Never mind gang.............found a dealership out in the country side would would actually sell me the tools........you know, for money.
FYI, 150 quid.

Hey bud, yeah.....seems the prices are slightly up......looks like ~150 for the set.
Just staggered at my local dealerships point blank refusing to sell so I am reduced to sourcing from the mainland. I am NI
Thanks

Thanks for trying Bearne, but as Tonk said.......genuine tools are paramount on these cars.
Mine was done by a generally amazing mechanic......but the timing is out a hairs breadth. No genuine tools simply cannot take the forces required to tighten and loosen the cam pulleys.....and on these...
Well, when i bought my 172 over on the mainland, I had a hefty journey ahead of me (Stevenage > Stranraer in 7 hours inc rush hour :( )
So i bobbed into a Shell and brimmed it with the VPower stuff.
The car was smooth, powerful and revved like a nut box to the limiter
Since I have been home...
Hey,
This is pretty urgent.
I am trying to buy a gearbox for my wee Clio 172 (2003).
I cannot work out what the code is, i know its a JC-129 or JC-130 and the difference is something ot with teh speedo.
Can someone look at the below picture and tell me for sure what box i have...
Will this make a 2003 172 FF wipers intermittent wipe adjustable rather than depend on the pish sensor?
Also, does it have the obc button on it etc?
If so to both....me take take take dibs etc etc
*Just to clarify, i HAVE a variable stalk as part of the FF spec, buts that adjusts the...
It is the pump mate......tested the output at the pump and its comes on for a second when the jets are held.....but no action from teh pump.
Looks like a right wanker to change too.....wiper mech off/ bottle out etc.
Anyway....at least I know.

I tell you this though Matt....the MOT boys in Lisburn will fail you for headlight washers not working......
They scrutinously tested the BMW ones and made sure they both worked.
So I do need to get them sorted.
So right.....they dont squirt......so the likely cause will be the pump? Yeah?
Jj
Hey chap.....does this display info on the display or anything like that?
Does this use the cd changer input or anything else? I already have a changer and wouldnt like to lose it.
How does it work in use?
Regards
And
So yeah, im having this same problem too.....
My car had the wee washer nozzles missing when i bought the car so I bought a new set. Havent fitted them yet though.
But yesterday, i asked wifey to squirt the washers for a loooooooooooooooooooooooong time with the headlights on and there wasnt...
Nah mate, the oil is coming THROUGH this plug.
I remember stuff like this working on old fiestas and the like where the switch would leak.
No oil has been spilt here, EVERYTHING is bone dry around it.
No electrical problems at all, just dont like things like this hanging around.
And is it normal for this to leak oil inside it?
Any ideas on cost for that?
Also, I noted a wee plug on the aalternator that has a wired running out of it but also appears to have a stub of a green wire, almost like its been cut off
Can anyone else confirm if theirs is like this and if...
Hey,
Thanks for the update.
The notion of a second hand box doesnt excite me tbh....id near rather put a bit of time in to make sure mine's ok.
Better the devil you know sometimes.....the car is a relatively low mile example 48K car and every gear is sweet apart from super high speed 2nd gear...
I appreciate that this is a Trophy board and most of you guys got that funky Sachs stuff going on.
Just bought a 172 last week and loving it, apart from the mech gremlins.
Gearbox 2nd gear synchro issue, t/belts etc
Anyway.....
Under hard acceleration, say from 2nd to 3rd, i hear something...
