I found a polish company that do make replacement rocker cover gaskets, so bought some (over £100 for the 4, yikes!). Also ordered some door lock solenoids, i'm going to do those as they stopped working, and do an oil service and reseat the sump with a new seal are it looks like its weeping a...

Straightened out the boot spoiler - there was a dip inthe middle bar Then I had to strip the door locks as in the cold the doors (BOTH fronts!) stopped latching. Was on a test drive with a potential buyer and stopped for fuel. Doors wouldnt close. Perfect timing, of course. Also fixed the...

After the engine swap, I did some miles in it and mentioned in passing on facebook it would be up for sale. That resulted in a chap coming to see it and we agreed a deal for it, with me taking his current 21 Turbo in px (also a J plate but black). Its pretty sickly, thread will be forthcoming at...

After many miles of problem free motoring....this happened. Fortunately as I was reversing on to my drive. Brief investigation suggested a power steering fluid leak which was later confirmed. Looks like the steel fluid pipe underneath has corroded and developed a pinhole leak. Its one...

Here are my suggestions. A Classic, Chime by Orbital. The first track on the album I always play on a road trip across Europe, Seven Cities (Solar Stone’s Atlantis Mix). Full version, best played around sunset. And Prodigy, Jericho. Nobody ever needs a reason to play a Prodigy track...

Great all round cars, wouldnt part with mine!

Ive just bought one of these too....from Copart :ROFLMAO:

Not tried sessions like this before, so keeping an open mind until I try it. Booked for session C. Thank you CS crew for putting the effort in to organise this. My Mrs officially requests we go back to Anglesey next year, she likes the weekend away up there! LOL

I bought a genuine Renault one, I didnt want to have to hack stuff around with the copies, plus I saw there was mixed feedback on fit & quality. Not cheap but bolt-on once painted and then my original LY spoiler went in the garage in bubble wrap. Spoiler defo rounds the car off, much like the...

Best all-round performance car out there for the money, adore mine.

Mine doesnt either (220 Trophy), I just bolted the kit on with the bimetallic discs too. Nice and easy.

Are we all ready for another storytime of woe and misery? Good, because I have one for you! So - I got everything done and was ready to put it up for sale. Cleaned it up, took the pics. Looking sharp. On the road, tax, insurance and MOT. All good right? Wrong. I noticed when it was up...

Remember the halcyon days when Renault built proper hot hatches...

It wont fix it, its not the cause of the issue. Apparently the kangarooing is caused by the ECU retarding the timing to try and heat the catalyst, but in a typically french style whichever bright spark programmed it did it in a retarded way that causes this kangarooing symptom. Take it to EFI...

Given what happened to me there in September I hope not!
