a synchro mesh kit is about £100 and it would be a good idea to replace the gear that is crunching on as well due to it has the friction surface on it that the synchro pushes against. individual gears are about £45. there is then the extra labour (after removing the box) that you will be charged...

if its the first lamda sensor or an early one with just one sensor anyway then the reading should constantly fluctuate between 250mv and 850 mv. make sure the engine is warm though and it has been running for a few minutes. if the reading doesnt fluctuate (stuck at one constant mv figure) then...

a subtle noise would have to be a magnex. they do a twin round tailpipe back box.

the sensor is part of the cable and is just before where it plugs into the instrument panel. the centre cable will have a target on it that the sensor on the outer casing picks up.

yes priced one up the other day and it was about £65. you should just be able to change it by unscrewing the plastic undergaurd. then undo the torx screws behind the foglight.

about £6-7 for the metal renault rocker cover gasket. they changed them to metal a few years back and they do seem better.

arent nankang made by a decent company like uniroyal(might not be them but it is a decent make i just cant remember) but just a slightly cheaper version,they even have the same tread pattern. my mate works for a mobile tyre firm and im sure he mentioned something like that anyway.

you say he has had a part reground. well surely that will be thinner now but the new seal wont be any bigger to compensate. the amount may be small but it might be enough to cause the oil leak. in the case where you think the seal may have caused slight wear on a cam etc you just refit the new...

would only help on hydraulic tappets. would have no affect on normal adjustable type tappets.

there is a renault mod to do with the strut tops.

a blowing exhaust wouldnt cause your problem. the only sensor they have been anywhere near would be the oxygen sensor although oxygen sensors when they fault dont normally seem to cause such noticable problems as yours.

if the vehicle has done a lot of mileage it would be an idea to fit the seal very slightly further in than the original so the seal doesnt run on the same place on the cam. if the crankcase is over pressurising then it would leak past weaker areas first like the dipstick or crankcase breather...

you may have knocked the gearbox in gear when you moving it around. if your a bit rough with the box when fitting it you can cause a selector to drop into gear. this will then prevent you from selecting gears as plunger mechanism prevents the selection of two gears at the sametime. if you remove...

im not going to early as ive had a few beers. im setting off from junction 29 m1 about 8.30am. if anybodys going from that way send me a pm and we can meet up. leave yopur phone number in the pm and ill give you a bezz in the morning. night chaps.

about £250 and it is a renault part (although not avaliable through uk dealers)

it might have the timed cooling fan that will cut in for about 10mins after the engine has been turned off.

dogbone mount would be a first check but the 16v j type boxes are also quite commen for the 5th gear nut or bolt to work loose.

the cat 1 alarm that dealers fit is made by cobra (decent firm/make). all alarms go through the same thatchem tests so they all should be a good as each other (ones in the same catagory anyway)

you dont need the dash fully out. you just unbolt it and pull it forward about 6/7 inches to give you room to move the heater box around.

why does the foam ruin the tyre?

is there any difference in spec between yours and ac_uks mike?

i agree,looks ok in the first picture but the second picture of the back end is awful. a bit to ott on the back end.

ak_uk = is yours a phase 1 or phase 2 172?

think thats my next mod the inlet manifold.

think my next thing from hillpower will be the inlet manifold.

yes see what you mean but the servo only has enough reserve for a couple of presses of the pedal and if the leak is bad enough to be heard from inside the car it would be doubtful if it would recover due to the loss created by the leak. hard to say though really without actually hearing it,isnt it.

as above. 15min job to replace the connector with soldered joints. been a problem on clios for a very long time now.

well it sounds like the noise is created by the engine as in a air leak,espicially seeing as it isnt quite running right as well. can you get somebody to rev it whislt you have a listen under the bonnet?

all parts are interchangable but since your having a chip it would be pointless. not sure if you would get 30bhp as that was just an example but normally dcis get good gains from chips so you never know.

not keen on the exhausts a bit ott. i suppose the silvers not that bad but i prefer everything to be colour coded.
