I think the mk1 172 head has bigger exhaust ports??..

As above make sure renault replaced them with the right ones.

Check and clean the tdc sensor.

Did it have silver Turinis?

Make sure you have your radio code!!

As above make sure they get the clutch kit and not just a clutch, always good practise to stick a new cable on it too.

Which tool do you need??? Mot 799-01 Tool for immobilising pinions Mot 1054 Top dead centre pin Mot 1496 Tool for setting camshafts Mot 1509/Mot1509-01 Tools for immobilising the camshaft pulleys Mot 1512 Tool for fitting exhaust seal Mot 1517 Tool for fitting the inlet cam seal

Not much i would have thought, it takes about 20 mins up on the ramps. Its so easy to do yourself though..

The HU is a clarion one from a suzuki, thought this would be easier than getting a new hu etc. As for the 172 if i get a cable for the tuner list stereo, can i still have the cd changer connected at the same time??

Are they any good?? Is the sound quality decent?? Mrs wants one and im not so sure..

Cant see why not, what engine is it??

Wahey, mines just passed aswel. Although it broke the emissions machine again, not sure what it is with my car and trying to get a reading..

The only one that comes closest is the yozza quiet road exhaust, its free flowing than the standard one and only slightly louder..

As above id go aftermarket. Yozza do a quiet quality stainless exhaust. I bought a new renault exhaust, before fitting Ive strengthened it and sprayed it with high temp anti corrosion paint, so far its lasted 3 years and looks good on the outside but I think its destroying itself from the...

Heres mine lowered approx 30mm on eibach sportlines:

Tell your mechanic to have another look. The back springs can be done in 5 mins by undoing the lower shock bolt. Sometimes in the trade a torsion bar gets mixed up with a trailing arm.

The gap is perfectly normal, theres nothing wrong with it mate. The gap allows for the difficult angle the strut goes when the wheels are turned. The bit you need to worry about is the rubber in the turret and the bearing plate. If its not knocking or banging they are fine. If youve seen...

Depends where its blowing, normally when they start blowing they start to fall apart.

As well as the back and centre section youll need a new fitting sleve, and gasket, plus possibly new centre to cat bolts and nuts. You can fit it yourself, no welding required it just all bolts on like a big mechano kit.

The 172ph1 doesnt need the washer fix if its on standard wheels. It doesnt suffer from this. If it is knocking it could be worn top mount bearings.

Yeah they'll fit. Not keen on those rear lights, if you sit down and think about it the standard lights look a lot better. A few on here have got those front lights, cant think of any silver ones though. To be honest ebay is probably the cheapest place.

Forgot to mention the cat to centre section gasket aswel.

They are quite tricky on 172s, the manifold to cat bolts and nuts are hard to get to and the cat to centre seciont bolts/nuts corrode quite badly. Its a also a 2 man/woman job as someone needs to have a spanner on the cat down the bonnet to manifold bolts while the other undoes the nuts on the...

Spotted a blue 172 in the sainsburys near fosse park in leic. Looked very clean but you wouldnt have seem me i was in my mates corsa.. Anyone??

Youd need the door cards that are similar to the ph2 clio, the ones where the elec window switches are in with the door grab handle. The elec mirror switch is on the driver side grab handle. The mirrors will also be heated when the rear demister is on. Some door cards from a...

Yours has the earlier type mirrors, some do have the wiring ready in the doors, but guessing from your car it probably doesnt is it a 98-99?? The elec mirrors would still fit but you'd have to get a bit clever with the wiring. Possibly new door cards needed too.

Renault sell a kit with new gaitor, grease and 2 clips, last time I looked it was £20. I wouldnt use plastic ties only as a temp fix, especially if you plan on doing track days.

It will fit. Its slightly different. Strengthened in places and has a slightly thicker roll bar.
