I have to say these cars are really worth so much more than this in the enjoyment they bring, so travelling for one shouldn't be an issue. Had mine for 7 years and miss it terribly.

Quite often small businesses like this expand quickly, they take on more people to handle the extra work, the standards drop, profit drops, name gets tarnished, company folds.

Tried digging out some info on this as I read about it years ago when I was considering turbo'ing my 182 (luckily never made that mistake!)
It could be used on a NA car but would be of little/no benefit iirc
I believe there are now aftermarket tools to replace all of the Renault ones now. I havent used them myself as I have a genuine set, but they look as good to be honest. . Adam at Renault Wolverhampton is a good contact for you as he can arrange postage on parts +441902 439264
Well the only help I can offer others is don't bother contacting Henk at fastchip for help. He fobs you off with stupid excuses like the VCI came out before vista and hence there isn't a driver for it (even though it was working on my old laptop running vista fine) and then when he's had enough...
Well spotted, she is indeed on Sachs dampers
The car is usually on a set of OEM Antracite Trophy Turinis, these are the trackday wheels and tyres.
The paint is pretty flawless to be honest. I machine polished the car shortly after I bought it with Sonus polishes and pads (They arent the most...
Thanks guys, owned her since Oct '07, I've now got a laguna seca E46 M3, hence this baby is for sale, the only thing she wants for is a minor tidy up on the steering wheel if I'm being picky. Anyone got contact details for Snappy?
Maybe so, but personally I think the manual wouldn't say it for no reason, and it's not worth the risk, probably less confusing to rotate it in one direction anyway
There's no need to hammer these off. All you will do is knacker the pulley. They have two threaded holes in them that allow you to put two bolts in and turn it to free it up from sticking to the crank with corrosion.
It needs to be freely moving in order to be able to accurately set the timing...
I would say lambda readings that high definitely point to an exhaust leak.
The leak will cause the exhaust gas to draw in fresh air from the leak.. and the probe will think that the mixture is massively lean as a result.
I knew someone like this..
Sold a £3k audi tt to apparently save money, to then get a brand new fiesta on finance, then part ex'd one car to the next until years down the line the car she stuck with was worth about £3k and was less spec'd than the TT! Mental!
there's alot more to it, the engine blocks are different so you cannot use the original JC5 gearbox, the 225 gearbox (ND0 I think) has cable operated gear selector and a hydraulic clutch, so different again, driveshafts are too long I've heard aswell, and the ND0 is a very tight fit in the...
Near enough everything he has said was wrong, it almost makes me question his credibility in saying it's the best hot hatch ever really...
Clio 182 released in 2001?
I'm guessing the guy in the Gallardo couldn't drive.. I overtook a 911 and a Ferrari 355 on the ring last week, not because my...
it's hard to spot, it's hidden behind some fabric in the engine bay, it's below the PAS reservoir.
If the wheels are locking it could possibly be malfunctioning/disconnected/disabled
