No I don't think I was on those ones! i remember the days where there was meets almost weekly! There was also a Falkirk meet in front of the, now migrant hotel that's always on the news 😂

Picked it up from the garage, drove perfect the full way home, stalled it outside the house and went to re start it and it done this, turned it off, then started again to film the video, went to get the diagnostic machine, running normally no codes found. runs perfectly on 4 cylinders when...

Cant see the throttle body when its doing its 4500rpm revving as I cant replicate it, I've tried to dummy an emissions test on the drive but couldn't get it to do it. the MOT tester said he thought possibly an air leak, ill attack the engine bay with a can of brake cleaner when I've collected...

I've got a problem with my sisters (no!) Twingo 1.2 16v currently, pretty much identical mechanically to a mk2 1.2 16v Clio. she's owned it for years, gave very little issues, it went for an MOT last month, the test station abandoned the MOT as during emissions it started uncontrollably revving...

Apologies I've not worked on a 172 for years, I done a compression test on a 197 last week and had to remove the throttle body which is why it was fresh on my mind!

Open the throttle or remove the throttle body for your compression test. The induction noise was the first thing I noticed at idle on my RSI when I lost compression on 2 cylinders.

Im sure it does upto 99 folders (CD's) and it definately does upto 99 tracks per folder as im sure mine has a 16gb flash drive thats almost full!

Thats the boy, it was available on the mk3 clios, but works on the update list in a mk2. yeah as far as i know no expert menu on the model with the screen on the face, you want the unit without a screen that uses your big screen on top of the dash

M1144 on my 197 too, fantastic road pad and fairly good on track too. As above EBC are junk

Yeah that screen is fine they are all the same, just yours isnt displaying everything. Get yourself an update list CD player and ebay aux cable or Renault TunePoint (read from a usb stick etc) and you are good to go

Do you have the top screen on top of the dashboard with the clock? if so you will need an update list head unit with no screen, that will have the AUX option in the menu. If you have the screen above then the wiring is all the same so will work as normal. You then just plug the "ebay" aux...

I fitted febi inner ARB bushes in my RSI and they were worse than the originals by the 2nd MOT, couldn't believe it! When it's a Kent of a job to fit them, fit and forget, go power flex 😂

Really cool project, what did you do when fitting the cams with regards to the VVT system on the 133 cams? Dephaser etc?

Anti rotation links, I had similar on my 197, had no play at all in mine, swapped them, problem solved!

must be either oil leaking somewhere or an oil breather disconnected, I'm not familiar with the 1.2 tce in the mk4 but have a look at the oil breather pipework, see if any are disconnected

Was this where the video was filmed of the 172 chasing Fred in the 1.2 Dynamique?

i found a set of really good condition genuine ph1 172 springs in the garage, i had tried to sell these but had absolutely no interest, the 1.2 had a couple of broken springs so i thought id give them a shot to see how they looked. - Stuck a cheap set of ph2 172 16" wheels on it too 😂

Stirling Meet 29/08/2006

Same day, the "after party!" Safe to say camera phones have come on a long way 😂

Scottish RR day 09/02/2008 - Falkland Performance

Can we get a re run of the original stickers the same as the current header logo?!!! Used to proudly rock mine and ive just bought another black 1.2 16v for the nostalgia!

Has this made an appearance yet

Can't believe I've never seen this thread. It's funny I was never a fan of arctic blue when they were new but now I absolutely love it. Standard wheels and splitter, the way it left the factory, love it! Good work. The older I get the more I appreciate an escort too 😂😎

Not my car today but I done a wet belt for my Mrs (no) friend (also no!) new Corsa with the Peugeot PureShite 1.2 20 plate, 21k miles, check the state of this!

Does the fan come on with the AC? Other than on really hot days sitting stationary for a while my fan never comes on, but if I test it on diag or put the AC on, it fires up Is your temp guage going past the mid point?

Thanks, ill be able to play Forza now!

standard airbox, standard manifold on mine with the Akrapovic Evolution, sounds INCREDIBLE, Ive driven one with the Akra that also had the Ktec decat manifold and it sounded great, a tad too loud for me but quieter than the ones ive driven with Scorpions/ktec. The scorpion cars were always too...

Check the intake temperature reading make sure its in the same ball park as ambient temp when the car is cold. Make sure the plugs are correct, its a TCE specific plug but some factors provide the normal 1.2 plug. Check the readings from the pre cat lambda sensor

as above I had this with a 172 I bought that someone had fitted lowering springs and not fitted the bump stops, it ran at fairly sensible height and I couldn't for the life of me work out why I was getting rubbing as i had never felt one "hitting" the bump stops so assumed it shouldn't have been...

Bingo, you've probably missed one! (not taking the piss, ive been there!) I'm sure there's one down the back of the gearbox somewhere that i missed in between the ABS block and starter motor area. Does the fan come on when you test it with the Autel/turn the AC on? or is it just not kicking in...
