Really annoying me this now,daft things delaying the job all the time i should have know it wasnt going to end well since the keys been stuck in previously before i started trying to get it out the column

Subframe off completely now,rack and pas pipes/pump all off all thats is left is the exhaust-the bolts pissed me off so i give up for the day,drivers seat (so i can get it.to.get the column out) and the column Looking forward to.starting the.rebuild all in all theres alot of weight...

Im on doing it now in my project thread, You need 2 brackets if i remember from the renault 5 to mount the alt (1 is a slider tensioner) and a shorter belt

I have a mini pinch bar/crowbar which worked but it still took alot of force,youve just reminded me il have to do it again soon feck

Iv got the 13mm nut off but the bolt is being a pain,is there a way to get it out ? the racks still attactched to the subframe as neither will be be going back on so making removal easier (epas/cup subframe)

The bit that worried me was when i pointed out all.of the cup parts where clearly not on the car he its "proppa cup cammd n that n thousands spent"

http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/2002-clio-sport-172-cup/1046680615 thats got to be a winner surely

Got the dash out and the columns ready to remove set away removing the aux set up and have had a few shite bolt related issues but progress is being made slowly Its still got its undertray which suprised me and found the renault service sheets tomorrow il get the rest of the aux set...

But the amount of torque required would be lower so would the engines output not be higher at any given rpm Iv got myself confused now

Setting fire to some £notes would make more sense Am i getting old or does mixing fire and car not compute

I just cleaned mine when it started playing up as they cheapo ebay one i bought was knackered from new lol

Tdc sensor

So torque is the force needed to turn engine drivetrain etc ? With that in mind wouldnt rolling road figures be a noticeable amount up/down with say a set of 15inch ultraleggeras and say ph2 172 wheels on a 172

Are thy diy jobs ?

Im fancying one for the wife,shes just passed her test before being to pregnant to drive and shes now thinking of a car of her own got a quote for her 1st year for a clio dci for 740 which i thinks pretty reasonable,30quid? Tax a year Seems a good car to go for but are they riddled with...

And at a smidge under 4k its a steal lmao Theres a "172 cup with extras" on gumtree atm thats a good laugh extras being non cup parts like s**t 172 wheels and standard spoiler it may have also been remapped to over 200bhp which is nice in theory lol il try find the link

finaly garage cleared and work commences Lets hope the subframe comes off easier than the cup donor-il leave it overnight with a bit spray oil before i attempt it

Is that above the tdc? Theres your stating problem me thinks

Having the same dilema myself for the wife Im leaning towards the dci its 30quid road tax is appealing

It it stops turning after 3secnds its a coms problem between the uch and ecu but if it keeps turning then id look at tdc 1st Not sure it would bring up.the eml tho

Lights out so id look at tdc sensor give it a clean Is the zigzag light not the eml

Is the imobiliser light still staying on solid

The white block in the fuse box under the bonnet (its in a pic on this thread earlier)

Have you checked the comnections on that white block (uch) and the other end of it in the passenger footweel its a communication problem uch aint signalling the fuel pump so its semi immobilised

Key in turn to position 1 for 30s 2 for30s Back 1 for 30 then remove key wait 30 and try starting My uch is t**t too

You cant just loose that amount n it not leave a trace,if its leaking externally youshould see it n internally id expect to see blue smoke under load Also check plugs to see if any look more carbon,d up than other

Finally got the cup completely stripped and the shell out the garage 1st i need to do a bit cleaning since he gearbox oil pi55ed itself work shall commence on saturday get it on axle stands and set about removing a few bits quite excited now im actually able to get on witb it pics...

Feck! Its not exactly needed but its annoying having bits missing lol

Early ph1 172s had its then it was removed then added go ph2s my ph1 doesnt have it but i would like it what was actually removed was it the clocks just dont have the light or ecu/wiring changes Reason i ask is i have a set of clocks from a ph2 and my ph1 clocks need to be removed...
