locksmith... to save any needless damage

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260795917327&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT#ht_758wt_1130 if its rubbish... may i draw your attention to this :)

right, little update, problem still stands after the garage 'thought' they had done it by changing the throttle actuator. its clearly not that, it comes on and stays on... but every once and a while it decides to go off and be fine, turn the car off and start again, it can come up.... any ideas...

cheers for the replies, its not spluttery at all, sounds sweet, just the revving goes up down etc, i initially think its lambda sensors but not sure which one, ^^^ as you say pre cat sensor... took it to the garage today anyway so will have to wait for the hefty bill!

right, heres the deal, i have a clio 172 (facelift) and basically the emissions light comes and goes, when the light is on, it revs by itself and if i put my foot on the throttle it wont pass 3000rpm. i think its a faulty lamba sensor(s) but would like a second opinion before i take it to a...

carbon fibre bonnet, have one on mine and i think its my best mod ;)

sorry, gearbox, it was late lol, i found out where its leaking, the end of the gearbox plastic housing is missing a bolt and come away from the gearbox itself, just need to know where the filler plug is and what tranmission fluid is needed for a ph2 172 (2002). cheers

Would a leaking transmission effect power? when i say leaking, i mean it was pouring out at one point after a long journey, plus, whats the most common problem when it comes to a leaking transmission?

^^lol^^ if they still made them we would STILL be in 2003 mate

Well being a student I leave my car at home and when i come back from uni i drive it, so i am a temporary driver, not building up no claims but dont see why i need too seeing as being a temporary driver on my 172 is £365 a year fully comp.

18, ph2 172, student also.

good choice, go subtle! lovely stuff.

that seems quite a bit, i mean the cambelt is a fair amount of the cost (if not most) but i had my 172 cambelt done the other day (harder than 1.2 due to lack of bay space) and it cost me £257 plus they changed my front pads! £510 seems a bit much to me. EDIT: (I supplied the cambelt kit from...

^^^ Thats no bad, direct line have killed me though, built up a years no claims and because I moved insurance they wouldnt transfer my no claims over. Hence why ive gone temporary cover.

I have just brought new car insurance on a ph2 172 as a temporary driver (as im at uni) its £365 fully comp.

Either way looks like your gonna have to take the headlight out mate, have a proper look.

Heres mine with a little bit of yellow (i know it needs a splitter!)

yellow looks great with iceberg 72s, but not like that. il upload my iceberg and show you what i mean....

I have 205/45/16 on my 172 and lowered 50mm. Had to cut some trim off but no need for spacers, wouldnt of thought spacers would be nessecary on yours either, looks fine mate.

I had one (passenger side) was really wobbly inside, i thought it was just the top ball joint in the middle of the headlight on the inside also, but it turned out to be the plastic clips broken, they are so flimsy and the ball joints are quite strong, new headlight job for me!

Somehow I managed to sell it!

cheers everyone, so helpful, il give it a shot!

Il try again but pretty sure i done all this, cleaned the connecters up under both seats, doing my head in as you can imagine, dont really want to book it into renault just yet.

Yep, airbag light, any ideas why this is on?

....turn the service light out on a ph2 172? Done my own service and was wondering if it can be done without diagnostic etc etc....

Ah as long as they do it and do it propaly i dont mind, they are quite a good garage have always been going there for the jobs i cannot do myself, they rekon it takes about 6 hours 30 minutes for a cambelt change on a 172 ph2, this sound about right? considering there are litrally no other 172s...

ahhh great lol il have to run it by them, see what they say, they will say they have them regardless no doubt just to make me feel comfortable.....brilliant lol

boscom garage in kent, if you know that

lambda was always the first thought, Il get a diagnostic on it tomorrow, thank you!

Ahhh i see, what other options could it be other than the cambelt thats making the car loose power, the engine management light is on, and the throttle body is constantly buzzing....really have no idea...
