Anyone got a sniff of a new high torque m18 yet? Not looked for a while. I’ve a feeling there must be one due soon due to the new mid torque appearing a while back.

Yes, as said sounds like ac pump (pulley). Don’t leave it as it will wipe out your timing belt when the pulley fails, belts jumps and goes through lower timing cover.

You ‘can’ leave the the timing belt a lot longer (my last 172 was in 9 years when I changed it and to be honest it looked fine) but it’s the aux belt that will fail and in turn will destroy the timing belt. But don’t leave the timing belt! Things to replace… crank pulley (guaranteed it’ll be...

If it’s a 50k mile RB then please don’t go through insurance as it’d write it off. I’d get it sorted and keep it as it’ll be worth decent money. or if not, sell it now with a dead engine. If it’s a nice shell you’ll prob still get ok money. Insurance will only shaft you for the next 5 years...

I’d try and find another stock one, always thought mine was a nice tone when saw mate drive it. My more recent 172 has one of these aftermarket systems with downturned tailpipe and it’s a bit annoying honestly.

People will swear by them but I couldn’t wait to get all the uprated mounts off my car. Now I’ve just got to stop all the horrible rattles that they’ve created. #fullsetofktecmountsforsale

May well have a knackered injector.

*IF* it’s the guy I’m thinking of he seemingly trades them as I’ve seen a fair few on eBay and Facebook all with the centre caps removed because he “can’t match the powder coat” done on all the cars. As I say the FB posts normally descend into people slating him for it etc (why it sticks in my...

Yep, it’s his signature move. Every 172/182 you see on the FB sales groups without caps, you know the score. He gets stick for it on FB and think it just motivates him now to keep doing it lol He used to throw them away (or so he said) so at least the buyer got them. Shame as a nice car...

Looks great. I’d love a set on my 200. I will say, the stock split 5 spokes don’t look as bad in the flesh as they do in pics though! Edited to say a set of 197 wheels are fine looking on a 197. I reckon 197 wheels in anthracite would be my pic on a 197. I say sell me the speed lines cheap...

HTH

Is it for a spare? Or for a non working one? one of mine packed up and it was a pretty obvious repair when I split it open.

Thing about mileage (which I do get regards mechanics) is that it’s well related to corrosion. Being an MOT tester I can tell you a low mileage 20 year old car can look really good underneath. An average mileage example of the same car will look a mess of rust. I’d love a mint low mile RB...

Really like mine, could do with some more grunt though but handling and steering feel is lovely. Nice car OP!

Could you use a turbo timer for the job? (Assuming the goal is to keep pump running after ignition goes off for x mins?)

Always felt like a good days work torquing up a set of lorry wheel nuts during summer Maintenance lol

Went to do an aux belt the other day (noisy) Tensioner pivot was seized, bearings for aux bit noisy, crank pulley rubber looked bad. So new crank pulley, tensioner & idler pulleys and aux belt. Had a look at the timing belt while it was off, hmm bit oily (was due last year on time anyway) New...

Regards the storage POV… I’d dish them out amongst dealerships for show, saves the storage issue. I’d probably set foot in a Renault dealer just to have a look at 001 trophy or a V6. Next thing you know salesman starts talking about lineage and red being a no cost paint option and… oops...

This is a great channel, worth subbing to and watching the old vids (especially the cossie one). Always nice long vids and Guy has the right idea with the cars. Yes it’s subtitles only but well filmed.

Continental sportcontact are great, will still work dry too.

Looks much better. Surely just raise the steering wheel on the adjustment lever and you’ll negate the issue you’re having.

Plush vids. He’s got quite a sense of humour, I used to help him when he was younger and we had fun doing it. He writes scripts and used to add effects to his story vids etc. The big vids are unboxing though, I know one of his vids went over a million last year. Look at the viewer...

My 13yr old son has a little YT channel he’s been doing since he was 11yrs old. Took a while to get to monetised level and he’s only got 5,500 subs but he seems to get a bit of pocket money out of it. Got £80 last month.

Me too

Mine owed me £6500 IIRC. Had circa 15k miles and was mint.

I’ve had a lot of cars and my V6 was up there in one of the most memorable stakes. They used to get slated on here when I had mine (“mY 182 DoEs 0-60 ThE sAmE”) Was a total surprise for me as I took it in px for an Evo 6 RSX, a V6 wasn’t ever on the radar but the deal was too good. Loved it...

Good stuff. Really must do mine under there. Bike box! Never seen one, interesting bit of kit.

Got a pick of my Milwaukee against my mates snap on 3/8”, snap on is a lot better size and seems to be faster. Looks similar size to the 1/4” Milwaukee with an even sleeker neck. Shame they’re so bloody dear.

Where did you get the anvil, states?
