So I went to get the tracking done today, and it couldn't be done due to the track rod end and ball joint needing replaced. Was going to have a bash at them myself, sadly I only have a four poster ramp and I've heard a lot of 'brute' force is required to get the pin out with the ball joint...
Yeah weird, definitely was one there though, as the metal underneath is 'shiny'.
Nice one Andy, appreciated. Shall have a look tomorrow, need to pop to Renault anyway as the fuel rail cover mounts sheared too!
I paid £400 for belt, water pump and dephaser last time. For £400 it's hardly worth messing about with, going to cost a lot more than that if the engine goes pop.
Stupid question possibly, but how do I measure them (obviously with a multi meter) but does the car need to be started? Does the fuel rail need to be back on?
Pretty confident, replaced plugs, leads, had a service etc. Only other thing it could be would be a sensor, but then that'd be above my head and would most likely need to go to a garage...
Coil Pack was also changed.
So the 182 is running lumpy as hell, has been for a while. Plugged it into the code reader and showing a cyclinder four fault. Is it as easy as taking off the fuel rail, taking out injectors 1+4 swapping them over. Grease up Orings, replace fuel rail and then check the code reader again?
Thanks,
