That deffo sounds like it's failed internally if it's leaking from there https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145809196216?var=0&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&campid=5338268676&toolid=10044&customid=CjwKCAjw1emzBhB8EiwAHwZZxSzOpFygkfWCfYH-E7qfk-aKRFGXtj0ZfBMNcVULzzkA5SwHrUbO_hoC8bgQAvD_BwE

I have seen them in that gold colour or the remnants of it before on a few Valvers, was only a yellow zinc electro plating though & I can't recall if I've seen it on any Williams' or not. I've got brand new calipers for mine and all of the ones I could find for sale were silver plated in colour...

Piper is what you want, probably the best quality aftermarket stuff I've seen for a 172 - admittedly I've not seen a lot but I'm very happy with mine https://cp-performance.co.uk/product/cp-performance-renaultsport-clio-172-piper-stealth-stainless-steel-exhaust-system/

I run it as is, just as a manual rack basically. The reason for the pas column is that they're shorter than the manual column so it's just for fitment that it's needed

I fitted the ph1 Valver/Williams ones to my dci rack but because of the Bridgecraft bits you've got it'll depend on what the measurements are to determine which inners you'd need

Bin that rack & fit the dci 1 as it's better but you will need a Valver power steering column as well. Then it's just a case of fitting the appropriate track rods & ends

Yeah, being a ph2 it should have the male 245mm inner track rod on it so should be a decent reference point for measuring from

I can't really help with that one tbh, all I know is that it has to be Ph1 172 shafts to do the conversion but I have no idea what the measurements are As for using the Bridgecraft track rod ends, I've been looking up the specs of stuff from a Moog parts catalogue and I'm making some...

This is the fewest turns 7700437054 and the other is 7700437055 - they're from the DCi's and 1.2's as far as I know - you have to use the standard Valver power steering column with them though hence what I was saying about if yours has a normal power steering rack blanked off or an actual manual...

The Williams rack is the same as the Valver, the Williams just uses the track rods & ends from the Ph1 Valver which are female inners & male outers. It's the ph2 ones that don't work safely on a widetrack Your rack will either be a normal Williams/Valver power steering rack that's had the...

It's complicated because of the other bits needed to make it all work together :ROFLMAO: but the simplest explanation is From Valver to Williams, the track is widened by wider wishbones - all the other stuff like shafts etc is just what's needed to make those work The 1*2 wishbones are the...

All Mk1 subframes are identical in size & shape, it's just the Williams ones that have some extra bits welded onto it for extra strength. The Mk2 is a wider car so the shaft lengths that will fit on a Mk1 is affected by that difference - I can't remember the difference (I've got it written down...

The problem with the BTCC engines is that yes they do make 300-320bhp but internally they're completely different to the normal F7R's and they only have a running lifespan of about 4 hours. This is what the head on them looks like The Clio & Megane Maxi cars were 270-180bhp depending on...

The Megane heads have the biggest inlet valves at 33mm, they actually have smaller ports but this actually makes them flow a lot better. The F7R heads drop straight on, they're nothing special or fancy as they're made from the same castings as the F7P's so all the water & oil galleries are in...

The dye is evil stuff if you get it on anything other than what you're trying to dye and it changes your skin colour for about a week so be careful :ROFLMAO:

Yes you'll need 2 of them and the reservoir is just a push fit - it is a bit of a t**t to get off, especially if you've got big hands so just persevere with it

The seals from the reservoir to the master cylinder are available separately, part number is 77 01 041 223. Bosch is the OEM for the 1*2 master cylinder You don't really want to think of the 197 master cylinder as an upgrade, more of something that will change the pedal feel as it's designed...

No, it's actually a used item from a breaker that was in half decent condition and I gave it a refresh with some of this stuff...

f**k you Richard! 🖕🤬😘 https://www.autodoc.co.uk/moog/11539719 https://www.autodoc.co.uk/moog/11539700 https://www.autodoc.co.uk/moog/7435252 https://www.autodoc.co.uk/moog/11539696 https://www.autodoc.co.uk/moog/11539591

Does anyone know the correct sizes for the steering rack boots on a 172 Cup? I've managed to find 7 different sizes that apparently all fit according to the various sites so it's as clear as mud 🙄 I'll be able to narrow it down a bit if anyone knows if they're supposed to be the the same size...

Go back & have a look at the holes in the hub where the ball joint goes into it, I had a similar issue, fired the parts cannon at it with no success but eventually found the problem. I had the passenger side of the car jacked up (noise was coming from there) & was underneath with a prybar and...

It's just an ordinary pattern part standard replacement, generic Euro car parts special

The Meerkats have been doing me proud for the past 6 years, latest policy on my 172 Cup is with Co-Op (I think) at £231 fully comp, 8,000 miles per year with 10 years protected no claims and only modification is the exhaust. Flux wanted £960, Greenlight were £680 and my renewal from Sainsbury's...

I've done a bit of tidying up in the engine bay getting it ready to drop the new engine in

Small update & start of the wiring job

I'm tempted to buy one purely because of the brand name of it :ROFLMAO:

They're legally obliged to continue supplying parts for 10 years after the last of a particular car is made, after that it's down to good luck & they're basically allowed to give you the middle finger

Aaahh gotcha! Yeah number 2 is what adjusts it, as for which way? I couldn't tell you as I haven't tried it yet. I was about to have a go at it trial & error style but ran into a problem of losing compression on cylinder 3 so been concentrating on fixing that & not bothered playing with the brakes

The spring & lever is supposed to be disconnected on a Cup, the braking effort to the rear is fixed which is the reason for the MOT bulletin thingy. You can adjust the braking effort by undoing the big lock nut on the bottom of the compensator then wind the threaded bit in or out with a 5 or...

You jammy b*****d!! 🤯🤯🤯 I desperately wanted to call bullshit on finding the compensator for £50 so went on ecp & there it is at £49.49 😲 Tried to buy 1 just because I previously paid £160 for the same one & it's out of stock 😭 I'd suggest having another go at bleeding the passenger rear...
