as per title, could anybody help me out with this? im hoping the wires are the same colours (the plugs are different:mad: ) havn't looked to see if the wire colours match up yet im too scared lol but i can see them being a proper nightmare to wire up

in the middle of fitting mine, has any body else had this problem? the angle of the middle section where it bends over the axle is completely wrong i've had to releif cut it and bend the thing upwards just so it can meet up with the cat and leave the backbox in a nice position unless its...

as per title really, at present my immobiliser isnt coded but when cranking i have no spark, no injection pulse and no fuel pump prime, is that right? the fuel pump does power up (you hear a donk from the pump)when you turn the ignition on for a split second but thats it. it also runs if you...

the 172 dash loom i have has the plug for the climate control panel, which obviously dosn't match up to the poverty spec heater blower controll, what im wondering is is it all multiplexed through the uch or should i be able to pick out the blower motor wiring from the plug and mate it to my...

read on here that fred used 1.2 running gear on his 172 converted clio,, but i've got the engine out of mine tonight and started matching things up i've noticed the 1.2 shafts are different in that they dont have the carrier bolted to the block they just come straight from the gearbox to the hub...

anybody know what im looking at. i have,, matching ecu, uch, instrument panel and looms. and also the details and immobiliser code from the vehicle they came out of also have what i assume is a blank new plip key still in the bag from renault once the lot is bolted in if i were to tow it...

in my rush to throw the f4r on the engine stand i forgot to mark the flywheel,,, i take it the 'missing tooth' on the pickup lines up with the tdc sensor when the engine is timed up at tdc with the timing pin in? could somebody confirm this for me cheers

does anybody have/know where to get the locking tool to hold the pulleys while cracking off the pulley bolts. ive done a couple of f4r's in the past and i've just gunned the bolts off but seen as i've been doing a few more recently i'd like the proper tool. also, just to make my life a tad...

never that bloody simple though is it, after quite alot of messing about. no a monumental amount of messing about,,, i finally have 95% of the parts i need. engine arrived today, so went straight up on the stand for a bit of a clean and my pile in the corner of the workshop lol... its all...

want to paint a 172 inlet a matt black colour,, want it obviously being in the engine bay to be quite durable to heat and what not.. so normal cellulose is out of the question any reccomendations? cheers

i've read from various places that once the ecu/looms uch etc etc have been disconnected sometimes they lock and need plugging in to clip to be reset before it will allow the engine to start would this still be an issue if i were to send the ecu to be decoded bin the immobiliser etc??

putting the best parts of the 2 parts together on my conversion.. does anybody know if the.... 1.2 subframe, wishbones, shafts ( to keep narrow track) will work with 172 hubs shocks and brakes? ie will the splines on the cv joints of the 1.2 shafts match up to the 172 hubs? going to...

rather serious problem with my 172 engine i received today and would like to speak asap. cheers

just a quickie i know alot of people have deleted the PAS pump from the 172 belt system how did you go about it also how the hell did you go about sourcing a belt cheers something along these lines? might aswell just leave the ac pump there use it as a pulley

can somebody do me a huge favour and let me know the part numbers and retail prices for a F4R cambelt kit with all required seals end caps etc etc. want to order it from renault tommorow and last time i used renault the partsmen were absolutely useless and refused to even try to help without a...

right im gathering parts today for the conversion... going pretty well found everything i need except i've just looked at my samco induction pipe for the 172 and heres me thinking i could use the pipercross i had on my 1.2 with it well needless to say its like slinging a sausage up oxford...

as per the title really - cant really see where they could have built the wider track in to the car, as traditionally it would be a difference in the hubs,, but i've read on here hubs are the same?? cant be in the wishbones as the bodys are the same across the range and the camber would be out...

right 172 conversion is going ahead in my car slowly but surely been colecting parts and the bulk of it is being ordered from matt black mid this week. i want to delete the abs system as one its useless and 2 for ease of fitting. couple of questions - is the standard master cyl still usable, i...

if so how did you go about doing it? origionally i was going to loose the sub as i was sick of it sliding about and it looked so out of place in the boot but after a quick look tonight it near enough lays in the spare wheel well with about an inch taking off the box it will disapeer in to the...

right after much messing around with options and etc the 172 conversion is now going ahead for my car - have managed to get together as much information as i need other than... the electric rack in the 1.2 - can this just be disconnected along with the electric column wiring etc and just use...

i was thinking about this the other day and couldnt really get my head round it - using front wheel spacers, you are not only widening the track but you are extending the "swing" of the front wheels aswell? sort of when turning lock to lock the front wheels are actually moving backwards and...

i dont know why exactly i came up with this i think i was just having a bit of a bored moment - but say you were to move the crankshaft sensor clockwise/anticlockwise around the crank a few degrees would it r****d/advance the igniton timing alone or would it put the injection timing out too...

Well the sub in the back of my car i have now decided is just a great big dead weight - which sildes all over the place on the country lanes even with 3 branches of halfords worth of velcro stuck to the thing. so im now looking at ditching the sub and keeping my quite expensive decent amp and...

think they look quite nice myself, and definately more grip. for anyone wishing to fit these to the non sport models-the lagunas they come off use a 205 55 16 tyre which frankly are huge and are no good for the clios as on the front the tyre fouls the shock by quite alot. so you will need some...

im guessing yes? thanks

getting the wheels refurbed before i get new tyres put on - do you think black would look good? im thinking satin. dont suppose somebody could potatoshop them on there for me? spent my entire existance trying to get the pattern part wing to fit aswell on the n/s, think ive got it pretty good now...

right well basically im not going to want this done untill the end of the bad weather anyway, but i just wondered basically if anybody does this sort of thing locally. i've had a few panels painted etc (car is white) and i would like the rest of the paintwork sorted properly. any idea of what...
