Hi all I have blanked off the breather on the oil breather plate as pictured below as this is a phase 1 172 breather plate which Ihave fitted to my phase 1 172 head on my 182, can someone tell me where this is suppoed be piped up too on a phase 1 172, many thanks

Oh right ideal, how about throttle body/throttle position sensor? Thanks Dan

Thanks guys, I have replaced the gasket, but I'm guessing the plenum isn't fitting flush to the oil breather plate! Can the idle control valve not be swapped between inlet plenums? Thanks

Yes I replaced the rocker plate breather too, what differences are there between the phase 1 172 inlet plenum to the phase 2? Would all the sensors snd plugs be the same? Thanks Dan

I have fitted a 172 head on my 182 block, by any chance are the inlet plenums different?

I have changed the complete head due to cambelt failure, I have had the inlet plenum off to do this! I will double check that this is fitted correctly but I have had it off and on a few times to make sure I have not done something silly, how about throttle position sensor? Thanks Dan

Hi all, I have recently changed the head on my 182 and since I have done it everytime I start the car it revs up to flat out! I have made sure that all sensors are plugged in etc! Any ideas please? Thanks Dan

hi all, I have just fitted a phase 1 172 head to my 182 and I was told that the oil breather plate on the rocker cover was different to my 182! I am in the process of fitting it and my 182 breather is loads different! Any ideas please? Thanks

Spot on thanks for your help

Yes I was going to remove fog lights for a bit more air flow! I have done the nurburgring and combe before with previous cars so have an good idea of what to expect regarding brake fluid boiling etc, I will prob be looking to upgrade my brakes soon, any ideas? Cheers

Thanks guys, I'll leave it as she is then! It's in fairly standard form, it does have rs tuner, standard brakes at the mo which so hopefully they will be ok!

Hi all, I have recently bought my 182 and have booked up for a track day this coming Wednesday, I have been over the car and carried out a full service, replaced brake fluid, and had my wheel alignment set up but I was wondering if any of you guys have had any issues with engine cooling on the...

Hi all, I'm a newbie here and recently bought my 182, I am in the process of changing my near side drive shaft inner gaiter due to a gearbox oil leak, I stipped it apart today but the gaiter that I bought from Renault does not fit, the bearing that runs on the shaft is too small to fit to my...
