I sprayed mine ages ago in halfords satin black and its lasted really well, heres a recent pic.

Those bolts dont need doing up too tight. Looking at the inside of the inlet manifold it would benefit you a lot if you gave that a good clean out, and also clean out the inside of the plenum and tb. You'd be surprised what difference it makes. On the 3rd picture down, looking down the inside...

Try resetting the self adjuster by taking the cable off the clutch fork, pressing the pedal to the floor and then pull the cable from the clutch end, and put back on the fork.

Are you taking out the whole air filter assembly or just replacing the filter part?

I got mine refurbed at a place in Worcester. I could get you contact details if you want?? They did a good job but had to keep them a bit longer as they said they were "unique".

Nice one james, does it feel faster than the 1.6??

Yeah they are behind the blank plate, clip it off and you will see what I mean.

Take the lower rad hose off to drain it. Its easy to get to once the airbox is off. Theres 2 ways to remove it. If you cannot get the cross member off you can unbolt the fan assembly from the back of the rad, pull that out the way from the top. Now with a bit of wiggling the rad will come...

The are easy to fit, the just screw into the holes on the bumper.

The Gates kit is ok to use, the aux belt kit is way over priced as its £130 from Renault!! Your trusted garage will need the procedure from the manual and the special tools.

If youve still got all the old receipts and the receipts for the stuff youve done theres nothing to worry about. Any buyer that has some common sense wont worry about it being stamped. Most invoices these days will have exactly whats been done, the parts used and your reg on it.

Ive just serviced my car with UFI filters, they are really good. Especially the air filters.

Id also like to know the answer, i have a big ding in my door pillar. Trouble is its not one that can be pushed out from behind..

You have to buy the whole lower wishbone from renault. have a look on ebay, theres a store called cliospares that can supply just the lower ball joints.

Civics centre bore is 56.1, the clio is 60.1. They wouldnt fit unless the spigot rings are removable.

I would have thought it would be the lambda sensor!!

The one under the throttle goes round to the back of the plenum and connects to a breather right under where the coilpack sits.

Yeah its on the front of the block, I dont think they bring on warning lights though, but they do log faults in the ecu iirc. Whats the problem your having??

The k-tec ones are the Renault ones.

The light only activates if there is a fault. Does it activate when braking hard, or only at slow speed??

Might have stretched or snapped the cable, or snapped 1 side of the cable.

My 172mk1 is on its 3rd.

Ticking noise could be a jammed Solenoid in the carbon canister. Im sure k-tec will identify it straight away.

iirc you can get a basic one from argos for about £20.

Re: feul filter?? On your car its right in front of the fuel tank under the car on the drivers side. Its held in with a plastic retainer. Its very easy to change but the fuel system should be de-pressurised. I think it should be changed every 36k. You can get one off the shelf in Halfords...

If the steering wheel is off centre it means they havnt done it right. Even if one side is out they need to spend time adjusting both sides (to compensate the other) with the wheel centred to get it just right.

Im with Priviledge, my windscreen got cracked this time last year, I had the windscreen cover and only had to pay a £75 excess. They sent autowindscreens out iirc.

Yeah its about a inch and a bit shorter. Are the cats with 2 sensors on the ph1s the same style or are they still twin chamber??

Was going to say, that guy on ebay must be having a laugh as they are £130 from Renault!!

You cant miss it, its a white or black plastic nut on the front of the gearbox. Dont forget to get a new washer for the drain plug.
