Hardly i'd rather be in a 225 than a 172 ;).

Doubt it for that money unless he bought parts? But I doubt it very much. Probably not changed the idler/tensioner as that might means it was a waste of time. And you can't tell the condition of a timing belt or any other belt by that matter by just by looking at it.

Same question here, have got rid of the 172 and am picking my 225 up on wednesday. Still welcome on the stand or not?

Pass, all I know is that my local factor can get them and showed me one when I went for one for the 1.6.

Nope they do 100% make balljoints for the 1*2 they're different, i've seen them they do exist.

The QH ball joints will be fine, renault only sell you a new arm hence the cost whereas QH make just a ball joint hence cheaper. Most local factors will be able to supply QH stuff.

It'll just me the normal 4k rattle if its the standard exhaust. New exhaust time, yes it'll be louder by a good way.

I've been using the door speakers in the 172 for almost year and used it for 6 months in the 1.6, its been fine.

If you mean the oval plate sticker is gone off the drivers pillar theres a plaque on the top of the dash visible through the bottom right of the windscreen as you look at it and its stamped on the chassis under the drivers seat.

Re: My first attempt at a 'proper' novice valet on Cuppy Looks bloody lovely. Despite the results it still gets me racked off after a few hours!

Same aux setup across them all though barring the 172 cup so the fault could hit any of them.

Nice! Glad to see you've got it all together in the end :D :cool:. Bet its taught you a lot!

All present and correct then engine wise?

If its a Ph2 with the big spring tensioner and a/c then its a FF. Very wierd fault, would guess its got something to do with the power steering though if it only happens on full lock haven't heard anything like that before.

You should be able to hear a noise and there may be some play in the wheel.

Eibachs all the way, just a far better spring.

Do you get any inverter whine from the ballasts when the lights are on? Both sides aren't working?

Can't be done, the update lists use canbus and the tuner lists don't. They aren't interchangeable display/steering controls wise.

foul! and I can't see how it fits either, sure its for a Mk2? Oh and thats not a lot of money for an exhaust.

I've been telling people about this for ages! A lot better than paying renault for a whole new wishbone.

Superturismos

I'd put a 172 dogbone on it 100%, do not even consider powerflexing one in a non rs though as you've probably read in one of my rants about them.

As of wednesday all going well :D

LOL! Its a car it comes with the teritory it doesn't keep going on thin air and pixie dust.

You can get it out the top, would've thought it'd be easier to go out the bottom though. Gold star to him either way!

When fucked they'll drone when your moving, cause its just wear and tear. You may be able to get some play in the wheel, get it changed.

R26 all the way, still can't see the reason to have the clio over it.

You can get proper ones from renault for £6 iirc for the last one I had. Not worth using pattern ones when you can get gen ones for little cost.

Usually in the manifold afaik as it needs to be post throttle body I think. Although not 100% with turbo engines. It could be using MAF though so check for both.

Its a Ph2 so should be ABS driven though shouldn't it? Or being an early one will it be a case of renault parts bin syndrome?
