Got an update from Alex at AWM today:lengthy list of jobs to do:
- Service (Timing belt ok) & check over so car ready for trip to Paris & back in June we’re planning.
- Fit new in-car air-con evaporator (supplied).
- Figure out why air con comes & goes. (Hopefully make it just bloody work!)
- Fit new replacement lower knuckle supplied from roll-centre kit I never got round to fitting myself.
- When you thrash it, you get a funny smell in the cabin (suspect a weep of oil onto exhaust?)
- Please reset gear linkage, as it can be a bit of a bugger to get in 1st?
- Fit new horn (supplied) as the one on there isn’t working.
Just finished reading the whole thread, what an amazing journey and the car looks sensational! Reminded me of the fun I had working on my ph1 172 here in Australia.
Interested to know if you guys have used spareto for spare parts? They are based in Estonia and we have no trouble getting the parts delivered to Australia in under a week, shipping is even reasonable - RENAU CLIO II (BB0/1/2_, CB0/1/2_) 2.0 16V Sport | Spareto
Oh god I hope I’m not in for a dose of the same…?@Big Steve - Raider I feel your pain regarding the lights. I get the same three lights in my 172. Have taken it to a main dealer and tried several different types of diagnostics equipment and can’t pinpoint the problem.
I turn the car off & back on again and the lights go out. Then they may not come back on again for months.
