see above post for matts number if you get really stuck i have one spare (complete assembly) but would prefer to not post it

them calipers look a hell of a lot like xkr/db7 rears... i hope thats the case as i have one of those hmm.

kin hell never heard of that before if it is the case you only need the hub flange and a bearing kit matt at the breakers 01254386661 can do you both but you'll want a press to fit it youll pay quite a bit for a complete hub but i reckon about an hour less labour

cant see the torch thing working, you can probably get a non gen cat for under 100 quid. or phone matt at the breakers 01254386661

looks a bit like this, tools at work at the mo. its made by facom though its a peugeot workshop tool.

Re: 80% complete 172RWD! - updated its a black one in the engine bay controls the pump, and its earthed by the ecu (a small white wire) oh and dont be thrown by the pump not priming. mine dosnt prime as such either, it just donks on ignition and then fires up under crank

Re: 80% complete 172RWD! - updated if it were me mate, i would move the entire engine bay loom to the back of the car, ecu the lot. extend all the wiring from the bulkhead multiplug (dashboard end) back your engine loom which is now in the back of the car, then all you need to do is pick out...

its the little grey sensor on the side of the plenham my rs tuner seems to throw up loads of fantom codes that my diagnostic computer dosn't pick up, shift light being one and it seems to work fine

depends how seized they are, i've done loads but i bought a specialist tool the grips it you use with a long extension,, to be honest i wouldnt even bother attempting one without the tool

or if you want a crack of it i'll lend ya the tools and the autodata pages on how to time it up.

look up how long it will take me to get from rm78lx to you and i'll pop over and time it up.

looking at the print out the first thing i'd be checking is the cat, low lambda which means you are running rich and the fact you had engine problems assuming it was missfiring you will have dumped fuel all over the cat and caused it to burn up. if it was a high lambda reading you'd be looking...

Re: 80% complete 172RWD! - updated dont think like that mate you can sort it, had a thought. where have you extended the loom to take it all to the rear? just the individual sensor wires? if so, do you get a steady crank pulse through live data as im thinking the extra resistance in the wire my...

from what i understand all these problems you here of the standard ecu not being up to it are only because it calculates engine load from manifold pressure.. if thats the case paul from rs tuning is in the process of trying to get throttle bodies to run on a standard ecu i think i read...

i just tend to delete the metal box myself. done 4 or 5 now not had a problem. all the ones i've done have had a wire rubbed through though - if nothings damaged it wont be that causing it.

what year? the older 1.2's suffer with a wiring loom fault on top of the ecu the cover rubs through the loom might be worth a look

becuase there are a hell of a lot more 172's about!

the only real difference between 182 and 172 is the exhaust manifold, and more 172's crash than 182s so there are more donors about for conversion. probably also more of a sod to route the longer manifold

oh yeah i welded a bar from the extra support to the boot floor lol. just a small bit of round bar it just stops a bit of flex on that side been ok for a month or so

you mean the lid? i've done one on a ph1 in the past and that was easy.. renault had the part no probs. cant imagine ph2 being much different

mines exactly what you just described drums sunroof etc etc

lol no problem mate, il give ya a pm to arrange.

best ya gonna get is universal i think, they sell frames too so you'd just have to staple it at the bottom http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductList.asp?cls=ROAD&grp=RP139&pgrp=RD004&tlgrp=RD004

i'll have a little gander im sure i've seen them. cos im nice and all that.. lol

couple of saturdays time convenient? (working next saturday so saturday after?) will give you something for it obviously let me know mate.. dont mind swapping it over for ya. thanks.

christ you can really see the difference there. from somebody who knows washing a car to be throwing a bucket of fairy liquid over it and thinking itself lucky.... would i see a difference like that on white paint?

might be able to make the gearstick one fit if you bodge it on to the surround clip thing on the clio you tryed demon tweeks?

if you won that beam on ebay and you just wanted the axle, assuming the hubs are ok fancy selling me the brake setups off it? or even just the bent axle complete? cheers

yes but if you were there and didnt tell him to stop then you had given consent therefor they can charge time spent on it.

they should have asked you how far they can go with it ie if you gave them go ahead to spend 4 hours on it they will charge you for it. if they only got go ahead from you for 2 hours thats all they can charge you. if they didnt ask at all you can argue that you would have told them to stop after...
