Yeh, it's for a ph2 172. Funny thing, he left it as an answer phone message lol

I remembered correctly then, as I phoned Renault for my key code and they gave me a 4 digit number ffs.

Get rid of the induction kit :)

Well, While waiting for a customer to turn up to collect her car, I got mine in to do the ARP's. All others done, Got some camber bolts to fit and fitted a new ballast today aswell as the passenger one started playing up.

yeh I get what you mean, although in my experience when valves drop the timing doesn't get affected, it just mashes the valves and chambers in every cylinder.

FLOL, I certainly had a different idea in my head when you said you work from home lol

Little present for the F4R, mainly so it doesn't go bang when on the rollers. Being fitted this afternoon as we have no work in(onless some parts have arrived for a customers car)

oops, sorry I only read it was a new unit, to which clip could program it. didn't realise it was an second hand unit/

Good result! whats the spec?

Certainly budget for a dephaser when you do the belts next.

Is the code a 4 digit one Mick? Its been such a long time since i've done keys.

My 130k lcr was much more reliable than the 60k one I had before hand. And half of the lower mileage clios I have in I'm pulling to pieces due to having bad work/wrong parts fitted.

tbh its difficult to say, it is likely to have caused some damage running it with no oil.

They will need CLiP to be able to program it.

As soon as I saw the OP I thought of that exact video. Funnily enough I had a similar experience but at 60mph on a single carriageway. And like you, and the OP WE ALL SAID "fcking hell" almost immediately afterwards lol

All of their marks they'd made lined up lol. exhaust cam was about 8* retarded.

That was under heat shield too.

As above.

Auto silicon hoses are ok, but don't deal with heat very well. My LCR set fire to a silicon bend above the turbo on a hard drive back home lol

Or knackered shocks.

14.2v is just the alternator charge. however, if the battery has only dropped to 12.4 over night its not a bad one. there can be dodgy cells/plates breaking up which can cause abnormal voltage drops.

You need to be under the car to drop the tank iirc. If your just swapping pumps, you don't need to drop the tank.

I can hear the injecotrs ticking in the second video, also a very light rattle which could be the tensioner hitting the stops, I know Fred had pointed out this to Renault before. Edit, as posted by Gorms.

My 172 is running 197bhp and still happily returns nearly 40mpg...

Sounds like either an immobiliser issue (starting and cutting out) crank sensor (not Recognising the engine is turning) or If its not turning over atall then potentially battery

I've just been tagged in it lol. It appears I was correct.

I've had a few in with incorrect cam timing and that has caused poor fuel economy.

You can get the clips out usually, leaving just a nut.

That's going to be very close to the subframe I think.

Small update, solid top mounts fitted last night. They are the compbrake ones, which according to here will make my rear wheel fall off and give my mum the flu. TBH I've had compbrake ones on my LCR with no issues of them loosening off, so I'm not that worried. Old setup: Cleaned...
