From memory they are 63mm.

K-tec sell it seperatly but you have to call or email them, try and blag a free one as the exhausts have a lifetime guarantee.

I have the Goodridge ones and didnt have this issue. Wasnt there a bad batch of goodridges with the wrong ends on or something? Try doing a search as Im sure there was an issue with them.

As above, you can get them cheaply on ebay. Check it is the rings first, check they are aligned with the sensor.

Standar box with standard filter, plus improved cold air feeds works best imo.

Check the mount for the horn, and where the horn touches the mount, on some cars the mount doubles as the earth.

The rear section with silencer is the same, however the centre section on the ph1 is longer as the cat is shorter. Its about an inch and a half.

If its just the coating thats worn and the metal is not seriously rusting they will be fine, its normal for the paint to wear off where the springs touch on compression. I would look into protecting the areas of worn paint with some sort of rust preventer.

Strange problem as the mounts wouldnt normally affect the steering, when it happens does the gear stick move with it?

thats assuming they have the bearings in them, if you are careful you can remove the old rings.

I thought by deflector you were talking about metal pieces that fit behind the discs to protect them sorry.

As above, check the rears are not binding. I get a little dust on the rears after a couple of days.

Ive never seen a 172 with brake delectors fitted in the UK, seen some abroad, have you got some pictures?

I dont run with mine on, im sure someone on the forum proved a while back that they can make the inlet temps slightly hotter.

Have you checked the connector and wiring, is there power at the connector when the brake pedal is pressed. If so then you will need a new light, I think you have to buy the whole unit as its sealed which is about £20.

Most Renaults have this sticker in the engine bay, its probably just a factory quality control record, or record of inspection when it comes in to the UK port. Its nothing to worry about.

The ph1 172 would have been me, I work in Atherstone and always fill up there on a Friday.

I also remember this pic, and have it saved on my old pc :cool:. It inspired me too, infact I often wandered if the one I have was the same car, also found another pic assuming this is yours?

I understand you completly, Ive owned my 172mk1 for about 7 years and never get bored of it, even though its not been modified.

Yes its just the basic 1.2 one, its not as grippy as the leather/normal 172 one.

Im sure OMP do a sump guard, theres also one that you can buy from renaultsport but dont think its much good. Renault one is below.

The ph2 and 182 do not have a ICV, its controlled by the ecu/fly by wire throttle. The ph1 only has one as it has a cable throttle. I think its the same one used on the ph1 1.4s and 1.6 16vs though..

Ive experimented with a few, standard renault, or better yet a cheaper UFI air filter in standard box with improved caf pipes works best. Replace it every 1-2 years depending on how many miles you do.

Spotted a black 182 that parked near me in the Hinckley B&Q carpark. Not seen it around before, anyones?

No they dont, same size disk but the caliper and the pad are different, the Clio calipers were took from the old Laguna.

Theres no rust on my flamer and its gone over the 100k mark. Have you seen all the x reg Fiestas, Kas and Corsa driving around with rusty sills and arches?

Spotted a nice looking rb 182 with white wheels and cs sticker at the Milestone pub in hinckley today around 6:30pm, anyones?

Please dont break it, there wont be any left soon. Get the belts done, and if you want to sell it, sell it. Anyone with any sense will easily buy it in good condition if theres proof its just had them done.

A red 172 mk1 or a silver Scenic II

Will look out for you meganechick, i normally flash or give a nod if I react in time.
