Its down the front of the engine/gearbox .
Best way to describe is if the little butterfly bolt came out it would hit the back of the radiator its about the middle of the car right down. You'll see the little butterly like bit on the bolt if you see the gearbox.
Seat belt warning light
The SERV and AIRBAG lights come on its a common problem (almost every has it) its due to the wiring of the pretensioners going to an open circuit. Fiddle with the wires under the seat an the problem will go away.
On the early cars the solution is to look under each of...

Your shocks will wear out quicker but it depends on so many things how long they last.

Don't use SPAX IMO there rear dampers have some sort of design fault they keep claiming to have fixed it but this has been going on for a good few years.
To be fair they are good with warenties but theats becase they seem to have admitted there an issue I had 6 or so sets in 6 months.
You don't have to chnage it Renault just recomend changind at 5years or 72k you can leave it forever if you want but they reconemd any longer and the risk of it breaking is more.
£150 or so for a cambelt not to difficult on the 1.2 as there a bit of space make sure they change the tensioners...

There not very good from mine and other experiances on the Mk1's
There not even the right size to fit under the car. Plus the mounts are all the wrong size.
There isn't one the normal Haynes manul covers 995 of stuff Pm me your email address and I'll send you a PDF with some 172 specific stuff in it telling you what bits etc.
Best ring them for exact spec or pop down and take notes off there turbo etc.
You probably could get the bits cheaper but ring them up they might be willing to discount etc.

Don't use grease.
Check the wiring connection on the dash and sensor though instead they can be problematic.

No way 5hp maybe 2hp on a 1.6 say 3 with a remap.
Depends what else you have on the car though.
Its not worth trying to tune a car let alone a N/A car but thats never stopped people throwing money at them.
