Yep engine crane a good garage with a 4 post lift would be better. No idea how long a garage would take depend uf there fitting the job in or doing it in one blokc. Matt Black and his mate did one in a day once.

It advances the cam 16 degreees. People have fiddled with the VVt at idle idling becomes terriable with the VVT activated.

£500 to £1k depends on the garage. If you DIY its about a weeks work.

Talk to a local tunenr or garage see if they want a job its basically take the dash off and engine out and put the 172 stuff in.

Either get him to post it or rent a van etc and drive there and back I assume your in the Uk if so you'll be there and back in a day. There more than just the engine you get there the gearbox radiator hubs shocks driveshafts ECU/uch a box of wires

Matt Blacks £1.5k stuf would include brakes suspension atc as its simplar that way. Personally I'd be tempted to just get a proper 172 if you want a sleeper take the RS stuff off and sell it and stick none RS bumpers etc on. If you want to do a 172 conversion Matt usually has the cup stuff...

Better still don't do a search you'll never get the images out of your mind.

All Clio alloys will fit realy the dynamic ones are a popular choice.

Shop round thats overpriced have a look on the trader its more overpriced if its an import. There a better choice there a 2003/53 model from a dealer with 75k on and its up for £5990. If you accept a few more miles (abou 90k worth ) you cna get them for under £5k from a dealer. or get a...

Did you put the intake cam back on right as its VVT you might have got it out of allignment.

Fuel gauage? Don't you just have to stop at every petrol station? Looks nice those wheels and paint worse are different to say the least. Take the stickers off and save the weight. How much have you been using it? Must be interesting on the daily comute.

Being as your insurance isn't paying up since its not your fault it won't matter if you have a turbo kit a body kit 22 inch rims and a custom paint job with none of it declaired. See if you cna buy it back cheap people on here will have the bits offo you strip engine bext wiring looms dash...

You cannot get mud flaps for the 172/182. Normal ones can be modified if you want though.

Exhaust are normal to fail engine mount usualy wear our myabe the last owner was a bit hard on it. The gearshaft cover can fail its due to them being to tight a new ones easy to fit £7~10 I think.

There supposed to be coming to the Uk as well I belive.

5mm spacers on the back is all you need.

If the ABS isnt plugged in you might have a probelms as the computer uses the speed to work out at what temperature the coling fan cut in at there 2 settings.

You can pick them off the tracder realty cheap under £k usualy with more milage but least more milage measn teh cambelt has beeen done and the cost absorbed by someone else.

After some recomendations now on which is better Motorola Startac shorter battery life than I'm used to plus quite old but love the design http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vintage-rare-MOTOROLA-STARTAC-retro-flip-brick-phone_W0QQitemZ190021878048QQihZ009QQcategoryZ42427QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem...

I wouldn't pay that much £4k at best. Its called the exclusive and it should be pinted green.

I think your all rich.

Yep thats why you'd need to make the bracket plus the spacing is different

Black was a Uk spec colour but rare. I think yellow was as popular. The exclusives are green and only the exclusives were green.

Mk1 brakes are fine Imo so point chnaging your'll just increase unsprung mass. Better idea would be if you want 172 barkes (there all the same 172 and 182) to make an adapter bracket up which you use the make the distacne from your hub to a 172 caliper brakcet the same.

Pi springs are probably the cheapest. Not difficult to fit though 2hours or so depends how competant you are.

Its a swuicth to switch off the cruise control/speed limiter. its fitted to them all even if you don't have cruise as its cheaper to do that than make a specail pedal just for none crusie etc owners (Ok you could use the old pedal design from the early 172's but that not worth it).

£100~£170 depends what dealership you go to.

Pm me your eamial address I'll send you the file showing how to do it. Basically remove the cover remove the 4 screws holding the unit in unplug the unit and take it out

Does the temperature gauge work go to half or so and no higher? If so then its all ok.

There already another cmpany in Franch who a few years ago sorted the throttle bodies out to work. Also there a Germany (or Swiss) place who did a low pressure superchrager kit 330hp I think. But it wasn't cheap since it was TUV
