Lovely, but how come the dash strips and centre console aren't colour coded? Every one i've seen they are? Something because its LY?

Mk4 Zetec S and Ph2 VTRs are similar pace. The Mk5 ZS you'll beat comfortably. Oh and media?

Check the dipstick and see how much oil is in it! Then put more in probably, then hope you haven't fucked the engine.

foul, but horses for courses.

Everything, don't trust garages as far as I could throw one. Its not their car so they won't really give a f**k like you do when its your own car and you want it doing right (imo).

No biggie just shove it back in again?

Mine are completely solid as well. I've tried to get them out to keep them out the way when doing stuff but they just won't budge.

I think thats right. Someone else will 100% confirm it.

Thats bad new if you've been driving round on it to.

afaik the wirings all there in the main looms, you'll need an extra relay at most.

The bonnet release grommet hasn't come out has it? That usually lets quite a bit of noise into the cabin.

The front capilers won't fit the hubs and the rears won't work as you'll have problems with the ABS unless you get custom ABS rings made up and I can't remember how many teeth you need but they need to be the same as the rings that are already on the drums. Or the ABS will just kick in everytime...

You just pull them off with your fingers. Think they're about £30 each so be careful! I haven't broken the clips on any yet.

Either a Megane 225 or a Mazda 3/6 MPS, I want something quicker and it has been declared thou shalt have a turbo. Although having done the whole clio/renault thing i'm open to anything as long as it forfills the criteria.

They come colour coded on the Ph3 (>04).

It'll be ok to drive to get it sorted but I wouldn't leave it, it needs sorting asap. You don't want the grease to get on the brakes and you certainly don't want all the grease out of the joint or you'll end up buying a new driveshaft.

Diesel, to let the glowplugs warm up. You don't have to do it in a petrol but I always do anyway.

The trip computer resetting it usually a knackered battery. Which is weird as it'll start the car but won't hold the trip values. I had the petrol light problem with the 1.6, I took the plug off the sender/pump under the rear bench cleaned the connectors and it sorted that one. Mine was weirder...

The cat is shorter on the Ph1 as its a twin cat jobbie, the cat is about an inch longer on the Ph2.

Nope

Yep pretty much. Although the twisted mount is fitted to most if not all Ph2 172s.

TVR when its working all the way.

If you follow the existing sensor then it goes to a plug behind the arch liner, you get everything from this plug. Sensor and cable are as one.

Mine is a late November 03 on a 53 plate and i've got both cruise and esp, cruise is fecking awesome too ;).

tbh the weakpoint in all these things is going to be the crappy standard headunit that was never designed to navigate something like this.

Hmm strange can't get a part number for the drivers side that tallies to a price, only the passenger side. Ring the stealers is your best bet, says £35 for the passenger side one here so no major.

ESP was added to the spec on 52 plates onward. Cruise/Speed Limiter was added to the spec on late 53 plates.

Easy to replace, mine are absolutely solid in the hubs though. Not a problem if its already shot though. Hold on i'll get you a rough price and part number.

Yeh he said he'd found the compatibility with the headunits was all over the place too. Its not the best system in the world either imo, very clunky. Works mind.

As TomTom says theres a high chance it'll be the TDC sensorw which is a common thing on them tbh. Its located under the airbox (http://gallery.getflat.co.uk/v/My_Cars/2001_Clio_12_16v_Dynamique/Standard/02082005.JPG.html) on the gearbox bellhousing and looks like this...
