mine did exactly the same 2 hours ago after being parked tilted to the right, moved the car to a flat surface, let her settle a bit, checked underneath for leaks and everything ok. 2 mins later the warning was gone. drove it another hour or so and then stopped again slightly tilted to the right...

btw, has anyone weighted their stock 1*2? I am STILL not sure what my car weight is, somewhere between 1090-1110 kg maybe..

I was thinking of maybe having some problems with the arm, but then the clutch biting point was supposed to be low down near the floor isn't it? which is not the case. it bites about half way up/down which I guess is normal. Anyway if i'm going to investigate the problem I'll change the arm no...

b.u.m.p. I thought I'll get an answer asap as these boxes are known for having issues :(

I have to say that every time I had encountered problems with these motors I managed to fix them and save some cash. (if someone interested in my methods PM me) as for the wiper arms removal I use an adjustable wrench which I open and slot it under the arm, with the wrench being around the pin...

I changed my clutch to a k-tec gr N kit in october '09 hoping this would fix my problem. well, it didn't.. so here it goes: engine at idle, pressing and holding down the clutch, engaging 1st gear, revin' the engine to 2-3-4k rpm and nothing happens as normal. but when going past 5k rpm the car...

my friend with his 172 wants to change the upholstery as it's quite worn and it seems like renault aren't making the 172 ph2 original item, just something that fits, not sure even what material is there any part no for the whole thing?

white on a RB yes but on arctic will probably stick out too much. thought it might look more subtle if they were grey like the cup wheels

bump!

forgot to mention: floored it on the highway about 20 mins before that happened, I went 140 several times. Could this be causing the problem above?

mine's the same for about a, hour and won't go past 3000 rpm. anybody? :(

the start issue is somehow gone for the moment, but.... pushed it hard in 1st gear at a traffic light and suddenly lost power, and the rectangle with the zig-zag line in the middle appeared on the dash. so the car won't go above 2800-3000 rpm. stopped the car immediately and started again. the...

i'll go check if mine has the shield, although IIRC there was no job done to the car in that area

5 min ago me and a friend of mine went out to bump start the car. you should've seen the look on our faces when it started by itself. my conclusion: after 15 hours of cooling down the starter motor got cold again and magic happened

it's not even turning over, thought that even if the TDC has issues it'll still try to turn. correct me if wrong. anyway, I'll give that a check too if can't jump start first. hope the rain stops now..

you mean connect/reconnect and clean if the case?

no clicking noise when attempting to start, just silence.. :( I hope I won't need another motor, I'll try to jump start soon and then go to check it out somewhere

heelp! :( I'll need the car by tomorrow morning

went out this evening and after a few stops the car refused to start. after turning the ignition on and attempting to start nothing happened, the dash lights turn off like normal but no other noise or anything. dropped down the window and the fuel pump is ok, you can hear it no problem. I also...

I thought that's the way to bed in properly: http://www.zeckhausen.com/bedding_in_brakes.htm

you can always take a measure and see what's what ;)

mine was touching about in the same spots. now it hangs on the wall if it's a cup, then no cover if not and rattles, definitely remove it

yeah it's quite ghetto imo too but it seems to get the job done stock 182 FF vs 172 with the ported inlets and head, remap and k&n induction: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKOpri0uVBQ&feature=related

the crank pulley on a turbocharged fiesta ST has loosened up and caused some damage. I've heard the solution to prevent this is a safety pin on the pulley to keep it in place. now were there any Tcharged clios having this problem? has anyone used this on their SC/TC clios? regards

a friend of mine did this on his 172 and a couple of other cars and the guys said the car definitely pulls better after. not sure about the head porting thing, is there any risk in doing this beside the inlets? he also ported the exhaust manifold. I know for sure the cars go better but is it...

what about the DS performance pads? are they ok for fast road driving?

hmm so 2500 then you say.. the OE pads have around 7 mm of compound left

I'm getting soon a pair of brembo HC on the front as my originals are nearly gone. Question is will I have to change the pads ( OE pads at the moment) as they have plenty of life left in them. If not will I have to bed them in to the new discs as with new pads? Thanks! p.s: please recommend me...

you said you're runnin 205/45 r17 tyres? if so they're too big, have a look at what k-tec are selling for 17" wheels (195/40 r 17) stock you are 195/45 r16 so for 17 you'll need a 40 profile with the same width.

not a trophy owner but.. definitely DO IT! there are few cars which are that good in stock condition, it's quite nice to know you'll probably never have to upgrade it that much.. red, speedline, sachs, recaro's, and probably already a classic hot hatch too bad there are only 50 trophy's that I...
