i work for a dealer mate and the advise i can give if it helps is refuse to speak to anyone but the dealer princable/brand manager,explain politly how you took pictures before and the state after and how the damage was caused at the garage
they say because its a 172 they cant get the bits,same as my track rods,though even renault told me to begin with they only came with the rack lol
so we think genuine plugs and magecor leads?
i have this missfire that doesnt have any regularity to it,its like a plug lead arcing out,which i think it could be,but renault want 97 quid for set so i dont wanna spend that if thats not it!
i had a bad missfire which made it run on 3 cylinders and engine light flashing,which turned out to...
to be fair a turbo 2000 will be a uk engine,and they will last forever,my old scoob i had till it was on 111k and ran like new,its the imports that dont last long
still wouldnt swap tho
wow iv notbeen on for a few days and i missed this,sorry to here this mate must have made you sick,soooooooo glad your getting her back , dont worry about condition,cars are solid old things, a bit of bad driving wouldnt have done any harm,nothing worse than u do mark ;)
seroiusly tho im so...
cheers Daz! u should have a pm bk bud
cheers rich,def will run it for a bit to check she all ok,might even keep her if i dont get any decent offers for her and use it as a daily hack type thing?
thats your problem i think. short trips can cause moisture build up giving you head gasket symptoms,my gf's corsa does this,its been oing it for 2 years,never used a drop of oil,i just change the oil more regularly and clean out the breathers
not sure yet,one idea was sl@g it,but to be fair as there wasnt that many sold i think i will clean it right up,use to for a few months to check everythings ok then sell her,what ya think?
i got this for free,still taxed and tested,a mk3 golf gti 2.0 16v,just wouldnt start
sounded like the starter wasnt engaging,till i noticed the alternator spinning..............no compression,so off with the filler cap,no cam movement,took the belt cover off and its stripped all the teeth...
i was thinking this the other day,i think i got a good deal payin a smidge over 2k for my ph-quick bk in march,and tbh the way prices keep going up and down i might as well just run it for as long as i can
