I am trying to work out if the very first bit that connects to the manifold is the same as a single barrel cat. Anyone got pics? Thanks

How tight do I need to torque up the nuts that hold the shaft into the hub? Oh its a Mk1 16v btw. Patrick

Right, I got my engine out today and started to swap bits over etc, I have hit a few problems/misunderstandings. Please help as I want to crack on with this in the morning! Here we go! I swapped over what I could of the aux set-up but I am not sure I used the right bits etc. I...

Having looked at random MK2 header tanks on ebay it looks like any of them with the 2 holes will work fine? In fact they look almost identical to a proper 1*2 bottle? Should I buy a used 1 for £10+ £6p+p or is there someone to get a new 1 reasonable priced? GSF and Eurocarparts dont stock...

I need to make custom pipes from my rack to my PAS pump when I fit the F4R into the mk1 shell. Has anyone done this before that could advise me? Oh and before anyone says it, no I dont want to ditch it! :rasp:

Am I right in thinking there is something missing from here?

I picked up aload of bits for an F4R conversion but now I am looking through it all I have realised I only have 1 coolant pipe, this 1: Anyone got any pics of the others I need? Thanks

How much does a 172 engine weigh? Will 3 men lift it? Would 3 people lift it easily into a van?

I need an airbox and have seen 182 boxes/Ph2 172 advertised but they look very different? What can I get away with buying? Oh its going into a Mk1 btw.

These came on my car when I bought it but have now swapped for williams wheels and these need to go as they are taking up garage space! How there were when I got them: And this is them off the car , the polished part of them has started to get cloudy bits under the lacquer and will...

Yes, it's another Mk1 16v (maybe F4R/172) Project! Right so I bought this car about 15 months ago, for the first year didnt really do anything to it apart from a few new parts etc. Then I decided I wanted to change it around a bit! I will let the pics do a bit of talking! How I bought the...

I am in need of some centre caps for my williams wheels but don't care if they are not standard as the wheels are silver anyway! (and genuine 1's are not easy to come by for cheap!) My old hybrid had a set of willy wheels with a non genuine center cap, was sort of a flat cap but had a renault...

What difference will there be if any? Patrick

My mechanic yesterday was telling me about some stuff I think it was called "stop oil" or something like that. Anyone have any idea about this and if it is advisable to use it?

It definitely needs a clean its filthy, but I didnt fit it so I dont know how you are meant to clean/re-oil it? What sort of oil do I need? Patrick

Im about to upgrade to a HTC desire on 3, but can only get a decent deal if I sign a 24 month contract. My old 18 month contract has only just expired and that seemed to last forever! Whats everyones thoughts on this? I just dont like to think i will be tied in for 2 whole years!

It is as if something is moving when I pull away. I had a similar problem before which turned out to be the wishbone balljoint, but im sure I replaced them both sides in the last 12 months! Patrick p.s. To check the wishbone bushes do you need to disconnect it from the hub and then check...

When I start my car it can be quite jumpy/jerky when i pull away, I find it is worse when the weather is quite cold. It is fine after 1-2 mins of warming up or if I drive few a few hundred yards. Would I be right in saying this may be a dodgy Lamda? Also I think the car may be over-fuelling...

Spotted this in Winchmore Hill tonight, couldnt believe the reg number when I saw it! A 172 CUP :cool:

part number R60139. R60139 BRAKE DISC-VENT 280mm CLIO 2.0 16V (CB0N) £30.50 will that be for 1 or 2 discs?

The last owner added a renault sport badge to my mk1 in place of the clio badge :rolleyes: Im guessing it is a halfords special and comes with some sort of adhesive pad on it already. So what is the best way to remove this with no damage to the paintwork? Patrick

A mate of mine thinks they will look s**t, he reckons white wheels only suite blue cars :S. I personally think they will look great especially with my red brembo 4pots behind :evil:

I am trawling ebay but wanted some recommendations, iv had a 50p case from ebay for months now and it has been great but it has recently been cracked and no longer stays on properly! Anyone bought a cheap 1 from ebay they can recommend?

After all my problems with the "alternator failing" last night got the engine running by charging my battery but I didnt have any power steering. This morning iv taken another look and i started the engine, but the belts and pulleys on the aux belt are not turning?! I'm not sure which pulley...

Just charged the battery up and put it in the car, car started fine, but a few seconds in there was a screech from what sounded like a belt, so i shut the engine off. Stated it back up again and it was running no problems, measured the battery charge and the alternator was not charging. Then I...

Someone on clio16valver made these white for me but i want to see them alot whiter! :cool: Thanks!
