Second hand engine is better idea. Sounds like the AUX belt hasn't been chnaged as per the speciifaction at 36k which has broken your cambelt as it does. If it is then either if your keeping the engine for ages get a new 172 one from brand new crated up for £1.25k or so and then its 15 hours...

There a 50Ohm tolerance I think so should be OK. They fail so much might as well change it. Check the throttle bdy is clean and works correctly. You did replace the coils and leads with the correct ones?

Nope the CUp has different speings etc so it has a lower offcial ride high but the normal tolerances mean that a full fat 172 could infact be lower than Cup and them both be correct. 5mm at the front 7 at the back I think or its the other way round. Its 3mm on the 182's. ALso the 172 Cup has...

Wiring suns the most lily but check the pipes are clean and working. You can disconnect the pipes to the front wahsers and check water comming out if it does then the pipe needs cleaning out.

Its a franchise so Renault UK won't be able to do much.

They can there just lazy.

Sounds like the cambelt tensioners or aux belt pretensionser are the problem. Personally I'd take it to another garage see what they say it might just be the AUX belt temsioners what milage are you on they might not have chnaged them when they chnaged the AUX belt if the garage wanted to save...

UCH or the switch must be wrong check the switch first.

Are the wheels spinning? Most likly axle tramp rarther than driveshafts but driveshafts can get damaged.

There is a place who sell them I forget there name btu they weren't cheap.

Needs cutting off.

Does the red ling on the dash go out when you put the key in the ingition and turn it? if not then the imobiliser is cutting in most likly the imobiliser ring is at fault. Check with another key. IF it is goin off then check all the fuses si the fuel pump starting.

There a load of fuses and relays which one are you looking for?

French wiring sounds like the battery might be having trouble.

16's maximum IMO for use 15's would be better. The handing wll be dfferent but it depends where you drive if you'r handing will get worst although define worst everyone has different ideas.

Check the spark plugs Cat seem very very unlikly check the throttle body workign and the MAP sensor.

Yep common problem coils going least your car has individual ones.

Same manifold on the full fat 172. MAny epopel will say use the 182 one as its better for power and have a custom decat pipe made but post in the wanted area peopl who are converting to 182 exhaust manifold will sell there old ones off cheap. Unusual for it to blow though has it got a hole...

Changing pumps a bit of a pain like anything on them but not impossible.

Dealers don't want the problem of trying to claim so make up there own stored or amke it difficult for any work to be done. Its 12k or 2 years the warently book is wrong if you want more info contact Renault UK. Even if it hadn't been serviced correctly the radio etc isn't affected since...

All in one back on the 172/182's its a warently item they fail a lot so Renault will understand.

Should do I've used 195/50 before now on a lowered Williams although it had no arch liners.

Trade policies let you do that but there often not cheap and you've got to prove your a business not just a 17 year old who wants cheap insurance on high insurance group car. There was a casea while agao of a lad who started a police crashed the Calibra turbo he had on it and the company...

40NM officially. be careful though I've had bolt shear on me before now don't do then as tigh as possible.

I'd say write off depnds on compnay but for the cost particuly if its an expensive sporty model then body panels are more expensive so more likly a write off.

The brakes are idential its the wheel on the 18 whch don't let the brakes cool. Ds2500s are a good idea though.

Its covered there talking rubish. Evn if it wasn't under the rule its not fit for purpose if it fails that quick so it would be covered.

You have to do the AUX belt when chnaging cambelt if he doens't do it when it does a cambelt then enough said.

Don't you mean Mk2? If so there one or two other owners but noen are forum regulars.
