Yep only cup boxes have speedo sensors on them. if he had the wrong box fitted with the diff and accepted knowing the speedo didn't work why? He could have done tones of miles in a year and the next owner wouldn't know about. If you buy and find its the wrong box what do you do to have a road...

Change the oil (what is a good oil to use?) Engine oil have a look how you use the car 5-40 is a good choice any fully synthetic. No need to pay for racing stuff if your not going to use it and its better to chnage it more often with decient normal stuff than leave racing oils in for longer...

It would be possible to test on the MOT using brakes tests etc.

You can buy from renault for the time being some duct tape is a stop gap repair

Yep from memory theyre the same.

Speedo doesn't have to work for an MOT only when new Stupidly though its illegal to drive on the raod without a working speedo though Its one of those strainge rules where the MTO ddoesn't say its legal to drive only it passes the test.

But its mapped so there no problem running on 92 ROn from memory

Checkmplugs and coil packs

So the owner spent £1.5k on a new dif and didn't ask the person who fitted it that the speeedo needs to work? I'd walk well away.

Can you here the central locking activating ? Wjhen you press the locking key on the dasboard does the central lcoking operate? Have you juts bought the car?

If/When they have a crash indsurance companies won't stop laughting they can walk away from any claim and claim all cost from 3rd partys to be claimed back from the owner. SO they would walk away with the owners premium + all there costs paid not a bad business. O and its illegal so they have...

Insuracne canbe dione As regards price from Ktec to fit I'm guessing they also cover fixing parts as few conversion fit and work straihgt out the box. I know one which had 2 gearboxes plus the original plus a new ECU/ UCH and an auto electricial on it for some time.

Be careful with Dynamique spec as spec went up and down they lost there auto lights at a point. Best just ask the place who is replacing the glass they know which windows have the sensors

Messes up the abs system. Persosnaly if I did a swop I'd keep the drums and get some abs rings made for the rear drums so they don't mess up the abs

Also drums are cheaper to fix / break less and easier to fix. Don't look as "sporty" though which is the main reason they are fitted.

]You don't need to use the disks you can get a abs pickup rings made for the rear drums or if you want make up some abs rings for the front of the car and use the old abs system

Pumps are cheap £14 from car parts place £35 from Renault if my memorys any good. For the price vs the time to strip the car to get to the pumps I wouldn't bother buying new ones. My pump messes up ever now and again i have only once bought a replacement.

Some poeple on here thing a 172 engine with s**t interior, no xenons, no cruise control makes for a more expensive car than a normal 172 (as for the wheels and tyres theses can be easily changed anyway
