Well my lock up got broken into last night and the cnuts nicked everything. I had 4 impact wrenches, grinders, lights, tool kits. Everything gone and to top it off they even nicked my 1series that i had fixed that day ready to put back on the road. So to make myself feel better iv decided to...

Droplinks can also be a pain so for the price worth changing at the same time

Had a customers car today which apparently had leaked oil on his drive, went round and recovered it to my garage. Turns out it was gearbox oil. Proper job done on it Sent from my SNE-LX1 using Tapatalk

Not my car but recently bought a recovery truck to aid with getting customers cars to and from my garage when needed, had to change the passenger side wheel bearing and it literally fell apart. Glad i didnt have to go anywhere far Sent from my SNE-LX1 using Tapatalk

On the back of the subframe there are holes for a deep socket to get onto the head of the bolt that goes through that clamped nut. Sent from my SNE-LX1 using Tapatalk

They did a 306 sub frame and a couple of Strut braces for me few years back before they had the new unit, cost was about £70

After fitting the steering rack bushes i noticed the tie rod covers were very perished so assuming theyve never been changed i ordered 2 new tie rods with covers from RPD and fantastic service as usual. Iv also got to fit the flywheel from my original engine so obviously bought some bew...

Iv got a black one thats my track hack. Sent from my SNE-LX1 using Tapatalk

Agreed the quality is excellent considering the price im very impressed

Another piece of the puzzle today. Mtc motorsport hoses Sent from my SNE-LX1 using Tapatalk

Had a quick half hour earlier so removed the old wiring loom from the original engine and also the gearbox to be greeted with not much of a release bearing and a pretty smooth friction plate lol. I also swapped out the old steering rack bushes for some black series powerflex. Im going to...

Finally an update. Rather than spend money on the engine i bought another with all the work already done as it cost a hell of a lot less, i was also given the PMS A/C delete bracket which again saved me a few quid. Thanks @AdamCup Next up iv also bout an MTC silicone hose kit and a decat...

Also says on page 1 that it was a 1.9 with an extra cylinder and that he has had to jam the swirl flaps open hence why i thought it maybe of use. (y)

Not the best video in the world but shows you what i mean

Nice motor. If this is the same engine as the 1.9 cdti in the astra then you dont need to remove the cambelt to do the swirl flaps ;) I had a customer with the 1.9 and if you pin the fuel pump (with the bolts taken out of the fuelpump) it holds it all in place and you can remove the inlet...

Maybe a duff part? Sent from my SNE-LX1 using Tapatalk

Was the slave cylinder replaced aswell as i had an astra in that would just about drive and rattled it knackers off until clutch was pressed. The spring had snapped on the slave cylinder causing the rattle so replaced it all for good measure.

sounds like release bearing to me, especially when the noise disappears with the clutch pressed. Was it a brand new clutch kit with release bearing?

Surprisingly not to bad altho did sound like a bag of nails, which is why im refreshing it all Sent from my SNE-LX1 using Tapatalk

Finally found an hour of time to do some more on the 172. Timing belt, tensioner and pulleys look pretty new but the timing is out so im assuming non gen tools were used. This isnt an issue as i have bought the tools and also going to buy a new cambelt and dephaser kit and redo everything...
