Thanks

Should prob stop driving the car..

Really why is this, does it not seal the airbox without the one screw thats missing?

Hes joking it will be fine

May lead to cambelt failure..

 

[guysy]

The air leak might cause the welds to blow on the intake, I suppose that might happen

 

[Alan]

That old chestnut..

Or dephaser failure..

Correct, happened to my 172 last year.. After a full rebuild it still ran like a 3 legged dog.. Tho on the look out for a tidy 172 cup for a weekend toy..

On a serious note....

Renault will do them* but it probably easier to just find a similar size screw form somewhere.
Or just not bother. It will be okay without it as long as they're not all missing.

Renault don't do them. I need a couple too, and they only sell them with the whole air box. Stupid!

Be down on power..

Can you not just use a bolt instead? That’s what I did when I lost a few screws on my air box
