Was wondering if anyone could tell me where pin 7 of the 15 track connector on the instrument panel (red - not the 30pin one) goes to on the ecu? for a ph1 172 (CB0M) cheers :o (or alternatively tell me which ecu pin is the flow meter data)

Spotted this afternoon outside waitrose :approve:

spotted a silver ph1 172 covered in chequered stickers along epping new road then saw a blue 182 heading towards loughton then saw a blue mk3 again with chequered stickers over the rear quarter all within about a minute of each other this afternoon.... something going on? :quiet:

sorry for the rubbish title :D was browsing dialogys and I noticed this thing on the clutch page #7... FAUX RLT 40-17 £0.73 not seen one before and I dont think i've got one... what is it and is my clutch about to blow up cause i've not got one? :dead:

I was just wondering how the mk2 trip computer calculates current mpg etc..? obviously it needs to know speed and fuel usage. speed is obtained via the speed sensor in the gearbox (for a ph1) and is fed into the ecu. how is it then transmitted to the dash? I guess the fuel consumption...

trying to connect the laptop up to the diagnostic port but not having much luck :( I think it's vista that's the problem. I have this cable: 'vag com' I know, but it still has the connections for standard OBD2 (pin 7 and 15) and is just a serial<->usb adapter anyway really. the connector...

next to me in traffic heading east at about 5pm ish

Spotted today - blue mk2 - number '51' anyone off here?

spotted today queuing for the bridge! on a cup of all things ;)

Spotted on Saturday at about 10:30am I guess heading north

I've been trying to do the timing on my F4R, but I get the feeling the belt is too loose :dapprove: - every time I remove the cam locking tools, the cams rotate against each other and the timing goes! :( - I rotate the cambelt over a few times to distribute the tension as well got me...

I'm after the pulley locking tool for an F4R... is it a Renault only part or will other places do it? - can I get the tool on it's own (i've got the cam and crankshaft locking tools already) and roughly how much is it? :o or is anyone feeling kind and fancy lending me the tool? :D (Essex/London...

we met at a roundabout at about 11pm tonight! :D looked nice!

Does anyone have a picture of a ph1 172 injector rail? I'm just looking for how the fuel lines attaches (and where) also, could anyone tell me which way round the fuel lines go? is feed at the cambelt end like a mk1? cheers :o

spotted at about midday I guess

does anyone know the part number of the fuel rail for the 172. I'm after the one that has the regulator built in (so 2 fuel lines)... and an approx price :o cheers!

as above, just wondering if they're the same running out of ideas as to why my idle is so lumpy :(

I rebuilt my F4R 730 engine and ever since its been running like crap :dapprove: on idle it can be very lumpy, other times more acceptable with an occasional *slight* misfire that you can hear from listening to the exhaust. When driving it can be a nightmare. It seems to be throttle...

I've just had one of those awful moments... you know the ones where you can't be sure if you've done something or not anyhow. When assembling my engine today, I took my time and did it all by the book, however, I cannot for the life of me remember checking one of the pistons to make sure the...

when pulling my engine loom out, i accidentally pulled off the new bit of loom you can buy for the updated TDC sensor (172) I've got 2 wires on the original loom - orange and white and the loom for the TDC sensor has A (cream) and B (pink) can anyone tell me which way they're meant to go...

on a 172, the BE has some 'locating cylinders' so that you can properly align the head (I think? :D) my BE and head have come back from being decked and skimmed and these are missing... are they vital? can I just bolt the head on as normal? or will it not align properly or something? :S

Was behind you in traffic today along Sackville road at about 2pm. noticed the pink cs.net sticker :D

I've reused my head gasket about 3 times now. the first 2 times it was only in use for a few miles and the 3 time... about 300 miles I think. I've since had to take the engine apart again to get it honed and fit new piston rings. the gasket *looks* ok. the block has been decked and the head...

Looking for the torque settings for the mains and big ends, can i just use the F7 values? also, can i reuse the bolts?

the fuel pump on the 172 mk1 failed on the way home from FCS :( it's a mk1 ph1 effort, so 1.2 bar i think - is this adequate for a 172? also, does anyone know what the ph1 172 fuel rail runs at? - just wondering if my performance issues could be down to a weak fuel supply?!

saw 2 this morning on my 2 mile trip to get petrol - both in Saltdean

wasnt sure whether to put this in here or in media, but im more after the mechanical side of it than pimping a video! did a few speed runs tonight with some videos tbh, its s**t :( very very slow for what it is imo. it doesnt like 3rd at all. my downpipe is not sealed at all and is...

my circlip on my jb3 box went the other night and I've been searching for a definative solution without much joy! It's my understanding that the circlip is pushed out by the bit that the driveshaft slots in to due to the tapered cogs? my circlip and washer look imaculate, as does the diff...

what's it for? will my engine blow up if i remove/disconnect it?
