Lanoguard smells like horse s**t and needs to be applied every 6 months.
My mate did the underneath of his Landrover and followed the instructions to the letter And it worked really well. Bit of a ball ache doing it every 6 months though.
Unfortunately gearbox repairs are a given on most French hot hatches. (X 100 for a clio!)
But once it’s done and if it’s maintained properly, it will last ages. So don’t stress too much.
Me personally, id send your current gearbox to @NorthloopCup for a complete refresh and bang a new clutch...
f**k my life that was a hard day.
All I’ve done is get it to a level that I can now give it a full valet tomorrow. Trying to tackle something as fucked as this in one hit would never work.
I’m broked.
CC just seems a platform for massively inflated shite.
Which is a shame as on the beginning, they sold some really cool and unique cars that had been meticulously maintained and cherished.
Now they’ll sell any old s**t and advertise it using long words to pad it out.
Yeah I’ve never heard of it elsewhere either. The previous owner only told me - and the fact it had done 15+ track days in his ownership - after I’d paid for it. 😂
I did manage to get the service book updated correctly by Renault so that any future owners had it in writing what had been done.
My first ever 172 was 1 year old with 10,000 miles on it when the aux belt snapped, took the cambelt out and ruined the head (Apparently).
It actually came in to the Renault Dealership I was working at for the warranty work.
I then bought it aged 4 years old with 36k on it.
Do a 1-2 warm up laps, then 2-3 fast laps, come in and check pressures. You want about 28-30psi hot.
My MRF’s are about 23/24 cold and ideally 28/29 hot. Slightly higher on the rear but that’s my personal preference.
You could lower it on 60mm springs but it would drive absolutely horrible. Bordering on unsafe to be fair.
Even 35mm springs remove most of the comfort.
A set of coilovers can be had for £200 on eBay, and you can go 100mm on the back and 80 on the front. (And it will still drive absolutely...
Whilst I love a fast estate, and the technology doing what it’s doing is undeniably clever, I can think of many cars I’d choose to take on track before I took an automatic car.
But that’s not to take away the engineering fabulousness that is the RS Audi range.
In my living room I have my old Cambridge audio amp and some Dali (sp) speakers. All hidden and the amp hasn’t been turned off for 5 years now. 😂 The sound is awesome, absolutely awesome.
And in the kids play room, we have a generic Samsung/hitatchi/whatever was at Argos sound bar. It...
