I ran parade spec 2'a in this size an I can't fault them, yes there not as good in the wet but there not as terrible as people make out. At the end of the day you drive to the conditions. For the money I don't think there bad tyre

That's what I did in the end bud, cheers for the reply

Got me 197 in bits doing the Cambelt, got all the Renault tools the crank pin, 1496 can locking took an 1801 an 1509-01 now before I whip the belt off I'm checking the timing. Cranks locked but can't quite get the 1496 in the end of the cams, looks like the exhaust can is slightly out. What to...

That's shocking my old 172 would return nearly 40mpg on a run, even my 197 is better then that an that's shocking lol

Standard equipment is plenty good enough unless your planning on upping the power drastically i.e. boosting

Awesome car, can't believe i havent seen this thread before

Sounds like my kind of guy haha ;)

Where are you getting the parts from? Poor quality refurbs?

Number now stored in me phone seeing as i'm local, cheers dave haha

I've used them in the past for spares an they've always been prompt with delivery an know there stuff.

Wounded mate, try contacting renparts ltd. There quite helpful an gotta be worth a try. Oh an welcome

Just seen this in the classifieds, can't believe it. Must say i'm in a similar position, selling my 197 once i'm back from the ring in august to put torwards a house an going to get myself another 172

Well todays been one of them days, was hoping to get round to doing me cambelt on me 197, but due to the golf being abit of a pain it soon went out the window. Well anyway heres the outcome of todays efforts New black hood (mohair) fitted

There not bad but top part of inlet does have to come off. Maybe but it was proberly best part of 15 years ago when my old man had his saph

Looks alot better, those first few pics look like the originals have took there toll of nasty harsh chemicals (like used down your local polish car wash) I keep mine nice an fresh using autoglym bumper gel ;)

Yeah, whip the plugs out too an see what colour they are. Always a good indication. Ooooo cossies, most my family are or were into fords. Cossies an RS's, good knows what got me into french cars lol

Don't like to guess tbh, is it doing it constantly yet or still when warm? The problem could still lye within the ignition system i.e plugs, leads or coilpack. If i lived closer i'd come sort it for ya lol but theres a few hundred miles between us haha

Have you actually checked if you get a feed to the motor itself?

Top stuff matey, let us know how you get on

Well tbh theres no point now as it hasn't solved the problem. Have you got a code reader handy or do you know someone who has?

Nah shouldn't have to reset the ecu. Did you actually manage to check the old sensor with a multimeter?

Could be the coil pack cause cylinders 2 and 3 do spark together (due to wasted spark ignition) but first off try sparking it off the inlet, swap leads to just to makesure its not them

I've always used slicone, even at the garage. As Laine says it doesn't crack an crumble an it won't combust haha

No worries, fingers crossed it solves the problem for you

Not to bad, atleast you aint got a least as long as your arm :)

Even though the door will more then likely come off an identical car the paint itself still might not match perfectly

From what I remember from my Saxo days the saxo pumps are quite costly even second hand an I've seen quite a few fail over the time :s

Awesome, great to see someone follow a project up instead of just talking the talk. Aa much as I love my clio's (I've had 2 of them a 172 & my current 197) I also love my Saxo's, I started with a 1.1 an then onto a wicked red vtr, which I lowered on some pro race 1.2's full magnex system with...

Or if you can get a pressure tester on the cap an pressure rise it, that will soon show any leaks buddy
