I had the same problem, i cleaned my tdc sensor and its been fine since.

Its hard to tell, they look almost right, the standard ones are like this: Width [mm]128,9 Height [mm]55,4 Thickness [mm]18,3

SOmething dont seem right there, 40cm difference in width and the boot on a mk2ph1 is twice as big as a clio III???

On a 1.2 the front springs are massive. As long as you have a good pair of spring clamps theres not much thats dangerous. Make sure they are clamped well and squashed before removing the top nut and when undoing them, do a bit at a time each side. Make sure the car is put on axle stands and...

F4R is the engine and JB5 is the gearbox mate.

Had a look on dialogies and cannot find it, anyone know the vehicle type code for a valver or williams??

Exhaust mani is a pain on the 182 as its a lot bigger than the 172. Theres a guide in the guides section.

As above, it depends where they have broken to how hard it is to get them off. Best get it done as basically the roll bar is not serving its purpose of preventing the car from rolling!! Handling will also be effected.

Must be something seriously wrong if the metal is cracked, do you mean the black buffer that the engine sits in??

Have you got the the eBay link?? Could tell by seeing picture of them. It doesnt sound right though as most deltas had bendix calipers that were the same as the big alfas and fiats. The fronts on a 172/182 are lucas, the same as some lagunas and scenics.

Its probably the anti roll bar links that bolt to the lower suspension arm. A lot of Clios had a problem where the bolts were too week and break. Renault and motor factors sell a new kit compromising of nut, bolt and rubber washer if fitted. I maybe able to get part number. Is the end of the...

I do them all round in yellow, tempted to do mine yellow aswel.

Could be suspension mounts or the top mount bearing. It could even be worn ball joints or track rod ends.

Could be sign that the battery is on its way out.

Im sure Renault charge £130??? Or you can take it to be re-manufactured (new gaitors and joints) for about £75.

Cover the wheels if left outside, rust on the discs over time jams the brakes on. I should warn you renaults dont like being driven for a long time. Shouldnt run into too many problems tbh if only 5 months.

Theres a few on here with samcos on a ph1, middo has yellow ones.

Do a search in the tuning section. Theres a guide somewhere on how to remove it.

If it has 280mm vented front discs which %90 of them do the discs and pads from a 1*2 will fit fine.

K-tec supply them.

Yeah they will, both pads and discs. Some early 1.6s had 262mm discs but i doubt yours does.

Dont use any kind of paste between the cat/manifold, you dont want that going through the cat. As above id try and re-align. While its loose put some paste on the gasket between the cat and the system. Ive done this as mine was blowing when i bought my sports cat and new gasket. I sealed it...

They look better, the rubber ones can wear out easily if things are rubbing on them (especially in cramped bays like 172/182) and eventually rubber perishes and goes soft under the heat..

Yeah the adjusting nut is in the same place, remove the shield and you will need a deep socket to tighten it. Some mk2ph1s have an adjusting nut actually on the handbrake lever.

It might be easier/cheaper to replace the seat 2nd hand if its in a popular trim that easy to get hold of.

If the car is a cat d should the seller be advising this in the advert??

Take the top mount off and have a look at it. But to be fair its too hard to say. I wouldnt drive it, only to the garage to get it done.

Yeah will be fine with a decat. Ive got a sportscat which is slightly wider than a decat and i had no probs.

While we are at it can we also ban whats my car worth threads, gauging interest threads and look how much i got my cambelt done for threads??

Your right in thinking its connected to the mid pipe and runs all the way to the cat. The backbox can be seperated from the centre section by a join just above the rear trailing arm. Theres a sleeve that can be opened so they can be pulled apart. Its a very common problem, its probably...
