you want good tyres on the rear due to the rear having less grip.

unplug your fan switch-what happens? have you checked the fan relay in the n/s inner wing relay box? has it always done this?(is it the type with the timed fan operation after the engine is switched off,some models have this along with the electric coolant pump situated neare the bottem hose)

changed a few cluthches on 172s.you have to remove the subframe and it all takes about 5-6 hours.while renaults paying get it done for free.

i can remember we had some valvers where people had wired up stereos and used an earth(which wasnt intended for the stereo) from behind the stereo/centre console.this earth actually went to the inj computer and it caused the revs to stick at 1500rpm after full throttle had been applied(the...

sounds like the starter/computer is playing up(the part that supplies the high voltage spike to start the bulbs).you need a spike of 20,000volts to start the bulb and then 80volts to keep it going.i think xenon bulbs are gauranteed for 10 years.

your going to need the rest of the immobiliser system as well.only trouble is if you have a clio 2 mk2 then the immobiliser/internal computer is a different type to a clio 2 mk1 so the looms wont match up(mk1=ucbic mk2=uch).but if you fit a mk1 loom non of the dashboard controls will plug...

sounds the easier option doesnt it.

what would it do to the crankshaft?

im sure there is a way from the vehicle id plate,i will look in to it.

if youve had the car for a while and didnt notice it when you picked it up then its going to be hard to prove to the garage that you didnt do it.a lesson for everybody here,take a good look around your car before taking delivery of it.

definatly need a complete doner car i agree.

to convert it would cost you a fortune to buy all the parts new.you would need either an written off 172 so you could retreive all the mechanical/electrical parts you req(try to find one thats had a heavy rear end smash) or just sell yours and buy a 172.

it should be on there system that it has a factory fit thatchem approved immobiliser.might be best to ring them up and explain.

wouldnt be that hard to do it yourself.

factory fit immobiliser which does have a thatchem rating.you should also have a alarm certificate to prove that the alarm is thatchem approved as well.the certificate is filled in when the alarm is fitted at the import centre.

no the access oil would have just been sucked into the engine through the engine breather system.i wouldnt leave the oil level to high though as it will increase crankcase pressure and might create oil leaks.

think the mk2 looks loads better but that picture of the red mk1 looks sweet.

24,full ncd,clean license,pncd,fully comp but a rough area postcode. £700 with direct line. Anybody got a quote through the company recommended by the club yet?

mk1 172 owners know this im sure.

run some coolant flush through it first then blast a hose pipe up your hoses,radiator and block to dislodge any dirt.

youll not get an import 182 yet.all avaliable cars will be going to genuine delears due to it being a newly released model.

is there an official figure of what bhp you gain from a viper on a 172?

i think he said they come on almost immediatly after fitting the cat. he started a topic about the problem not long ago.

the suspension leg splits from the hub.just undo the 2 large nuts and bolts(either 18 or 21m cant remember)

its only because the starter moter causes a large current drain on the battery so causes the lights to dim.

where you from? i get quite a large staff discount on renault parts.labour for the rt will be the same as a williams(same design etc different bearing).you will need a press.

you may have spiked the inj computer when you jump started it.try disconnecting the battery for 10mins.

time will tell.i think he has a sensor or connection fault nothing to do with the cat.his warning light came on two soon.the computer wont have been able to self test and fail the cat however it would pick up a connection/faulty sensor problem immediatly.

gearbox would have to be removed and completly stripped to remove the diff and change the bearings.

still basically a hydraulic tappet just a different setup.
