As in Non offical renault part or maybe reconditioned?

Hi all, Is there several different parts after market. I.e. Does the offical part come more complete than say aftermarket part? Any help appreciated?

Yep there is a gold lip on one side - That should face the bearing in the disc then . Thank you for your help, much appreciated !

London - Which is a pitty otherwise I would of got you to do the whole lot! Do you know which way round the spacer should be - Much appreciated Next time I order a load of stuff from you or if your in London buy you a beer or le mans?

Also anyone know which way the spacer goes behind the disc i.e. gold rounded bit towards the disc?

I know there is a lot of posts but I have not found an answer & need to otherwise I will miss Le mans 2007!!! Basically got new discs (Renault all in one job!) on and new pads in holder but the holder (caliper) bolts (2*17mm) are not aligned, they are out by about 2mm. Do I need to put the...

I would like to get some pads that are decent enough from cold but also have a better temp range. I have noticed that Ferodo supply a DS Pad designed for the Road instead of the race DS2500 pad. Has anyone got any experience of these. I have found that they are around £75 for the front & £46...

I have a 2001 phase 1: When going above 5000/6000 RPM in first The engine makes a sound that sounds like it is being restricted in someway, but no loss of power. I have listen to some you tube videos and seems to happen in some other 172's. Any Ideas, I am in London & so far away from the...

The additives are very expensive (£6 for treating 20 litres) - so I suppose this proves how v-power is good value or not??

Cheers - I think it was just that I mastered the art of slow into the roundabouts then giving it the beans :). Enjoyed the day, thanks again for organising it.

Maybe we should ask shell for a final non marketing low down? Or just go for a few beers !

If this is true they would be breaking the law, as they are selling fuel that is not what is says on the tin!

7p premium on normal unleaded, vs 6p for Optimax. IMO - I would of thought they only changed labeling once they have had a new delivery. I think this because not all garages had changed labeling at launch and it/was a slow introduction to v-power accross all areas, hence would be down to...

Seems to work wonders on MPG and smoothness IMO! Any difference maybe down to the freshness of this v-power aswell ! For the little extra it is much better than any fuels IMO. I hope BP start competiting and bring out a higher RON fuel, as I find BP expensive and not that good compared to...

They should of used a 182 Trophy, that would of been interesting. Alough EVO are not as sure about it on the track as they are on the road. Still could live with either. I am sure with a bit of tweeking the 197 would be very entaintaing tho! and with 2-3% APR finance, renault are going to...

Really for 3K?? Would you need to do much work on it for it to run as new?

Have you tried the ring?

EVO confirmed this for 172's in their article earlier on in the year.

What about Fram oil filters? Ok for 3-6K in a 172 or should I quickly swap to a gen renault oil filter ??

Agreed this is the stuff for sure. Leaves a lasting shine and smells better than your birds shampoo. Do zymol do after shave ? !

What I really wont to know is if you have any places that are highly recommended :) Cheers

I am looking for anywhere in the South East, Birmingham or the South West. Cheers,

Just wont to get some done, wont a A1 Job. More worried about the outcome than the price ! Any ideas?

I am looking at getting a exact fit cup oil filter wrench, so that it is a perfect match for a clio 172 phase 1 oil filter. Anyone know or used such a tool or know of the required size? I think it is a 76mm

Had a MK1 172 done by Carlton in June and were very good, recommended. Regards, Stuart

I am in Orpington and just got quoted £680 for the timing belt which is double the price ! I would try somemore specialists,

I have a phase 1 172, and need to get the timing belt done and would like to find a good specialist to solve all the problems I might have. I like to know that the people I use will take good care of the car and do a brillant job. At the moment K-Tec racing seem to fit the bill - Has any one...
