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.

Yeah, I was thinking around that kid of price? Only 1 way to find out.......

I'll get on to them this week then, see what I can find out? Any idea how much a service book costs?

Your service book isn't from my cup is it lol?! What are the chances........

I'll have to see if I can track down the original dealership? Will my local dealership be able to tell me that?

Does anyone know if Renault would have a record of the services carried out by themselves in the early days of the cars life? If so, is this possible to obtain a print out?

There is only the odd receipt, in the wallet. I carried out a major service in 2013, belts and clutch, water pump, all fluids changed etc.... All receipts for the parts are present for this.

I've recently bought a 172 cup from a mate, ive serviced this car since 2010 for him. There is no service book, to back up any of the previous maintenance. The car has covered 88k and is in good running order. My question is, would this put off potential buyers for the future sale? Even though I...

Standard top mounts do move with the steering.

Try changing the pollen filter?

The cup belongs to Russ, he was on a mad 1 that night lol. I've got a liquid yellow 182, just been taken off the road for winter now. I've got a few sets of mk1 clio alloys I'm putting up for sale (15") if there what your looking for? Plus we break clios if you need any spares?;) Matt

Hi Paz, Think we met briefly on soar valley way last week(the 2 lads in the 172cup)? What sort of winter wheels are you looking for? Matt

Maybe it would be worth looking for a new engine? There cheap enough if you feel yours is over worked? as for oil pressure dropping when hot that's normal, as the oil thins out. Maybe try a thicker garage oil for the summer use. are you running a cat, as this could be blocking up and causing a...

Sounds like the immobiliser isn't coming off, have you tried leaving the ignition on for a minute so the key can register with the decoder ring. Then try starting it?

Have had a look at a Megane 225 this evening witch wont start. The problems started when the car went in to limp mode. It was then taken to a supposed Renault specialist, who diagnosed the fault to be the throttle body. This then opened a can of worms, with the throttle body replaced it bought...

The car starts fine and even drives for a little while. When its revved above 4k the warning light which looks like a box with a squiggle through it illuminates. the car then wont rev over 3k and stalls when coming to idle. When started up again ticks over at 3k! We had the diagnostic plugged...
