be careful, you have a 1.4, the dogbone mount isn't the same part

There is no powerflex bush available for the dogbone mount in the picture. However a ph2 172 dogbone mount should fit, and you can polybush this

well it's not terribly wrong, but being a 0w40 could explain your oil consumption as that is going to be very thin when cold. IMO Mobil 1 also has a disposition to being burned off anyway. Get some 5w40 and see how you get on

water and engines......FFS. Seriously, use a bit of common sense. I fix no end of engines that have been "washed"

What grade of Mobil 1? I remember them only doing pretty thin or very thick, not the correct grade for the F4R. Also not a fan of mobil oils anyway

i'll see you soon for a set of sparkplug and a coilpack

do you have a cat fitted? de-catted they're pretty loud, but they're a large bore so you have to expect that.

182 Cups run a completely different hub with a different bearing to other 182s and to 172s

Not something I'd want to write a guide for really. A big job that you should approach with a good manual (renault genuine one ideally) and an ability to diagnose the fault once it's apart a,d react to findings. you can't do it without timing tools as the head has to come off. You will also...

yes changing a 172 cat is a pain. I'd leave it in all the time personally

well your particular exhaust seems to be the most difficult to get sealed. Angle of the flare has been wrong on all the ones i've seen, and also not a big enough flare so the clamp doesn't have much of a chance really

ebay item is cheap and nasty. Don't bother Swapping to the 182 manifold makes a difference to the midrange, but the work involved makes it touch and go whether it's worth it. I did mine becuase the engine was out. I wouldn't have bothered otherwise. The 172 manifold is still pretty damn good

I've done a few where they've split and cracked on the join. Tapering down to a smaller outlet is one thing for a venturi, but the olive joint is crap no matter how you look at it

can i be head biscuit eater?

I'm coming

clearly not that good if it came off with a jetwash

bit of leverage one end at a time in appropriate places. It's not too bad to do once you get it moving

nope. However 182 inlets will fit a 172, but sometimes need a minor adjustment

not quite. Same number of bolts, just one of them is in a different place

I can do it for a little over half that price, for cambelt kit, water pump and aux belt(s) (depending on if it has aircon) Give me a bell

for track???? 8??!!!!!!! wtf that's softer than i run on the road by quite a long way

completely different. Depends what you want from an exhaust. If you want near standard sounding then the Janspeed is the one. I fitted one today. If you want a performance system I would always go for the Piper.

the janspeed systems and the K-tec ultra systems are both made by Janspeed, but are rather different in design. Don't like the ultra personally.

i can organise all of that

Doesn't make much difference. Ph1 head is easiest to start with as you have larger exhaust ports, but nothing you couldn't replicate on a ph2/182 head (as I've done a number of times) Nothing else that makes any difference is different. Someone pointed out the cranks have a couple of versions...

sounds dodgy as hell to me. I bet it needs pads, disks and pins,

use the normal Dell ordering website to order one then. The Inspiron 1545 is a perfect general use laptop for £349

pepped them up with a nice bit of encona too ;)

vegetarian? f**k off!!! tell that to the 5 sweet chilli sausages I polished off on saturday afternoon

Definitely the throttle body needs plugging in
