Does anyone know the part number for a phase 2 172 ignition barrel? The spring has gone in mine and want to replace it with an original to match my keys etc. I've been to renault and they couldn't find it in the "new" catalogue?

I've also had a few scooby's in the past, started with an early wrx import, P1 and forester sti. My P1:

Saw you yesterday and this morning, I'm up this way on a training course in my silver 172 :D

Christ I should've sold the set I got from my local breakers as they only wanted £2 for them, I couldn't stop laughing when I got back to my car :cry:

Micra :cry: although I've heard that before. It's a daihatsu avanzato r4, r4 meaning its 4x4. engine's just under 660cc and turbo'd as standard. I haven't made any engine mods yet, however I've just had GAZ coilovers and the comps made for it as its quite a rare car. Only pic I have at...

No plans for mods at the moment, just give it a full service initially. Might get some cup / trophy speedlines in the future and a set of eibachs.

My Original plan was to get a 172 cup, however after viewing a couple in my local area which were complete dogs I found a clean and standard ph2 172 not far from me for sale. There's a few common issues to sort, but I'm enjoying my latest purchase: Someone may recognise the car as it...

Hello - I recently joined the site as I'm currently looking for a 172 preferably a cup version and thought one of the best places to look would be the forum. :D
