^i NEEDED the bearings, the rest went in the bin

yep, all YS stuff is JP made

squeaking when? cold? hot? turning the steering?

^have you ever measured the temps the cambelt and idlers etc get upto? (we're talking over 100degC) its heat cycles that kill them

water pump

Paul is awesome

lower alternator bolt, ive had them come loose a few times, get it sorted ASAP otherwise the aux belt "could" come off and jam the cambelt = bye bye engine

standard on the D4F

thats a waste of time TBH

<3 :o the 172/182 is only a 20min job to do the plugs anyway

just your hearing ;)

sounds well dodgy, NGK PFR6E-10 are the correct plugs for the 172/182, did you get the old ones back? from renault they are £15each plus vat!!!

the cambelt tensioner is wrong (but that looks like it was before you fitted the cams) and the crank is in the wrong position why didn't you lock the engine at TDC with the pin and horseshoe tool before taking it apart? what are the cams specs?

its a 197 ;) its a 10min job

^they don't fit properly mr maynard ;) dealer only for the correct topmounts

its not the belt that fails, its the plastic upper idler in 99% of cases the thing people forget is this your car is a 2005 REGISTERED vehicle, but could've been built in 2003, so could infact have a 7year old cambelt on there

don't bother with the manifold, not really worth it

that was worth £7.5K all day IMO

172 systems are £449 182 systems are £459 no idea where you got that price from!

driving like a complete weapon? fitted correctly?

yes you can buy just the backbox, but you'll be looking at cira £300ish on its own

and how will your engine run?

if i feel like it you might ;)

last time i checked rovers were from birmigham ;)

behave, track car = 5W50 or 10W50 - done

think he's on about the mk1 clio (ie the williams style)

plugs have been pre gapped for 10+years these days, a quick visual inspection - done

no that's fucked, should sit a tiny tiny tiny bit over half ALL THE TIME new thermostat and coolant temp sensor needed

hum, sounds proper dodgy, his place not do 12months warranty?

new/second hand valves won't cause a second failure fella (but using second hand bits is pikey, uber pikey)
