Nothing in the MOT rules that would suggest a problem ... read them here http://www.motuk.co.uk/manual_720.htmhttp://www.motuk.co.uk/manual_720.htm

Bringing it back to the Turbo topic ... I was down at K-Tec last week, and their 172s engine was out on a stand having the turbo done. Didnt look that closely, but think the turbo was on, but still plenty of work to do. Reckon theyll have it up and running in a couple of weeks.

Of course if you were a ClioSport member you could read Ivans complete DIY guide on changing oil on 172/Cup, complete with pictures. 8mm square plug sounds familiar to me too!

Reckon there are 2 shorts of knocking - the engine mount type plus good old fashioned wheel spin "bang bang bang" axle tramp. My Eibach Pros have definitely reduced the latter - can still get it but is less extreme and frequent. Probably something to do with the change in angle of the drive...

Doubt theres much compression left? When I had my Eibachs put on the other month, Gav at K-Tec didnt need to use spring compressors at all and my springs werent broken!! Case of undoing the big nut at the bottom on the wheel hub; undoing the big nut at the top of the strut; then undoing the...

Well if you really want to settle this you can read the MOT rules here ... - Exhaust - http://www.motuk.co.uk/manual_710.htmhttp://www.motuk.co.uk/manual_710.htm - Emissions - http://www.motuk.co.uk/manual_730.htmhttp://www.motuk.co.uk/manual_730.htm Decats arent illegal. Incorrect...

Is it lowered at all?

Massive thanks for explanation Jay ... does make sense!! Reckon its the extra switch that makes the earth connection that is unreliable then. Having messed with the switch last night, seems to be working most of the time now ... and when it stops a slight twist on the switch sorts it. Small...

Pads: Are they 172 specific? Couple of places Ive rung havent had anything specifically for 172, so wondering if pads are common across ABS/rear disc MkII Clios. Expect not? Fitting: Is it an easy job? Any gotchas? Or is it a simple case of taking wheel off; removing a bolt from the caliper...

Any chance you could find out how much the genuine discs cost please Jay?

Absolutely f**king chuffed (tho rather cold)!!! Loosened the central console, fiddled with the connector on the hazard switch and is working consistently now!! Whod have figured Renault would have thrown in the curve ball of a switched supply to the switch too :@ Had me + MOT garage going. A...

Big breakthru guys!! Decided to have yet another night of less that 6 hours in bed, and so have just been out in my garage with a torch etc.. Popped of the gaiter and squeezed my hand down. I cant get the switch out but when trying to push the switch up from below I can get the hazards to come...

Well not quite ... Jay can I get to the switch innards without messing with the console? Where its a big switch with no surround Id assumed not, but as lagerlout says would make life much easier and quicker ...

Ok ... Ill take each fuse out tomorrow and check one by one. Very interested to hear what the wiring diagram shows! Knocking off for the night ... thanks for the help and suggestions guys!!

Everything else in the car works fine. No other electrical problems. Other things work fine with the ignition off eg. stereo, lights remain on etc.. Other observation is that hazard switch is in when off, and out when on ... is this normal too? Whole hazard system has always seemed strange...

As a test or a solution?

Mike ... huge thanks in advance!!!

Im pretty handy with a soldering iron / multimeter, but will admit in absence of a wiring diagram I dont know which end to start. To get to switch Ive got to remove the central console, so before I do that Im keen to know whether the problem is the feed to the switch, or somewhere else. Since...
