If you order from him I believe it includes the belt for the setup pictured. To retain the bottom idler I used Dayco 202779325 (5PK1212). I did have to remove the idler, fit the belt, then refit the idler as I couldn't get enough stretch I built my kit so big disclaimer: that size may not...

Fair enough, SKF kit is 1660 for reference if it's any use in future I didn't use a pulley delete kit but went for Lambert's style while maintaining the small bottom idler pulley Not that it helps you right now... but it's an option

What's the belt size?

Personally I wouldn't disconnect the battery but there is no harm in being safe rather than sorry!

It's the top-most pins on this central connector, where the purple and black wires would be plugged in. From the back it's these two pins. If your multimeter probes are thin enough, you may be able to push them into the connector to save unplugging

Very true I have heard they can be a bit loud 🙉 I think you are right to be fussy, definitely get what you want - it seems like a crap shoot aftermarket exhaust noises. My 172 has 182 style dual exits so I will be the last person to say you can't cut the bumper. Double walled exhaust tips ftw 🤌

Exhaust does look a little like a bollock hanging out of speedos... What about a stealth box? https://cp-performance.co.uk/product/cp-performance-renaultsport-clio-172-piper-stealth-stainless-steel-exhaust-system/

Non-sports are missing the holes for the lower gearbox mount. I can't speak for the dimensions

Or from RPD, bit cheaper: https://renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/steering-suspension/renault-clio-172-front-shock-absorber-mk1/ *Edit: Available but on back order

There is no complete write up on integrating EPAS into a 1*2. As more and more PAS pumps die alternative options will keep these cars on the road. Furthermore there are lots of gripes with third party controllers as they ultimately don't replicate the correct torque maps for the speed you are...

I have the answer 😉 Will write up tomorrow and tag you

Just wired my EPAS up OEM and it works well imo. Will stick a write up of the wiring on the forum soon as there is no concise thread on the full working solution.

The CC signal triggers are just an amount of resistance. I would start by getting the airbag/wheel out first and checking the buttons for continuity and resistance. Alternatively you should be able to monitor the puple/back top-most pins center connector behind the wheel. Clear = 0 ohm Resume =...
