Ah lovely thanks. Anyone else with an opinion?

An inch? But the difference is only .25 of an inch!!!! So we think I'll be ok to buy it?

If thats the case then how does a 2.5" fit?? If my longlife is 2.25" I have no problem, but if it's not I'll be wasting a lot of money!! What's the standard system??

As title really, i've currently got a longlife stainless system with ktec decat, which I guess will be 2.5"?? But I am totally unsure of this tbh. Now I've been offered a really nice powerflow stealth, but it's 2.25" so am I going to have problems fitting it? Or will it go on somehow? (I...

You can buy the tools I think? But they're not cheap, around £120 or I've heard. Someone on here may have a set for sale/to lend you. Post a thread up in the wanted section and see what comes up. As for the tea, I don't do hot drinks, so I disappoint on that front I'm afraid. ;)

Re: The story of a high mileage 172 I'm intruiged....

Renault or Gates as said, by the sound of you're PM you won't struggle, but you do need specialist Renault locking tools to do the job yourself. If you'd like a hand/like to let me watch and learn give me a shout. :)

Quite a few Essex/Kent meets mate, quite a good bunch of people around here. Depending upon what you want, (i.e good value, or top performance) there are a lot of coilovers available. Vmax being an example of budge and KW v2's being an example of top performance. Adjustable are the way forward...

Interesting, cheers. :)

What it is that suprises me is how many forum members haven't got it done. My newish ph1 was owned before me by 2 forum members, one of them owned it twice and is massively active *cough*Mr Cole*cough* and the other spent a fortune modding it, but neither ever had the recall done, brand new...

As true as this is, the amount I would have had to spend at Renault on having the car done in there, I could have bought it twice maybe three times over anyways.... Hope you get it sorted Leah.

Sorry I'm talking drivers side, (I must confess I cannot remember n/s & o/s) they said something about the shaft having to come apart to put the boot on as they are plastic so can't stretch around?!? Meaning the amount of labour etc would mean its easier to just change the shaft?

I'll have a good look for it tmrw, but tbh, it was tiny, like properly tiny, as in the size of a snapped pencil lead or something so it won't be easy to see. I realise it could kill the belt, but that would mean it having to first get down there, then stick somewhere upright and pointy, as...

If you do this, care to take some pics and write a mini guide? I've been told by a garage its so much effort to do, its better to just fit another shaft.... Assuming you are talking about drivers side that is...

That one is brilliant, shame she's sitting on a POS! lol!

Right: Skoda Fabia 2007 onwards. Part Number: 5J7 807 061 (9B9) The last three digits of that part no. are a colour code that most dealers won't need. Would you like me to phone them and pay for it for you aswell? ;)

Picked it up. You not got a local Skoda? If you have just call and ask., if they've got one in they'll hold it, if not they'll order one. (Takes about 3 days)

£10.41 I paid for mine :)

But if (god forbid) that drillbit is a bit stuck, could I work it back and forth a bit to get it to bugger off? lol! Is this TINY bit of drillbit going to kill my engine if it's gone in there!?

Very nice indeed, such fun little track toys these. Like the white wheels.

Buy one and I'll fit it at FCS for you :)

D?

Car's already up on stands so can do it that way I suppose. Shall do it tmrw before fitting the belt cover back on. Oh and Jord, why clockwise? (being stupid but I'm interested) Cheers all.

Around £150 new iirc, and they're not hard to fit, at all. Not a bank buster and definately something to consider when you get a bit of spare money :)

Eibach sportline lowering springs. Lower it a bit, enough to make it look better, aren't crashy at all (imo) and will improve the handling.

Srs? Sack that, thought it may be easy, but alas.# I'll just start it and see, lol! I'm 99% sure it didn't go down there tbh.

Crank pulley? (I'm not infront of the car can't look just yet) lol!

The lego games are quite good for wasting time! Why downtime? Though you'd be busy as hell with it being ski season?

So it does move then yes? The question wasn't so much "by hand" more, as can it be done without firing the engine. Cheers. :)

I thank ye, sounds a nice way to start a day.
