Canon S100/110/120 is also in the same class as the LX7. The Sony rx100s have a relatively huge sensor and are in a class of their own. All of these are probably more than is necessary. I used a Panasonic FH1 for many years and for the price it is superb. Very compact and quite cheap. The...

Do a full time machine backup, make sure nothing has been excluded. Then do the disk format and is install. During the install you will be prompted to restore from a time machine backup. Easy. To be honest, just install the latest version. No need to nuke everything.

The power steering flex pipes may be restricted and need changing. IIRC the 182s and possibly late-172 (with ESP) have a different, higher capacity power steering flex pipe that can be retro-fitted to the older 172s.

This has been done before. This kind of thing is very common on sailing boats. Usually the whole stove is on such a gimbal so cooking can continue while the boat is leaning or moving through swell.

I'm a dad and bought a 172 for my 2 sons (aged 21 & 23). My advice is DO NOT LET HIM DRIVE THE CLIO otherwise you will never get to use it for yourself. :) They are great cars. Also IMHO resist the temptation to spend money on mods. They are great cars from stock. Save your cash for good...

Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

Drink coasters? (A good way to get rid of any left-over tax disk holders too.)

Is the battery dead?

To test the clutch, put it in 5th (or 6th) gear and with your foot hard on the brake, release the clutch. No need to rev the engine hard or anything. Of it stalls immediately them clutch is good.

The 182 uses a different canbus to the 172 hence the head units not compatible.

The headlights need to be manually adjusted to the correct "unloaded" position. After that the levellers (manual or auto) are used to lower the beams to adjust for load. Is the op using xenon hid lights, or the normal halogen lights with "xenon" blue bulbs in them?

If you have a 182 it has the "Update List" head unit as stock. This can take an AUX input, available on eBay cheaply. No need for connects2 boxes to replace the cd stacker unless you want more integration.

Check when the belts were done, they need changing on age as well as distance. Assuming 4 years service life they should have been done twice now.

Can you post some pics of the inside of the rear. Nothing like this ever came to Australia. It looks really interesting.

Sounds like engine run-on after the ignition is cut, and the rough running is banging engine mounts.

How does the weight of the turinis compare to the stock alloys?

Belts go snap quite often. The PO of my car had the belt snap, ironically while it was in a non-specialist mechanic shop being serviced for aircon. It had head work and a new belt put on but the pulleys were not done. I had the whole lot changed when I got it, to be sure. People seem to...

Cruise/ limiter Switch is next to the ESP switch (by your right knee). Middle position is off. Either that or it's the highway patrol behind you. :)

Re: Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc When you lower the car the suspension points on the wheels move up relative to the body, these things move them back down again. One line. In oz these would need an engineering certificate to be road legal. What's the case in the uk?

No I think he wants to buy a Uk one cheap and convert it lhd and sell t back in France to make profit.

Congrats. Now I'm going to have to read all 11 pages of this thread :)

I don't think there are any chains on the f4r engine. Belts are quieter, easier to fit but put more load on bearings and have shorter life.

Errr no. That joke is probably older than you. :)

The big difference is the Nissan lump is turbo. F4R is normally aspirated and has gone about as far as it can with regards to getting performance out of it. The market now wants turbo too.

Do they stock VW Beetle water pumps as well? The Clio II and III engines use belts not chains. I dunno what the turbo engine in the Clio IV uses.

Sticky dash happens to Aussie Clios too. Alcohol cleans it. Just watch the stock head unit the writing on the front gets taken off too. :)

The 172s have the "Tuner List" head unit. These have no connection options. Only choice is to replace the cd stacker with a Connects2 that will allow iPod connection. Alternatively install a parrot Bluetooth adaptor which allows iphone connection by by-passing the stock head unit. The 182s...

Should put LEDs in the bullets.

172 thumb grips are rubber not leather. If you don't like that then see about getting it refurbished with a full leather cover. EDIT I just re-read the post. If your wheel does NOT have rubber grips then it had been refurbished already. Not a bad thing because they were probably broken...
