as above, welcome, the bonnet is phase 1 specific but not sport/V specific so any old phase 1 bonnet will fit like the idea of an odyssey almost phase 1 Vee but would avoid the gold highlights.....to wannabee Williams almost and you'll get that the entire time. Go dark blue and keep the current...

mine has exactly that same rust and that's caused by a rear end shunt pushing up the bumper mounts. the bumper then rubs when driving on the arch and wears the paint away. before you know it hey presto a rusty arch in that spot. stone chips on the leading edge of the arch lead to rust there...

Cracking work and without saying hate to say told you so but us seasoned Renault pro's, particularly with the f4r lumps in the mk2 sports, always say buy genuine everything for a reason. Particularly on anything at all to do with the engines! Easy to see why so many cars have left the roads too...

Sure is, as mine actually really really genuinely does get used properly, unlike part timer OP :p 😘

just caught up, been a few trials and tribulations haven't there! glad she's still going though :) what a crock of s**t though this is, yours is on baby mileage and does naff all a year anyway.......sort it out ;-) cough.....217k........cough.....used waaaaay more.....cough cough.....does...

I personally would only every buy genuine for as long as possible for engine rotational assembly components. once you are 6/7/800 quid in why risk another 100 for a cheaper alternative? apart from that, loving your work and dedication, I recently had the lot done on my little blue heap, full...

don't get me wrong, boosting a little Clio is a proper giggle and an absolute riot on the road, but hammering round track in one inevitably ends in something breaking or even just temps stopping a long session. I intend to boost one of mine again eventually, but it won't be a primarily track...

That mk1 looked lovely, such a shame

Tend to run into issues more readily too with heat management etc, particularly on track. I used to run a boosted track car, i don't anymore as issues kept ruining my days. I added more handling orientated mods and lightness instead and since that never had engine issues again

Fuel lines on right way?

Welcome. Belts are a bit of a pig of a job and you ideally need to understand floating pullies and how tension affects timing on a none symmetrical belt

@Dr Jekyll much much better :cool:

As above really, pretty in depth customer service task breaking a car and selling bits. If you just want it gone 99p no reserve and make sure you reiterate several times it needs to be towed away

great thread, love the approach to, clean and sort stuff but leave functional so first time it rains you won't decide to not use the car.

Lovely....but get them wheels cleaned ;)

for the earth straps, clean up the bolts and the bolt holes too not just the straps and mating faces. I fell foul of that, fixed starting issues for a couple of says then came back and it was due to the bolts themselves doing a lot of the contact for a good earth

yeah looks like the little shield for the alternator

lol, there is no such thing as a perfect car or a finished project ;-)

Great track, need to get back and glad you're ironing out or working around the issues! Top day out with the father too, keep trying convince my pa have a go

Mark's aint bad, prefer mine though, he's just better at taking pictures ;) I am also completely bias :cool:

Should be a nice thing to recommission. Same recommendation here too, both my cars got to @MicKPM at diamond, he's just finished recommissioning the aircon on my phase 1

Low miler too, the car, presumably not the woman

Air con fixed and blowing ice cold with new condensor etc, airbag lights all clipped out for the recaros and new hella headlights fitted. She's getting there! Cheers to @MicKPM as ever, top fury spannering!

yeah 100%, none genuine injectors are a huge no no! lol!

they are very lumpy on idle from factory but as you have had the car from new presume this is different from the 'normal' lumpiness for you to flag it mine was a two pronged issue really, an injector went down simultaneously so cured big misfire by swapping injector then HT lead swap fixed it fully

as above, available new still from Renault parts direct, you want item number 2 on the diagram, NSF

if it makes you feel any more confident, my daily 182 is on 217k miles, used every day, does a couple of trackdays a year and is on original engine and gearbox. i just maintain it by the book and apart from a niggle now and again (most recently brand new spark plug leads breaking down and...

Mileage isn't an issue, there's cars on one 300k about with no problems and as they're cheap too repair bar major rust issues it's always viable imo

welcome back, sorry you weren't fully cured of Cio-itis

already got 2x of those though chap and in all honesty the mk2 in more road oriented trim just drive better so know for fact if i sold the oddy i would regret it
