xenon lights normally have a lever on the rear of the headlight itself to change the beam pattern to left hand drive. i know the latest laguna and espace have them but id have to have a look at a clio to be defo sure they have as well.
how old is the clio? old clio sattalites up to clio 2 phase 1 are held in place by a 20 torx screw. clio 2 phase 2 sattalites are just held in place by a plastic tab.
the only failure points i can see are the blowing exhaust and the seatbelt. if the headlights work and there are no bare wires etc they should pass. they may need the beam level adjusting though.
cam that you would buy are normally reprofiled due to the costs
excessive heat? who told you that load of b****cks?
you will normally notice a difference with a decat. quite a few people on here have got them
is the fan free? if the motor is stiff it can draw to much current and blow the fuse. 12v is the voltage,current flow is meassured in amps. there is no amp ratings in renault documentation im afraid. also look for any short circuits eg-wires rubbed through,water/corrosion in connectors,short...
that fuse is most likely for the injection locking relay. it is one of the small black relays you can see in the bottem right hand side of your pic. will have to check on the diagram at work to be more exact than that.
one wire (the pink one) is for the oil pressure switch. unsure on the other wire though as mine only has one wire down there. the only other wires close to that area are the pas pressurestat or the alternator but both would have to have become disconnected to get over there. all these wires...
yes you can. dont use the sunroof when its on though or at least check the glass doesnt hit it when fully open. i think renault do one but there are also non gen versions around.
forgot to mention in my other post that the compressor is driven by the engine via a rubber belt. the drain the compressor gives on the engine is meassurred in watts and can be shown on renault diag equipment.
an aircon system uses a refridegarant called r134a. this evaporates at -30c. there are two versions of the system. the one explained is the later version that will be on your 172.this is basically how it works:-
1,the r134a comes out of the compressor in gas form at about 10-15 bar pressure...
good point. did you undo the 13m pinch bolt on the linkage or the 13m bolt behind the gaitor on the gear linkage just below the gearbox. you should undo the one behind the gaitor. if you undo the other one then you have to adjust the linkage back up.
