That's just down the road from me!! Let me know please mate, that would be great.

Hi mate. What a lovely offer, but I'm up in Staffordshire so not close unfortunately!! Thank you so much though, really appreciate it. If your ever up this way, please give me a shout (as I will if I'm down there!!!)

I couldn't get a drive in the trophy at my local dealers but I did get a drive in a 200t with cup chassis. My god what a car. Loved the gearbox and the power delivery. The general drive and feel was really good. I have to have one next, it's a must now! Really was impressed with it. The only...

I'm not surprised he doesn't want to lose you with skills like that. Awesome work mate, incredible to see something so bad turned around.

It doesn't have to stay a dream...... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/192119194514

thanks @charltjr and everyone. ill call them tomorrow, but i think youve got it spot on.

There is a whole section for 'personal exports' and it says only if you are exporting it yourself. No ibformation anywhere to say what to do.

Hi If I was to sell a car to a foreign national (French) then what do i do? Obviously apart from checking it's not a scam and the money is real. There is no information on the 'excellent' dvla website and the v5 says nothing about it apart from personal exports. I'm reading old posts on forums...

Welcome to the club. Looks a nice car, get some pics and a thread up and enjoy.

I completely ageee with you. That's what makes the car scene so unique. Everyone has their own tastes and thoughts of nice. To hell with what everyone else thinks. However your creation is beautiful and looks very very well done!!

Wow what a Car you have!! V6 reps usually do not go down very well on here (or anywhere) but that's an awesome looking car.

Nice photos and Car. Absolutely love tornados and have done since seeing them at Cosford and other air shows as a child.

Awesome thing!! Definately get some more pictures up please. I personally think the stickers look ace.

Looks a good idea mate.

Apologies mate, worried I had become one of those members that annoys people by ignoring advice! ;) Fingers crossed so far it's a million times better. :)

I listened to the advice, Although due to work and family commitments recently I wasn't able to take a day out to travel to a specialist I would trust (not the one on my doorstep that change cambelts with tippex) However I have found an issue, rectified it and it appears to have solved the...

How on earth do you take the loom off? It seems impossible!

I might take it somewhere to have them check it over, after today I don't want to mess with wiring ever again! Lol

Well, borrowed a soldering iron today, bought some solder and electrical tape and had a go. Was out hunched over the engine bay for ages and it just wouldn't work so gave up. Sat in the house moping around and thought I'd give it another go, and it worked!! All fixed for now and the car is...

I'm kicking myself for not getting this one. Tried to arrange a viewing before Christmas and for one reason or another couldn't sort it. Then I had to get my absolute shed and regret it even more!!!

Also worth checking the tdc sensor on the right side of the block. That is also one of the symptoms I was having. Mine was a possible dodgy aftermarket sensor and the wires being bare!!

I'm hoping it's something different really after the relative disappointment at the 7 (from me anyway) I also really hope they iron out the issues with it quickly, people I know are only just moving to the 7 and are still taking them back for faults etc.

I thought illusion paint was petrol blue and liquid yellow?

Apparently you can plug the hole with a bolt and cable tie the sensor underneath and achieve the same with the light going off. Although I wouldn't do that unless it was safely shielded from the elements. I never had a light on my 182 with a Decat so it's just random as to whether it comes on or...

That's not very nice is it. :( lol

thanks guys. ive pm'd @NorthloopCup and im also waiting for an auto electrician to call me back. if @MicKPM wasnt so far away and i could trust it to get there i would take it to him, but its not worth the risk of getting stuck miles from home. fingers crossed it will be sorted soon. :/

Fingers crossed someone can help and it won't cost a lot. I'm running out of money, patience and interest now unfortunately. Hope to get it sorted though asap as I'm stuck without a car.

It did do, but since disturbing it the gauge sways like a drunken sailor!! Lol I would do if I had the ability, plus it disappears straight into the hard bit of the loom.

Think I might have found the problem and now I've barely got it running at all. Yes those are bare wires just as they enter/exit the wiring loom. Coolant sensor wiring too. :( @MicKPM is that something you've seen and dealt with before? Just wish you were closer!! Getting to hate this car now!!

Just on the off chance I purchased and fitted a genuine blue Renault tdc. It runs a little better however touching the wires makes it cut out. Interestingly some monkey has been here before, the old tdc was a blue plugged spurious part and a replacement blue wiring loom has been fitted although...
