Hello guys,
Yesterday a tapping developed from the top left hand side of the engine, at the end of a fair lengthly track day (oops, but the clio was flying...!)
It started a s small tap, on the top left, so I stopped driving, checked oil, and inspected it the best I could, it only tapped as you...
Took a delivery of Federal 595 RSR's today for fitting, looking forward to getting one more (hopefully dry) track day in next month at Brands or Bedford.
Funny enough I thought of this thread today, flat tire on the BMW, so used my caged/stripped clio for the daily commute out to client...

Anyone diagnosed a...
I'll put some detailed pics up later but here she is stripped and seats in place, I need to get them back out to fit harnesses that I've ordered. I found some really useful guides on here on how to best fit them.

I recently bought this tidy little 172 as a track toy, only to find out it has quite a history on the forum, which was nice to see and helps me out with some of the details should I ever need them like which paint code of white it is.... lol
