dead easy to change and a universal barrel would be about £30 i think. pm me your details and ill have a look.

electronic sensor for the speed that fits in the hole on the gearbox where the speedo cable would fit on older models.

they are just a rough estimate as far as renault is concerned but they do seem pretty accurate. i average about 35mpg in my cup but it does get a fair bit of boot.

could well be. you need to jack it up and check to be sure.

fitted some of those k-tec springs to my mates 172 and they seem ok. rides not as harsh as i thought it would be so i think i will get some now.

the 1.2 d7f engine has normal adjustable tappets not hydraulic so the oil additive wont do a thing.

oh doesnt matter then,to far away to help. looks like renault then. dealer could charge up to £400 depending on what their labour rate is.

is the release cable/handle free? eg-not stuck and holding the catch open slightly so not allowing it to lock in place when you shut the bonnet. have you lubricated the catch mechanism?

my oval tailpipe sits bang up to the bumper on my cup. from the pics ive seen the twin tailpipes hang lower than the oval tailpipe. do a search as there have been plenty of pictures of the magnex posted.

if its not that bad you can sometimes clean it up with electrical switch cleaner.

yes looms should be the same.

the k-tecs quite loud and the magnex sounds ok but a lot quiter in comparison. not sure about the scorpion.

we use forte at work. we had a spider once where the owner didnt use it that often and everytime he did the tappets rattled for 10 mins whilst they refilled with oil. it wasnt the cars fault as it was left stood for long periods of time. we put some forte oil additive in it and it improved the...

yes you need some cam and crank locking tools. where are you from strax?

how loud do you want it?

depends on dealers. some dealers would void the warranty on shockers etc whilst others wouldnt say anything at all.

when i was down at hillpower once he mentioned something about renault cams. not sure if there supposed to be group n but there definatly renault cams from some series the clio is used in. he did say the inlet cam was near enough the same but the exhaust cam is quite different. any ideas?

defo thinks its the extra systems on the normal 172 causing this idle problem. you think the ecu is worth it then? considering one myself.

the diamond symbol on them!:o did i just say that-ooh traitor!

aye just put the springs on for the mo.

the ecu was a commen problem and normally created non start problems but operated ok once it dried out again.

if the shafts are ok i bets its that circlip,see my previous post.

temp and direction controls are cable. fan speed and aircon are electronic.

just off junction 29 m1. dead easy to find.

bumped this back to the top because im interested to hear what other 172 (not cups) owners say about their group n/r-sport ecu operation. anyone got a normal 172 with the group n then?

pm brun as gdi did his conversion i think.

you cant drive with one shaft as due to the diff design the diff transfers all the power to the broken side and you get no drive.

sounds like the retaining circlip has popped out of the diff or a driveshaft has collasped. have a visual look at the shafts and if they look ok remove the n/s driveshaft. if you look in the hole for the n/s driveshaft in the gearbox you can see the diff. you will probably find that a large...

its the water causing the pads/discs to surface rust and makes the pads stick to the discs. they will release as you pull away but you will notice it. no solution from renault as far as i know.

if its a 65bhp one then there is no intercooler so any leak would have to be from a turbo pipe. if its a 80bhp one then the intercooler will be at the front near the radiator.
