2.5k kick is where its at ;).

Get a new one they cost about £7 or so from renault or at least they used to.

I know which one you mean and its very much not a 172 thank god. Well ruined it certainly is though.

Peoples lack of thought of the seriousness of jacking a car up never fails to amaze me. I hope you didn't even consider getting under it on those.

If it is brand new and sealed like he says you'd have to smile if it was dead from the start, don't think theres much chance of a warrenty replacement these days lol

Proper renault ones are. Specialist renault breakers will sell you 2 complete new ones for £350.

Cambelt should've been done 2 years ago with a 51 plate, other than that just make sures its had its services every 12k/2years.

Its clips onto those slats in the arch liner.

You checked the oil level? Its a low oil pressure warning light so I hope it hasn't been on too long. If the oil is low then it should take it off if it isn't then it could be bad news. Wants 5w40 putting in it.

Unless you've got a decent ammount of mechanical aptitude then don't both.

yep

Pull like f**k, they've bonded on but they will come off with some serious pursuasion. Twist it as your pulling will be very tight.

Back arches and it'd be wet under the rear bench too, you'll probably have to have all the carpets and the underfoam out to dry it properly anyway so getting the hose on it then should show where its getting in. A blocked skuttle drain fills the skuttle up to the level of the heater then it runs...

Yep specific as far as I know, and its not the kind of thing to bodge really.

26ohm +/-4ohm

Ah, will it not go back on for the time being? Or is it completely fudged?

Agreed, unless the clutch is almost new it'd be a false economy not to change it too.

Not helpful but jesus I payed less than that at 19 with 2ncb, I really fail to see how going named driver under parents is a better idea in the long run. This is a prime example, the ncb is the best thing to get built up.

Probably going to be stuffed and have to get them from renault, can't anywhere else having them. Tuesday will be the quickest they can get them at this point. Time to start parking with it in gear until then, you've still got handbrake on one side though yeah?

About half three this afternoon you were waiting at the lights just before the coton arches, was heading into town on the other side. Car was looking good. How you reverse with that seat i'll never know!

Loose the brows but other than that looks fine to me, not a fan of the bumper vent but at least it looks functional. And jesus thats a short gearknob.

Subframe off and out the bottom can be done on stands easy.

Think the dci's always have some air in the fuel lines.

You need to take the back wiper off then it comes off iirc, you'll need a bearing puller to get the wiper arm off though as it will be mega mega toight.

What fred says +1 as you'll never get the air out the ABS pump without clip to cycle the pump.

Nope not in a clio, need clip for that or the snapon stuff can go that far I think. Changed the seat or just the airbag and pretensioner?

Yeh will be one of the wheel cables if you still have a partial handbrake. Not massively difficult to change or expensive iirc.

3-4mm is nothing to worry about, on my old 172 the injectors used to click like crazy which sounded like the top end so make sure it isn't that. Other than that oil/filter change with some good 5w40 (ie silkolene pro s,etc) is about all you can do without major work. Tappets/lifters are non...

Cables most probably, could be any of 3 so you need to get under and have a look.

Wheel pushed is it bad news, as is the battery moving. How quick did you hit said wall? Can't tell without pics but it sounds like something serious is bent (chassis leg) and its scrap time.
