Went to KwikFit today, and was told a new cat converter would be £609.
When I mentioned welding it, they said it couldn't be done, because it is some sort of alloy, and a welder would just blow holes in it.
Are they telling porkies?
The weld into the cat is splitting. Would have...
The pull is OK, but it isn't releasing the bonnet.
I am guessing I will need to go in from the front.
Is it best to cut the grille on the left or right side, to get the bonnet open?
Any hints?
Herds in Basingstoke said I needed a new sump gasket.
(Hope that is not just the sump drain washer....)
Anyway. I am now finding gear change is not quite so definite. Sometimes I wont be able to find the gear, and sometimes I will think it is in, and it turns out to still be in neutral...
Anyone know of any alternatives to the crap 172 headlamp washers?

I like my 172 L&A car seats, and want to protect them from oil, chilkdren with sticky sweets, and general wear and tear.
If I stick ordinary car seat covers on them, then the side airbags wont work.
I read in the user manual (yes I RTFM) which said to ask my local renault dealer. They said...
I see some peoples signatures mention NOS.
What kits have you got, and how are they activated?
Is there a problem with the 172 as it has an electronic accellerator?
Cheers.
Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the accelerator on a Clio 172 Mk2? I want to see if I can get around needing an external WOT (Wide Open Throttle/NOS type) switch.
The 6 wire that are there are difficult to diagnose (for me anyway), and there doesnt seem to be a Haynes manual for a...
