take a look at these pics of my 172 engine mount.
do they all go like this? i thought just the top rubber bit had broken off not half the mount!

also took a peak at my cam belt?
can you tell the difference between one that has done 80k or 5k? if the w=writing is still on etc?
 
that mount is a long way beyond fucked! lol

and no, they dont all go like that unless they're ignored for 80k ;)

no cracks or splits in the belt. looks pretty supple still not dry like you expect from one that had been on nearly six years.
all the writing still on aswell?

been done for around 3k which is still bad!
it broke one of the rubber bits off so i just jammed some more rubber down the back and thought jobs a good en!
then today was sat doing my uni work and thought i will do the oil and filter change on it as bought the filter a month ago!
decided to take the mount off and go get one and it came off in two half!!!! should be better to drive when back on the road 2morrow!
 
Belt should be changed at 5yrs so I'd get it done ASAP.
Thats rubber bit is a seperate Renault part you cna just go buy a new one when you stick it back in copper grease it up (or similar) and then best crush the engine mount around the rubber a bit to help reduce the knocking. It doesn't lok to bad I've seen year old car wosre than that.

the people i bought the car from (it is 1 owner prior to me) had it serviced by renault every year or so they said. history only goes to 3 years ago when they said the garage changed which when i called the ren dealer they were telling the truth. they said they have all the service history but it was lost in a company move? belonged to the owners son who worked for company. therfore they said it was done at last service which i dont have the receipt for???
therfore i dont know for sure if it has been done or not. had a look at it first time today and it looks pretty fresh but????????
