130 is stupidly high your oil is basically cooking and breaking down I'd get it chnaged for some decient stuff ASAP.
My WIlliams (not quite the same as it an oil cooler etc) runs 90 on the motorway quick crusie and 120~125 on the track. thats why 've gone for thicker oil.
Standard disk or Brembo disk there no difference realy Brebos have the advantage of wear indicators though so if your using ds2500's you can tell if your disks are worn as you may go though disks faster than pads.
You can get that Castrol stuff from Halfords £10 per liter I use it in my cars...
Not realy it makes up its own values if it has no reading.
Should be no reason for it to be disconnected as the ECU needs it to work out boost fom the turbo.
In your puff?
Symptons are the searings a bit less precice will depend how badly there worn though the dci feels no different with new ones the Williams made a bit of differance but only slightly (54k and 104k respectifully)
Depends on driver the 172/182 are easier to get down the 1/4 mile and there are some freeky quick ones.
Top end the Civics quicker the Clio will hit its limiter in top with a slight slope though which is about 140mph
Tyres and brakes will depend how there driven you can get thought a set ever 5k if you drive it hard. I'd say more like 12~18k though but long motorway miles will help.
Don't just go on wear on low milage cars they could be the second or third set fitted.
Don't worry about the airbag it only goes off if its needed the impack might have been safer without one.
I wouldn't pay more than £3k for it it does look expensive to fix but its fixable the only thing will be V6 unique parts are expensive you'd have to ring a breaker to get the parts cheap...
Ring up a few garages see what you get quoted. Depending where you are I'd say £200 isn't to far off a good garage (the important work is good there alot of local garages who will do 172's for less but I wouldn't trust them).
The 182 Cup pack isn't amazing it still rolls a lot the Cup packs realy should have been the soft setup and they should have done a better Cup effort.
You need to drive all of them but aftermarket stuff is better than any Renault setup IMO.The Trpohy is good but too edgy at the back for my liking.
Thats been done already by someone (French i think).
Looks wierd still a stunning achievment.
I like all three there all different.
The Mk3 is possibly the best for my all round needs though. Even if it does miss the uniqness of the Mk1 and stonger classic lines the Mk2 is more rear end...
Dead easy read these three posts.

There two belts on the car the aux and the main cambelt the maian cmbelt you won't see.
The aux belt is the one used to power all the other bits and if this is one your on about then the pretentiners have been problems if its under warently get them changed otherwise I'd look at getting a...
Get an one person easy bleed kit for Halfords etc there £20 or so there much easier to use than the useless two person stuff with one way valves.
No specail tools though 8mm spanner for the brakes.
I'd take the wheels of personally if its your first time.
Buy the bits I'll get the brackets measured up tomorrow.
The get the brackets to join the willwods and the hubs dimentions down an engineering works and get them to make you some.
My old insurer Liverpool Victoria didn't care what I did within reason they just wanted £30 even time I adjusted the policy.
It will depend on the company though.
I'd go for APex damper and springs.
The interier is different than the models seen on diplay. Most noticable is the seats arn't like they are in the models.
The dci is very good see what you think of the gearbox I've yet to try one but its the same design box as in the new RS model.
There a standard size
You need the one with the subber washer part number
7700266044 89p ex vat from Renault.
The ones Halfords sell are the same size though but I'm dedicated so I use Renault official stuff.
There nice cars I like them more toys than the old one.
I'm waiting for the RS model but it should be stunning based on the stock cahssic with a wider front end.
Contract j3ned or go to a friends dealer for parts
Drop Brun a message he knows a good sprayer.
Or I'll have a go with a can of spray paint. Then again thinkig about how well I did best not let me loose.
