It was a company in dyce Scotland (highland electroplaters) they just do industrial stuff but I popped in with them all in a carrier bag thinking it would be a no, boy said 20 quid be ready in a few days, there will be a company local to you surely, some came back plated but excessive pitting so...

You can get all the bolts cleaned and plated if they are not to badly pitted, I was £20 for all mine to get done from a local industrial coatings firm. The front subframes are galvanised from factory so that would come up good with a good power wash/strong cleaner. Powder coating anything on...

Likely a faulty switch, or you'll need to trace back where the power is coming from

Very sad news mate, horrible illness 😔

Injector seals maybe, my 172cup runs perfect with no known faults for years, it also has always had a lumpy idle, I've just accepted that's how it is. I have a 275 megane, that is also the same at idle 🤷‍♂️🫣

Wow some good power! I'd run it at a bar, be more than enough power for the track, thing must fly 😂

Buy the best looked after 220 you can find, the gearboxes are fine

Clutch is likely the wrong way round

second hand diy mechanic hub...oops 😂

Reset the linkage would be your first thing to check

Prices for various parts are hugely marked up to general public, grooved discs for the rear of my megane, £104 each posted from Germany. In the uk they range from £3-500, lesser price is because they were on sale, uk price is basically double depending where you go 🫣

I was £700 last year for belt kit, dephaser, pump, stat etc at a specialist, invoice showed cost of timing kit from renault was just over £100, parts were roughly £300, he said they got them cheap from renault as they buy bulk batches, mine was completed in 6hrs at rentec

There's not many for sale, but im sure you'll find one over the coming months. You looking for a standard car, modified or just see what comes up

Just grip the piston in the centre of the spring, Stilson or vice grips, put a bit of leather if you have any against the jaw to save marking the piston

They look fine, most likely been painted in the past I'd guess, unless its never outside
