ive got a 53plate 172 with hardly any miles on it so im abit puzzled as to why this is happening. when i hit a little bump when ive turned the steering it nocks on the drivers side. and when i put it on full lock going forwards and backwards it nocks aswell. i assume its the cv joint. wot does...
after giveing my 172 a pasting round roundabouts ive come to the conclusion that it does handle aswell as id like it to so i thought id go for the cheapest option and thought id just slam it on springs while i save for coilovers. wots the best cheap 1s to get and is it easy to fit them. i aint...
thats seriously cheaper than wot i got quoted. just over 1100 for the cambelt, aux belt and a service. cheeky wnkers wanted 90 for a collant change. where are you from i might come to that gaarage to get it done
nah it aint that bad. i'll check the plugs and the air flow meter and i'll have a think about other things, if any1 thinks of anything else i'll ive it a go. thanks for the help so far. much appreciated
right. i no im due a service but surely it shouldnt sound like a tractor. it abit lumpy on idle and sounds really rough wen cold. has any1 got any ideas wot it could be. or is it just over due a service. any advice much appreciated.
thanks

mine 1700. the missus is first driver(recently had a smash and 21 with 0ncb) my mum is second and im the third(19) and thats with diamond. thats the only way i could insure the car, theres always a way round things
where are rentech.im near gatwick airport and i need mine done along with a service. renault quoted me £700 for the cambelt and service was about 400 notes. cheeeky b******s want 90 for a coolant change. how bout that for a piss take
i'm doing the pads today as i no they've had it. it knocks slightly on full lock right so i assume thats cv joint.
i dont no much about cars so can some1 explain wot the cv joint is. is it part of the drive shaft or sumin.
thanks for all the help so far
ive had the car for less than a week and im gonna have to spend money on it already. its a 172 by the way. the prob is when i go round coners, doesnt have to be fast i get a slight grinding noise. you can feel it more than hearing it. i fact you cant hear it at all really. some times it happens...
im going to slam my 172 and im prob gonna get coilovers so i was wondering how its done. ive noticed when i look threw the back wheel theres a spring thats not on the the shocks. is this the torsoin bar or sumin and should it be uprated aswell. and if its not really a job for an amature is there...
picked up my 172 today and its in real good nick part from the exhaust so in thinking bout putting on a stainles 1 but i dont want anything to loud and im gonna get it serviced and prob gonna get cam belt done so wont have much money left. any1 no any thing thats not to pricey but is decent and...
hi every1, im new here and looking to buy in to the world of the 172 and ive heard the gearbox is pretty week so i thought id get an uprated 1 but where would i find 1 and how much would it set me back and the other thing is i'd obviously uprate the clutch aswell so can any1 advise a good 1...
thank you. ive done it now and i am officially a paying member.(once i actually get 1 that is.lol) im going to look at a black 172 with 24k on it for 6150. wot does every1 think i should ask for it
