Depends how much labour costs you and how many valves are hit you might get away with free labour and a few quid in parts but realistically it won't be cheap as its hea off and fix the valves which are damaged then new head gasget and pout it all back together.
Check the earthing connection point for the rear light etc its on the passenger side in the boot behind the linning.
the wires run down the passnger side of the car by the door then round the side of the rear seats passenger side agians and then up to the boot.
Unless you find a friendly mechanic who has littl to dot here not going to fix the job for free etc booking it in will cost.
just check you've plugged everything in correctly

Seat belt warning light
The SERV and AIRBAG lights come on its a common problem (almost every has it) its due to the wiring of the pretensioners going to an open circuit. Fiddle with the wires...
the switches can be trouble easy way to find out is to get a renault computer in the car with you and it will detect the switch being pressed if your not so you'd need to fix the switch etc.
check the relays under the passenger footweel i'd bet the one for those itesm you have listed has come loose just push it back in.
Its easy enough to get to it right down under the dash by where a pssengers feet would be. Easy enough to knock
He'll mean logs. I've never fiddled with the rs tunner but I'm guessing you can drive the car and log the outputs so do that and save and send him the files.
There the best for the price you can get the FK's but there not superb to get sup[erb stuff you have to pay a lot.
Doesn't matter what engine you have a good suspension setup is worth every penny.
Stock brakes are more than enough.
You can just swop the hubs driveshfats (or else swop the bearings over) and shocks over if you wanted but the 2.0 weights more so suspension isn't setup for the right weight.
54mm on the 172 and 58mm on the dci's also the dci has 13mm diameter bolts and...
Find a good one stick some spare in the bank for possibnle repairs and you'll love it.
It is a much more alive car but if your doing motorway miles or loads of miles I'd keep the 172 as its easier to drive.
Ar well this is whatb happens what a garage doesn't use the right tools or do the job right.
(this is usually the reason they fail so soon they have failed before even with the right tools but very very very very infrequently basically one hand counting after a lot of belts.)
Best compair it with other 1.2's but they are all high and all small biting points and all heavy.
Unless a seal etc has gone or something broken or the cars been used for none stop 1/4 mile or slipping clutch it won't need one.
so long as the offset is fine there no issue fred used to be down even more although he did have his arch liners removed and I think did wear his rear wheel arch down a bit.
