type d. thats all you can get now anyway,type c was discontinued because it used to rot the inners of the cooling system like core plugs etc.

im thinking about one of these,so you think its improved engine power lower down the rev range rather than peak power. you do think its worth it though?

the brown connector/sensor is for the instrument panel gauge. the white sensor/connector is the injection coolant temp sensor. youll know if youve got the right one because its got a stupid metal clip that holds it on and makes it a right pain to get the connector off.

there probably both ok but i would have thought the k-tec would be louder.

if the dampers arent leaking and appear ok then you will be ok with just the lowering springs if you cant really afford the shocks as well.

maybe the phase 1 only has 1 foglight i cant remember. the bulb will be there in the phase 2 lights as phase 2 do have 2 foglights but there will be no wire for the second foglight on your vehicle as it is a phase 1. is it the n/s foglight that doesnt work?

commen sizes of springs would be 40mm or 60mm drop. both would be fine it just depends how low you want the car to look. there have been many posted pics on this subject. do a search or maybe look in the gallery. anybody got any pics to help the man decide?

good old trial and error method eh.

the white one is the injection temp sensor. the one youve marked as unknown.

if your receptionist rings customer services they almost everytime authorise the replacement of all 4 coils.

most likely a coil problem. they only change them all if there in a particular production fab range.

my mate got one for his 1.2 diet engine. think it was a green cotten filter.

set of alloys seeing as your now on phase 2 valver wheels. them 172 wheels looked good though.

just the gaskets or the thermostat housing as well. Never known just the gasket to leak but ive had the thermostat housings becoming distorted before and causing a leak.

no it wont fit unless you modify the k-tec exhaust. the cat>centre section joint is a different design.

open circuit means its definatly faulty,did you check the right one though as the gauge and ecu on older cars use separate sensors. this would affect the engine running so replace it if its open circuit.

the injection ecu doesnt directly control esp/tc but it is part of the system so im not sure if the group n ecu will work on the later 172s which have all the gadgets.

edited my last post. i meant wishbone not subframe. anyway if the mot bloke had seen it then it should have failed.

does it run ok in general?

do a search as i posted the part number of this sheild not that long ago.

do you mean the bolt that goes through the anti roll bar bush and holds it to the wishbone? complete bolt/bush kit from renault about £8. coolant temp sensors corrode through on the inside. you can check the resistance of it when the engine is cold and see if the resistance reading matches up to...

how do you mean "load noise"? i would have thought even compensators with a spring might make a noise if you let off the pedal quickly as the spring is putting the compensator arm back to its rest position. cant say ive ever noticed any unusual noises from my cup though. dont think you can get...

difficult to say without hearing the noise.

the reading will constantly fluctuate up and down that is normal. max readings a little high though but this could just indicate a rich mixture and not nes a sensor fault. normally when the oxygen sensor fails the figures dont fluctuate. the figures are fluctuating as they should but are the...

theyll be fine its only cosmetic. get them banged on.

what really. i make my text bigger than normal anyway.

if your doing a 100 mph then that wont help fuel consumption i suppose.

it is a 1.8 8v rsi yes? idle valve is a cylinder shaped unit on top of the inlet manifold held on by two torx scres.

shouldnt think so.

did the obd say anything else like 1,pollutant misfire or 2,destructive misfire? pollutant misfire is a slight misfire which will affect emissions. destructive misfire is a bad misfire that could potentially damage the cat etc.
