There's nothing to be puzzled about dude! It hasn't got low oil pressure so won't kick the light on. But as a precaution, top it up to max and check it daily. (Is there a parrot in here?? Lol£

What's puzzling? The only warning light you'll get is a low oil pressure light. If that light comes on, 99 times out of 100 the damage is done. Prevention is better than cure so just top it up and check it daily.

If you get a warning light it's too late anyway the damage is done! Warning light is bad! Lol Just top it up to max today, drive it for a bit, check it again later on. I certainly wouldn't faff about draining it again.

Is the car on completely flat ground?? I've never had to put more that the quoted 5.1L in so it does seem odd. My old Merc sprinter used to hold 8.5 litres but I always had to put 9L in it to get it to maximum.

That's proper cool!!

I've just done one funnily enough! Disconnected the battery, removed old parts one at a time, replacing as I went, reconnected battery and that was it. Didn't take very long either.

You'll know the answer to this... Doesn't a head skim muck up the timing on these?? OP, your car has done 58k not 158k. Just do belts, water pump and dephaser. Spend the rest on some decent tyres and go and enjoy it on track.

Needs a gearbox rebuild. Common fault on the mk3 renaultsports sadly. Is it under any form of warranty at all @Gemmaa200 ?

That's business insurance though, not 'traders' insurance.

So yeah, cool as f**k! Lol

Where do you work and what do you do? It looks cool as f**k.

My trade policy was £1,800 a year and covered road risk only. No theft or anything like that. I was insured to drive anybody else's car up to £20k and personal cars up to £10k. Unless you're actually trading and need trade insurance, it will always be cheaper to insure it normally. That's...

Or a previous owner of your car has changed the hubs? But yes, you are right. With the pint of times these cars change hands/get modified, the only 100% way to tell is to measure the bolt centres.

Ring Renault, give reg, buy correct part. Bish bash bosh.

"Where in the world are you" So "What is your location, I will point you towards your local specialist" Jesus Christ.

No need to get Chopsy. I have 172/182 spares coming out of my ears but you obviously know best so you carry on.

@xpo Where in the world are you? Your first plan of action should be to let a specialist look at it. A specialist from this forum no less! For the sake of an hours labour, get someone to properly diagnose it and give you your options. None of us on here will be able to give you definitive...

As long as there's no dirt on it and it's free from old product you'll be fine.

It's on 'sataday' Duh.

Ha! ;-)

Have you tried the 'man up' technique? I bet you work in an office...

Not talking to me?

It's great to see these proper cheap old cars getting some decent attention. Well done mate. :-)

If it was me, and I had somewhere to keep it, I'd do just that. Keep it. And keep it absolutely mint. Bit of sentimental value, something different to drive to a country pub on a hot summers day, and something a bit different.

Kebab virginity?? It's part of any mans staple diet surely!

Yep I'm exactly the same mate. My mini was costing me over £10 a day. (Largely because I drive it like it's stolen) This Clio was filled up last Sunday, I've used it all week and when I got in it this morning, it was still registering as a full tank. Computer says 64mpg too. Add that to £30...

Because you didn't want to meet new people? (I have a good memory...)

No the colour was the key factor. My mate has/had a 900 mile illiad blue up for similar cash and it didn't get anywhere near the interest of the yellow one.

I have about £30 to my name. If the above can be carried out within my budget, book me in.
