At 19 with 2ncb I payed £1600 for my old 172, ncb is the key here.

I'd go with rod bolt failure and its throw said rod. What conditions did it fail under? Had it had prolonger high rpm use? Mods?

For the money you've got allocated and the general idea tbh, no. Better spent elsewhere.

As said it'll invalidate any insurance you may have as the car is running unattended, and £300 won't even begin to cover a decemt clifford install. And in my experience with them its all down to who fitted it and how good a job they did, otherwise they'll be nothing but trouble.

I payed £1700 ner ner. (helpful i know)

I'd also check the actual master cylinder too, may be not giving equal pressure to the two circuits and locking on set up? Something to look at possibly.

Is the vacuum feed still onto the servo? Very hard pedal sounds like a lack of assistance, probably wouldn't cause abs issues though.

The pretty much same happened to my mate in his old vti, except it hit the lower grill instead was a lovely job scraping all the blood and s**t out. Left him too that one funnily enough!

Re: Project 172 **** Update page 7 -ITB'S **** This still on standard cams? Looks a decent install keeping the a/c.

They've got a plastic outer casing that can be reused yes, although everytime i'd had one from renault its came complete. A lot of the 3rd party ones are just the element though yes. Personally the renault metal filters are far far too short to go bashing screwdrivers through without the...

The 225 does it nicely when the exhausts hot on H&T downshifts, did it for england on vpower racing fuel at the ring (100+ ron I believe? cost enough!)

pikey ftw

Probably just the splines on the input shaft of the box aren't lined up with those on the inside of the friction plate, try turning the input shaft a bit a trying again. Otherwise keep jiggling and it will go on!

With all the ones i've fitted they tend to bind like that when first fitted, if you jack just the trailing arm up whilst the car is still on the stands the spring tends to seat properly once the platform is vertical enough.

The gearstick having a bit of play in it is normal, i've had 3 and never killed a box yet so its all down to driving style. As long as you treat it with some mechanical symphathy it'll last just fine.

That is absolutely fvcking mint! Lucky git!

There is no abs is why there on.

I'm sure he won't mind me stealing this pic but just to give you an idea So I very much doubt he's got a s/a/s connected :D. Its and F4R'd Mk1 and he's after using the Ph1 172 clocks so just needs to get the lights off for cosmetic reasons.

The ABS fault light is putting the SERV light on and the brake fault is putting the STOP light on so don't worry about those too much. I think the abs light needs grounding but don't quote me on it, as for the brake fluid level i'm not sure where that goes with the diagrams in front of me. If it...

Must admit i'm not quite sure what you mean by active or passive but its got a 12v feed to it I seem to remember whether than makes it active or not?

Theres also the amplifier in the aerial base that could be shot.

Off the top of my head and its been a while since i've looked the refurb kit is £35 but thats not concrete. And I can't get to dialogys atm to look it up for you.

As long as the springs seat in the raised section on the beam then there shouldn't be a problem. The rubber wants to go on the bottom if your not using the adjuster then.

It'll 110% be the older 8v energy lump. The 16v one didn't come in until 2000 or thereabouts.

No

Doesn't as far as i'm aware, mapping and fitting of certain stuff only I believe. Does very good work though!

Re: Windows 7 on MSDN Now! Been using it for a week, i'm very impressed actually. What vista should have been, the media centre improvements are vast which is nice to see its become less of a bodged on afterthought that it started out as.

Only an RS rack will fit i'm afraid, don't think they're specific over the revisions though but don't quote me on it.

Wasn't on about the video really, just my experience.

Got Dale to take me out in that or one of the R26.Rs they had when I was over there last month, fooking amazing driver! Really shows how much faster having talent makes you!
