For the work involved, there's really no point. Save the money, and wait for a 1*2.

Awesome price Brun. Top man.

Just as easy with the dogbone. Make sure the engine's supported and it's a doddle.

That's a weird one. Cambelt failure at some point? Head gasket, although it's unlikely? Renault is the only place I'd by head bolts, tbh. They shouldn't be too expensive.

Have it, and sell it on here.

Mk2 Ph1 172.

Win. High milers ftw! Rear discs down in price of late, too. Double win.

Rages and Couzens'. Enough said.

You make my keys sticky. x

I missed you.x

As easy as doing engine oil. Pm me if you want a guide.

LOL! Do you need a guide on opening the bonnet, Schwep? ;)

Take of engine cover. Loosen top bolt. Loosen 4 big bolts. Jack up engine (gently). Swap over. You might need to loosen the upper gearbox mount, as mine was off when I changed it over. Reverse to fit.

Re: 172 mk1 knocking (hard acceleration and over bumps) Renault Swin say that cant f Top gearbox mount, my money is on. It's only about £20, and is easy enough to fit.

As Danny said. Digital dash or not.

More than it's worth. No point. Save the money and put it towards a faster car, or suspension and brakes.

You might get a warnign light come up if you don't plug the abs sensors in.. I see no reason it won't fit, tbh.

Runnymede. It's a wonder you managed to get in there, what with all the asian BBQ's! Nice shots, btw.

As above. You won't be getting engine oil leaking there as the bell housing is dry. Mine's always got oil there, but never loses much. Just check it when you do your engine oil, just to make sure, but I wouldn't worrry too much.

Yeah. Pm Tom. His Clio V12 is a f**king weapon!

Has been done before. The name 'The Green Sheep' has too. Saner's old car.

My 05 plate 1.2 had a different engine from a mates '03 plate. I'm sure it'll be fine!

I reckon so.

As above. F0xy's the man in the know. Matteh, too, I believe.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid rebuild This is going to be awesome!

I'd imagine so. The thickness of a low profile PE2 just hasn't got the depth. Undecided about whether I'd run them or not.

That's sex.

The costs involved with lorry tyres are so different. A recut is about £25, where as a new tyre is about £150, give or take. Plus, the tyres have 12mm tread when new, and only about 6/7mm once recut. Is it the same policy where he just cuts into PE2's, or are they completely 'remoulded'?

Tyres I take it you mean? Yeah, of course they will. It'll only be something tiny though.

Pics, or it's worth feck all.
