I was hoping you would reply dan. I'll make sure the sills are good.
Will do. I've seen the buyers guide on the willie forum now so there's quite abit bit. The bloke said there loads of history so when I view it on Friday I'll make sure I check everything.
Hi, I'm looking into buying a Williams 2 that's local for sale. Is there anything to look out for apart from the sunroof leaking and the rear arches? The one I'm looking at has only had 3 owners from new and has full service history and looks very well looked after.
Thanks tommy

It would make sense with the pop and bang map. Yeah defo worth taking the dash out. Nice saving plus feels nice and roomy lol. Cheers for all the help/advice :)
Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) 191.2 Bhp & 173.4 Torque
I've not done the lamba yet but will tomorow. It does seem an electrical fault. Does mick at diamond offer a mobile service as the only way I can get it too him is to have it trailered to him.
Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) 191.2 Bhp & 173.4 Torque
I checked the earths today inside the car and made sure the paint was fully removed so it had a bare metal surface. I havnt chopped any of the loom apart from there was 4 wires to do with the alarm that I had to snip to be able to remove the...

Today I fit the new crank sensor/loom, pedal and checked every relay and fuse and cleaned all of the them. Would resetting the codes make it start and idle properley?
Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) 191.2 Bhp & 173.4 Torque
I didn't mate no ill get a code reader off a mate tomorow and see if it helps. It's really temperamental. When you turn the key sometimes it cranks over sometimes it does nothing then after about 10 or so goes it randomly starts but sticks at 2k...
Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) 191.2 Bhp & 173.4 Torque
f**king car is still doing the same thing so I've lost all patience with it! Going to have to get it trailered somewhere ;(
Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) 191.2 Bhp & 173.4 Torque
Thanks mate, how have you been? how's the s1? Yeah I sold my Saxo to arron so you may have my old engine.
Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) 191.2 Bhp & 173.4 Torque
Cheers bud. Yeah heard alot about the loom but as long as its done properley it should be fine. I do want to get rid of the alarm. I'll have to find out if it affects in imob.
Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) 191.2 Bhp & 173.4 Torque
Got the bits through from renparts. Thanks again for the great service. Just phoned Renault about the bonnet catch recall and mine was checked in 2008 so carnt blag a new one even tho I'm getting aerocatches lol. Might give the clio it's first...
Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) 191.2 Bhp & 173.4 Torque
I've not checked to be honest mate. Weirdly there was 3 wires where it looked like someone had wired something in but they looped it around the dash plastic. for me to remove the dash I had to snip the wire then reattach it. But when I reattached...
Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) 191.2 Bhp & 173.4 Torque
Lol it's tempting
Thanks mate I hope so too lol. Just hope to f**k its not the loom/ecu/uch box. I'll see how I get on with the top dash. I never had problems with the Saxo but if I do in the clio I'll just spray that part matt black
Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) 191.2 Bhp & 173.4 Torque
Well still having trouble after fitting the tb. It now wont even register the throttle pedal ;( it also dosent register any revs on the speedo. when turning it over now its a b**ch to start. getting soooo fed up with it atm. Ordered an upstream...
Mine did the same as yours len_beach. Mine turned out to be the interior earths. I just creates 3 holes and self tapped screws in. Havnt cut it down yet but will post in here if I have any problems.
I know this thread is old but you can get DAF trucks xf105 washer jets for about £10 each and they clip onto the arm. Used to have them on my euro'd clio
Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) 191.2 Bhp & 173.4 Torque
Thanks mate. Will be going through the loom once it's running again. Going to wrap the whole lot like I did in my Saxo.
Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) 191.2 Bhp & 173.4 Torque
The passenger airbag unit weighed 3.5 kg. hefty thing weighing as much as the dash metal brace. In just going to remove the bulb in mine :)
Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) 191.2 Bhp & 173.4 Torque
cheers sonny it was about 26kg really good saving!
Yeah airbag light has been on since I did the seats with the per tensioners. The light doesn't bother me but you could take out the bulb or put black tape behind the lens to stop light shining...
Re: My 172 Cup (T5MY G) 191.2 Bhp & 173.4 Torque
Going to get a new throttle body to see if that cures the fault. On a plus side I got a big weight saving :)
I shed 31.9 kg's :) by removing full dash setup and front door cards etc.
Car was weighed at bang on 960kg by Northampton Motorsport...
