Depends what you want 172 engine for starters. VAG 1.8T small V6 or Lotus V8 CTR engine and box tunning is popular talk to BenR 240hp is cheap I think unlike a 172. 197 stock for starters plus rev happy.

1.4 16V boxes are the weeker JC1 type. I'd use a 172/182 one personally.

Sounds like an earthing lead or alternator I'd fix the power at the moment.

Didn't see you had a 182 if so forget Halfords Renault stock are fine maybe someone didn't put your anti rattle springs in (not that they do much) but if they arn't in they give the pad some space to rattle in. ~£40 from Renault last time I looked. Stock are fine on the 182 the problem is...

PM me your email address I'll send you the file on how to strip it down and remove any disks etc.

Yep most likly a wiring problem.

Stock ones are only £17 from halfords and there fine. Most likly there not sitting straight or worn. You cannot bed normal brakes in wrong realy you can bed them in and not get the full advanatge though.

Both will loose money the Cup might be worse so being as its a lower spec and the market is more a drivers car market the 182 is a decient speced car so migh hold value better. I'd stay with a Cup and save the £2k you'll not loose as much. Depending what your after there are better stuff...

Prices go up and down a lot but that probaly including the metal key and maybe programming.

You'll ideal have to use cumstom mounts its not a huge issue but IMo why not use a Williams engine or a Megan 2.0 botom and 1.8 head and then some decient cams its better and easier.

Pads are moslt lily not settled properly and rattling about I bet you've used cheap copy cat pads as they arn't a good fit often.

Unless you fancy removing the engine and sticking it on a dyno and having all the Aux belts off as they are taking power at th end of the day and paying a fortune then there no point.

How can it be difficult to undo undo the two bolt holding the ball joint onto the wishbone then the two holding the hub to the strut then the arm then undo the brake caliper. Drop the subframe if you want and lift car over engine.

Depends how dedicated you are a proper striped car even with 1.2 would be very quick loose the heater,dash, plastic windows etc best stikc a 1.8 in though for a bit more power.

Why only 172/182?? Is it just the bracket that rusts & makes the exhaust fall off. Sort of the brakcet cannot hold the weight the way it is another bracket welded in place would fix it.

Check the connections and plugs. I blow them a lot but even that ever 6 month at worst with stock ones.

Its most likly the dampers rarther than ther springs. They can fail check for any oil leaks out of them.

You cna fit aftermarket exhaust to make them a bit noiser yep they won't sounds like a petrol due to the way they are plus the turbo muffles them.

Shafts are easy to sort either leave it in and disconnet it later or just get a nail on it /wd40 etc and hammer the damd thing out heat will also help (blow torce isn't a bad idea) Drill heads of the downpipe if there that bad or solk them in oild stec and leave them overnights. I take it...

You don't have a lambeda sensor thats for the petrol owners who have to keep an eye on A/F ratios dci owners don't have to (smoke tell you when you've got A/F issues) Check your coils AmirClio that the most likly that or the spark plugs/tdc sensor

Sounds like its not fitted right and knocking on either your front subframe of yor rear beam.

15-40 is a bi thick 10-40 is about ideal for the UK climates foreightn climate where its hotter it would be more suited.

Its cheap best idea is to get it to a dry place strip it all off and you'll seel where to seal it all up.

Yep they still had most of them there a few bits ie a new body shell they don't have but you caould build a whole new car.

The front and rear were lowered about equal (if anyhting fornt bias) also the fronts will drop over time more so will be better.

4-2-1 exhaust manifold, sporty cat, and exhaust system. Mapping is different for extra fuel to make the extra hp.

I'm glad I'm not alone in my anti trophy seats views. I'm a bit tall as well at 6 6 or so.

No difference standard are fine.

We'd need soe more info on milage etc and what serviced its had cambelt etc. As for the problem some more info as that desciption isn't that detailed.

Its a warently problem assuming you have a warently still. Stock is best unless you intend changing it all. Chane both rear dampers together there list price is £100 or so (£147 euros) Very easy to chnage yourself.
