If you know anybody who can get trade discount at euros then the Bosch ones are only about 50 quid. I took a risk and just swapped it without paying for somebody to read live data and problem solved. They do seem a pretty common failure.

Id get the compression test and proper diagnostics done before you chuck any more money at it.

When i bought my 172 I was consistently getting 32 average. Then suddenly it dropped to 27. Changed the pre cat lambda and now I average 35. Mixed driving, my work is about 5 miles away and the route is all back roads.

Not sure, never had to do it but it will take a bit of thinking about as you will need to know the position of the pistons as you adjust. A competent mechanic should be able to do it but to be honest until you get it diagnosed properly your pissing in the wind.

No I think he's saying check the valve clearances

I wouldn't take his word for it mate. Get it properly diagnosed. Also for the price of spark plugs for one of those is just replace them anyway.

Could do with getting it plugged in. Could be a number of things. Spark plugs, coil pack, leads, injector

It's 1 bolt and 1 nut if I remember correctly.

Find a proper ecu specialist who can read live data. My old lambda sensor made mine run terrible and fuel consumption was way down

Wouldn't worry about it mate. A 0.9l engine is never going to be rapid. Just enjoy it for what it is

probably need to get a custom pipe made, i can only see decat pipes for the 1.2 tce

Ah that's a bugger. My lemforders both came with nuts.

Did the new track rod end nor come with one? They usually do

Need to get Peugeot planet on it mate. Go on the Peugeot forums somebody will have it. I've got it but based in Sheffield. Peugeot are useless with any other brand of diagnostic equipment.

I wonder if you have managed to damage a sensor somehow. Seems too much of a coincidence to happen straight after changing the disks. Got an oscilloscope to check the sensors are working when you spin the wheel?

Check you haven't disturbed one of the connections for the abs sensors.

Clears by itself Does the brake lights defiantly come 9n as soon as you touch the pedal now? Also not sure if 197 rear disks are like 172 ones but make sure the disks you bought have the correct ABS rings on them. Are the lights on from standstill or do they only come on when you start driving?

Reset the brake light switch. Mine did the same after new disks and pads because the brakes were working before the lights come on

Mk2 172

Pretty sure Renault changed it to 3 years due to premature failures. Could be wrong but I'm sure I read it somewhere Just had a little read and it looks like they changed it from 72k to 36k but time is still 5 years. My bad

Has anybody used the powerflex top engine mount insert? My mount has seen better days and I wasn't sure if I should just replace it, or put the powerflex insert in. Or do both?

Checked the alternator is charging it? Should read around 14.4v when charging

Aux belt is 3 years and seems to cause more failures than the cambelt. Most cam belt snaps I've read of were due to the aux belt snapping and wrapping around the crank.

Might be worth checking the cat hasn't collapsed. I read a thread the other day and the guy managed to collapse a brand new cat on track and that gave him a bogging down top end. Just a suggestion, could be a number of things though I suppose

See if it will jump start if youve got some leads if you dont want to wait for the battery to charge

Cant see your center hanger..

sounds like a flat batery to me. Battery should float at about 12.6v Give it a good charge and try again

Could be the sensor in the Interior light?

Wouldn't that be caused by a leaking injector seal not holding vacuum at it's end of the fuel line?
