Phew

Errr, what am I trying to sell then, bit between the bonnet and the bumper

It was changed in december and was fine but had to be changed again when the head gasket was done to avoid this kind of scenario. I'll have to have a chat with him and threaten to fill him in.

Should I trust him after this??? lol

I'll probs keep it tbh, just have to borrow money. This year alone it's blown a spark plug and had to have a helicoil fitted, the head gasket blew and now this.

How many hours labour you reckon??? If I'm swapping the engine, seeing as I'm always looking for more power any other engines that would relatively easily slip in? Aren't you doing a meg 225 conversion.

Right, yet to be properly diagnosed but I think my cambelt has snapped. Had it changed two weeks ago by a mates father who changed it when he did my head gasket. He is a mechanic and works on the lorries at days ford. If it is the timing belt would I be able to get Renault to pay for the work...

3 yrs is the magic no isn't it???

It never did flash but at least the alarm worked, now I've got a nice red flash and can't get in to my car

Just changed the battery on my key fob (I only have one key) and now the light on the key flashes when I press it (didn't used to) but doesn't switch the alarm on or off. Do I need to go to Renault and pay them money I haven't got to code my key again???

clarkson loved the 182 tho, he slated it's build, the plasticy bits etc but said he still loves it like a little puppy that's ready to please lol

Get a snes

Which fuse controls the ciggie lighter, mine doesn't even work

omg? errr, I'm out of my depth here! I'n leymans terms, for a simple but decent set up. what should I buy and set up?

Well that told me lol. Ok so I'll ditch the 6x9 idea and get some front components:D

don't really need front components though, the sund on the standard cliosport ones are good enough.

What's the best setup I could get for £300? Looking for amp, sub and 2 6x9's? Haven't got much of a clue. Where's cheap? Cheers:approve:

Get a custom de-cat from somewhere like pro-speed and it's a ten minute, 4 bolt job to remove the de-cat

I'm in Swansea so bit of a trek down to portsmouth unfortunately :(

How much generally will it cost to have my car plugged in to the diagnostic softwear in a Renault dealer to see what's wrong with my engine???

Well I know I'm doing just under 80 at 3500 rpm in 5th so I'll just stick to that for now.

May make my car a nice low miler in a couple of years then ;)

ph1 172, you name any of the usual faults that happen with these cars and I've had them!

My speedo has stopped working for some reason but it also means that the mileage on my car is not increasing. What does everyone think, should I get it fixed asap or drive around and get some 'free' miles?

but at the price they are they're actually cheaper than getting ones from renault if you need your leads replaced

How old is your car, 172 backboxes are notorious for falling off, I created quite a fireworks display when mine did.

where in wales is this lads?

cheers man

Not on about upgrading just on about getting some leads that aren't from renault and £100 + vat

What leads do you need for a ph1 172, I'm having a nightmare trying to find some, anyone got any brands or stock no's. cheers.
