The sensor needs calibrating to the car once it has been zeroed in installation.

A totally standard valver in good condition might fetch that, but modified models don't have the market anymore.

I've found that Renault parts direct offer the best price on this, seeing as it's for a car I've sold I don't want the come back from poor quality parts. Thanks for all the options you guys have put forward. Matt

Thanks for the info, I'll look in to these options.

Im after a front wheel bearing for a 172 cup. Euro car parts want £55+vat! Renault parts direct want £45 inc vat. I think this is a bit on the pricey side tbh. Has anyone found a cheaper place?

Idle control valve may want cleaning?

We have a box in leicester if you need 1?

If your passing leicester I'll get you an mot on it!

Do you have the missing piece? Could get it welded back on and have the thread heli-coiled.

White spirit is good for removing the glue left from the tints.

I stand corrected. But everything bolts to the mk1 subframe from the 172.

You can use everything from a phase 1 172, subframe, brakes ect... Even using the whole wiring from the 172, just change the wiring plugs on the lights to suit the mk1. No need to get the immobiliser removed from the ecu then.

Are your hubs bent? Has the car been smashed in to a kerb, this can cause this?

My mate had his r32 stolen. The keys were in his jeans pocket at the bottom of the bed, whilst he was asleep! If they want the car they will take it at any exspence. If a car means that much to you, get a tracker installed, it's money well spent if the worst happens.
