will be fine, the torque delivery is the key with them, i had one that was on the rollers at 118bhp/145lb/ft and it had issues with clutch slip but had done almost 100k.
my latest one at 145hp / 147lb/ft with smoother torque delivery was spot on
I had issues with the drivers electric window switch, it would put the window down 100% of the time but it was extremely hard to get back up! you had to repeatedly just keep releasing and re pulling the switch until it worked. It done this from brand new and was back in twice to the dealers who...
mine got a battery at just over 1000 miles under warranty and then another at 12 months old, probably around 8k, first one was due to it refusing to turn the headlights off, no matter what i did, ultimately killing the battery by the time it got recovered to the dealers and then the second one...
The genuine Renault plugs were denso I'm sure! Thymey definitely weren't NGK! I remember doing a first service on one and being surprised when I pulled out non NGK plugs
it wont need an AGM for a 1.2 Dynamique as it wont have stop start, just a basic run of the mill battery which I assume has been tested to confirm its not a faulty new battery?
is it actually missfiring?
id say its most likely to be oil leaking onto the clutch, but its always going to be guess work until the box is off.
reading between the lines it looks like you have just bought the car and its previously had this work done recently? - If the seller and garage who done the work are decent...
i say early ph1, only because i was led to believe you couldn't mix the key and ECU's but when i tried it, it worked! so assume its because its an early car? or possibly the info online was just wrong! i know on a ph2 you definitely cant mix them as the ECU, UCH and key must match.
I changed...
That sounds fairly normal for this time of year, remember if you have the heaters on the thermostat is probably staying closed so the coolant in the rad will be much cooler, get the revs up, stat will open and cool coolant starts entering the engine so the temp sensor will detect that fairly...
Depends on the year of your ph1 I believe. Mine is a 1999 1.2 8v (d7f) and I fitted a 1.6 16v k4m engine, jb3 gearbox and the k4m ECU and it fired straight up on the original 1.2 key.
Jb1 and jb3 boxes are very similar I think all jb1 are front starter where jb3 are rear starter
Ryobi brushless HP here for me, mine has taken masses of abuse and never left me stuck yet! 20yr old rusty suspension/subframe bolts etc with ease! You could probably get away with one of the lower powered ones just for wheels right enough but this is the one i use...
id start at the thermostat, you would expect the opposite with a stuck open thermostat where the coolant temp would go to normal under load and then drop off again under low load, but on a modern car with radiator airflow flaps etc that can open and close you never know!
where are you taking...

even after a few years I still feel like they are the biggest bargain of the century for cost vs performance.
