a 6 speed box will fit - easy. But the 182 doesnt need a 6th gear - neither does the Clio V6 really. My V6 was faster in 5TH gear at top end than in 6TH - its just an economy / cruising gear. The engine simply doesnt need 6 gears.
When the maindealer services them they drive them onto the flatbed lift ramps coz they cant get the swinging arm ramps under them. What i used to do with mine is drive it up a kerb and slide a standard jack under the rear or front subframe depending on what part of the car i wanted to work on.
If they keep the part in stock they have to refund it - if it has been specially ordered and it is the correct part they do not refund the money. If they have ordered the wrong part then they should refund it. If you have given incorrect details as to what the part is then they will not refund...
Get a letter from an independant specialists ( official letter ) with an engineers report stating the rarity and value of the car. Also contact a main dealership and ask them to check there "Classes guide" for the value of a mint version of your car - ask them if they can perhaps write this down...
if its leaking its because your frame is twisted - they distort over a long period of time. It will be nothing to do with the drainage tube. Its a very common fault and i used to replace loads. A new frame is £336.40 - part number 7701367849. If your lucky it may be the rubber seal running...
An induction kit will actually replace your existing air filter - it will consist of a ram air feed pipe which will feed air to the "performance filter" and the into the throttle body. Contact http://www.k-tecracing.com/http://www.k-tecracing.com/ as well - you will have to go through the menu...
The trouble is the airbag - make sure the one off your 1.2 is the same as the 172 - the airbag ecu may be a different part number as well so it may not be compatible. It could result in the airbag fitting ok but the airbag warning light flashing and the airbag system being disabled - so be careful
the 172 has 3 engine mounts - the most common for going is the engine stabiliser bar which joins the engine to the chassis. The part number is 8200103802 £28.00. The drivers side one is £42.90 6000073669 and the pass side one is £20.31 8200089697. Hope this helps :)
Ok - everyone got there dummies back in ?? - this kit is for the strip only and is just for a bit of fun. I may also be using it to burn small animals such as badgers and other endangered forest creatures - chill
you need a 70 amp alternator for this car - usually a valeo or lucas type -
the part number for a brand new one is 7700817232 £198.72 (:o) or an exchange one from Renault is £91.78 - 7701499444.
The part number for a 1.4 is different from a valver so i wouldnt bother - call 01254 386661...
is it worth it making your own kit ???? - for £50 i will stick with the genuine artical - you get a proper control box / wiring and fitting instructions
It was $39.99 and £21 for import duty - so with $10.00 postage the total works out at about £45 - £50 GBP. Thats £100 cheaper than the english bloke on e-bay thats sellin the same kit.
