Pretty straight albeit very wet road, few cars in front, no oncoming traffic, 50mph from 4th to 3rd, start to accelerate, not hard I must add, the back end steps out, back off a littler and apply some opposite lock, starts to come back but the front end touches the opposite verge and then it was...
Still brings a tear to my eye looking at these:
before:
After:
Ouch :(
All I can say is 10 days with 280bhp+ at the rear wheels, no traction control and a very wet road is a bad combination. :'(
I did replace it with this though:
Which was a UK spec car, one of only 124...
Good quote. Same as mine with Greenlight. 28, points gone now but still declared for a PC30, also 2 accidents, 1 my fault. RX7 in the wet = FAIL!

I've ordered one today and no mention of better quality items in 4 weeks :( and definitly no mention of further discount.
Arrives monday. see what it's like, if it's pants it's going back!

I've just emailed K-tech about this. Only interested in one that's a direct swap. I don't want to be messing about with drills and stuff, not when paying £300+ !

Ok this thread has me worried.
Just taken ownership of a 2004 53plate 172 with full Renault service history currently on about 45,000 miles.
In the service history that I've got there's no mention of an auxillary belt change to date. I've spoke with the person I got it from and they insist...
