Was a bit bored on sunday morning waiting for someone so I decided to whip my inlets off on my hybrid.
Now i've seen pictures on here of inlets that are so much smaller than the gasket its unreal. But mine aren't! They are exactly the same size as the gasket. (Lower inlet btw)
So am I...
Got a W plate 172. Developed a misfire.
I have just replaced the Coil pack, Leads and Plugs and it is still doing it.
I have had one lead off at a time trying to determine which cylinder is at fault, but each time I crank it over after removing a lead, it refuses to start. Doesn't matter...
I am about to buy a car with the above problem.
Whats causing this? If I weld it in, am I just going to create more problems elsewhere??
Its a Valver btw.
I need to know as my mum has a puncture on her MX5 and I have about 15 Clio wheels and tyres lying around....
I ask on here because i'm sure there was a chap on here that swapped his MX5 wheels for his Clio wheels, but am unsure if adaptors were used.
Cheers :D

Not got the time to sort it, worth £1500 all day long once the clutch is sorted.
Ideal for someone handy with a spanner.
Just put a battery in the Valver/172 hybrid thingy and it cranked over!! :D:D
I reckon one good weekend on it and it will be finished!!
All the gagues work, EVERYTHING!
Just need fuel lines and its ready for MOT! WOOP WOOP!!!
Just had the renewal through on the Audi, just My Mrs is insured as I have my own policy.
NOTHING has changed since last year, except we are married.
The car, house, job, location, usage, 6k per year limit, excess, EVERYTHING is the same.
Just had a renewal letter through, £490...
A 172 (mk2 ph2) that has no ABS Sensors or rings. (Removed)
Under hard braking the pedal gives the feedback of ABS cutting in.
Now I'm not too sure if this is actually ABS, or another fault, but it is deffinately coming from the brake pedal.
Can anyone shed any light??

I'm desperately urgently frantically trying to find it!!!!!!
It was for a Renault 5 (or maybe Renault 7??!) alternator bracket to fit on a F4R engined Mk1 Clio 16v.

Been searching for the last 10 minutes and can't...

Just towed it up to my mates to get wiring and plumbing done. Everything else is in. :D :D :D
Then its off for a repaint, new seats/harnesses, and got some new wheels for it too :D
(excuse pic, taken on my phone....)
I have just finished fitting all the 172 running gear to my valver and it has left me with mental camber. My Shocks/hubs don't allow for camber adjustment, so what do I do??
Cheers.
RB 182 and the guy was taking lots of pictures....
Just wondered if you had any of me? (black 172 with white wheels) or my mate in the flame red 172. pm me if you want to dude.
Had a knocking noise, replaced o/s driveshaft.
Fine for one day.
