Just got my 172 running a sports cat through MOT, just. 0.200 CO allowed and scraped by at 0.199 red hot I have checked lambda using rs tuner and it seems to graph ok on idle, could it still be knackered and worth a change? Also checked coolant sensor and is reading true so shouldnt be running...

Just replaced the gearbox, flywheel, clutch and release bearing last week and have a noise on idle which disappears when clutch is depressed which leads me to think its the release bearing. Unless gripper diff's can be noisy on idle (unsure if they see any rotation in neutral? Maybe a daft...

Can the epas setup be used on any rack or is it best to use it on a non pas rack? Thoughts was to remove pas and loop my current rack (Ph1 172) and see how it goes. If I dont like the feel then add in the epas column etc to the rack. Would this work and anyone done it the same way?

Is there any small crimps that can be utilised in place of the standard plug? I suspect a dodgy connection within the plug as when adjusting it I could hear the engine go under load when alternator did start charging but couldnt get it to maintain a charge. I have a spare loom but would rather...

I am about to fit my seats and harness's into my phase 1 clio. I have done some research into this, and have a few questions. Going by guidelines, using the rear lower seat belt points creates too small an angle going by diagrams. I have seen talk of using the top mount on the top, where the...

Been searching all morning and read quite a few threads and have tried to locate the heater resistor Iv saw various pics, and where there is a plug on the right hand side there just seems to be a blank spot? Car in question is a 2001 clio 1.5 dci (no air con or climate control) The main plug...

Hi, my clio dci has recently been feeling really sluggish, and often when near 3k rpm the glow plug light comes on and car loses power and you have to back off. Car still starts fine, I thought if the glow plugs were faulty then first symptom would be poor starting? Going to try some red x in...
