I'm selling my 172cup as it is
Needs some engine or dephaser work but I don't have the time to get it done as it's my 3rd car
It has a cool aftermarket momo that I wish to keep
I need a stock rs wheel
Will the 182 wheel with cruise control work as a replacement?
Someone told me the CC ones...
I'm near ilford, Essex
Just out of paranoia , does anyone know of issues with dropped valves on these f4r engines?
Would an engine management light come on
Thanks for info guys
I've just seen another video on you tube
Mine is sounding the same

Sounds something more serious than dephaser
Im at work today but a local mechanic had a quick look and thinks the cam shafts has problems and also requires tappets
What are the symptoms of cam shaft problems?
What's the Main reasons an engine blows up, lack of oil?
I always check oil at least once a week and there has been no change...
Hello guys
Just took a quick video clip on my phone and the noise seems to be coming to the left of the oil filler cap

There is one visibly pulley to the far left, near the front
Ive checked this and it is tight and not damaged in any way
I don't know if that is the dephaser tho
All belts were done less than 5k ago
Also, as soon as the rattle developed, the car went Into a stall
The red battery light came on...
While im driving it sounds like it's near the air box but low down
But with the bonnet up and someone revving, it sounds like on the drivers side to the left of the engine, close to the mount
I was driving down an B road quite fast and then I noticed a rattle, didn't think anything of it at the time but I think something may of snapped or broken off
Everytime I rev over 2-2. K rpm I can hear a distinctive rattle
It's gerrting me worried so I drove back like a mini cab driver- 35mph...
How much of a Differnce do various mods make
Mine has a v6 box, 182 type exhaust , coil overs , strut braces and a some sort of remap from previous owner and runs rich - a lot of soot near the exhaust
Seems quick to me, and i have owned stock 172cup too
What other mods that are people on...
I'm sorry to hear that, id it was the same four lads, I'm sure they been doing it to everyone and crying for compensation
Scum like this is what really p's me off
Ive a tatty polo undertake me and he took off my wing mirror. A wing mirror is a minor thing so I was willing to let it go!
6 weeks...
Thanks guys one more thing
Im looking to buy a new wrench but can't remember ..
I think it's a 1/2 wrench ?
Other common size is 3/8 but i don't think its that
Mine used to be the same
I just have to boot it to redline for a sec I. Second or third
I see some black smoke and then it runs fine for about 5 full tanks of fuel
But something is definafly clogged up
Recently while drive at really low speeds , ie when trying to park or coming to stop at a junction , the engine cuts out as if I have stalled the car
This happens when I have the clutch pressed down and the is no juddering like when we all stalled a car while leaning to drive
Also the red stop...
