44.. WOW! I think I've never seen this kind of mpg's at 65!Am I wrong in changing the thermostat and the CTS before the pre-cat lambda? The engine seems to go up to temp when warm outside but in these cold days when cruising at above 60 it hardly reaches its normal temp (according to the dash...

pics from the engine bay?

I had this on my old R19, VERY annoying, happened to me about three times. it seemed like this circlip was the wrong one fitted and it also damaged the groove it sat on. To reach it you have to drain the oil and remove the driveshaft. Permanent fix? new diff (or Gbox? I'm not sure) if the...

I think starter motor. I had the same problem some time ago. started from cold, then drove a little, stopped for a few mins and wouldn't start again! towed the car home and the next day it started as normal.. never had this problem since. (about a year ago) I also had battery problems. When the...

yes the difference is huge. I tried to go up a hill having summer tires on, and at some point when it got steeper I was hopeless. the next day I fitted winter tyres and came back to the same location. I even stopped where the slope was bad and pulled of with no hint of wheel spin. surface was...

Re: Steering pulling to the right after gearbox replacement but tracking is spot on?? better find some cup dirveshafts if nothing else works. let us know the outcome anyway ;)

if it's from powerflex then it's the hard one. for the phase 2 you have the powerflex twisted dogbone bushes -purple colour (you have a phase 2 it seems)

Re: Steering pulling to the right after gearbox replacement but tracking is spot on?? maybe one of the driveshafts is getting some resistance while rotating. If this only happened after gearbox change I'd suspect the g-box although it's odd p.s: new gear box or rebuilt? how much did it set you...

I cooked my OE pads once after just 4-5 miles of nailing it. it was summer though, on other occasion they held up well after 10 miles of hard uphill going, however there were about 10 degrees outside. Saying that I went for the ds2500. Only wanted something that could withstand any situation...

would be nice if renault could answer puzzles like this one

you have the part number in the pics I have uploaded. go to citroen as said

these spray better ;) why not buying them? why buy eibach springs, the OE ones are good enough... you get my point waste of time.. took me 2 mins

yeah I've seen their work, it's awesome but they're about 2500 miles away :D

My std ones were spraying well, not too high or too low, but that's not the point. these new ones will spread the liquid in a larger area, being more efficient overall. check the videos. plus you'll never have to adjust them

either use a flat screwdriver and gently work your way under them (on top of the bonnet) and rotate or push them from underneath with something that could reach them (something like a hammer handle) through the hole under the bonnet. mine came out easy pushing from under the bonnet

part no. would be great ;) yet another alternative

I found a bosch lambda on ebay, 60 quid plus 30 for transport. will ask renault for their price and if the diff is noticeable I'll take a chance on ebay

depends how much they'll charge for transport. anyway, 80 will be the best I'll find

65 is a good price.. I'll be paying around 100 here :(

maybe. wanna hear other thoughts on this. can't make an idea from 2 opposing sources

that's what I've read on a car parts website. I don't know, maybe renault recommends 50k like you said :S

they will but I'm afraid they will rub on the arch liners when on full lock. better get some used steel wheels (15") and some 195/50 tyres

when you had changed yours, what mileage did you have on the clock? I've read somewhere that they should last about 100k. I'm on 56k right now so wondering if they give up earlier often or not

205/45 r 16 are hard to find sometimes. go for used steel rims plus some cheap 195/50 r15 tyres if you can't find the std size.

you should find 195/50 r 15, and have a set of steel rims

I was about 37 mpg @ 65mph. should I consider a new lambda or ... engine warms up as it should, and it revs to 7250 when warm, so CTS and thermostat should be ok

was the wind blowing when you had the test? this can be a major factor

indeed I was talking about gallons not miles ;) I was thinkin that maybe the US gallon may be standardized and used all over the world, that's why I asked

I was talking about the instant fuel consumption at a given speed, this shouldn't have anything to do with the average mpg, and re-setting the trip computer would be just an option. I'll set the cruise to 65 mph with the first occasion and see if I'm above 40 like fred said
