First one is the amount of fuel left in the tank (or least what the trip thinks is left). The second is the amount of fule the fule pump is pumping in liters a minute (or somehting like that). The display you have Harry shows a fault the ECU has logged, I think t is a temperature sensor fault...

Its easy to change and if you do have a problem you can always still drive the car. Its almost plug in and go though now you need the tool to remove the radio or 4 small bits of metal/plastic to stick down the holes in the stereo to pull the old one out.

Don't complain I pay just over £600 on a dci and I'm 23. For a 172/182 I'm looking at £1.3k. Even on my Williams TPFT it was £1.1k. Its not like I'm a bad client I've 3 YRS NCB and 1 claim. Nice area just the 20k a year puts them off I think.

They will fit you need to drill the holes slightly oversized though.

Keep away from GAZ there Mk1 stuff is useless and there Mk2 stuff doesn't get much rave reviews.

45six182 - Is that the speedo speed as they cna be a bit out plus I've seen my 2.0 tunned Williams hitting 145 on the speedo which worked out to be ~135 thast was flat out. 172's can, with enough road and slightly downhill hit the limiter in 5th as proved by some members in Germany. I'd say a...

I'd go for the H and R or Fk ones or of you want want that low ride height springs and matching dampers as they can be a superb match for a good price. Personally I'd be very tempted and probably end up with Leda ones if it were my car although they are expensive and I'd not want to pay list...

The more you spend usually the better you get. If you keep the temps down any oil should be fine so long as its the right spec. I'd personally stick silkline pro in for normal road use and Miller for track day use. Halford own stuff or Vauxhall stuff is fine for normal road use but I'd chnage...

The official stock figures are 200Nm

You'd need the whole ecu reampped which is a bit of a waste realy IMO. You might as well remap the ECU in the car already. The ECU won't run on your car though without sending to someone to clear its memory as once its used on a car it remembers that cars imobiliuser settings so can only be...

i don't like them on any pressure on my dci or Williasm they wear rate seems quite good but they have low limits and seem to snap away badly. However the 182 I drve with them on was great and my mate uses them on his car and says there very good.

So long as they are the same strut sizes which if there Mk 2 2 Clios they will. However the 1.6 weights about 80Kgs or more so the front will be lower and the suspension setup isn't right for the car.

The gearbox is a whole nely designed one its the same as fitted to the Clio/Modus 105dci its a new hydrolic box which is stronger and better. Its closer ratio I think from the figures I've seen indicating its even higher reving at normal speeds but it should be quieter due to the new VVT/Vtec head.

Sort of, you do need a load of bits but its not the whole car just cartain looms. Best ring matt (j3ned) as he buys the crashed cars take the bits you need and sells them he's always very busy so best give him a call if your serious about it. He misses PM's so don't be put off by him not...

I always like CAD drawings. However is it not possibel to incline the trumpets slightly so you don't have to modify the top of them? What about inclining them so they sit lower? The trumpets look smaller than the 172 ones are they the same size?

Engine is 192~198hp I think its 198 Din or whatever the Renault use which is 192UK HP. 6 speed close ratio box and 0-60 isn't much different. 10NM more torque though.

Expect a small price rise and I don't see them being discounted as much. It might help firm up the 172/182 prices realy.

Normal pads are a good mixture harder pads wear the disks more so its a compromise if you've no problems I'd stick with them personally. Rear disk should have new bearing pressed in Yozzasport sells new rear disk cheap I think and there standard OE ones just cheaper than Renault. Sump gasget...

If you do any miles of normal slow driving or late night/early morning I'd get the Trophy for the toys and the ABS etc which people can argue about all they want but all you neeed is tyo lock up for a second and thats it. If you use the car for more fun driving or are willing to put up with the...

You won't get a new one from Renault under warenty there £15 or so new for the leather ones and £10 for the standard ones I think. It is a common thing to break though the plastic clips useless.

No dealer has ever cared IMo what parts you buy. The Mk1 172's don't come in Cup spec only the mk 2 172's The 4-2-1 manifold is used on the 182's and is better than the 172's one but its a bit of work to make it fit and its not realy the best ever there still more could be done. It won't...

They'd change it all I'd suspect. Its more effort not to. You can buy all the 2.0 stuff ie brakes suspension engine ECU dashboard gearbox for £1.5k + vat from j3ned. I'd think they are doing this one for £500+ VAT for th work which is very cheap but its not to bad as the experiance they...

There no real reason 16V not Williams are done the Williams does make a bit more power I'd think there more 16V's out there so more would be converted and many Williams owners try to keep the cars standard or spend the money elsewhere. The WIlliams engine is thinner clyinder walls but there no...

Depends on the insurance compnay this threads been cleaned up but 16v_jon has a 172 conversion and its cheaper than a 172 insurance on his company same as it would be for me with my insurer as the car looks less like a theft magnet also the conversion is probaly done by the person so they know...

There a few Cups for sale at £5~5.5k on autotrader but theres limited choice How about a full fat 172 that j3ned selling its a cat C repair but £5k for a Mk2 fll fat with Cup wheels and spoiler its cheap. I'd personally got for a £4k Mk1

It won't cause any problems some peopl say it makes more power but its never been proven to on the 1/4 mile some say it affects low speed idle other say no effect. personally I'd stick with 95 RON and treat it to 98 RON for track days.

Good idea but think of the costs to get a proper powerful engine ie one where you don't have to limit boost massivly to stop detination ECU + mapping +fitment £2k Strip down to replace pistons with lower comp one + pistons £1.5k New injectors £500 Intercooler + piping £1k Thats already £5k...

You can have insurance on a car you don't own. However you have to tell the insurer. Personally I wouldn't bother just keep the policy running its not exactly a huige criminal offence. I've done the same thing before on a car..

Nothing wrong with white some of the fastest Clios are white (the race cars). I'd go with lowering first.

Since they only "work" on a closed throttle you cannot make any more power on a RR etc so thats that idea out the window. Since they have been forced to stop falsly advertising by the advertising watchdog I wouldn't exactly trust them. Also since the main car companies havn't got a deal...
