all too clean, disappointed!

the acid test - get on the motorway (with the car warmed up) at 65mph and rest trip computer as you're driving, stick at 65mph for 10min and tell me what it reads, it should be around 44mpg, less than 40mpg and its broke (thermostat, CTS, timing, lambda etc)

I'm typing this whilst lying on the floor, got a bit dizzy for a second

That's how you do the timing on 1.4/1.6/1.5dci the F4R is completely different! There is a line on the flywheel that lines up with the "0" mark on the gearbox

2-3hours no more than that

172 cup uses the same as 182 cup, had this arguement for years, the old renault parts system shows it

Yep dealer only and they cost about £130, ask Adam he'll get one quicker

chassis number has to be CB22 - Cup packed/cup/trophy variant with 60mm hubs

The groove is from debris coming out the oil hole on the cam, sand it smooth and run it (check the cams are smooth round the oil holes!) Nowt to worry about! Others will call me the anti Christ for suggesting it, but that will make zero difference!

I'm use to it ;) I like Jamie, nice guy and knows his stuff, just another victim of trying to do everything and letting the quality drop! Only thing I could compare it to is if I became a ford specialist tomorrow off the back of my Renault stuff, even I know that's a daft idea! But at the...

Wet and dry it, I've seen worse!

Its impossible (and dangerous) to be answering the phone when working on cars, i'm the same as Dan - horrible to get hold of, normally people call me at 10pm when i'm half pissed!!

This the same car that had schricks fitted and was claiming cira 220bhp? I said bullshit and got slagged off LOL??

Redline lightweight shockproof gets my vote!

Re: The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy [& Fred's V6] 32degC in the dyno cell today, t'was a bit warm!

you might want to refit the old rad cap to the new bottle, the new lids they come with are the wrong pressure (good old renault!!)

Be careful, my mate owns TWS, some of the fancy finishes are a wet spray over powdercoat, not very durable! If the finish is 100% powdercoat no problem, ask the question! Just avoid wet spray over powdercoat!

driving the car around the ring generally doesn't do cars much good LOL!!!

Why bother for just one corner? most cars bottom out round that corner!
