Lenovo packages are a bit of a bargain from several shops. Prob get them cheaper online

I have a spider engine that came out of my RSI. Made 185bhp on throttle bodies a week before I took it off the road so it's still strong. Also got a set of SPAX coilovers, made for a R5 gtt, but adapted with genuine spax parts to fit. Megane exhaust manifold (far better than the williams or...

this is my engine bay with AC removed this is a bay with AC I know what i'd rather work on

Pete. I have brakes on the shelf. HC's are nothing special

looks the same as mine that I've had since 2003 and still working perfectly

Like so

it's about 3 hours work, plus the issue of any bolts that can round off (they're E-torx and they're made of cheese)

well I can tell you from experience that 421s are best for standard compression, but not otherwise. I've dyno'd 2 cars with near identical spec apart from one being high comp (so both on 421s) and the high comp car made 4bhp more. changed to 422s roughly another 20bhp was freed up. there's a...

I'm closest

Above is a very odd cam choice for high compression. big retriction at that point

The tensioner will be seized and the belt loose

have you over filled the engine with oil?

that's how the breather system works. Excess breather gases are re-directed into the inlet tract rather than into the atmosphere. 2 primary reasons being to reduce the engine smell in the cabin, and to burn the vapours which is more environmentally friendly. The downside of a system like this is...

Simple, come up and I'll take you out in my car

I'd bend it up. Had to do it a lot before, even just on springs for some people running 16s (apex springs usually)

saw a 2k old set of billys recently......knocking away, just like they all do

my pretty highly modded 172 was showing 41mpg on a trip back from dorset a couple of weeks ago, driving sensibly. A standard 197 will struggle to break 30mpg no matter how you drive it. 25% is a pretty big difference, especially when you consider a megane 225 will do the same mpg as the clio and...

makes it awkward as you change the angle the bolt goes in, but it's fairly normal to have to bod that bit on very low cars. I'm not running that low particularly, but my bumper isn't held on by those bolts anyway. it clips in quite positively.

Ktec branded suspension is fine, but it's budget kit. They wouldn't try to tell you anything else. Martin at K-tec runs spax on his own car.

jubilee clip, 4 bolts and a plug

change the throttle body. Seen it before and cleaning it is a very temporary solution

compare that to equivalent 172/182 costs though One that sticks out for me is if a lower balljoint goes you need a new arm and these are £221 each. Balljoint on a 182 is under £20

Got a couple of Spax kits in stock to fit 172's currently, all ready to go

I on the other hand have never made the exact same mistake so knew what the solution was straight away........obviously

anything after 2001 will have the same plug. Cheap code readers are good for very little beyond turning lights out What's it doing?

Coops is so tight he won't even grow hair

Renault do them on exchange as a recon. Got them on mine on both sides

right...so "the piece of rubber" you mean the inner CV boot on the near side? 3 bolt attaching it to the gearbox. That is the part number you've posted above

I would suggest plugging in the TPS

that is coming up as a Driveshaft gaiter. Basically a CV boot. When you say inner seal, what do you mean? there's very little available for driveshafts, most of the time you need a new shaft
