Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project I don't understand why use bigger disk brakes if you want better handling (less unsprung weight) and a simplier setup use the 259mm disk the 172 calipers are heavier etc if you wanted to uprate them get some 4 pots etc As for the plastic plug for the gearbox it is a...

the black cable does the beeping

its a common issue do a search

a few possible places but try the scuttle panel for blocks etc.

Do a search its discussed loads.

Its easy enough.

Try the breakers yards.

Ha ha you'll have fun Its not that bad as some would have it but you do need to give it constant maintaince.

you find loads of second hand beams are bent best do find a car which has had a fornt end as the rear beams do get bent often in crashes a fair bit, Check your cars front end though as well also might be worth rottating the tyres.

coilovers cut springs pi springs heavy friends.

Your better of spending a lot on a decinet setup but stock shock will survive although with not as great a ride as might be hoped for as long as they would with standard springs

get the rear sorted you've bent the axle I'd bet a new ones not to bad just get a straight one.

Get a Renault one doens't matter which compnaies make you use realy you find bad batches of all.

ballest computer probbely failed then.

1) Reliable as much as how good a car you get and the care you take of it 2) About the same there not bad on fuel depends how you drive 3) later 172 on 53ish plate onwards have cruise all 182 have it 4) Common Clio problems http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=108607 5)...

I've got it at work drop me an email eddeuk at yahoo.co.uk and when i get a moment I'll send it to you just remember to write in the email what you want got a laod of them to sort tomorrow.

See your other thread but you need to find the air leak. check vcume pipes I'd just leave the engine ideling remove all the tools etc and put your hand round feeling for the leak

get the car plugged into a computer check what the pedal is giving out as an output. also worth cleaning the throttle body. but if your throttle body is cled and the cars reving that high you have an air leak check all the vacume pipes etc you'll have a leak from them etc.

dodgy tdc often shows as poor starting do a search for a picture but its on top of the gearbox next to the engine easy enough to chnage

check the driveshafts and the abs sensor and teeth rings are ok plus check the wheel bolts are tight new shafts are about £115 I think maybe a bit more.

Get the car plugged into a computer see what is setting it off might be a rear belt sensor

New or second hand? there cheap enough.

Its on the passenger side of the engine bay under the plastic cover.

a 182 head will fit a 172 no problem There are differences between intake and exhaust manifold and other things but realy its no issue.

IMO I'd keep the abs you have and the pas you have which is electric and use that IMO its easier. Aircon is simple enough just use the right looms from the doner car etc Stereo is dead easy As for the looms pull the looms and dash from your car and put the whole engine and interier...

Find someone good and helpful and ask nice and you'll find a lot of helpful people working at Renault. as for spec hum depends on what your power band etc is 1.2 is a small engine so you'd ber looking at a small turbo. IMO though I'd be looking at a new engine for more power.

They won't affect the mixture much but it is much better to go it mapped.

Is the car due a service it sounds a bit like the dephaser is broken,

might as well go for a bigger drop. DOn't forget what is claimed and what you get and what they sink to are all different. IMO get some eiback springs if your not willing to spend any money on a good decinet kit,

It is in the service book the original phase 1's weren't to be chnaged till 72k with the belts but there were so many claims that it got changed but often the delaers don't know as they remember the old rules.
