Awesome!

LOL! The TDC sensor is located at the top of the gearbox, where the bell housing meets the engine block. Held on by two 10mm bolts. I'm not certain how many wires there are, but I think I've got a spare sensor in the garage..

The sat nav is correct, your car's speedo isn't. Many variants affect why the speedo reads more than your car is actually going. Indicated (on speedo) 45mph, is fine in a 40. Indicated 80mph is fine in a 70mph, IME.

For a service, it won't make any difference. MOT is a different story.

I always thought a TDC sensor would turn the engine over, it just wouldn't fire up?

Proper brake feel ftw. Shopping cars and their windscreen endangering servos ftl.

I doubt it, but the more powerful servo would make the brakes feel sharper from cold.. Also, keep in mind that you'll probably be going faster in your 182 than in the 1.4, so it's all relative, really..

The servo amplifies the pressure you press on the brake pedal, to make braking more effortless. With the same pressure pushed on a 1.2/1.4's brakes, they'll bite harder than a 1*2. From an equal speed, at the same, high temperature, the 182 will pull up long before a 1.4. Rally cars, etc...

Where are you in Chertsey?

Your 1.4 brakes weren't better, they were just over-servo'd.

I found a fully reconditioned one to be £650 from a gearbox specialist. They would do £500 if you exchanged your old box.. New from Renault was about £725. Got mine off the bay, second hand, £300, off a cup with 55k. Win. When you say your gearbox has 'gone', what do you mean?

I have a lower gearbox mount (not dogbone) from a 172 sitting in the shed, if either of you two need it.. Pm me and i'll whack it in the post..

As said before..

Not really. Just seems a bit of a random purchase. If it had her initials, or something to do with the car, it'd make sense. WOW, to me, really doesn't..

As long as you're happy with it, fair play..

Why?

Missed this first time round.. Glad to see the Ph1's still as loved as when I had it!

You the fella who bought my old Ph1, matey? W571?

And no alarm bells were ringing there?!

Your car's going to feel much nippier when you have done..

Christ knows. Ages ago, I'd imagine, but the levels are all fine.. Hope it is something as simple as a caliper clean-up..

Nothing at all to worry about..

The 1*2 ones will be much too strong. They're weak for a reason, imo.

Right, a weird one. On a 1997 Nissan Almera 1.4 (weapon.) When driving sometimes, the brake pedal goes tight (exactly the same as when you pump the pedal without the engine running.) and the front left brake sticks on.. I can't work out why.. It's only when the engine's hot, and in...

If the dogbone has been fitted with the bolts in the wrong way round, the gearstick will knock against it underneath the car, restricting it's movement..

For someone who isn't going to go all out, AG/Megs products will be fine. I use Megs shampoo. SRP. EGP. Megs tyre shine. A decent mitt and a few microfibres are a must, too. £40/50 should do it..

They have a heat shield/cover, and possibly a smaller heatshield ( i think). I have one of the smaller ones in the garage if anyone needs..

Hello and welcome.. Pics of you and the car? Which other club out of interest?

I don't think he's talking about a Clio 200. I think he means a Ph1 172, from 2000.

WTF's wrong with your CaPs LoCk BuTtOn?!
