I assume you have the dash and column out of the way? I think DannyR took one out of his you could PM him if he doesn't see this.

I'm looking at doing the same. I should be fine with the laptop.

I've answered my own question. It is on the same circuit as the stereo and is fused at 15A.

Any one know what the power rating/max amps/fuse a 172 cigarette lighter is? Thanks

Me too... And I find crimp connectors work loose after a while, maybe it's just becuse I've used cheap ones and a cheap crimp tool?

I've seen many debates on here about soldering not being used in motorsport, can't take the vibrations. Maybe that's just in engine looms? I'm happy with it... What do people use for joins that you want to be able to disconnect and reconnect at will? Spade type crimp connectors or is there a...

I'm going to be doing some "wiring" in the clio. I imagine I'll be needing to do two things mostly: 1. Join the ends of 2 wires together 2. Join a new wire to an existing one without breaking the original wire I'm familiar with what Halfords and the like have to offer but I've never found...

ignition on off on off then get out and hit the clicker as normal. Will beep to let you know it has worked.

What CR can you go up to?

Is it definitely 140 rear and not front?

That is specific to those Toyos listed though. The RS2 is not as soft a compound as in the Toyos so will probably have different temperature limits.

I think he means how to get the connector off the pipe not the fuel rail.

My release bearing has been making noise for years. Need to seperate engine and gearbox to fix.

You don't need a hoist. I dropped the subframe to do mine.

Normally you can tell which sensor from the fault code. Bank 1 sensor 1 being pre-cat and bank 1 sensor 2 being post cat? 36 mpg at 70mph isn't bad, I wouldn't expect to see much better than that. Plus I wouldn't trust the computer, you're best to brim the tank, reset the trip meter and note...

I think your reasoning on using the OMEX is sound. Having your mapper on the doorstep is very handy. I think I will go with OMEX (or some other platform "anyone" can map) for that reason. The tech may be old but it's about the same age as your car so the two should be well suited, plus people...

If you find any info let us know as I'm on the look out as well.

The boot floor is very thin anyway. When I came to drill some holes in mine the centre punch nearly made the holes for me.

I put mine in without welding for the MoT as was a bit short of time. I'd done less 100 miles by the MoT and one of them had popped out, but the guy showed me but said it wasn't an MoT fail, so can't see why he failed yours. I've welded them up now.

I doubt they are that efficient. But it doesn't matter anyway, new invoice for 0p showing they corrected defective work ;-) You could take it somewhere and get them to say there was nothing wrong with it in the first place, just the clip had popped off, but I guess they'll charge for just...

When do you guys put them on/take them off?

They aren't going to check it out, it's just a tick in a box for them.

The reason europe doesn't grind to a halt is that they invest in the infra structure to keep roads moving more than we do and people are used to driving in snow. But in this country it's not worth the investment we don't have enough snow. We've had a couple of decent dumps the last 2 years but...

Re: having come from a impreza what are cliosports like in the snow I thought my 182 was crap in the snow, compared to other front wheel drive cars I've driven e.g. 205 GTI was miles better. Could have been the tread pattern on the Eagle F1s on the front but it was struggling compared to most...

It looks the same as my 172 cup's.

The 182 has 2 of those pumps 1 for the washers the other for the front and rear screens. I tried to get one from Renault and they wanted 50 quid each!

After brimming mine (11 gallon tank) I've run out when the computer says I've only used 9.9 gallons.

Normal is fine.

If you squeeze the ring around it in the right place it will pop off. Then you can have a look at it to see how it works - it is fairly straight forward, it has probably just lost its springyness due to age - if you take it off you should be able to see if there is anything else wrong with it.

Red is your fuel line into the rail. Blue is the return, green the regulator. Yellow is a bit of gasket, it's normal. Sounds like you need a new connector on the fuel in line - I'm not sure whether it's a std connector or renault only.
