I did say it could be ECU they as you've had unluckily do fail
Thanks for giving an update though.
Be very careful with no imobiliser your insurance if the car is stolen is completly invalid. and they will refuse to pay out plus might report you to the police as not having insureance and...
Brakes can be worn in 5k or 50k depends on driver there not much to chnage £50 or so for pads form renault and 60 for disks. Fitment easy enough there loads of uprated setups aviliable for a good price if you do want to chnage them for stronger racer setups.
IMO check the car has all the...
You firstly have to remmber Renault investe a load in suspenion most cheap setups don't have one percent of the investment that Renault did so there upgrades arn't anywhere near as good IMO. Often people chnage the suspension and rave about it but then there comapiring worn 100k setups with...
Depends how good condition and if someoen wants them.
not a huge amount though cna get whole interiers dirt cheap these days with so many wanting 172 interiers.
Its sort of a normal f4R block but beefed up for turbo work with bigger engine as its a 800 series bottom end.
No simple box realy exists just the 6 speed IMO else you need to get adapter plates etc in which case IMO use a none renault bpox in which case IMo forget th hastle and use a nne...
The F4R should never be used in the Uk climate with 30 weight oil. its way to thin at temp the UK and most owners ever see.
You can depends how bad the oil stuff is.
Its great stuff
Because a certain comapny rate it so hightly and sell a lot of it on here IMO people chnage there old oil for this recomended stuff it like any il make the engine sound better vs old used oil hence the stuff get s popular and its cheap realy and as you say people follow recomendations.
I'd stick with stock pads for £17 cannot go wrong.
Otherwsie ds2500's or ds3000 if you realy need but since your downgrading from 4 pots I'd say try stock if you don't like them ds2550 are the best idea.
Should always be replaced 80p far a new one as there nyloc but few people do but best stick some lockign compound on them IMO always if your not willing to pay for new nuts.
Rear brakes are fine as stock.
For the fronts I'd forget big disk conversions I'd go for some 4 pots preferably dust sealed unless your going racing in which case you'll know why you don't want dust seals.
Bigger disk just up the unsprung weight and mean bigger aloys usually and stock disk...
ITB's with air con will add more to the cost just th extra work sorting the condenor etc
As for the cup setup tensioner yep its not cheap new best try second hand but its a great setup as its so simple to fix.
Cup setup is designed for no tensioer (alternator is the tensioer as such) with coolent pump pas pump and alternator only driving off it.
Usless trying to redesign somehting which already exists and works IMO.
Its not that effective compaired to a driver who is fully aware and knows the best way to respond in the given road conditions.
For most of the time though its great when your half asleep.
The less thats there the less the power taken form the engine electric rack has advanatges (basically simple and it works no fluid etc) but looses as its work to fit plus looses feedback from the wheel)
AUX belt powers the air con pump and since you'd want to bin that I'd want to also bin the whole setup for weight reasons so no condensor also no climate control/air con unit a nice simple heater matrix etc.
Dash top off to get to it there a guide fubar wrote on his website if you want it.
I forget I think the units a clossed design one so just get a new one,
If you want to remove them then yep you cna just remember to underseal all the body work and check it every few month else th car is likly to start to rust IMO.
