    Electric PAS conversion

    Hi there looking at doing this on my 172 track project. Is it worth it? I am already removing air con, and don't have the pas pipes for a 172. Does anyone know where to get a belt that fits non-pas and non-air con for a 172? From what I can tell I need the column, ecu and a controller box to...

    172 F4R engine into 1.4 8v advice please

    Im picking up some 15 inch team dynamics wheels tomorrow so hopefully I can make it work. Do I need to change the steering rack? Also do I need to change the interior loom? I have debated upgrading the wiring to that from a phase 2 as ive heard the phase 1 suffered electrical issues more, which...

    172 F4R engine into 1.4 8v advice please

    That's just standard 172 brakes then? I've heard they're pretty good with decent pads and discs though? Seems a big enough set tbf. And I take on board your point but to be honest this is more just something for me to do in my spare time than anything. I picked up the engine, gearbox, all...

    172 F4R engine into 1.4 8v advice please

    Hi everyone picked up an engine gearbox engine loom ecu and key with other ancillaries for a good price. Currently have a 1.4 8v MK2 Ph1, what else am I going to need? Done a swap before with a saxo so got some experience doing the actual swap but need help with a parts list. Can guess I need...

    My £200 Mk2 Ph1 guinea pig!

    So there may still be life in this project, I've still had it sitting around and not used it, my dad's been hooning around in it (and I've had to bump him a few mornings as the ecu set that arrived didn't work! However, I did win myself an F4R 172 engine, gearbox, ancillaries and ecu+key. For...

    Mk2 Ph1 1.4 8v - Cold start idling problem

    So I bought this car knowing it had a colder start problem. During the warm weather we had when we bought the car it was fine but now it's cooled off a bit, it is struggling again. Basically, start the car, it'll jump to 12-1300rpm as usual then drop down to idle, but it'll drop too low to...

    My £200 Mk2 Ph1 guinea pig!

    Cheers bud. I've got a fair bit of experience with lights as I do it on the side, although due to the crazing in the lense I thought these were goners. Still, a nice surprise that they came up okay, even if one is a bit worse off (tbf, it's mostly dirt inside the lense causing it). Got my red...

    My £200 Mk2 Ph1 guinea pig!

    Ah okay, wondered if I was nuts. I'll give DVLA a ring and find out how to go about. Hope it's not a big pain. Definitely. Would love to have genuine BBS RS 15x7 wheels, but they're proper rare and expensive. Will probably put fakes on tbh, i'm not planning on having this car forever. It is...

    My £200 Mk2 Ph1 guinea pig!

    Btw the reg comes up as a 16v Sport but it's definitely an 8v. Anyone else had this problem? Should this be a 16v really? I wondered if the engine died in the past and they fitted an 8v for cheapness?

    My £200 Mk2 Ph1 guinea pig!

    Guessing I wrote Ph2 like a numpty, yeah I know it's a Ph1 though bud :) As for the lights, I want a cleaned semi-euro look, so the older Ph1 lights suit that more, they're a cleaner style. It's only a fiver of film to try it out and easily reversed. I have a set of Ph2 lights to pick up as...

    My £200 Mk2 Ph1 guinea pig!

    Bought this little 1.4 8v S (Sport? Not sure, reg comes up as a 16v!) for £200 with tax and test. I won't lie in the past i've adamently said I love french cars, just not Renault, they suck, and now I have one, i'm a bit like. Well. I dunno how to handle it. I don't hate it, but I stand, build...

    need tail lights help!

    On a serious note, while I don't like them either, sounds like you need to follow this guide? I dunno, sounds like the same issues as when you upgrade to PH2 lights on a PH1. Click here!

    Clio Mk2 Ph1 clicking sound, dead electric windows and rear wiper and central lockin

    Re: Clio Mk2 Ph1 clicking sound, dead electric windows and rear wiper and central lo Okay i've seen a company on eBay offering a repair for £150. Anyone used them? Tachosoft UK Also, would the UCH cause the fuel gauge to read really wacky? Like, it's pointing somewhere over the left, the...

    Clio Mk2 Ph1 clicking sound, dead electric windows and rear wiper and central lockin

    Quick searching says UCH unit but ive seen suggestions this was fitted to ph2 onwards so is this still my problem? If not any suggestions? I have a constant clicking sound when I open the door before I even put the key in. Windows, rear wiper and central locking are dead.
