Fair enough if they were sold as "with fasteners." Finding an actual shop with a decent bolt collection is annoyingly difficult these days, but shouldn't be too hard to find some M12x1.5 capheads with a tapered washer face. Easy enough to measure the countersink angle with a straight edge and...

Oh dear. Someone is having you on. No more needs to be said really. Guarantee it's not a good deal either. Was this by email by any chance? From a prince residing in a central African country? ;)

Post 1 & 2. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?734723-Spacers-Advice-Help-Needed&p=10135420&viewfull=1#post10135420 Not FK by the sounds of things but same principle.

Tax? Warranty? Financed? Service history (presume not)? Why on earth he's selling a brand new car on ebay of all places? The above will help prospective buyers.

EFA. Fuel gauges are notoriously inaccurate and non-linear. Fun fact time ;) ... Trip computers generally use injector pulse width to calculate fuel used (the ECU knows how long it has asked each injector to be open for, it knows an approximate mass flow rate for that injector and an...

I think it's fairly obvious what has happened here... Ktec have ignored your "lowz innit" request ;) and fitted them at a ride height that: * maintains reasonable suspension geometry * maintains reasonable rake * will give minimal bumpsteer * can still go over speed humps * can still get up a...

There's an RS grill in the FS section for £35 posted. Can't remember who, but it's in a thread title with an RS tuner & Whiteline RARB.

Clock & temp will work. Radio/CD display won't. Fortunately the two black/white 8 pin female plugs in picture 1 are an ISO standard so will plug straight into the 16 pin male connector on the new headunit. The steering wheel stalk control kit (not really appropriate to call that mess of wiring...

Yes & yes. Been done loads of times. There is currently a sort of "Gaz discount for CS members" thread about the new Gaz kits & coilover rears. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?742893-Gaz-GHA-coilover-kit-for-172s-182s-New-(Now-with-added-pics)&p=10265381&viewfull=1#post10265381...

VCI doesn't need to be unlocked for reading codes on a Renault, only for remaps.

Apologies if this info is too basic, I'm not 100% sure which aspect you're struggling on. The bolt spacing refers to to the "hole centre spacing" between the two clearance holes on the bottom of the damper and the top of the hub through which two (looked about M12 IIRC) bolts & nuts go to...

Which is ironic, because very few seem to know how to upload pictures to a forum these days?

Sounds like she'd fit right in on CS!

Is there not also still a 1.2 TCE in available for the mk4? Oh well. Point still stands, OP could do with more info to help people help him. Nearly as bad as the "I bought £20 of petrol and now after driving the car my fuel gauge has gone down" thread.

You thinking of getting rid? You probs should. My 182 is far more economical. It can go for several weeks if not months on a tank of petrol. The pads, tyres and consumables are mega as well - sometimes they don't wear a single micron for weeks at a time too. In fact how's this for a plan...

So this is what you do when the internet in France breaks :rasp:

Perhaps read the box a bit more carefully to try to determine specifically what mark/phase Clio it is designed for. You're not giving people much to help you with. Perhaps a link to the induction kit on K&N's website and the year/letter of registration. This is a "1.2 clio" This is...

EFA. I'm sure you don't need me to point out that 2 x 5 = 10. Every Clio RS upto an 04 plate should have had it's belts changed twice now. I suspect this is what Daelo was getting at, though his grammar was dangerously close to implying you need 10 belt changes per year! :rasp...

I think you've pasted the wrong link? It just goes to a page showing all of their aluminium neck filters. IIRC the RS2 came with the 0171 and is prrety much the best match size wise hence many used that particular filter to make a DIY setup when the ktec kit first came out...

Did they offer any description of said "damage?" I.e. this thread can go one of two very different ways: either there's a large burnt looking area stemming from the bulbs along with lots of melted wiring ...or they're just trying to have you on. Emissions light. Does it have a decat?

^^^ Sorry, very late to the party with that comment! (though the car still looks lovely) Tabbed browsing backfiring on me once again xD

Glad to see you held out for the "right" car but a shame to see that the big belts/dephaser bill is a few years sooner than you may have thought. However looks very clean and very cared for from what I read of the ad! *I don't know nor have any need to know how much you paid so this could have...

Perhaps more intriguingly your symptoms do not sound anything like a dephaser. 2700-3000rpm is typically catalyst-manifold gasket. £17 part. OEM only. Dephaser rattle is loudest at idle and the more you rev the engine the more the noise goes away. By 3000 rpm you almost definitely can't hear...

Dephaser sounds like a diesel. To me a "cricket" would sound slower and higher pitch?

Were there any other 172s/182s there? ;)

You're probably going to get a hundred suggestions, 95 of them will say check the cam timing. Apologies if you're already aware, but these engines are extremely sensitive to tiny variations in cam timing hence it's so strongly recommended to have the cambelt changed by a specialist or at a...

To add to the above... So you can still check whether the lambda sensor is working correctly (there's an ISO standard describing the minimum amplitude and frequency at which the signal should fluctuate) but not what the actual AFR is as the sensor only tells the engine "rich or lean." You can...

A hybrid of these two. Bolt spacing IS given as centre to centre. However if you have two holes it is more accurate to measure top to top (or bottom to bottom) then subtract the diameter. It's more accurate because you don't have to guess where the centre is. All redundant for your...

What exhaust is it? Scorpion RS192, SRN019, BTM Performance exhaust and a few others are often commended on being raspy but not boomy. The solution could simply be to buy a better quality exhaust designed for a different type of noise (you can have raspy without it being boomy and to some...

Well if the trailing pickup has two options then that inclines the wishbone in the horizontal plane when viewed side on (XY plane in SAE coordinates) which is clearly intended for anti dive. Granted it will likely move the roll centre ever so slightly, but will make a far bigger difference to...
