    ABS/ESP/SERV - independent garage diagnostics?

    that will tell you very very little, if it communicates at all. At best thats a tool for turning lights off

    Changing Crank Pulley

    yes, the bolt clamps the 2 pulleys together and when fully tightened stops them both moving

    Changing Crank Pulley

    slightly confused by what you're asking now. The sprocket that the cambelt runs on is the part that is keyed on the megane engine, the pulley is not keyed on either the meg or the clio. If you're changing the bottom cambelt sprocket/pulley then you have to lock up the whole lot

    Spark Plug blown

    I'd use an insert rather than a helicoil. Definitely worth just trying a new plug to see if the original thread is ok first though

    Crank pulley failure !

    I've not got a lot of time for lightened crank pulleys. From anaylising balancing data, you can see that the flywheel end, even when balanced, shows a greater degree of error. Lightening the other end only serves to make the end to end difference worse

    Crank pulley failure !

    exactly that. Some engines are more sensitive to it than others, but generally replacing a damped pulley with a non damped one isn't a good idea (very popular thing to do on the jap scene)

    Throttle body....how hard isit to change?

    you're a ham fisted oaf though ;) push the plug ON apply some pressure to the clip with a screwdriver (careful, it's plastic!) , then pull the plug off. very easy

    Advise on throttle bodies

    depends on the type of bodies. DCOE and SF are different. The Jenvey manifold for the F4R is designed for SF throttle bodies, not DCOE (although it can be done but you need adaptors and it's a fair bit of extra work) ECU fitment is down to correctly wiring in, then configuring sensors. Not a...

    Swapping over the Lambda sensors?

    the front ones on a 172 and 182 are different, the rear is the same (or near enough) as one of the front ones. They all very close in length and interchangeable anyway

    Brake pad choices - suggestions please.

    Genuine are good, as are Standard Ferodo, Brembo, Pagid etc. I sell Pagid where "not upgraded" is specified

    Leaking oil sandwich plate

    I wouldn't go with a sandwich plate (not had good luck with them) I'd used a T-piece from the standard pressure switch position

    Leaking oil sandwich plate
