172 and the Cup are both the same, 54mm lower bolt spacing. The wider track on the cup is given by using ET37 Turinis rather than the ET48.5 FF wheels.

Belts on their own aren't very expensive and it'll probably be fine if its a new one, I know your not supposed to retension them. Had to drop mine off my old 1.6 a few weeks after i'd done the aux/cam belt as I managed to pinch the a/c compressor wiring under the alternator :o, put it back on...

You can get your hand down the back of the soundproofing and pull it out easily enough, its only pushed into the skuttle panel from underneath and theres a stud to support it sticking out the bulkhead. Probably have to take the upper inlet off to get access though I can't remember. Rear arches...

Mid/Late 52s will have ESP, Cruise/Limiter was very late 53 when they started using 182 bits basically.

Dropping the aux belt off the crank pulley so theres no tension on it would be a lot easier by the sounds of it.

You can yes but obviously you'll have to send it away and cost.

Theres no easy way to bypass it unfortunately, got to be a wiring problem or similar. You throughly checked everything?

Which engine 65/80/100? If its gearbox oil then I imagine its leaking out of the input shaft seal but i'd expect the clutch to be slipping as well though.

Probably a (poorly fitting) custom job, don't reconise it myself anyway.

Brilliant pics, theres some brave people there.

Thats turned my opinion on it now i've seen some proper pics quite like it actually especially the wide rear arches. Bottom hinged accelerator pedals get on my tits though!

I found my 172 handled better on 15s only trouble is it looks shocking at standard ride height.

All your perfectionism and your getting under the car with a scissor jack :nono:. Invest in some stands and a proper jack before it breaks and ends up on the deck or worse on you.

1.2->1.6->172->225 I seem to have a renault thing going on bigtime.

Anyone know of any? The biggest I can mind only goes up to a 205 which is useless as the megane is wearing 235s so want something I can get it on. Any ideas? I could make some at work but as i'm bone idle i'd rather just buy some :).

I would've thought the valver one was bigger as in that bay it needs all it can to keep it cool. I'd get a proper valver one myself.

I'd love to know how people manage to pull the driveshaft out tbh, you'd have to be very rough with it to get it out imo.

If its for a renewal then just make a price up and they'll beat it in my experience as long as its not silly. For example renewal for my 172 was £1500, said i'd been quoted £1400ish elsewhere and they came back with just under £1300.

Aux belt will be fine as long as it hasn't done over 36k already. I'll echo the 5yr thing though, i'd be getting it done at 4.5 years max.

Its underneath the cup holders/ash tray, remove the center console 4 bolts and the plug.

Search ebay for airbag reset theres companies in the UK that can do it now.

The coolant gauge work properly? How do you mean struggle?

Gearbox oil is 100% worth doing imo. Should be on the service schedule every 36k imo.

Get the hose blasting up them and you'll soon see. (I seem to have a thing for hoses in this thread hmm)

I must have skill then :cool:.

Nothing you can do and its fine.

Keep trying, they're easy! Try doing one on a Megane 2!

The older ones werent I don't think.

The rear arches are known to have been poorly sealed but it'd be wet under the rear bench as well if it were leaking in there. So dunno, investigation is required!
