is your oil cooler oil/water?

still a steel pipe as far as i'm aware, the only flex on the rear is as i said between body & axle on the n/s. unless the 182 is different, never looked underneath one yet.

just as bad! went to work at 6am. had to go to lower brailes (nr. shipston on stour) and fit an injector pump to a bus parked in a field! went home bout 12.30 had a coffee then went and fell out with my clio's decat. that was a wanker then driving it out, the garage door blew shut on the car...

eeerm.. the rear brake hose is between the body & axle. the one to the caliper is a pipe. ie. solid

yup, just took 'em off and had a look might just elongate the top hole and a set of camber correcting bolts would make up for any hand wobbles cheers edde :)

cool, cheers buddy, why has the one the stig's driving got a shopping list down the door?? :S

anyone got a link for that?

i'm sticking with a faulty thermostat or a blockage/airlock in the system. you could try taking out the heater matrix and seeing if its blocked or damaged

i take it you mean thermostat, its still worth taking it out and checking its closed when its cold. also did the system get bled properly, do the top & bottom pipes on the rad get nice & hot. also do the pipes into and out of the heater matrix get hot?

probably a faulty thermostat, stuck open so the engine never really gets up to temperature

i know the 172 ph1 & 182 are different. the ph1 i think is 52mm and the 182 is 56mm. bolt spaceing. but thats as much as i know. i've just asked a similar question too :o

would the front struts off my ph1 172 fit eka's 2003 1.2 dynamique?? its quicker to ask than look at it LOL :) anyone know? cheers in advance :)

it could be a tensioner or pulley bearing i once had a tapping noise caused by a mnufacturing imperfection with a new aux belt!

i'll beat him i'll just add a 4+4 and add a turbocharged super kit :clown: LOL

haynes rating: 2 spanners & 10 skinned knuckles lol

replace cable

if its not had an oil change for a while, give it one, they all tend to use more oil when the oil is old and fucked

sounds like you want a new box the noise you heard was it eating itself

^ to be fair thats about the best for a 172 ph1. the standard airbox is pretty good its just the standard feeds that are crap

luvvin the ph1's :approve: especially the black ones, fastest & pure sex to look at ;)

or a demister pipe fallen off behind dash, or wiring or......you get the idea

anything is possible!

i use stretch boots (gaiters) these days. much easier, cut of the old one and fit the new one with a cone type thing or air expander and plenty of grease, the cheapo cone type fitters are only about a tennner

i think the section under the cable forms an upper top cover itself, and should allow you to see the top of the camshaft pulley & the belt

support engine whip off mount at the bottom of the pic. then take off cover thats behind the mount

shared use of a unit. i am a truck fitter officially but i am doing more & more cars at my unit at the moment. i'm getting more & more tempted to do it full time & kick the other bloke out of the unit

i would charge between £500-£800 to do the job with a warranty

just take the cover off dude. if you see bits of shredded belt or mucho destruction, thats that!

me too !

it may not have been actually runnning, just freewheeling untill you stopped, you would'nt have heared anything on that engine if the belt failed it would have just bent a few valves out of the way and probably n ot by much either. the starter motor sound different 'cos there is no compression...
