Hmmm.... something tells me 'bidder 1' didn't buy them at all.

Mine was a ph2. Renault told me at the time that it was 'pot luck' as to whether the loom would be there or not if the car had never had fogs. The cabin loom is separate to the front end loom and as such you could have the cabin part but not the front end, or vice versa.

Is yours a ph1 or ph2? My loom was up behind the fog recesses, just below the headlight. If I remember correctly I jacked the front end up and looked up the bumper from underneath to find them. They're likely to be tied up out the way if they are there.

When I had my 1.2 years ago, the loom was present behind the bumper and I just plugged the fogs in. However, the loom didn't continue into the cabin and I had to fit the dash/stalk section myself to make them work.

If they are there then they'll be hanging down up behind your front bumper.

Ah cool, that be why I didn't spot ya! Where abouts you from, you local??

The seatbelt buttons I would just replace to be honest. Click me.

Hai :o Never saw you fella, were you in your car??

Perfectly normal Kerry, the car that is ;)

As above but the 182 runs et45 and you want to stay as close to that as possible. As far as I know 15" and above will clear the brakes.

Shock absorbers arrived with Pete and should now (hopefully) be in Holland with V-Maxx. I'll keep this updated with any further developments as I'm sure Pete will too.

Well a chap I spoke to priop to putting mine on said his 172 had struggled to the mid 160's on the rollers, so who knows - maybe it is accurate :)

Looking good Jon and you're welcome :) Makes me realise how much I need mine PC'ing... :dapprove:

Mr RR result was 191.2 @ Trax. Somewhat optimistic I know, but to be honest, I don't care - the graph looks good! :approve:

Right well after giving the car a bit of use and using the handbrake a few times I can now report that is has slowly got tighter and tighter and I now feel that the effort has improved drastically - I once again feel safe leaving my car on a hill! :approve: So, to anyone who suffers from this...

You'll need bolts, a new clamp and sealant for the exhaust too.

Looks too low, even in the top pic :dead:

I think the ph1 172 and ph2 172 share the same suspension, but again the ph2 Cup is different (bolt spacings).

Yes they are different Rick. Only the 182 Cup and Trophy share the same hub spacings. Also the 182 Cup ran different (firmer) shockers I believe.

There's already one arranged for that date from us NW lot ;)

Personally, unless you're doing the 2.0 engine conversion, I really wouldn't bother.

My Sony adapter only reads 'Sony' on the head up, no track or station info. Steering controls are fully functional though.

Is this November we're talking? I'm not fussed which way I head but have voted for RS Tuning :)

AST's are available for the Cup, as are H&R's. K-tec are developing a set as we speak and so are V-maxx which may be worth considering?

ATS will do it, pricey though at about £15 a corner.

You should...but bear in mind your premium will probably go up even though you'd have more chance of stopping with better brakes ;)

Lol, no one is going to give you a write up on how to do the brakes when we all have to pay for the privilege ;) Surely £10 would be a wise investment for the guides alone? :S

New dampers aren't that expensive from Renault, I think they're circa £50 each. GSF or aepdirect.com may be able to sort you out cheaper.

Believe me I was daunted as hell when I first thought about messing with/bleeding the brake lines as I'd never done it before, but once I'd got my head round setting up the system and getting it airtight etc it was all fairly straight forward :)

Shock absorbers were sent today, so hopefully Pete should be in receipt of them tomorrow.
