Its the override switch for the speed limiter, hes got a 182 cup guys so he's got cruise/limiter.

As i've gone from 1.2 -> 1.6 -> 2.0 i've found it much easily to get good mpg without trying as the engine size increased, guess its due to it being less stressed normally ploding about. Currently getting 37.6mpg from the 172 around town so i'm pretty chuffed, and managed 260 miles (and...

Sometimes they don't use a seperate wire and you need to splice into it, it'll still be blue/white though.

Yeh I know how anal renault are with copywrite etc, so its had its limited period have taken them down now.

Stick it in 5th at 30mph and floor it, if the revs rise and your speed doesn't then its slipping.

Check the fuse for the clock/radio, think there on the same one for a start.

I'd agree with that, you got lucky by the looks of it!

Nope electric fault warning light, could be a variety of things on a 1.2 16v. Needs to have the fault codes read to know what it is.

Blue mini ISO plug.

Nope, i'm afriad not.

Nope the factory fit changer will only work with the factory fit headunit.

53 plate Ph2 172, 26k and pretty much minto at the moment heres hoping it stays like that! (now with carbon splitter ;))

I'm paying £1700 on the 172! :mad: Sounds like a top quote to me :).

eh? everyone i've seen is under the passenger seat? edit: beaten to it.

Damn right, faaaaar to much electrical stuff to get wet.

Its dynamique btw ;). Yep they'll fit straight on, no idea about cost but they usually crop up for sale on here for about 30-40 notes.

For the price you can't complain at all, can pay that price for about 12 crimps in halfrauds. Might grab one myself infact, always handy to have.

Thats not a general driveshaft thing, thats the part page with all the details for a Mk2 172 entered into dialogys. So both have probably been fitted at some point in production, you'll most likely have to measure it.

10w40 is not the right oil for a 172, it should be 5w40 fully synth.

Not necessarily, the AA can read/reset fault codes. Then theres tools like this: http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2400

Its pissing out fluid because its overcharging and boiling the electrolyte. New alternator needed, the voltage reg is an internal part of the alternator, you might/probably need a new battery now too if its buckled the plates.

Nah just a guess on it being 2nd hand, might have a shagged voltage regulator. According to the haynes manual when loaded it should be between 13.2 and 14.8v so it doesn't look too promising tbh.

Just carries on afaik.

16v is far too much, should be looking for circa 14.4v when charging. Used alt I take it?

Yep maxogen but there £££

Limiter is 6250 on the 1.2 16v iirc, and it shouldn't be stopping anyway.

Oh well i've gone and started it all over again :dapprove:, still nice improvement :D. K-Tec carbon splitter, improves the front end look loads I think :).

Somethings putting it into limp mode, could be anything though. You need to get the fault code read to give you an idea whats causing it.

Yep they don't like being rushed, thats what kills them.
