the 3/8 (not 8mm) keyway works fine as long as the tool is a tight fit in the hole, is slotted in squarely, and the tensioner isn't seized
wouldn't dream of getting the renault tool for it though
slacken the alternator off, take the top bolt out of it and let it drop forwards, might just give you enough
you should be using a short 3/8 extension, not 1/4
firstly you almost always have to adjust ring gaps. They are rarely if ever, correct out of the packet.
Secondly, it's important that the gaps on the 1st and 2nd rings are different, I normally work with a 0.002" larger gap on the 2nd ring
with regular servicing they're fine. If it was close to 100k I'd say do it, otherwise, if it's quiet then it's just wasting money. I'll happily change one for a nominal cost if it gets noisy within 6 months after doing a belt change.
I must be making too small a margin........
your CV boot has come off/split
Quite easily going to cause this issue if the grease has all gone and the joint has run dry. New driveshaft is the most likely solution

Adding to a car gradually can be far more enjoyable. I personally love to modify...
well if you bring a 182 cat over I can weld a 2.5 inch outlet on that too. I'm putting a 182 manifold on my 172, so i'll happily accept your old cat thats cracked so i can cut the front flange off it to make a link pipe with, if it's going spare
Re: 182 manifold and decat fitted to the ph1, now a few running issues, ideas welcome
lambda sensors dislike being removed and refitted. very common time for them to give up the ghost
Not quite sure yet, prob about £150. It's one of these http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2777&appid=1
had it on the car almost exactly 2 years, and it's still in great condition
compared my desire to my cousins new sensation and the screen is SO much bigger, but the phone overall doesn't seem much bigger at all. I could definitely live with it. infact.....WANT
had the conversation with a few people in the past and so far I've not found anyone that's done it. If you find one that works then you'll be a bit of a trail blazer
years ago, probably wouldn't have bothered. Now, Insurance is so reluctant to pay out they will do you over for the smallest thing.
Good policies will often allow a 5-10% power increase before it costs extra anyway
