So they replaced the old engine, ask to keep the old one as you can dismantle it and sell some parts.

According to dialogies the correct part number is 7703001122 for your car. If you give Renault that number they will be able to find the correct part number as it has changed to one of the numbers mentioned above.

iirc the renault head gasket kit for this engine includes the bolts.

Not anyones car but its a good pic: Whos was this?

^^Nice.

NGK Platinum PFR6E-10, nothing else.

Theres a good guide somewhere on here, i think it was written by tomtom and it had pics, try searching.

As much as it sounds stupid I miss mine a lot, I even take detours through Milton Keynes on my travels incase i see it.

GSF are selling the genuine Renault discs complete with bearings on ebay for £130 delivered. Its quite simple to fit yourself with a simple socet set, and torque wrench, you will also need a 30mm deepish socket piece. renault also recommend you change the nuts, you will need 2X 7703034258. The...

Taking the Trafic to bits at the weekend, whats the best gearbox oil to get? Do vans have to have anything special? I think the gearbox is a PK5, its a 1.9 DCI100 6 Speed and has done 120k. I would look on dialogies by my mate is borrowing my laptop.

Well done sir....they always come back...

The samco one will fit the 172mk1 but its bent slightly out of shape, a few on here have done it.

The 172mk1 gearbox is sligthly different. It has longer gear ratios but the differences are minimal.

POst a pic of your car and somebody maybe kind enough to photoshop it for you.

Whats wrong with mintex edde? I just use them because I have a friend who is a supplier and I can get them cheap, its easy to get fooled by the funky packaging but they seem better than standards pads.

Its not hard at all, there is a guide at www.fubarnet.com How high is it reading, have you checked the coolant levels, also check the fan is working. Run the car at idle and when the engine reaches over the half way mark on the temp gauge the cooling fan will come on, iirc its variable speed...

SOme brake caliper remanufacturers do electroplating but there maybe problems with the 172 brakes as i think they are aluminuim castings?

You shouldnt need to take the whole car apart, all you need to do is whip the wheel off and measure precisly with a ruler the distance between the centre of the 2 bolts holding the hub to the strut. You can do it without taking the wheels off if you have small hands and big alloy wheels.

Ive got Mintex Xtreme on mine and they are better than the standard renault ones for about the same price. I think all the clios in this country dont have wear indicators so the wires are un-needed.

Good old fashioned waxoil is best (although not on exhausts). There is no need to worry about rust on a 182, the only parts that rust quite badly are the front hubs and the rear trailing axle, but this is after 5 years or so. It is a good idea trying to protect the standard exhaust on the...

Both of the door plastic pillar sections and the glovebox. Im not too bothered just interested why it does it when cold.

It shouldnt make hardly any differance. The change in mpg is probably due to the weather getting colder...it takes longer for the engine to warm up etc.

When its cold my interior rattles and squeaks a lot more, why is this? What is the scientific reason behind it? We are talking plastic on plastic here.

That is a cracking little car, is it monaco blue?

I think it flashes anything <3degrees.

It could be a while, Renault/Nissan have a massive distribution place in Magna park in the midlands. My mate who has a Megane had to have a new pair of abs sensors that had to be ordered from france, it took 3 weeks.

How come it needs a full respray??

I wonder if Renault would notice if the car was returned with standard seats. :eek: ;)

Yeah that water pump is the right one, have you checked the pipes that go into the pump? If it is the pump you will also need 2 new bolts that hold it on 7703002480 X2 and a new aux belt 8200226493.
