    My 172 won't go above about 5,500 rpm when in gear.

    Nope, take it back and put your old coil back on.

    My 172 won't go above about 5,500 rpm when in gear.

    Then it's most likely load related rather than a timing issue. Diagnostics needed really but I suspect a MAP sensor issue.

    Direct injection mate, its bloody brilliant for fuel consumption (when it works). VAG and BMW have perfected what the French struggled to do with the IDE's

    My 172 won't go above about 5,500 rpm when in gear.

    Does it rev freely when it's not moving?

    My 172 won't go above about 5,500 rpm when in gear.

    I assume its properly warmed up? If so, diagnostics. Mick

    s4.

    My brother has just sold his '07 plate 530 to get one of these (in Red). Looks lovely, sounds epic and shovels torque like a punch to the kidneys from Tyson.

    SERV and ABS Light On Dash

    As per the OP's original post he said it happens at speeds of 50-60mph or greater so unlikely to be the brake pedal switch and more likely a faulty reluctor ring on the driveshaft. If it was a pedal switch fault it would be declared or MIL "on" as soon as the system finishes its integrity check...

    Wheel bearing price at garage?

    Fronts from me are £80 per side fitted using 'F.A.G' bearing kits. Rears... Replace the discs with genuine parts as above as they're pressed in as an assembly. Never use cheap bearings as its a false economy. I've never seen them as cheap as £10 though... I wouldn't trust that running a bike...

    Epic Emmisons MOT fail Help needed

    It doesn't have a MAF I'm afraid it's uses a MAP sensor. I'd be tempted to have it plugged in and have the live data liked at and pay attention to the coolant temp sensor value to be sure it's accurate. Also take a look at the MAP sensor when the engine is off (value should be around...

    Epic Emmisons MOT fail Help needed

    I really would like a Logan myself. just a few questions: What is the overall condition of the vehicle (runs okay, not using more fuel than normal) and are there any poor sections of exhaust allowing air in? What were the actual emission readings? Mick

    2003 172 Cup (CS sticker)

    I know which is mint for me as I'm specifically after a Cup. Just wondered if anyone knew any more about this specific one?

    2003 172 Cup (CS sticker)

    Anyone know anything about this as it has CS stickers in the back window? I'm actually tempted for this myself to replace the Laguna with but wondered if anyone knew the car and more importantly, its past? 2003 Renault Clio Standard Car 1998cc Petrol 172 cup (OE03 RWJ) http://bit.ly/RkI7WL...

    ESP / Traction control

    Needs CLIP time I'm afraid matey to say what's gone off or how best to proceed. It does sound like a general system fault though. Mick

    There are four glow plugs in total - one per cylinder. Note, these are not to be confused with the thermoplungers. Mick

    iMac 27... Prospective owner questions

    I've gone for the 3.1 i7 and will bump it to 12-16Gb RAM when I get it.

    iMac 27... Prospective owner questions

    DaFuq!?? So why can't they just give that in the dirt place then? Brand integrity BS gets my goat at times. Just got an i7 from that link with the 2Gb VRam and still came in cheaper! Cheers

    I'm not a student though. Won't they require proof?

    iMac 27... Prospective owner questions

    Decided to go new... £1350 used vs £1560 new is not a gamble I'm willing to take for such a pricey purchase.

    I knew you'd come here and shake that "I told you so" stick. How's your Omex? LoLz

    iMac 27... Prospective owner questions

    I'm with Dan on this, and its not like the standard IPS displays are terrible. I've got my eye on a 1yr old i5 machine with x2 Thunderbolts which he's asking £1300 for with 12Gb ram and 1Gb video but I've not ruled out new just yet. My nearest Apple store have just quoted £1649 for a new i7...

    iMac 27... Prospective owner questions

    I've got a friend that works for white square, they're a premium seller and he's spec'd pretty much that for me to. Just waiting on a price though but he said it'll be on a friends and family discount (bet it's still £1600) Mick

    Cheers chap, something else to ask then.

    iMac 27... Prospective owner questions

    There's loads of 2011 machines knocking about of varying specs and coming from a PC background I know very little so I'm after some opinions. Firstly, new vs used: Is there anything to look out for with these to avoid buying a used lemon other than damaged casings and dead pixels? (Not that...

    Cam belt failure 10 months after it was done

    The woodruff key only helps it doesn't make it entirely bomb proof as they can still sheer but, it's pretty essential. This is why I'm glad I'm not a tuner though... Standard is generally a lot more hassle free.

    Cam belt failure 10 months after it was done

    Firstly, you should be fair to them and give them the opportunity to put it right.

    Cam belt failure 10 months after it was done

    It *should* have warranty but as with all things in life, it's not always that simple with some places. Be nice and if you've got paperwork, if they don't honour it, get ginger! I hit something in the road whilst driving a customers R26 after a clutch change last week so I called him and...

    New owner, now 172 won't start once warm???

    Take it somewhere that knows what they're doing... Guessing will get expensive and is unlikely to fix it. Mick

    New owner, now 172 won't start once warm???

    That's not CPS then and more likely to be CTS which if you've had changed should have sorted you out... Let us know. Mick Diamond Motors

    Maybe not the best way to go either... And thats coming from an already short, ginger and angry man!
