Not sure mate, but wud be worth a try as taking the cams out isn't an easy job!

You can buy oil additive in any motorfactors to release them. For about £5 it's a cheap fix before ripping the head apart?

Could be a sticky hydraulic tappet?

Yea, but it works! ;)

Where's the rattle coming from?

Pull the pipe off, start the engine and move the steering wheel from lock to lock several times. Then replace the fluid!

Silkolene Pro Cool is 50% Glycol. Is it ok to use this in a 172?

The MK2 DCI 100 uses a laguna gear box IIRC!

Anyone Any Suggestions!

Anyone? Need to get it sorted 2moro!

Take an angle grinder to the wheel well! Haha! Then tell be if it works!:D

Need to change the coolant in my 172 and was wondering what to use. Was thinking Silkolene pro cool! Anyone used it? Any gud? Thanks!

I use 5w40 Castrol Edge and NGK plugs. Had bosch super 4's for a month nd replaced them as they were s**t.

Going flat out at it u could have it out and the new 1 in in bout 15hrs. I had to replace mine and it took about that. My mate who's a renault mechanic did it tho so maybe leave a couple more hrs to do it. This included stripping the engine apart and replacing cam belts, clutch etc.

Anyone any ideas? I'm thinking it mite be a idle control valve or something? Wud that cause this?

Anyone? Don't wanna take it 2 the stealers as they'll charge a fortune just to open the bonnet!

Lol It's my wee bro's nd he has over 60k on it already.

Any ideas as to the cause? It seems to stall when depressing the brake and clutch when the engine is cold. Never seen anything like this happen before so I'm a bt confused. Help anyone? Thanks!

Mite not be a coil. Could possibly be a lambda probe?

It's normally the Pre cat sensor that goes as they get the most abuse, hottest fumes etc. Not sure how to test the signal, but a diagnostics test will tell you, u'll need a computer to put the light out anyway!

TDC Sensor as it will control the ignition timing! Change this as it's a relatively cheap fix.

Basically you take it out, turn it round and put it in the other way. Or so a renault mechanic told me!:quiet:

My 172 has 21mm nuts on the top mount!

I had the same problem. Bottle of radweld later... No leaks :D

You can only recieve 1 fine, so when he said you get a 30 quid fine for each ligh he's lying. If you get caught speeding with your foggys on he'll only do u for speeding. Unless they take you to court and do ya for both!

Any idea which 1 it is?

Anyone know where I can find the relay for the front window wipers on my 172?

It's Titane Gris and any good paint mixing company shud be able to sort you out.

U'll need a non air con radiator for starters!

4.5k? Is it a diesel? :rasp:
