End of April

Midweek TF days are good if you want get a few laps in. Last time I was there you'd be stood at a viewing point 2 or 3 minutes before you saw a car come past

Not happening ;) lol Still got my Clio ATM lol

I'll give them a call once I'm ready to get it done :)

Think I'll be going to Chris when I have my Megane mapped. He good with those too, @bloke ?

Runcorn. £160 Rolling road

Take a drive up to EFI. Think a remap there costs less than a RSTuner plus licence and map

Have you checked it on one of the other sensors just to see if you do get a reading?

Resistance, so ohms mate

I used a multimeter to find the duff sensor on my civic. If it's showing open circuit then that's your duff one. A working one would show a fluctuating figure as the wheel is spun

Lock it up again at and see if your cam locking tool slots back in

Looks mint mate!

The horse shoe slides into the slots on the end of the cams to keep them in place. Rotating the belt a few times evens the tension out across the whole length of the belt.

Proper tools used to do the timing? As in genuine Renault ones? Did you spin the belt round a few times with the pulleys loose and cams locked? Checked the horse shoe went back in after turning the engine over a few times?

Looks mint Tom!

Lol

I bet mine hasn't got them then

I know many will say they're fine as a daily but its not for me anymore. Then again, I can't remember what standard suspension feels like on them

They have their problems, swivel hubs and window regulators etc but both hubs have been replaced this year and a new drivers side regulator. Hopefully they'll be fine for a while now.

Think the first ones came out in 2004, and this is 2005 so fairly early, but apart from seats I thought the interiors were pretty much all the same? Anyone know what the colour is called?

It'll be done soon :)

Ive not sold my current one yet lol

Haha been there done that

Yeah it's not the highest of spec, but I'm not overly fussed. My Mrs will be driving it 99% of the time and she doesn't know a xenon from a Xena warrior princess

Cheers mate

After owning my second 172 for nearly 18 months I was starting to get a little frustrated each time I drove it. Yes it's fun to drive when "on it" but I found myself getting a little bored of thrashing the hell out of it to make it exciting. So I decided that I fancied something that was a...

I might make it a sticky :)

Because with this the filter gets relocated behind the passenger headlight, where the air tends to be quite cool

Good video mate. From now on you're known as "Mr over enthusiastic" :)
