    Question about locking tools

    No its not renaultsport specific, he won't have any problems going this far without using the pulley locking tool but he needs it to slacken the exhaust pulley nut and the dephaser pulley bolt off to allow the new belt to be fitted properly.

    What Bolts??

    They'll rip the threads out of the inlets before the bolts shear, the inlets are only ali. So new bolts might be a waste of time! Worth looking first, have to go down other routes if its ripped the threads.

    potential gearbox diff problems

    ^This, pretty sure he does the bolted retainer mod? Never have the problem again after, plus you'll get a minty fresh box after.

    Oil light on when turning

    I'd say its more to do with the oil expanding slightly rather than vapour causing a false reading. In the real world I very much doubt it makes a difference.

    My car is imported, does it HAVE to have 'GB' on the front plate?

    To someone that knows what they're on about, yes imo. In the real world 99% of people don't have a clue about it. I wouldn't loose sleep over it anyway.

    Yeh in the real world its just normal, nothing special anywho.

    Does anyone know anything about my car?

    Extremes of that age came with colour coded bump strips from oem, the suspension difference is the usual "sports" suspension fitted to the 1.4 16v and 1.6 16v cars.

    172 cup rear caliper alternatives?

    Saxo VTR/VTS and 106 GTi share them, and the Ph3 dCi100 and 1.6s have them too. A 2005 dci100 should have them, but the 60 and 85 not.

    182 cooling system

    Theres a bleed bolt on the thermostat housing that must be removed when your filling it. As you can't fill the rad up with the thermostat closed you'll need to fill it cold then run the engine with the expansion tank cap off and get ready to add more coolant quickly when the thermostat opens as...

    Dropping out of gear when planting it

    They don't really settle down you just start to block it out. I ended up going back to oe ones as it drove me nuts. It'd probably benefit from a new upper mount too but its no quite so cheap.

    Where to get an oil temp reading on a ph2 172.

    In an ideal world it wants to be in the sump, but a sandwich plate would be fine i'd say not 100% the best but always going to have a good flow of oil across it. +1

    Whiny engine.... for a moment.

    I'm going with this, mines exactly the same and always has been as long as i've had it. Deffo comes from the oil pump area of the engine and isn't the aux belt slipping and its had 2x new belt and tensioner through its time with me and always the same. Sure the 172 never did it though. Doesn't...
