Sometimes with these things you just have to "pay what you owe" as the saying goes.
RUK part works perfectly (and lasts) or you can buy a complete used rear hub and swap that over (as the sensors never come out intact)
With me Martin that would be a Config charge which is £25+VAT (same charge as reconfiguring SRS modules and EPB's)
Adam - yeah no bother, want a go on the wife to? LoLz
Basically the valve is there and plumbed in to the system but the rod that connects it to the rear beam (which alters the bias based on rear ride height) is not there or connected so it's constantly at MAX flow. What does tend to happen on the 172 Cup though is this bias valve seizes up, usually...
As Chip said above these engines vary so much and mileage is really not a good indicator of condition either (I've seen ring seal issues on sub 60k cars yet my 164k unit is still going strong). If you're really serious about spending money on that engine to extract more power I'd suggest you...
Then that's your problem... inconsistent values between the two pedal tracks. You need to scope the two tracks and see if its a spurious signal (Pedal fault most likely cause) or values out side expected ranges (Most likely due to a wiring or connection fault)

Just helps pay for the time when Steve with his "my mate down he pub can fix it for pennies" comes knocking looking for a hand out ("Come on, you plug it in and thats it"... well you buy one then **** knocker!)
I think what Tony was trying to say was scare it with the sight of a hammer and then check the connections at the horn itself (In the NSF wheel arch area) as they are prone for getting crudded up which causes your problem.
Then again, he may have just been trying to see if you'd actually take a...
Something obviously not right with the stereo circuit then AJ. Remove the wiring and then check the cars loom is functioning correctly with the aid of a multi-meter.
At cranking speed on the K9K the fuel pressure will be more than safe enough to open the injector union and you only "crack" them open a smidgen till you see fuel. I don't think the pressure regulation program will allow it to run anyway as it will detect the general pressure loss at the main...
Keyless belts aren't anything new Fred Kay, Ford also use them on the Zetec petrol engines and the aux tensioner may cost a fortune if purchased anywhere other than Renault but as of yesterday a 197 aux kit is around £48
An independent inspection shouldn't invalidate your warranty as the belt has snapped... no court in the land would accept that as a reason to rule in the garages favor. Have you spoken to the guys that did the belt change yet? (Note I said "Spoken" and not "Shouted at")
The switch has an internal latch which holds it in the required position. You can replace the switch if you like with a new one from Renault but I would personally just pull the switch to bits, bend the flat spring slightly and then rebuild it.... works everytime!
