I bought one of those tools, it was great for getting the old ones off but as I got pattern parts the head was larger so couldn't get enough torque on them to do them up so got a 32mm crows foot to sort them, but as said you may end up with a 36mm, its probably best just to get the genuine tie...

humm was thinking this, he's really knowledgeable about the boxes themselves, and the workshop was good but that statement really did put a doubt in my mind as I was leaving :headno:

just been to the gearbox re-con guy, he's been rebuilding boxes for along time and says to use cheap tesco semi-synth 5W 40 to stop the synchro's busting as they need the friction whats that all about!!!

lol looks like it was you that Paul was comparing my car to Lal

I can see where your coming from Tom but I'd have to disagree, each engine is different some are built on a Monday others a Friday ;), there was a near standard 182 at RS Tuning with the only mod been a decat that made 9 bhp less than my 438 clio with decat and 182 manifold and other associated...

Well after a bit more searching I found another part number and a cheap place to buy it from - http://www.carparts4less.co.uk/cp4l/c/Renault_Clio_2.0_2003/p/car-parts/car-transmission/clutch-and-associated-parts/clutch-kit/?641746070&1&03c0b449de9d561f5aee6b8f589b4148cf202031&000069

just to answer my own question with the part numbers - HAVAM - AD3885 HAVAM - AP4007 KM Germany - 0690842 RENAULT - 7701475929 RENAULT - 7701476557 SACHS - 3000951204 TRW - TCK2410 the one in bold it the actual quoted number from Renault when I phoned them ref -...

they're some crap wolf racing ones that I picked up brand new for £160 hence why I bought them, can't stand cleaning them takes ages

I'm assuming you can see the latest update with the graph showing 188bhp?

Once a blue moon or probably about 100k (at a guess), petrol is a relatively clean fuel. I only changed mine when having missfires to rule it out.

I know sorry, I can't edit the links in my first post and Flickr seems to have lost the ones I originally posted, thought it would look stupid repeating the whole thing so just linked the pictured here - http://www.flickr.com/photos/dtm2012...7633508548340/

Paul at RS Tuning managed to fit me in a last minute session for some mapping today, engine specs as follows - Catcam 438's ARP Conrod Bolts Matched Inlets Induction Kit 182 exhaust Manifold ​Ktec stealth exhaust with center silencer Decat some high temp paint :p the Graph - The car...

got around to changing the upper inlet manifold for my ported one, so from - To - looks a bit tidier, just the engine mount to give a little spray.

Okay so looks like the images have disappeared from my Flickr account :mad:, I can't edit my first post now to change the links so here they all are in my account - http://www.flickr.com/photos/dtm2012/sets/72157633508548340/
