Doesn't change to show SET on the trip comp no? Does the speed limiter function work? I'd guess shagged switch initially.

I've managed to wash the meggy and got a coat of egp and some carnuba on it but rain will most likely have ruined it by tomorrow I imagine :dapprove:. Will definetly be coming for a look tomorrow! Its looking real well

Sounds very similar to when I had water ingress in the loom on my old 172 used to do the same thing, although that used to trip into limp mode before it got that bad.

21" both sides.

p**n, i'd prefer the hardtop but wouldn't turn a convertible down. Just think it looks funny with the roof up.

I couldn't give you a subjective answer but tbh, with that fact that there are plenty avaliable and most are cup packed I wouldn't buy one without both unless it was very very cheap.

Sunroof ruins it.

I imagine that when they've had the engine mount off and jacked the engine up and down to get to the tensioner they haven't been very careful and its blowing out the manifold to cat joint or another joint. Or the exhausts been rusted somewhere and the movement has broken it.

Mine now i've got it:

Not for me, but its horses for courses at the end of the day.

Peeps coming from a reasonable distance are probably stopping in hotels tonight so will be travelling up today.

Ha eagle eyes lol. Looks better for it, nice little touch.

I was paying £1300 at 20/3ncb.

Yes the exhaust can/will make that much difference especially if its blowing badly early on in the system and there will be nigh on zero back pressure which won't be helping. Can't say I ever remember my 172 blowing out the filler cap, does it compression test fine when cold and then warm?

Better off with the NGKs but i've ran super 4s and normal bosch plugs no problem.

Yep, just checked its using the Nissan designed M4R. Its designated by nissan as the MR series so i'd guess it'd be an MR20DET. So different ballgame in tuning one, you can't pinch 197 parts.

Its not the same engine as a 197, the 197 uses the F4R like the 1*2 and loads of other things before that (meganes/lagunas). I'm pretty sure these are using the new M4R lump hence why its 138bhp as the standard tune F4R is 136bhp and looks completely different. The VVT is there for driveability...

Painted the centre cap bolt black?

That is a specialist.

Sounds reasonable really, the gearbox oil isn't on the service schedule but i'd 100% recommend it doing is well worth it. Cambelt kit parts wise is £200odd last I remember so I wouldn't say £540 is too had considering the labour involved.

Nice, quite warming to the cup spoiler on them. Whats with the exhausts though?

The ECUs are coded to the car as part of the immobisiler function, you need a new ecu which for least hassle needs to be a dci 65 one and someone with a renault clip computer so it can be coded to the car.

Can do although it still leaves a good run to the drivers side washer. Should work i'd have thought, easy enough to get to to change if needed. Just change the sodding washers you big girl :rasp:.

Thats the wrong side! lol Light washer lines run passenger side arch.

Get 195/50s, they're far far cheaper and offer no defecit.

You'd need to install the necessary senders for oil pressure and temp for those to work, I think the level gauge will work from the off with an RT.

Goes up to £270 iirc.

Theres just something that doesn't look right about, might just be the colour on a Ph1 as i've never seen one before. Not as good as sunflower or flame on one though.

197 for me, I wouldn't go 182 -> 197 but buying fresh I can't see the point as it stands to buy the 182.

They always seem to employ some beauties in the parts department. Although I currently seem to have found a good one which seems few and far between.
