Hey all I am wanting to reinstate the original headunit on my PH1 172 so the Kenwood CD changer and stalk controls will work. Which head unit should I be searching eBay for? ​Many thanks

Any ideas where i can get a new standard one from at a reasonable price? I've not had much luck getting a good second hand one. ​Cheers

I doubt it would give more grunt as the entrance to the plenum isn't much bigger than 60mm. I think the cheapest i've seen on there is abou £60 delivered. ​I have the same issue as you with the body sticking :(

Anyone tried one of these on a PH1? ​ http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alloy-Aluminum-Universal-CNC-Billet-Intake-Throttle-Body-65mm-2-5-inch-Racing-/370790082921?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item5654cfa969 Cheap (ish) solution to sticky bodies with a bot of extra grunt?

looks like it may be the throttle cable. I will be changing it after work today.

Thanks for the reply I have taken off and stripped back the manifold and then sealed all the component parts with RTV before re assembly. The throttle cable and body mechanism seem to move freely, but I will check again when it starts misbehaving. Do you know where the thin pipe running from the...

Things it's not... CPS, MAP, ICV, Inlet temp sensor. all gasket areas sealed with RTV. TB is clean and closing properly. ​Next thing is TPS!

Could be a faulty injector. Had the same issue on a Saab. Basically fuel leeks out of the injector when the engines off, passes the piston rings and gets to the sump. This thins the oil and makes it smell of petrtol. ​

Idle sensor on the side of the throttle body? Is that not the throttle position sensor? I should have my parts coming tomorrow,so i'll update this thread on how i get on. I suspect the MAP. When i got in from work it was idling high as usual until i disconnected the MAP, then idled ok. Not a...

I'm no expert, but it sounds as though the mechanical timing is out in some way. I think i'm right in saying that the valve/piston tolerences are tight on these engines? So probably not a cambelt slip? My money's on a fualty dephaser (i know it's been replaced recently). You say "I have...

Thanks for the reply:) Will try with my ODB reader, although i don't think they play well with these ECU's I won't take it to Renault to get a fault read as the cost of the parts i'm changing is only a couple of quid more than they'd charge for the read! No warning lights on the dash and no...

Hi chaps. My first post, so be gentle. I have recently bought a PH1 172. I'm generally quite pleased with it apart from a couple of issues, the main one being the idling. When the engine is first started it idles as expected, round about 1200 rpm. When the engine is up to temp it idles around...
