lol just rang them (thought it best before i drive down there!)
gave him a reg, got it on screen, clutch fork and bearing come as a kit, but he says they have suffix's for the gearbox going from 000 right through to 227 lol asked if i had a suffix to give him (i dont even have the geatbox but...
lol no worries ben
bmh.01 - yeh it is looking like a new clutch job, that way i know the clutch is good and as you say it will solve the release bearing prob
right can anyone confirm the arm is the same as non RS models?
surely you would think renault would sell the part seperately? but i...
as it looks like the easiest option in terms of driveshafts, rear mount etc
watch your gonna tell me i can use a 172 box with no problems now arent you!? :quiet:
are the ratio's massively different between the two boxes?
right i am on a proper mission to get all the parts i need to complete the 172 conversion, one of them on my list is a clutch release bearing and arm
the 172 engine i bought has a clutch on it (the engine has done around 20k so i am very tempted to leave it be and get some use out of it)...
well i assume because that one came in a manifold that it was pre-cat?? would that be right?
is there a part number on the sensor anywhere?
fred- when you say 'you only need the pre-cat one' does that mean i dont actually have to plug one into the post cat plug connector? and what are the...
what bracket and belt are you are using with the valver alternator?
picked up my engine yesterday but didnt come with an alternator attached (and the lad had cut the aux belt off when removing the engine!!) so gonna use the one off the valver like yourself
has anyone looked into the ktec...
right ive managed to find a cable throttle 172 engine with loom and ecu, trouble is its a later one with 2 lambda's and the loom didnt come with them attached
do i need both plugging in as i was going to put a sleeve on one and plug the other into the decat. will the ecu throw a wobbler if i...
that would be spot on mate and a real help! :D
also another question, are you using the 172 box? but 16v driveshafts? (im assuming this from what you have put in the for sale section ;) ) if you are how you finding the mountings line up?
top work :D
i would be interested to hear what goes on with the wiring as i am planning on doing this conversion (in the process of getting the 1.8 out and sourcing a 2.0 lump)
i am a bit naff when it comes to electrics so any sort of guide or instruction would be very cool :)
arrrgghh this bloody decision is doing my nut in :S
the original idea was to put the 172 lump in and leave it standard, having fun with the engines power in a car that will hopefully weigh not a lot :evil:
then after having real trouble finding the right 172 lump for the right price i...
im ok with mechanics and am willing to learn and try anything myself
electrics is where i stumble a bit
am i right im thinking that a renault 19 16v lump is the same and will be a straight swop?
yeh both rear arches have a bit of rust, one worse than the other, ive sprayed some waxoyl on it to try and slow it down a bit :S but this car was never bought to look good ( i have the 106 for that:) ) it was bought as a shell to house an engine and me :D (altho i did treat it to some megs...
so lets say worse case scenario is that the cambelt snapping has bent a valve, am i still better off getting this head reconned and using a megane bottom end?
what sort of pricing am i looking at for getting this work done? and im assuming the ecu is gonna have to be remapped to accomodate the...
well saturday was an 'interesting' day :S
borrowed my brother in laws van and went to pick up a trailer i was borrowing off a friend of a friend (never seen this trailer before but was told the lad uses it to transport land rovers!)
This thing was rotten to high heaven! just driving down...
