica ;) you can still make the narrow arch mk1s look and go well though, and that looks like a pretty straight one. Complete the set of RSI wheels (the 5 spokes you have on the rear) and get it lowered, then sort the bumper and lights out...

the dipstick only shows the top litre of oil so it might just be low. Be very sure it's actually low and not just very clean oil. Also, that invoice hasn't got oil on it, it says check oil leak.

it's attached to the engine, near the top, at the back of the inlet manifold/airbox

rebuilt? i take it a new oil pump was used?

well as far as i'm concerned the aux belt is overdue, so get both done fairly soon

oil rubber erm......

out of interest, has the aux belt been done since the cambelt last was?

strictly speaking it's 72k or 5 years. I'd leave it not much over 4 years and 60k personally. You're fine for miles, but when in 2006 was it done?

oh, BTW, you should replace the cambelt primarily because of the oil soaking it's had. It'll rot it. so you'll need to remove the whole lot anyway

you'll need to get the aux belt off. My money's on the wrong cam seal being fitted to the inlet cam and the VVT pulley has crushed it

it'll be safe if you drive it gently and under 5k. Will be a bit rough and try to stall though probably

without a dyno it's not properly custom mapped

let me check my crystal ball ;) take it back and say you think it's blowing

well there's no released map for them at the moment, so until we're happy with a kit map you'll be going for custom mapping
