Personally i'd put a new clutch on it just as a matter of course and that would solve the release bearing problem, release arm from what I can tell it the same as the non RS clios so scrappy maybe? Could be wrong on that though, does look the same at first glance. Its going into a valver i'm...

No apex are still very alive, the UK distributer folded a while back though. Would imagine theres someone else now though.

Textbook case of I wanted a FF but couldn't afford it/know feck all so bought a cup then stacked/ruined it chav syndrome. See it all the time tbh.

Had the 40mm kit, be warned the ride is very harsh. Other than that no complaint, reasonable handling performance increase.

Correct, bodies and 9k redline + whatever else to get it there.

You mean the arch liners? Never really heard of it before tbh.

Well iirc the Super 1600 lump is 230bhp n/a.

I had the screen delay and intermittant controls when I fitted the alpine adapter in my 1.6 dynamique, now i've fitted it in the 172 it works perfectly! Work that one out! :S

Not sure if its different with the modus though iirc.

Theres the incartec adapter that CAD sell that gives you your stalk control back and displays "Alpine" on the display, thats £40. And theres an alpine adapter that will give you stalk and information on the screen (station name, track name/number etc), thats about £90+ though.

19 2yrs NCB, tried it at 18 but gave up and got a 1.6 for a year instead.

As said I take it up the local tip, they've got a specific bit for you to leave oil and batteries etc.

There is no way around it i'm afriad, hence why i'm paying £1700 :(.

They do drive like a dog from cold or has it changed from how it was before?

Official line is to replace the airbag computer (not the ecu) which isn't hard but it about £300+ as you can only get them from renault and then it needs coding to your car. The cheapest and best option is to send it to germany to have it reset, its £60...

Adapter wise you want these: http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/incartec-alpine-adaptor-p-3481.html?cadid=b2b991a421112eee0966e183e7b76c7a http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/29652-steeringstalk-control-adaptor-p-3474.html?cadid=b2b991a421112eee0966e183e7b76c7a Yep that alpine adapter doesn't change...

The only trouble with putting it in the upper grille like that is that you have to remove the alternator water shield, so everytime it rains water will get in.

Power steering pressure switch, its usually used to pick the idle up when you load the power steering on idle. But for some reason it doesn't on the 1*2, so i'm not entirely sure what its there for tbh.

What does the alarm say its tripped on? The LED should flash so many times to tell you after you've unlocked it, look in the manual. Should help narrow it down.

The alarm is on the other side though, so yes wipers off to get to it.

What is it out of interest?

Sounds very similar to the BMC that ^. :D.

Got to agree there, theres plenty of earth points in the dash that you can use.

Fitted a BMC to mine yesterday and the noise is bloody mental!

You can't just fit the xenon bulbs to your halogen clusters btw incase thats what your thinking. The full xenon setup from renault is about £800-£1k. For clusters, bulbs and ballasts.

Looking to get some DS2500 pads and brembo hc discs and yozza seem to be the cheapest but was wondering if I can collect? As afaik i'm not that far away, any got a postcode/address?

Yes i'm not debating dump valves they're all fine and brilliant except on a bloody oil burner.

Changing the standard pads on the 172 for some uprated ones, had greenstuff on the 1.6 and was quite impressed with them over the mintex extremes I tried and definetly better than standard. Was going to go greenstuff again but was wondering if the DS2500s were worth a look? Car won't ever see...

Righto best get some ordered then. 1m be enough? Or will I need more?

Not forgetting you look like a tosser, knocker knocker ptshhhhhhh. :lolup:
