Rushed out at lunch to use DashCmd and my odb2 dongle. O2 sensor one value fluctuating between just over 0v then .65v Car idle is rough and smells of fuel ![IMG_6329.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/4/3/434a980c0412c92d2f26fe8a0e6014855ca50789.webp) ---

Almost live injector resistance results are in. ( from gearbox to offside ) Inj1 15.9 Inj2 16.4 Inj3 16.4 Inj4 15.8 All there , or thereabouts. They look cosmetically in ok condition. Must be o2 or TDC then at a guess. ![IMG_6334.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/8/6/86a82a53cffe35f7b34d658bd4bf96151280351e.webp) ![IMG_6335.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/b/8/b82c120d392a7f24bb20cbc71f74117f2611d5b6.webp) ![IMG_6336.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/b/3/b372764b640b383b9f1e5cba55058a454b06a200.webp) ![IMG_6337.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/1/6/168d7932474aad7bc85af69819788550d13774f2.webp) ---

I have had a busy day! I found some spare part treasure including : 1. TDC sensor 2. HT leads 3. Coilpack Guess that should save me having to invest in these as apparently these were changed over 10mo ago ![IMG_6344.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/8/4/84cca5b752396766884857148c23c8f2be447fcf.webp) I am not sure what the part that resembles a kazoo is ( top , right ) though? ---

I also washed the car to get rid of the salt from the run back from the bodyshop and all the bodyshop dust etc. ![IMG_6339.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/7/4/74fb51ecfe4f827c70f3a08f285eba198256ce0b.webp) ![IMG_6340.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/4/1/4135bc2b2db52417c34c6670184c0ede16f5a0bb.webp) ![IMG_6341.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/3/3/33c2afbbb432967083373f2bbbc723ce8144b848.webp) ![IMG_6342.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/1/0/10c37ec0f09e9cbfe8bbc0a4b6534376eeb59658.webp) ![IMG_6343.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/d/8/d831fb84fcdf61175422d5c184b0db4f1cb1b316.webp) Its a very photgenic car but dont be under any illusion. There are marks on a lot of the panels. Its not perfect by a long way ---

I noticed when I purchased the car my knob was worn. Thanks to a very helpful man over at [Diamond-Performance](https://diamond-performance.co.uk/) I recieved a new knob sticker. I then put it into the very new, very high tech paint booth and lacquered it. Its currently in there drying now Before ![img_6331-jpg.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/6/9/693039ea42721b50f7af472b9e00c5a525a32c3a.webp) Decal applied ![img_6332-jpg.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/b/4/b4d47bbfce63633ce35ceb9342331476fdbdf548.webp) Top removed to apply lacquer in new paint booth ![img_6350-jpg.webp](https://turborenault.co.uk/uploads/default/original/3X/6/e/6eb74c52d703c71baa5a96e35e7824429709a1c8.webp) ---

Finally the nearside light was frustrating me. It was cloudy as heck. I purchased a cheap “wipe” kit on Amazon and had a go. Nothing to lose really! Its only gone and worked!

Does anyone know the OE colour for the callipers on a 172 cup? The brochure I have doesn’t stipulate the colour I have seen several grey and several yellow callipers. Mine are a bit scabby so hovering over a rattle can of yellow VHT or grey VHT. ---

Cant make them out tbh, I thought they were stock silver, but unpainted. These look like they have gone dark.
