What a legend mine is missing heatshields and I couldn't remember what the 1.2 ones were like as I knew they were different from the 1.6/ RS - Going on the hunt now haha This is one of my favourite cars on the forum, up there with Brembos 1.4 Si

I remember a test in one of the old car magazines I used to read where they tested a few of the top brands vs a paper filter, if I remember right the paper filter came out on top for power but dropped off much quicker as it got dirty, and Pipercross came out on top of the rest. I've never seen...

I bet that's it, the cars had a new radiator at some point and the cheapskate has just removed the condenser and chopped the pipes (I've got replacements of course 😂 ) so there's no gas in the system but I did notice the AC pressure sensor was reading something stupid like 20 bar! will...

Sailed through an MOT, done 500 hassle free miles since, 3 faulty TB's - Still mind blown by it !

probably adds half a second to the 0-60 time, should feel the weight of one 😂

When the CS detectives spot the tipex... ;) Obviously not from SWR!!

Unreal. I was convinced I was missing something as its very rare you get stuck on something as simple as a 1.2 16v!

4th throttle body installed, car is good as gold. the mind boggles, #Renault

get a tool thats like a hair comb that straightens those fins, but given its new then absolutely send it back for a replacement, but if it was already fitted to a car id just straighten them
