no, but got one at work, cheers Mick

can you remove the bearing and replace it then?

Noticed that my front o/s wheel had a lot of play in it. On inspection i found that the threads on the drive shaft were knackered, and the nut would just spin rather than tighten. Bought a new drive shaft and nut and just fitted, got the nut nice and tight, but there's still play there. Is...

So are the aux belts different from 172 to cup? Cheers for the help fellas

Just realised that im talking rubbish here. The cam belt will be ok but will the aux belt? The aux belt snapped and made the timing belt jump. Bent all the valves and knackered a cam. £1500 to fix, so i got another engine.

Just bought a 172 engine as my cup engine belt up. The new engine has just had new belts and pulleys fitted which is a bonus, or so i thought. Are the belts the same with the 172 engine having the air con unit on? I was going to whip this off and bin it, but if that means i'll need a new belt is...

what other cars have the same rear calipers as the 172 cup? N/S has seized up and needs replacing. My local salvage spot have a 2005 DCi in, do these even have rear disks, if so are they the same? Cheers :D

they were there above plugs. Just for anyone searching this problem in the future, the problem was the ht leads.

Its a 172 cup. I just got back from fitting new ht leads which seemed to cure the problem for about 10 minutes. The car drove fine, no hesitation or misfire. I gave it some beans down the bypass and when i pulled up at the lights the idle was lumpy as hell and it was popping and farting...

Bought a coil pack, NGK plugs and some HT leads off a guy on pistonheads. Plugs and coil pack seem ok but i can't seem to get the ht leads on the spark plugs. The HT leads seem a bit rubbery and floppy compared to the ones i have on at the moment, and its as if they're flexing when i try to plug...

Have a similar problem with mine so took it to Renault this morning for a diagnostic check. Computer came up with nothing so i took the mechanic out for a spin and he agreed that there was a definate misfire. £67 lighter and no nearer sorting the problem. Just something for you to consider...

Replaced plugs and coil and still have this misfire problem. Did have some spare leads to try too, but they wouldn't fit for some reason. Looked exactly the same as the ones on the clio, but just ouldn't go on, anyone else had this?... ..but back to the misfire. Had on a machine a few weeks...

Bit of a long shot but... I just forked out £63 for some plugs for the missus' 172 cup and it hasn't sorted the problem. Been having problems on and off for a month now and i don't want to fork out on a new coilpack if its not that. Near skipton by the way :D

yeah thats gotta be worth a look i think. It seems to get a bit better everytime i go out in it. Will check the plugs again though.

Just took it to local garage and the reckon it feels like its not getting enough fuel, rather than a spark problem. Any ideas fellas?
