Could be a dodgy wire or sensor. IMO just keep an eye on it.

Worth keeping an eye on the burn and ask the garage when it goes in to haver a quick look but for the cost to fix if its valver or rings its not worth paying to get it fixed. Assume you do 12k a year then its only say £30 a year fixing it depends what wrong could cost a lot more than that...

that sort of oil burn is low realy however there must bbe something burning or loosing oil assuming you haven't a small leak then throught the valves or the rings etc. I wouldn't be to worried Renault spec was 1 lter per 1k although work would have beeen done with a car burning half that

Stock disks are more than enough. Ds 2500's are a popular choice, stock is ofteen enough though with good fluid etc.

Abs sebsor is on the top of the hub just above the driveshaft the ring is the the drivbeshaft just below the sensor

You don't need coilovers etc for a track day. I'd recomend not bothering and spending the money on track days/instruction the ride will be better.

I'd do it ever 72k or so.

Take it to a renault dealer and get it checked on the clip.

1.2 phase 2 is a wholes different engine and potential problem/fixes On the 1.2's check the throttle body give them a good clean out alos check the plugs. You don't have an idle control valve.

There are few people who would tune the car that hard to need injectors to willing to spend to develope. The pump is another serious limit to power Its been proved to amke 137hp but that overridding the bypass on the 2000 bar pump limit which isn't recomeended bigger injectors would help make...

The engine survival depends on how its tunning big injecots sprayinf fuel badly on the walls etc and high EGT will kill it. How long and how strong it is is a bit of an unknown. As for the gearbox its not as bad as people say in many ways it won't last if you try and kill it if your gentle etc...

Just make sure the injectors are all codes to the ECU. WOuldn't bother with any more than a new cambelt if needed.

My guidance would be to buy standard or spend a decient amount and buy a whole new suspension springs and dampers.

Halfords own FDB845 I used to use andd were good stock copy part realy or other motorparts places ANy disks though

Engine size should have no bearing on how much you spend on good suspension

Renault arn't as expensive as you'd think.

what springs claim and get are different. Few realy give what they claim but hey bigger numbers sell

If the battery runs down what would run the alarm? Don't worry it won't go off if it hasn't already.

High milage depends on loads injectors and pumps can be problems but theey can be on any car 80k is often a problem point. Mind you mines on 147k and it had a very very hard life and there no problems relating to the milage. I was looking at a Megan 80 the other day 163k was fine no problems...

If the price is right can be the best idea yep. Asd for wiring depends how you do about it IMo forget the UCH and trying to like into the ecu from the new car eithe rremap the stock ecu if it can be (unlikly) or just swop all the wiring looms over or just run two seperate system one for light...

Check the abs sensor rings,

Easy was is to buy one all built and finished will be much cheaper if not buy a hevily tunned one and swap the bits for standard even if it menas buying a new engine etc and sell the car off as stock and the tunned bits didn't cost as much and you know they work or least did work. 260hp isn't...

Standard disks and pads are more than enought if your having problems with them then sort the faulty brakes out.

The rules were set by the emmisions standards the older engine had 18k service rules The horror stories were for other engine the k9k doens't have the same issues,

Why not leave it with a familt friend etc and get them to drive it once ever while

Why not turbo you car?

Each to there own I don't like the Mk3 don't think the handling is as good as the Mk2 the Mk1 is even better depends what you want though. The 100 has the problem that to get the power the turbo's a bit big so you need to rev it to get the power. The 80 is IMO the better engine and the better box.

Parts arn't diffiuclt just order from Frannch etc dealers and get them to post or ebay etc People want big money as they can seell for good prices abroard due to the exchange rate. They did do a rally and racing versions admitidly with stock engined realy you can buy all the bits sort off...

get the ecu metal bracket offf and check the loom usualy the break is in the first bit of wiring where it is bent over to go into the ECU

Stupid question but were you driving past the same place could be ratio interfearance. Enough cars have refused to start in some places over the years due to nothing more than radio interfearance,
