My setup: ? 12t force, but delivered instantly!

First things first, start by getting the handwheel and the rack centralised. Then fit the upper UJ in-plane with the EPAS motor output and the intermediate shaft as per the pics I sent. Then fit the lower UJ in-plane with the inter shaft and the rack input as per the pics - I appreciate this...

Success! The replacement UCH arrived today and after swapping it out everything is working as it should! For anyone who comes across this thread in the future: make sure you get the EXACT part number, as "UCH-N3" isn't close enough. You need the long PN starting P8200.. As a side note, I...

Good stuff! Which way to rotate it.. well that's not an answer I can really give you without being there looking at it! BUT.. if you follow the setup in my long post that should hopefully be enough to guide you. The three pics show what you're looking to get to.

Yeah have a quick check.. I'd be surprised if it didn't separate somehow. There might be some kind of feature that only allows it to go in one position, though.. such as a flat or a wider spline somewhere. If not, you can adjust it.

It's hard to see, but does your intermediate shaft come in two parts? It looks like your upper UJ has splines going into the intermediate shaft, so possibly could be rotated? I assume it does split, so you can get that big rubber whatsit over it.

Wow, firstly.. shut my mouth, because that's definitely a noticeable difference in caster! Yes the wibbly wobbly bits at the start and end of the steering column are the universal joints.. you have two UJs on your column. Each UJ has two "yokes", which are the U-shaped bits - on the upper UJ...

Just adding my thoughts to all this before you chop your wishbones up! I don't think it's possible for you to alter caster enough with some modified wishbones for it to have such an effect.. you would have to have the ball joint quite far out to alter the caster angle enough to have a drastic...

The UCH has been re-coded to my old one, so should be plug & play without changing anything else. I believe this is what happens when you buy a new UCH from Renault.

Update - I tried to start the car yesterday but no joy.. sometimes the engine wouldn't even crank, others it would crank for a random amount of time then stop. The immobiliser light is on solid, suggesting the fault persists with the new UCH. I cleaned the engine bay relays and this helped get...

Hi All, I just replaced the UCH on my 172 Cup with a re-programmed unit from eBay (i.e. sent my old unit off to be decoded). Everything seems to work, but the key fob will only lock the car, not unlock it. If I lock the car, I have to get in by unlocking the passenger door, which sets the alarm...

Exact wording is "..vehicles first issued with a vehicle passport from 01 Jan 2019.." so it doesn't look like they'll force this on cars that have already got a passport, but you're right in that any pre-certified cage will need to have them installed to obtain a new passport from 2019 onwards...

The problem with T45 is you're still bound to minimum material spec of 50mm x 2mm / 40 x 2mm so you don't save any weight at all - unless you have the money to get a cage homologated!

It definitely does look cool! That is an issue but there's always a clause that it's for new builds and not cages with an existing certification (such as Neil's). Unless MSA are changing tact now and making a whole load of previously certified cars ineligible? I'd be very surprised if that were...

All additions to the cage mentioned would be nice but it all adds weight.. we're talking +10kg easily for A-pillars and harness bars alone, and that's the kind of weight people go to a lot of trouble to try and remove! If the cage is certified then no reason to add anything more. :up:
