Mine does this now its started drinking oil lol!!

Been speaking to someone who reckons they may be able to help with a part payout at renault in poole. But wel have to see how it goes!

Nopey the ring just went matey. Bit poor on a 2004 car with 30k on the clock really!

I'm in contact with someone from renault who can help me hopefully Its the ring on the 2nd cylinder If anyone wants to see a pic here you are http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb239/mattjk88/24012008330.jpg Look at the difference

maybe your right matey? Ill PM him and ask but for now im just gunna keep her topped up need a compression test to confirm

Penetrating oil works well - cheaper too

havnt got a cat so not to worried about that. Gunna have a look at the plugs now and see

Thanks - Nah its not the HG, no coolant loss just oil. Like i said before im using crappy oil could that make a difference? It was only overfilled a tiny tiny bit!

Real helpful thanks

Im using crappy oil atm so maybe that could be why guys?? 5-40 fully synthetic but it was only 13 quid for a gallon!

Update Its drunk a hell of a lot of oil!! Can someone advise how much the piston rings will be to change?? Thanks a lot

Be prepared for when it breaks joshy!! Haha you may get lucky i spose!!

Ill check it @ 1ish on my lunch break. Not much over really though im sure. I added a little more than the dipstick to compensate for the new oil filter as i always do.

Update: not to concerned about the noise at the mo - more concerned with the periodic blue smoke i get from my exhaust!! Did an oil change the other day so i MAY have overfilled it.. Not a good sign though really maybe one of the rings is leaking... Would oil thats overfilled be burned off...

Isnt a metal such as cobolt naturally blue? May be wrong. (other than being awfully expensive am i right?)

Not very strong to be honest mild sorta oil/petrol smell My oil isnt going down and hasnt in the last 10k iv owned it. The only thing I can think of is that i did an oil change the other day and when i took the filter off oil went everywhere. Also my crank breather leaves little to be...

Im sure i could figure it out but i thought maybe someone on here may have heard of it before (make life a little easier for me) Ill get some more info asap and post it up.

Umm what a gluestick? Surely not lol?

should it get louder as the engine revs up? thanks Clarkie

Didnt think you'd be giving me advice Collage boy!! Im suppose to be the clever one!!LOL :lolup: No thats a good idea actually thanks alot! I will get a volty on there tommrow or at the weekend It is quite possible that theres a leak on the inlet mani as i had it off a little while ago...

Coming from the engine bay in my 182 on the right hand side near the aux belt/alternator/inlet mani area. At first i thought the smell was perhaps a bit of oil dropping onto the exhaust but i don't think it is. The noise I thought was just an air leak by the inlet mani but i don't think...

haha gluestick I love it! For big shallow dents use a dent puller For medium dents heat the area up then blast it with soemthingv cold (air duster nitrous c02 fire extinguisher) For small dents you will need to massage in the inner part gently and pop it out.

Why dont you understand the 'need for it in a 1*2' Do you not like the idea of a bit of extra boost on tap when needed?

What does that mean? Place local to me does refills at about £5 per lb

yeah braking hard through a corner is a big no no!! Also learnt through mistakes similar to yours!

I'v never seen that in bournemouth (my home town) I guess he doesnt go out much in it

Standard system as followes Manifold(lambda) - Cat(lambda) - pipe - center silencer - pipe that breaks into 2 - 2 silencers at the back - tip

# Youd hope/though so lol

Sportlines or prolines significantly reduce bodyroll on the 1*2s you would have though the 197 would be similar dont know though...

Good idea but not practical for me or joe public really...
