As above, what are they worth. Do they throw up any fuelling issues as there are 2 lambda fixings. What would a custom jobbie cost?

May be of some use to someone: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/renault-clio-sport-172-gearbox_W0QQitemZ4580014429QQcategoryZ10410QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

The air feed which runs down behind the headlight into the arch somewhere, where does it go and how can I get to it? It appears to split off into 2. I tried pushing a piece of flex down it earlier to see where it went but it came to an obstuction. Is this the 20mph valve?

Is this the stupid thing that only opens above 20mph? I am wanting to remove this. Is it a difficult process to get to? Apparently you need to leave it plugged in or it throws up a fault code.

Shall I not bother then. Considering I have never lost a key in my life.

Mk2 172

When I got my car a couple of weeks ago, it only came with 1 key. I asked if there was only 1 and I was told it was all they received with the car. Are they like Fiats with a master key or are both keys the same? How much is a 2nd likely to cost?

Has anyone heard of or had experience of ChippedUK, I found them on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8003181405&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 I emailed them asking about their maps etc. and wether they are generic or model specific. Here is the reponse I...

It does look good in the pics. Not genuine Renault though.

Sorry mate. PMs cleared. It was the bodyshop opposite the swimming baths in Kippax. Seemed like a top bloke. I was recommended him by Ian from ASK.

So it went on well then? I got mine this morning but haven't had a chance to fit it. Is the length ok?

I'm up for it mate. Mk2 172. Let me know.

I thought it may be an import as in the service book there is some sort of dutch dealer stamp. Do my insurance company need to/already know about this?

No sensors IIRC

I always thought my mk2 172 would have an alarm but I lifted the bonnet the other day when the car was locked on the fob and nothing happened. Is this right? How difficult would say a Toad AI606 be to fit as they are only £102 on the 'bay.

ditto

I've been discussing this with meggerman. I am guessing you have a 172/182. There are 2 standard feeds in the box already, the visible one which goes off to the right and one which runs the length of the airbox and mates up against the side of the headlight. I am not sure how effective this...

Mine aslo arrived today but I can't collect until Saturday. Bastid

Not quite like a jigsaw. I have never done a Clio but have managed a Vauxhalls. You said you mate was a bit a whizz. Tell him to keep a weekend free, buy him a crate and away you go. Job done.

This may have been summed up before (Fred?) but you start with what, 75bhp, yuou spend £1200 notes having the engine modded to within a mm of its life, literally and you achieve 110bhp. Maybe. An F4R 172 is rated at 172 PS which equates to roughly 169bhp. I reckon you could pick an engine up...

Where do you get these ECU's from? How much are they?

Cheers Matt, Just trying to find them now. You don't have a link do you?

Bastid. Never mind. Looks like i'll have to source some shorter struts from something else.

Can gas struts be shortened. I am getting a V6 spoiler for my Clio 172 but as the V6 and Trophy use shorter struts the spoiler will catch the roof. I am not paying what Renault are asking. So can they be modded?

That's what he said. We walked around the car together. I'm not sure I would need the back bumper doing really though. He said for the 2 bumpers and bonnet it would be about £240 and it was about £70 per bumper. I then mentioned the spoiler and asked if £300 would be about right to which he...

As above, Can anyone measure their gas struts for me? I am just wanting the measurement of full extension so I can go scouring scrap yards for similar sized units after fitting my V6 spoiler. Cheers, Ben

I've just been quoted £300 to have my front and rear bumpers, a V6 spoiler and my bonnet sprayed by a local bodyshop. I didn't think it would be that steep. For the £90-£100 it will costs for the chips I think I may go with Chipsaway for that. Dentmaster for my dents and a bodyshop just for...

Cleared, sorry Dave.

Curtis, is your Ebay username 3a3e?

Vinny, mine should be here on Thursday, I can post more detailed pics if you like. Alternatively, email the guy. his name is Paul, top bloke from the short email chat I had with him. He doesn't work for Renault anymore but a couple of his mates still do. I reckon the only deciding factor...
