got a few questions after buying a 182 manifold :)
1. I will be either coating or heat wrapping the manifold before fitting, obviously this will lower the engine temp. slightly. Im woundering if this will have any effect on the engine as are they programmed to work best at a required temp. or...
Looking at getting a private plate but finding it hard to find any i like.
my name is Carl Andrew Barron so was looking one that ended with the initials. This ofc is CAB which the plates for obvious reasons are all expensive. So far my favourite is this one:
(it kinda looks like Carl lol)

put the standard rear lights in and replaced the aftermarket 17" alloys with some standard 172 alloys. Its going to the body shop at the weekend to remove dents,tidy it up and spray and fit a cup spoiler. Because of this i couldnt polish/wax etc so excuse the grubby-ness.

The cars been running fine so i decided to fit my 172 alloys and give the arches a clean. after pressure washing the arches and wheels when starting the car the engine management light came on and stayed on. the car still seems to be running fine so im not sure.
is it just a matter or crap...
hey,
My 172 is now running but im currently struggling with it misfiring. The problem is that it is only running on 3 cylinders it seems. The engine management light turns itself on after a while and flashes when driving and building up the rev's. I have changed the coilpack and the spark plugs...
After driving my 172 yesterday everything seemed fine but today when i took it out it seems to have a misfire :S Seems to be running on 2-3 cylinders and its running lumpy. Ive read a few posts on here and seems to be the coilpack, ive got a spare coil pack so i will be trying that later on...
As im now looking for insurance for a 172, im expecting a stupid amount of money to insure it but oh well. Im ideally looking for a fully comp insurance so i want to make sure i know exactly what my insurance covers. I can get the price down alot of my insurance by upping the excess to...
Looking at getting one of these for my 172 pictured below:
Im just woundering if anyone had any measurements of them and are they road legal as i understand the OE ones arent.
thanks
carl
Hmm im just woundering would it cost much to change the plastics such as the rear wiper cresent thing, the base of the wiper armsand the wing mirror base plates for example as on my 172.
They are made from a wierd material which is a wierd colour and has a strange texture compared to my 1.2...
After talking to the guy who re-fitted the flywheel, clutch and gearbox for me im a little confused....
am i right in thinking the flywheel should only bolt on in one place with regarding the TDC sensor or does it not matter?

Will be firing up the engine tomorrow so im going to take some precautions to the work shop as there is no internet connection there.
Is there a list/guide of what each of the dash lights mean? as im sure i will have more illuminations on the dash than Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Ive looked in the...
Looking to treat my 172 to some new mats, not sure what to go for to be honest. Im stuck between some renault ones, justmatz ones or just some cheap ones from Halfords.
1. Renault Comfort Evolution mat
£40.00
Custom-made, colours match vehicle interior.
2. Justmatz
Do they still do...

Replacing Clio 172 Engine (Project )
After finishing my replica i felt that the only way to go was to fit the real thing, the 2.0ltr from a 172. This led me to purchasing this beauty:
Failed conversion with a Clio cup engine which has only covered 16k miles.
After looking at all the things...
Looking at removing the front bumper, lights,wings this weekend ready for the engine. I have already removed the bumper and the lights before but not sure with the wings.
Any tips?

Looking at getting my Inlet Manifold, fuel rail guard and engine mount/cover all either polished or powder coated.
Would polish dull very quickly or should it stay shiny with a weekly clean?
Is it possible to chrome plate each bit?
I have a Carbon Fibre engine cover with a Silver 172, what...
