put the standard rear lights in and replaced the aftermarket 17" alloys with some standard 172 alloys. Its going to the body shop at the weekend to remove dents,tidy it up and spray and fit a cup spoiler. Because of this i couldnt polish/wax etc so excuse the grubby-ness. FROM: TO: (lowered...

hmm i think it could be a lamba sensor as it seems to be over fueling as im getting below 15 mpg and when i parked it in the garage for literally 20 seconds the whole garage stunk of petrol. ??? /carl

The cars been running fine so i decided to fit my 172 alloys and give the arches a clean. after pressure washing the arches and wheels when starting the car the engine management light came on and stayed on. the car still seems to be running fine so im not sure. is it just a matter or crap...

:lolup::lolup::lolup:

that looks awesome :)

after a lot of scratching heads on trying to find out why it was misfiring i decided to take the 172 to a local renault specialist. Plugged it into a clip computer and the only error shown was the misfire. The guy working there did some scatching of heads and came up with the conclusion that...

wtf :S that is so harsh and random. /carl

comes with an LED and a sticker :) /carl

update: took it to a renault specialist, put it through the clip computer. Only fault showing the misfire. Had a quick check and the guy there sprayed so liquid towards the bottom manifold gasket. the engine would change its tone when cosntantly squirting the liquid towards what seemed to be a...

if you want you can test it on a silver 172 ;) /carl

indeed! mind you im putting trophy turinis, cup spoiler,CF splitter and standard lights so will look as good/if not better than my rep :) /carl

hmm may be worth checking that then, plan for tomorrow is to do a compression test (think that may be a problem?) and then mess around doing other checks. If they fail ill take it to a renault specialist later on the day to get it plugged into the diag computer. /carl

how would you check them without a dianostic computer? /carl

i have two sets of coilpack + HT leads and both are not helping :( /carl

yeah thats what i changed first with no success =(

hey, My 172 is now running but im currently struggling with it misfiring. The problem is that it is only running on 3 cylinders it seems. The engine management light turns itself on after a while and flashes when driving and building up the rev's. I have changed the coilpack and the spark plugs...

another update, the car is misfiring on low rev's 1k-3k. Seems to be running on 3 cylinders. changed the coilpack and changed the plugs. the engine management light comes on after so long when driving it. /carl

right, tried the coil pack and it is still doing the same. any ideas? /carl

bump

After driving my 172 yesterday everything seemed fine but today when i took it out it seems to have a misfire :S Seems to be running on 2-3 cylinders and its running lumpy. Ive read a few posts on here and seems to be the coilpack, ive got a spare coil pack so i will be trying that later on...

the insurance is with Bell so will have to have a look :) high excess is the only way i can get Fully Comp at 18 insuring a 172

the excess im looking at is 1k but still not sure. /carl

As im now looking for insurance for a 172, im expecting a stupid amount of money to insure it but oh well. Im ideally looking for a fully comp insurance so i want to make sure i know exactly what my insurance covers. I can get the price down alot of my insurance by upping the excess to...

so are these actually road legal? as they dont stick out past the bumper so it cant be for safety reasons :S /carl

Wednesday 6th Feburary Good news! as posted earlier the car is now running after getting a new very expensive starter motor. :cool: So today and yesterday have been about fixing the car up and getting it back on its feet. The front lights, bumper and bonnet were all fitted and today fitted the...
