Nope but iirc on Renault dialogies it shows one is available.

On a 172 the revs are limited to 6700rpm until the coolant temp has reached 75C. When at temperature the revs are limited to 7200rpm in 1st and 2nd gear and 7000rpm in 3-5th. The gear change indicator lights up 300rpm before the limit. I cant imagine the 182 being much different.

Also its possible in that location that oil was spilt from filling it up on a service.

Also check the steering rack mounts. the rubber can crack and cause the symtoms your descirbing. Tighten the subframe bolts to see if this temporarily resolves the issue proving its the mounts.

Try a bit of grease on the threads. ANother problem is they can corrode quite badly after a while.

No idea why renault changed it, they prefered to use a ph1 setup on some of the cup race cars for a while. Some say the ph1 box sounds nicer but a ph1 doesnt have accustic valve. Thats a good point, on a ph1 they have some nylon wrapped round the pipe and a plastic clip to protect the hose...

Renault warrant body corrosion on all 172/182s for 12 years. (as long as has a frsh).

Are you using the 172 phase 1 elbow? As thats also different.

Try searching the media section, someone posted some pics a while back of one that was cracked open iirc.

As above, the renault discs come complete with the bearings so its just a case of sliding the old disc off and popping the new ones on. Just remember to put the washers the right way round and its good practise to replace the lock nuts.

After you have gone for a drive jack the rear up, and see if you can spin the wheel fairly easily. If the wheel spins with little resistance its fine.

As above make sure it is both of the lower ball joints, not to be confused with track rod ends. If it is the lower ball joints best to get from renault as you get a whole new lower arm with all new bushes etc.

Try taking the breather pipe off helps displace the air in the box. Slowly pour it in until it pours out the fill hole, go for a drive and when you get back top it up anymore until it pours out the fill hole.

Theres normally some on ebay.

I like, is it on apex springs?

If the steering wheel doesnt centre after having the tracking done then they havnt done it properly. They need to adjust both sides in/out to get the steering wheel spot on.

Its very easy, its just 1 nut at the top in the boot and 1 bolt at the bottom on the rear arm.

^You have a point, just seen how far stowmarket is!! Depends, sometimes you can get cheap flights for around a tenner.

Id go and view it at that price. Read my buyers guide in the guide section and familiarise yourself with the common issues.

Are the universal lambdas any good. It is suprising how much difference they make, especially for the cars that have 2 sensors.

What big engined tax emempt cars were made before 1973??? Edit: Does anyone know how much it is to insure a 1945 Sherman Tank?

When was your 172 registered? 90% of them have just 1 downstream lambda sensor, the later ones had both. Does it have the standard cat? Did you take if for a good drive before the test?

You'll have no problems, ive done it.

:approve: 90% of 172mk1s will not be effected. As most were registered before march 2001 when they did not measure it by emissions, it went on engine size.

Welcome to the club. Any pics of the cup?

iirc is between £15-£25. It comes with the black backing plate.

SHouldnt be too hard on that engine, might have to remove the airbox and move the odd coolant pipe to the side, you shouldnt have any trouble from the top.

Its quite easy to do, its only held on with 2 bolts. They are not much from Renault, £25 from memory. Have you tried cleaning it first?

Which covers do you mean, above the rear windows?
