    Ph1 MTU - Relay Diagram (Passenger window issue)

    Basically, my passenger window isn't working (ph1 172). I've just tested another regulator, but no joy. When I press the button on both doors, there is no click from the relay. Anyone know which relay it could be? ​A diagram would be a big help.

    Ebay Special 172 Driveshafts.

    Hey, I think I need a new N/S driveshaft for the ph1. I'm sick of being messed about with driveshafts that are sold as 'mint' but are in fact wrecked. Just sifting Ebay at the moment and came across this...

    ET13 on Ph1 172

    Just wondering if anyone has experience of a similar offset on a 172. I'm guessing it'd be a bad fitment but I'm wondering whether anyone has any experience and/or pics available. Not sure whether they would be out of the questions all together, or would just require extra camber to fit without...

    (1*2) Fitting an O/S front ABS Sensor without damaging it?

    Had a quick search and couldn't see anything that directly answere my question. I've got to fit an O/S fron ABS sensor for my ph1 before the MOT, and forked out for a genuine Renault part. As it is such a tight fit I really don't want to damage it, and have to fork out again. Does anyone have...

    Odd one.. In the process of replacing the locks and ignition to get rid of a crappy aftermarket alarm that was fitted to the car, plus the original ignition barrel and the locks on the doors/boot don't match.. Anyway.. got round to churning the ignition barrel and noticed something that...

    PAS route question (Ph1 172)

    Engine has been ripped out of the sunflower in the past few months, and finally putting everything together. Annoyingly as it's taken a while we've forgotten what route the PAS line takes over the gearbox. There looks like there should be somewhere that the line should bolt to the gearbox, or...

    I have a genius appointment this evening

    I bought my Macbook Pro 13" August 2011. The first problem I had was the touchpad cracking. There is a very thin layer of glass on he touchpad which smashed when I dropped a small speaker on it. It has worked perfectly ever since, but is just a little unsightly. I know this was my own fault...

    It's insurance renwal time in a couple of days, and I've spent the past few weeks collating quotes. I seem to get fisted for insurance every year, so I was hoping it'd come down by a long way this year. Hopefully this will serve as a bit of a guide for people in a similar situation. One two...

    Increasing Wheel Centre Bore 57.1mm to 60.1mm

    Bit of a strange one perhaps. I've been offered a set of wheels that are 4x100 with a centre bore of 57.1mm. I beleive the 172 fitment is 60.1mm, so I was wondering whether machining out the wheel centre is common practice, and if your average machine shop would be able to do it? I will be...

    Changing UCH - matching ECU needed (Ph1 172)

    Need to swap the locks, ignition barrel and UCH on my ph1, and I'm not sure if I need the matching ECU (from the donor car) as well. Should be any easy one for someone on here, but I'm terrible with electrics. Cheers guys.

    Black PH1 172 - Manchester 8:45am

    Behind me near Sainsbury's this morning, and in traffic on Regent road. Probably could feel their car vibrating thanks to a sticky TB and/or ICV causing my revs to stick at 2k. I was in the sunflower yellow ph1

    Cutting out when starting from cold (ph1 172)

    Ph1 172 for reference. The past few days my revs have been sticking at 2k, which I've diagnosed as a sticky throttle body. So I'll be cleaning that up later this week. However another problem popped up recently, and I was wondering whether I might be able to sort it whilst cleaning to throttle...

    Why you should check your rear bearings.

    Hopefully this will prevent a disaster for someone... As most will know, the rear bearings on the 1*2 is insude the rear disk, this means they are essentially changed every time you fit new disks (those that are supplied with bearings). I changed the rear bearings a few months ago, which is a...

    Car won't start, starter motor?

    Well, just had to walk home form my mates. Just tried to start the car, all lights came on, pump primed, but nothing. Car won't crank, so I'm thinking it's the starter. Anything else it could be? Ran fine previously, never had a starting issue previously.

    Changing Locks / ignition / imobiliser Ph1 172

    Not sure if anyone has had this problem in the past, but it's certainly one for an security/electronics gurus out there... When I bought my ph1, the car came with a Clifford alarm and imobiliser. The thing that worries me that is the key obviously works in the ignition barrel, but doesn’t work...

    172 Sump Guard

    Done a little searching and I can see this has been raised a couple of times in the past few years, but none seemed to answer my question. From what I can grasp there is the option for a RenaultSport sump guard, but it's pricey. Also that OMP do one, but the link I found was dead. I was...

    Why not to buy a powerflow exhaust

    I didn't buy this, it came on the car. Want rid of it when I can afford something better. However it started blowing late last night, thought it just needed tightening up as it sounded like it was coming from the flange. 5 mins from home and *bang-scratch-grind* With it being dark I thought...

    Are these the correct FK Coilovers?

    Took delivery of my second set of FK coilovers from Venom Motorsport, after they sent a set for a MK1 somehow. It's not that I don't trust FK to send the right kit, it's that I don't trust Venom to order the right kit... So far things check out, just want to be sure if anyone else has the same...

    Engine Light

    Was just cruising down the motorway at 60 (traffic) on the way home from work, and the engine light just randomly came on. No other symptoms, revs freely, pulls ok, no knocking or missfiring. Wasn't too worried as I thought it was just an emmissions light. However after doing a bit of searching...

    O/S Front Suspension Knock when setting off and stopping

    as above really. When setting off and stopping I get a single knock. It feels like perhaps a bush that has gone. it is coming from the O/S (drivers) side, and looks like the wheel is visibly moving backwards in the arch when stopping at low speed. I also find that the pulls a little to the...
