Its a noise thats present on alot of these gearboxes but it's not just a straight forward case of replacing your gearbox. Yes you feel that's the only solution and that "driving it through the showroom" ?????? will fix everything but it won't. A replacement one will be the same, it's down to...

Hi, excellent thanks very much for replying.....off to Maplins to buy a resistor it is!!

Sorry to crash in on your thread guys but I'd be interested in finding out how to get the rev counter working?? Currently running a Ph1 172 setup in a Ph1 16v but I like the old style clocks!!

I`ll stick my two pence worth in here after reading all this, personnally i`d go for the F4r conversion. Trying to put overpriced vag, outdated red top`s or pretty much most other engines is for those with deep deep pockets. They are reliable, those who tell you not never tell you the full...

When it was first built it was blue and they used it as a safety car at Oulton park when it was still Dimma`s demo. They walked into Quicks and Henlys in chester, bought a Cossie and a Clio valve but didnt have them registered and then chopped them to bits. After that i never saw it again.

Well i know where i work certainly wouldnt worry about how loud your exhaust is buddy, and were pretty close to you in Chester.

Its been in the MOT manual for quite a while to be fair but for some reason its been brought to the tester attention a little more recently. Load of poop in my opinion, i know myself or the other 2 testers i work with have never even considered failing a car for that. If its fitted and...

Read a few posts and seen several cars that have done the widetrack/ williams front suspension onto normal mk1 16v`s. Just wondering on the advantages of this if your doing a track focused car as surely having the larger negative camber on the standard mk1 is better?

The pin 18 to pin 9 is for the old square diag socket for the F7p/r engine. PM me your address and ill send you a diag socket with some loom attached and the wiring connections that you`ll need to do. Stu

Re the obd socket, if you`ve used a Ph1 172 ecu it was a direct line to the injection computer from the obd socket. Get one off any Clio with the later type socket and if my wiring diag is right............. obd socket pin 15 to inj comp pin 26 " " " " " 7 to inj comp pin 56 " "...

Hi, i`m looking for a PH1 172 downpipe/cat/de-cat. The condition of the cat itself is not important as it will be chopped out, its more for the shape of it than the cat section so de-cat or anything suitable will be considered. PM me with what you have and how much. Stu Oh and happy...

you cant what and why, would you like to expand on that please???

Hi guys, just after some opinions/experiance if anyone can help? got a mk1 16v that id planned a 172 conversion on and was gathering all my bits together, ive also got a complete williams cylinder head which came from my old engine that threw a rod and piston. dilema now is do i go on with...

oh Matteh you asked about the ecu numbers, whys that? is there some that cant be uncoded? mmm i would have liked to keep the pas, that might set me back a little!!! the 172 rack could be a good option if it will fit Matteh. need to get an adjustable fuel reg too, forgot about that one!!

yeah got rads and fans off both cars, undecided which to use yet and was reading the progress on getting the 172 one to operate. wanted to keep the pas really if i could, theres a issue with clearance aint there? no abs, takes the fun out of track driving, got the battery surround. yeah...

hi guys and gals, not been on for a long time due to personal reasons but i feel its now time to start my new project. yes yes its another 172 into a mk1 valver but as my old lump is getting tired i think its gotta be worth it. after reading the 2 cracking threads by geesus69 and Matteh...

just wondering if anyone has ever fitted a williams 4 branch manifold of williams head (cams and valves are bigger)to the Mk1 clio 16v????? if so what were the results like? stu

i see it happen in the dealer i work for and i will quite happily say my peace to them about it to try to get them to understand but i cant change everyones outlook on respect for someone elses property.

there are some good people in the network that actually care. i dont want to blow my own trumpet but i get several customers asking for me to specifically work on there car of which im proud of.

sounds like a reasonable customer service rather than admitting an actual fault to me but at least you'll get it sorted.

you can smell all you like and your right yeah i do. i wish i could control what other dealers do but i cant, i try to help on here the best i can without jepordising my job but it just seems all to easy to come on here and **** off dealers,manufacturer and the "idiots" that work on them. i...

sorry couldnt get on here yesterday but as promised i remembered to find the solution for the strut top mod. what the dealer needs to be looking at is TI 1505. its a technical info bulletin about how to cure the problem. it does state they must apply rust proofing to it aswell. hope this...

so why do you own one if they're so bad. what an attitude!!!

the cruise control is the more acurate reading, tolerances in speedo's are allowed which is why you get the 10% off mr policeman. its impossible for a 100% acurate speedo due to the differences you can have in tyre treads from 8mm to 1.6mm, the cruise control uses the engine ecu info so is...

nah they wouldnt think of that, its too easy to just put a post on here stating everything is Renaults fault!!!!!

how is that Renaults fault if your car has had a previous owner???????? im sure if the gearbox fell out and you spoke to a previous owner they'd tell you it was all ok when they had it.

when the car comes from factory every bit of it is painted,they dont leave bits unpainted just cos a number plate fits over it. seems like its been re sprayed at some point. not Renaults fault then is it really????????

no worries, i know the 2 RTE's at Renault wolverhampton, theyre spot on. dont know any of the other lads but unfortunately with this trade there are good and bad in every dealer. stu

im sure several members will come on and b**ch about dealers being crap and trying to get out of everything warranty. truth is your car is still covered, the item will only not be covered if its failure is a direct result of the modification or abuse.

well we're only round the corner from you mate in Saltney. you got your problems sorted or not? the fix is free if your vehicle is under warranty, why is it such a problem to pay for a service when its not covered???? you call out a plumber you'll be charged before he puts the phone down. you...
