oil temp is in deg c (the 'F' like symbol is the 'temperature' symbol) top dash is black, bottom bit is grey - standard should all be black imo

I've fitted oil level and temperature already, but I've used the mk1 sender (which does both) into where the mk2 sender for the oil temp goes with oil level to the left very trick gauges to have! :D

I'm planning to put in a t-piece with both attached Reason is, although the oil pressure guage is more useful, I'd be far more likely to notice a big red light on the dash than if the gauge were to drop to 0... the gauge is sometimes hidden by the steering wheel, based on how you're sitting :D...

yep, sounds about right (based on the mk1 readings)

Interested in the thread info for the oil pressure switch, as i need to wire up my oil pressure guage.... dunno why they got rid of them in the mk2, one of the best guages in the mk1!

very nice s'ah :cool:

I'm confused, are people being sarcastic? :dapprove: cover the metal gasket from the downpipe to the manifold with silicone? :dead:

you can seal it with exhaust silicone?! (never heard of it) where does one acquire such stuff?!

mines blowing at this joint too... does the renault kit include any paste? or is it just that metal gasket? quite annoying :(

Re: My mk1 track car blog sorry to bug you mate... but do you have a couple of those steering rack green pipes still? :o

excellent, please do :)

yep, that's my reasoning too the head is good though, so could easily just swap the BE's over...

I'm just going through options of what to do with the knocking bottom end regrind the crank.. again... 2nd hand bottom end 2nd hand crank or even a new crank if the price was reasonable you read the head rebuild thread and saw the vids yeh? massive bottom end knock...

ahahaha cheers! :D that's that option out the window ;)

don't suppose anyone knows how much a new 172 crank is from Renault? my version of dialogys doesnt list the price

Re: 80% complete 172RWD! - updated :eek:

I've plonked a 172 engine into a mk1 and I'm using the 172 (ph1?) manifold with a custom downpipe thing is, its blowing massively... its *slightly* out of line... by a few degrees maybe... but this shouldnt be an issue has the engine rocks anyway.... but the downpipe join im using comes...

bump did you ever find this out?

cheers! :D

ohhh... this would explain why mine feels slow.. its not warmed up... fancy!

bump where are those instructions for wiring in the coolant temp guage :D

corrected wonder what it's like to be only 19, yet hated by so many (some of whom might be willing to physically inflict it on him) - in that he's not even willing to post on a forum, in a shroud of debt and to be utterly incapable of the profession he states to be in (although he doesn't...

is that not due to the head?

I'll try and get a proper audio recording of it tomorrow then, see if we can properly diagnose it... it's not a nice sound though :( whats different about the espace BE? I thought just the heads were different :o

tried that.. i can't really feel anything is an espace F4R BE the same as a clio?

i'll give that a go now ditz :)

it was water damaged..but I only found that out after buying :( (I knew it was knocking, just not the cause) Dan has photos of the whole bottom end apart so I assume he fitted new bearings, but who knows with him... his shoddy workmanship is so apparent in th engine... funny how he is still...

can't imagine an alternator making those noises :S

alternator is on and tightened unload load (1st + 2nd) and overrun

coming soon: "Removing and refitting F4R bottom end and crank" :rolleyes:
