sounds like you have not bled the brakes properly or you on about the small ammount of play they have?

keep the cable throttle body go for a 172 phase1 engine and loom , it will be easy enough to integrate with the meganes dash and Abs/ airbag systems. The imobiliser situation will be harder, you will need the decoder ring, key and Ecu from the phase one 172 to get it started. the Fuel pump will...

the uch replaces relays etc that work all the interior components such as heating and wipers. the internal loom is different i would retro the old loom to the 172 and the 172's ecu. which 172 is the donor parts from and does your car have a cable throttle or electronic? also which megane is it...

what dont you understand about the loom? and does your megane have a UCH or a load of relays as part of the internal wiring loom?

what year megane is it? the engine will physically fit but the electronics are different, the 172 loom can be used and the ease of this depends on the year of car

Ill post a photo of the one o did for my girlfriend tomorrow

so the obvious benefit is that the engine gets into its powerband quicker, there are so many myths surrounding car tuning its untrue

what they say and what they do are 2 different things, i had no spare as it was already puntured they put me on a flatbed and took me home 40 miles away, my cover only covers 10 miles

getting the wipers off is the hardest part, i took mine to rac auto windscreens and bunged the guy a tenner to get them off with their special tool scuttle pannel comes off easy wipers go back on easy

Andy would you like your car looking like this?

is the internal loom the mk2 one and the engine loom the mk1 one? if so where they connect under the scuttle pannel, the connector is different , if you go for a mk1 172 loom on the inside the connectors for the controls inside are different airbags etc and the mk1 172 has no UCH. Like matt says...

yes but you will need to change the UCH and the ABS computer and the internal and ABS loom , also you will need the under pedal switch and clocks

will you be using a de-cat or normal cat? the flange on the 182 mani is different where it meets the cat than it is on the 172 manifold so you need to fit a 182 cat or a decat pipe that is modified to fit the old middle section of the exhaust. Fitting it entales removing the subframe which can...

ive wrapped my manifold it cost about £100 in wrap and locking strips and the manifold needs to be off the car to do a decent job, the clio's engine bay is very small so i doubt it keeps the bay temperatures down too much but it helps gas flow

get them chrome plated, will only cost you 10-20 notes depending on where you go
