I'd bleed the fluid it will make a big difference plus IMo you should do it ever time you replace the pads anyway. I have to chnage mine about ever 10k on the diesel when its done track days as there so much air in there. £50 not a bad price depends what you have to supply. Personally I'd do it...

I don't mean to be harsh but if your paying yourself I'd forget it better buy a new car and break yours. If insurance are paying ask them for a write off value you can but a 172 conversion kit for £1.5k all suspension etc included then buy the panels from a breakers for much less then you'll...

OK Grill looks OK to me. Its got a sunroof Door handles arn't colour coded. Zeons arn't there but there lamp washers (not right but there was a 172 with normal lights and washers) Second aerial isn't an issue probably a car aerial no Mk2 came with an aerial there so its aftermarket anyway...

This is what it would look like Hope that works Its fake but lets see who spots why first? I'd be tempted to buy it and 172 conversion if you could get it cheap.

Turn the light on and park the car near a wall. Then get a load of people to sit on the boot so the back lowers down. Or unbolt the rear sensor and move it manually.

Once it pluged in and someone has turned the key the ECU is locked to the car fastchip are the only people who can unlock it even Renault clip laptops cannot do it. Renault themselves say not to fiddle about. Before you think of any fixes once the key has been tuned with the new ECU it copies...

Micra turbo diseel?

Didn't get to edit it fast enough.

£1.5k + vat for the parts. then £1.5k labour but j3ned doesn't do them as people moan about warenties etc. You can do it yourself though if you have a week the 172 full fat kit and a good garage.

The 100 uses the sam box as the 172/182 (jc5) so any one of them will fit but the ratios are hugly different. Best find a gearbx from a 80dci or 100dci 9both use the JC5. The 65dci uses the jc3 box

On the bottom of the sump. 8mm square tool plus you need to use a new washer £1.10 from Renault (or use plumbers tape) to reaseal the sump.

Not to difficult, to do the filter you have to remove the injector cover (3 bolts from memory) at the front of the engine. Don't go removing the filter with a screwdriver though get a proper removal tool a screwdriver can smash the internals of the filter and let bits of metal get into the...

There no manual as the market i to small. The normal one covers most of the stuff though there not much more you need.

ARr right sounds more like the ecu and keys neeed resyncronising you need to go to Renault to get them to do it.

You cannot. If the lights flashing it means the keys arn't syncronising with the ECU/UCH. Its mostly likly the transponder pickup from around the ignition barrel (common failure). You need a new imobilier or leasy to check you old one so you need to remove the ignition barrel to get the...

Nope there no one for any Renault sport car. Just under 5 liters is what you need.

Yep won't do any harm will probably leak soms oil sicne from cold its quite vischoius but that not a bad thing least the engines protected. I'd prefere to do that than use 10-40 and not have as much protection from cold.

I'm guessing the box isn't moving with the engine in which case I'd say clutch is gone most likly all the pressure plates holding the clutch have failed ie new clutch time. Easy way to tell it to remove the battery etc and have at look at the clucth lever.

I've got Martins old Williams which has Piper cams (270 degrees) there a bit top endy but they do give a fair bit more power just shame its all up the top. Then again its not much worse that a 172 I just like all the power at the low end. Personally I wouldn't bother unless you've having the...

I'm not sure the probvlem maybe if you could write it in a series of combinations of what work and what effect I could have a better idea of the problme. However if the gearbox is in neutral with the clutch off (ie pedal not pushed down) with the engine running the wheels will turn (if there...

Spax do a damper adjustable kit but only front is height adjustabe. FK doa type 2 (or somehting like that) one with adjuatle dampers and height front and rear but its expensive £700. You don't need adjuable dampers unless you do serious racing IMO. I never adjusted mine realy even on track...

Get a Haynes manual realy but. to take the drive shafts out you have to drain the gearbox. No need to remove the who exhaust just disconnect the exhaust manifold under the car. If you've a crane best take engine and box out as one. Change the clutch and cambelt whilst your swopping engines.

Need to do less miles but my the time Omars come to sell I'll have that sorted (maybe). I'll have to switch on MSN keep forgetting to (plus forgetting to rurn it off)

Renault are more expensive most likely £60.

The F4R engine 9ie 172/182 ) is a development and a better engine than the F7R/P fitted to the Williams and Vlvers so its stronger and better built. F7/R engine are still going strong with over 200k there a few over 300k so long as there maintained correctly they'll last almost forever. I'd...

If mine going back at 60k or more then I'm sure the superier Cups can make it. Even the Williams made it with a bit ovber 100k on it.

Maximum you'll want is about 17's 162 are a good compromise I still prefere 15's though for a soft ride. Lowering springs will wear out though with different springs given time. Personally I'd gte the car lowered first Apex matching lowering dampers and springs etc are a good buy at...

Just leave it unless it rusted in which case get it welded up and then pain over it. If you want take it out the car and clean it down to metal and spray it all but its a pain to do.

Having 2~3mm left isn't a reason to fail MOT etc I don't see why they should pay for new tyres there a wear and tear item and so long as they have over 1.6mm on them over 75% of there with there legal for the road. I'm guessing the garage didn't do the MOT? Ever time my cars been in for service...

A new bracket is only £10 or £15 might as well persoanlly buy a new one.
