It's a standard 8mm square sump plug socket. Been used for about 20 years by Renault amongst other manufacturers.
3.1 is correct.
A ring spanner fits the lambda sensor fine. You only need to crack them off before you can I do them by hand.
I've had a few in that feel almost like vtec lol. All because the timing was out. The 5k kick is due to the factory fuelling not being anywhere close to the optimum. And 5k is then where the ecu gives it the fuel it wants!
Doing an online quote like that isn't any good. As it's not specific enough. As your car would still be showing as a 1.2.
Do the 172, it'll be worth more in the long run.
Drive it with the intake pipe off on the inlet. It'll be slit your wrists slow, but it'll eliminate anything pre inlet manifold blowing oil in. If you're going to eBay it, text me a price :)
Brand new turbo?
Did you clean out the intercooler & pipework?
How bad was the old unit?
I wouldn't touch the injectors. You just have to look at them funny and they break. Just check the 17mm nut is tight on the input pipe
You can, but I don't think it'll be high enough on stands.
On the linkage, don't undo the 13mm nut that you can see. Follow it to the gearbox, and there is a rubber boot. Pull that forwards and to the gearbox side and it'll reveal another 13mm nut. Undo this and you won't have to do any...
