How long the engine last....

[moono16v]

evening all.

Had a 182 trophy when they was for three years and got a 250 now. I'm after a 1*2 for my wife and then once she's gone back to work (maternity) I'll have it as a track toy.

Question is how long is the f4rt engine good for? Miles wise?

@bloke has one with over 200k

String is the measuring device for this.

History > Milage should see you right mate.

Many thanks. So history is key then.

Could anyone tell me why this doesn't have the half leather seats in it?

Because it's a 182cup I believe? Easy enough to buy and fit some, looking at about £150 for a good condition set.

 

[moono16v]

Thanks lads I would ideally want some trendlines or if they fit some 197 seats.

That car seems spot on mate, I'd snap that up if I were you! Good mods too, surprised at the price, would've expected it to be higher than that!??

 

[imprezaworks]

It's a cup most want the ff. Miles although not high isn't low enough to get rb tax too much.

But the condition etc looks spot on.

 

[lee M4RSH]

Where were these RBs when i was looking to buy mine. were all 3.5k when i was on the prowel.
I would go for that if i were you mate.

 

[imprezaworks]

And some still are. But there getting on a bit now.
Low mileage ones will still command good money.

What do you mean mate about the tax?

 

[DJR1210]

What do you mean mate about the tax?

He means that the more sought after colours ie racing Blue, liquid yellow etc command a higher asking price over the more common colours.

No mention of dephaser? Strong money if so...looks nice though.

How much for a dephaser fitted?

Is it a new belt along with dephaser or just dephaser alone??

Its advised to do the belts at the same time if I remember correctly, if so you wont see much change from £500.

 

[imprezaworks]

It's advised to do the dephaser at the belt change, some don't as the part is about £100. If the car hasn't got air con it's a cheaper job than if it did. But ask if the dephaser has been done, may have been missed out on the description

But yeah budget £500 for peace of mind.

 

[lee M4RSH]

If it was done at BTM as it says it was i would be supriaed if the dephaser wasnt done at the same time.
You never know though so just ask.

Wasn't air con standard fit on all 182's ???

 

[Daz...]

It will have aircon unless it's been removed, which hasn't been stated so assume it does.

 

[imprezaworks]

Don't think on some of the 182 cups. May be wrong though

 

[Daz...]

All the cups have aircon, just with manual controls. Same as the Trophy.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yep your right. Was getting mixed up with climate control on the much higher spec (mine, joking) models

 

[172_Tom]

Doesn't have the silver RenaultSport trim on the bottom of the steering wheel, is that normal?

 

[Daz...]

Yep

 

[Daz...]

The interior, at least what can be seen in that picture, looks completely standard.
