they shouldnt give the wrong readout, although the rev range is different, when testing the dash according the dialogys, voltage X1 is applied to get Y 1rpm, voltage X2 is applied to get Y2 RPM etc, and its the same values across the model range, therefore the signal sent to a 1.2 dash saying...

id assume itd be the ECU due to legal issues with clocking etc as it would be all to easy to replace the dials on a 172 thats done 500k with one just a few months old etc ?? ill try changing mine over as soon as I get a chance and let you know what the outcome is... and as for them coming from...

as far as I know, its stored in the ECU, the reason im changing them is that I got one of the very first facelifts and theres a certain element of styling missing lol... e.g. it still has the orange repeaters, the interior trim is diff, etc the dials i got have the blue metallic surround round...

would like the answer to this one as well... ive got a set of 172 dials sitting in my room.. going to have a go at changing the colours before puttin them in though..

found the sodding rattle :D got to the point were i went out and jacked the car up to look under it and what did i see before my very eyes... http://ebee.me.uk/images/rattle.jpg so the rubber is now back in place.. and no rattling :D

ive found stuff that may be of help already.. OMP make it, they do the L Brackets to convert them from base mounting to side mounting, and also the side mounts or they just do a universal mounting kit... is this more along the lines of what im looking for ?

anyone ? ive spoke to simota about it, but they are only doing sub frames for jap cars just now :( also found out that the seats are gonna be nice and unique :P worldwide, there was only 800 of these seats made, only 50 of these were black and blue, the others red and black and plain...

no suggestions then...

http://ebee.me.uk/images/clio1.jpg Ive had mine now for god knows how long... maybe time for a change since so many people have them now...

so, ive got my seats sitting waiting to go into the car, but cant put them in until I get harnesses and the mounting points for the seats sorted out... The seats are made by Simota and are pretty much a rarity in the UK, especially the blue ones i have, but they have sub frames already bolted...

any suggestions other than hamster cages ?

has the car taken any kind of shunt, or even just the door, perhaps caught in the wind and thrown open ? door could be twisted just enough for the lock to be to tight to open...

this will be a common problem im sure but its driving me nuts... when pulling away in first or second gear ( unless I crawl away ) I can hear a rattling noise, definitely metal, sounds like its coming from behind the dashboard at the top end... my suspicions are that its the metal cover that...

mine done this a while back and it veried in volume with the temperature etc until it got to the fustrating point and I took it to the dealer, who found it was a problem with a rubber gaitor on the steering column, not sure what he did, if he wacked WD40 on it or whatever is for him to know, but...

I picked up new seats today ( for free for doing a website ) and theyre sitting in my garage ( got the cold, so house bound ) and wanna know hows had what probs changing the seats ? Its a new shape clio with airbags in the seats, so Ill need to do something about the airbag warning light (...

That message was posted before i spoke to you, wasnt getting at you, just agreeing with the rest of them...

you will find that if the light stays on solid, then the fault is more than likely from the upstream lambda sensor ( the one before the cat ) and if it flashes, it is the downstream one, past the cat, as the flashing indicates what is assumed to be destructive misfires... or in the case of a...

i know some of you may be aiming the comments partially at my car, not being of show sxtandard, but someone dropped out at the last minute leaving us a car short, and on the second day, due to unforseen circumstances, and not her fault, we couldnt move debz car with the rest of the stand, so 2...

I urgently require someone that has a Clio V6 ( either mk1 or mk2.. doesnt matter ) who is available on the 22nd and 23rd of this Month for the Fast Car Full On Show in scotland. I would like to have one on display, but due to circumstances, do not have one at the moment, the car needs to be...

can you change the diameter of disc without changine the calipers without probs ??

i know im gonna sound totally blonde here and i dont mean to be, just have missed something, but where are you lot gettin the dialogys from ?

right, the time has come to replace my brake discs due to excessive grooving from crap brake pads... im not going for renault replacements as theyre crap, im looking for either vented or grooved discs, not sure which to go for, will be down to price as I have a fair bit to do before the MOT...

can be anything if you try hard enough, you need to tune them by changing the port length / width... however, they are best suited to hip hop ish stuff and they are ot jus as resposive as a well built sealed box for punchy rolling bass...

ditch the 6x9s completely, amp your front components ( you dont even need rear fill... get a 12" sub in a sealed box, dont bother with a ported box if you listen to a variety of styles, as porting limits the subs performance to certain styles and you can easily stick it to one side of the...

registered 1/7/2001 and its sitting just below 29k the now :P

i was going to come thru to the forth road bridge but, as things turned out i ended up in stirling getting my suspension dnoe :( maybe next time, you could all come back up for Fast Car Full on ;)

thought the 172 didnt have TC / ESP, or is that the CUP ??

are you looking for the actual diagnostic lines specifically, or the would the OBD2 port do ?? im guessing itll be the same place on the 172, if you pull the ashtray out of te center console, and if need be, the plastic surrounding that, there should be a small black cap, remove this and you...
