  1. Looks plug and play to me... I don't think you could make it any easier.
  2. Even if the crankshaft end float was their cause, and failure occurred after 55km, wouldn't the technician (maybe I'm being too kind here) have picked it up when installing the belt? I've driven a knocking f4r about 100km which literally rattled the crank pulley off the engine (a few threads holding it 'on' and had no belt failure. I think you may be getting the run around...
  3. Aahahahahahaha I'd rock this bad boy, MS Paint is god
  4. A mix of HW sign writing and comic sans.
  5. The year is the confusion I'd say. My 172 is the same year as yours (2004) but that's compliance date. My actual build date is 2002.
  6. As promised, Out with the old... In with the new!
  7. Legend! Mine is way overdue, falling off and all 😢
  8. Okay so if the crank sensor goes bad the car wont start lol. The blue one is just an updated sensor/loom. A new generic will be fine. any clue when they were done?
  9. I just clean the switches and reseat them if they stuff up. French tings. If you haven't already, check the crank sensor. A blue one will show it's an updated part. Also, have any belts ever been done to your knowledge?
  10. My girlfriend bought a brand new 2014 fiesta with the powershift transmission, as her first car. That thing was deadly. Needless to say it got traded in for a Mazda 2 the next year due to the nervousness in roundabouts and traffic. Woulda lead to a smash. Ford wanted nothing to do with it and thought a simple reflash would fix it. Only had 12000km on it too.
  11. And pedobear tops it off lol. Where are you in melbs?
  12. Awesome roads around there.... my had fun with my 172 around there
  13. I want a personal fred lol to do all my RS fixing
  14. I'd do it as long as my car is every picture in there Sent from my XT1572 using Tapatalk
  15. What an absolute wanker. Glad you got your cash back. Bet the prick didn't even change the oil. Just took $129 of your money. Top tip. Get some filters from Renault, some penrite hpr5 5w40 oil when on special at your local parts store and be done with it... oh and the square fill plug socket. Bet he saw that, didn't have it so didn't change it. Sent from my XT1572 using Tapatalk
  16. A bit worrying as my car last had its belts done by Paul in 2015 (the engine anyway). And all pump etc. I'm gonna do the whole thing again next year, a year early... Cos why not Sent from my XT1572 using Tapatalk
  17. Jeez people can be cruel... I am sure you'd be happy with a clio. Not as involved due to the lack of a manual but I am sure it'll be good. I have been in a 200edc and it rides lovely.

    Oil leak.

    Its a seal mate, pretty sure of it anyway. I suspected I had a driveshaft end seal leak on my 172 when I got it. I bought the seal but it didnt need doing when we had the engine out. So it wasnt done.... Don't worry too much, you own a jeep so you know how leaking feels already (my xj cherokee leaks everything and anything....)
