A standard cat will take the edge off but at 70mph everything will still be soaked in noise. You'll need to fit a silencer to make it much quieter.

If your battery is a 075 part number then you have the bigger battery rather than the 063.

Very true. Can't believe the place the guys got having gone from a backpack at a train station.

Type of guy you'd walk past in the street and think 'what the hell', but hes certainly got his head screwed on and living the dream. Brilliant video.

At least £220

Enjoyed that

If there aren't any cut wires or missing pins in the loom at the back of the stereo that those wire would connect to then check the back of the speaker itself. Just pop off the cover on the door and a torx bit will take them out and check connections.

That's some talent!

Quick question, I've recently done a full gearbox oil change and wanted to stick in some treatment because the synchros are getting crunchy, could I add this through the breather hole on top of the box? Is the Forte treatment recommended? ta

Its a ball ache but with patience and swearing it can be done. You can get a pair of Philips D2S bulbs for circa £25 on ebay. Halfords is £89.99 per bulb.

Leaking from the headlight washers, but behind bumper?

The lumpy cold start is normal.

Leave the engine running and unplug each injectors wiring and see if the idle gets worse usually points you in the right direction.

Very. Take off the fuel rail guard with a 10mm deep socket, then unbolt the fuel rail and disconnect the fuel line, its under pressure so will spray fuel if your not careful. then just wriggle like a mad man until the injectors and rail are free.

Update (sort of); Just had the car into my local specialist and he suspects the timing to be slightly out so looks like a belt change is on the cards in the near future.

It's normal. Welcome to renault sport ownership.

Changed box oil and washed it

Cheers for the help guys. I'll leave it alone now and ask the question when belt time comes round again.

This is the third RS I've had, granted its the first cup, and none of the previous were like this as far as I can remember. Usually when I jump in it after its sat for an hour it won't start first time or if it does it splutters into life with some hesitation then does the weird idle routine.

I got another set from Renparts and then sent them to be cleaned and have new seals put on

Just fired it up without the inlet temperature sensor connected and it made no difference. Plugged it back in and no difference. Should there be a difference in running?

Sorry rich 6 just checked again and it sits at 800. I've now cleaned the TB and temp sensor but still doing it. The lambda is a new Bosch unit that I fitted about 5 hours ago.

Idle is just the usual, sits at 500 and doesn't fluctuate on the rev counter. Does throw up the EML every 4 weeks or so but that was giving the lambda fault code. Where is the inlet temp sensor located in the bay?

They are all brand spanking new. I think I'll take the TB off and give it a once over with some carb cleaner because I haven't done that yet. From what I've read in other threads the coolant temp sensor can cause issues but not sure if that's relevant in this case?

Its just so annoying, I can hear the honeycomb in the cat being smashed to pieces and does my head in when sitting at a junction.

My 172 cup is driving me insane. When the car idles there is a misfire - you can hear it in the exhaust spluttering and the car shakes quite violently. Also when I sit in the car and the fan comes on to cool the engine the car shudders for roughly 3 seconds and then goes back to the misfire...

Bit of a thread revival here guys. My cup has similar issues as above and also smells of fuel (standard exhaust), the EML is now on and runs lumpy at idle but perfect with any load. Possible pre-cat lambda? Its had brand new plugs, coil pack, leads and injectors for 2 weeks hoping this would...

Hi all, Broken down at work, 70 miles from home. 172 cup is turning over and not firing due to the large brown relay being loose and will not sit in the box at all and also the purple one being corroded. Does anyone know of a fix that I can do or the likely cost of new relays? I've found a...

Possibly a heat shield or the manifold to cat fitting kit has come loose and it's the spring rattling. Mine does similar
