non cup 172 for me, nearly the same inside same toys etc apart from cruise (unless u get an 04 plate) IMO the wheels are better looking on the 172 the rear looks better without the 182 wheelbarrow look! but after driving my 172 with a 182 manifold, i dunno if i could go back!!

apparently it takes up to 20 minutes driving to recharge the power used to start the car once, or so i was told

i think you might just been unlucky and its not actually UCH when you say the aircon stops working do you mean just the aircon or the fan? if its the fan thats not working it could be the (forgot the name of the part!!) under the scuttle pannel, comon fault. washer could just be a faulty...

waterpump possibly leaking, u had the cambelt done and not the pump? what year and millage is the car

i also had a problem where when i took my foot off the acelerator the car jumped as if the engine mounts were gone/loose but they were brand new, turned out to be a shafted driveshaft (it hadnt been making any clunks or noises)

that looks like eibachs or the like on the front and standard at the rear to be honest what colour are the front and rear springs

my 172 been in the garage for 5 months without start, fired it up first time yesterday no problem

DO NOT remove the head to helicoil it no need, my mate shot the plug from Cyl 3 (common problem) and it was done with the head in place. cambelt needs specialst tools from renault, other manufacturers make tools for other F4R's but not for the RS one

a mate of mine told me as soon as u insure a car as a coversion its a group 13 car minimum (may not be true though) can insure it as a kit car cheaper if over 21 i think. u will never in 1 million years do a 1.6 conversion to a mk2 ph2 for £500 lol its just as much work as doing a 172...

replicas not for me mate ive got the real thing!!

lol yeah its just my runabout not that bothered to be honest haha front bumper wasnt in the best condition paint was covered in stone chips etc being on 150k miles but wouldnt get it resprayed due to being a runabout but now i will!! might even polish it for once lol never washed it since the...

both looking good! love the cold air feed in the headlight only because we know whats actually under the bonnet and its not some chav destroyed his headlight to get a cold air feed on his 1.2 lol wish i had put the 1.6 in my 1.2 back in the day like i wanted to and built something cool!!

iirc 5th gear is the gear that causes issues when the gearbox oil is LOW so makes sence it was causing bother when it was overfilled. possibly had a n/s driveshaft (need to drain oil)

lol aye fukin grass hanging out the bumper! whaping the bumper and rad off it tomorrow morning to have a wee look make sure its all straight. lucky it was grass and mud it hit rather than a wall/tree etc so it all looks good, subframe is untouched, slam pannel fine etc so its just a new bumper...

you must be a virgin?

yeah i could have but didnt want to drive too fast due to bits of bumper dragging under car and touching the wheel lol

was snowing havin a wee bit of fun and came round a corner and there was a burst water pipe that had been running down the road that had turned into sheet ice on the road! hit it and went straight lol thru a bush and front end in a ditch lol. radiator pushed against the clutch arm that the...

yeah boost came in and i was off!

lol my dci has failed every year with the previous owner

in a ditch haha only needs a bumper and a radiator fortunately!

ive always just took the car a good long blast to get oil temperature and then drain it

haha thats what i get for being a bellend in the snow!

im 19, 190bhp 172 and 65bhp diesel bus!!! lol

lol u mean u could get xenons and climate haha

^ this guy has deffo solved the problem..... lol wtf butler 205, that happened on my 172 when the rear disks and pads and front disks and pads were badly worn because the level of fluid had dropped in the resovouir. i thought this was the same problem but its got brand new front brakes on it!

you have to pay £5.30 to get into wales, why would you want to do that?! haha

both the stop light and handbrake light are flickering on and off when going over bumps etc, thought it was possibly due to the brake fluid being low in the resevoir due to needing pads and disks but changed them today and its still doing it so im assiming its some sort of loose conection etc...

how much u wanting to spend?

performance wise im assuming they are all roughly the same but im looking for the best ie, what filters better! and what size filter im looking for? its for my 172, relocated battery so doing a cup racer setup behind the headlight and got some mental heat padding stuff to make an enclosure for it!

they map well was sure a gain of around 7bhp and similar torque gain was to be had, think thats on a standard one too, more to be had with different exhaust,cat and filter
