    172PH1,Spark Plugs/TDC Sensor Part Numbers

    Easy job for both. Be carful when removing and replacing the plugs, it's all too easy to damage the thread on the plugs. TDC sensor is just two 10mm bolts. (I have a 2nd hand spare one if you want to try that?) My gasket under the plenum was just like a rubber seal. I didn't replace it and...

    The 1.2 drop out.....

    Is the engine mounted in the car? It's a fecking pig to do, but it's just trial and error. Project's looking well. I'd love to try something like this.

    clutch is high

    Don't worry unless it starts slipping. Clutch is the strongest part of most Clios, imo.

    Carbon Black BMW M3

    Perfecto.

    Barge.

    This lot did my wheels. The work was top notch.

    What driveshafts for my conversion

    If not, I've got a fork and release bearing from a Ph1 172 box sitting around. The bearing was on mine for about 100k though, so would be risky to use on the road. The fork's fine though!

    RB 197, Chobham. 8am.

    RB 197 with the number plate S111NYO. Or something like that... Any takers?

    Clutch adjuster picture

    What're you after, anyways? Explain..

    Oil leak.....Gear box?

    I really wouldn't worry about it. They all do it. Just make sure you check your box oil everytime you check the engine oil..

    Colour coding again. Paint stripper?

    Get some paper with a course grit then, but I'd imagine that anything that will strip paint won't do the plastic any good. Failing that, how much can you get 2nd hand ones for? £20?

    Suspension Turrent bolt

    Ouch. Where's it snapped? At the head? Can you get the mount off so you've got some room, or is it holding it on?

    Colour coding again. Paint stripper?

    You don't need to go all the way back to the plastic. Just take the shine off, and paint on top..

    Is it still worth keeping my 172?

    Jesus!

    brake disc cracked

    As above. Not too big a job. No more than an 1h30m work for someone with all the tools. Have a crack yourself! If not, I'm sure there are plenty of people on here who fancy earning £50 one saturday morning.

    itrips

    Floridaz' cable was top notch. Only a tenner, too, iirc. Itrips, I always found were shite.

    A Member off here I met at a random house party!?

    It's certainly a minter!

    Pm me your address and i'll get it posted. :cool: It's because his isn't standard, people notice it!

    I've got some CS stickers in a drawer at home if you want it FOC.

    Spring painting

    Me neither, but I seriously would use black duct tape. Cheap as chips, and you'll never know when they're up on the car!

    clunk when clutch dropped

    Yeah. The manifold hitting the subframe most likely. Simple adjustments might be possible. Loosen two top mounts, pull engine forward and tighten the mounts. If not, they'll need replacing.

    Spring painting

    The springs normally have an acryllic sort of thing covering them, due to the movement, iirc. Like a plasticy/rubbery covering. Black tape ftw.

    new member needing help

    Is it a servicable item? If not, the warranty really should cover the damage caused, imo.

    are the steering racks from regular Clios and Clio Sports the same?

    I'm tempted to say they'd be different. I don't know why but my 1.2 had a better turning circle than my 172.

    Inaccurate MPG on trip computer

    They all do it, I think. Range is just a guide. When I fill mine up it says an estimated 380miles or so. 290-310 is more like it.

    I'm a bit of a geek with knowing people's cars.. :o

    Nope. Jamesstone, you thinking? It was standard, from what I could see.
