any damage to seals etc would cause a visible oil leak on the engine. think he has looked but you never know.

do you thinks its a bearing noise? could be in the gearbox if your unlucky.

i doubt you will find any official statement from renault as to how long a clutch will last as a lot depends on how it is driven etc.

some models didnt have it i think,certain year or something

be alright that. but isnt there a breather pipe coming out of the head which goes in that small hole on the black box. you need to do something with that like use a pipe to vent it off somewhere or oil could collect on top of the exhaust manifold.

for the actual lights only the original vehicle loom connector can be used cant it?

the 2.2 dci engine is horrible. they clog up with crap,there noisy,unreliable and a big. fitting that in a clio engine bay would be fun. the 1.9dci is so much better in every respect and a good 1.9dci isnt much slower than a 2.2. in fact in all the lower gears you cant really tell the...

if it still has old type c in it then yellow. all new renault coolant is type d which a light green colour

so youve checked the circlip and that the diff centre is in place ok? is the o/s shaft secure on the gearbox? eg-drive splines not stripped etc? if everything externally is ok then the fault will be within the diff assembly

??? the connectors are just needed to fit the self level which is what I AM going to do you do what you want! if your just fitting the lights thats it then the original vehicle connectors fit.

conventional bleeding. the tiny amount of fluid within the abs block which wont remove on conventional bleeding is so tiny it will make no difference. Activation of solenoids,pump etc with clip is only really needed if its a new pump or its been completly drained of fluid. Dont fully drain...

fitted apex springs to our lasses 1.2 clio. the ride is good not a boneshaker at all.

oh well never mind i tryed

pentrating oil and lots of abuse should shift it eventually. pain the arse though i know.

the max allowed by renault is 1l per 750 miles. Keep a record of how much you use per 750 miles. Personally though mine doesnt seem to use any.

abs test yes but we have had a few where the abs pump catches on its bracket so amplifying the noise. there is a solution on renault net that your dealer can access.

1.2 bar over atmospheric pressure. you will find a lot of pressure gauges zero on the gauge is actually atmospheric pressure 1000mbar

according to james post the self level/washers systems only apply to systems fitted at production. The actual xenon light wiring circuit is the same as other cars up to the headlight connector.On a car without xenons (clio anyway) there is no wiring in place for the self level. The wiring layout...

think im going for this its just a shame its an exchange basis

this might be because ive just drove fairly new ones but the 182 seems a bit flatter up to 4k compared to my 172. after that though the 182 springs into life. its like theyve sacrificed a bit before 4k to gain higher up. probably just me though so no handbags out!

use one screwdriver to wind the piston and another screwdriver or some big grips to apply pressure to the piston.

£1200 a good price. The proper retail price of a renault recon 172 engine is aroud £2500 your aux belt should be changed at 36k,was it changed? have you full service history? what is your mileage? if the mileage is low and service history etc is ok then renault may stump up some wonga...

never seen the other threads. Whats the full story on that then anyone know?

thought they planned a 1000. weve sold about 6 already not sure what the price is though. ill find out.

there ok just check for service history etc (aux belt/cambelt changes). other than that the usual like accident damage/repairs

i really like the trophy considering getting one just seeing what deal work will do me.

we must be lucky with 182 at the mo. changed 2 oxygen sensors and 1 injector but thats it no other problems yet. i suppose the throttle body fault etc from 172 will apply as they are the same parts after all.

i like it. just got one in today for a demo car

oh right. just recognised him from pics a while ago

reckon i seen you at the rsc/rtoc rr day this morning? never actually spoke to you before but i recognise your face from forum pics jay
