i keep forgetting the discussion forums.lol. renault should no how to do it properly tho shouldnt they? my grand scenic spends so much time in the dealer i thought now we were on first name terms they would do it if i dropped the engine in to them. but the other hand says if they cant fix your...

my 172 is still dead:( and i cant find anyone to do dephaser etc or i would be there

i have a 03 cup with a blown lump, i have another engine and have whipped the head off to replace the head gasket a s a precaution. i have bought a new dephaser and belt kit. i replaced the cambelt on my previous cup with no problems but all the talk about the floating pulleys is scaring me to...

I am rebuilding my 172 cup engine in next couple of months, head back on, new dephaser and belt kit. Engine is out of car. Would anyone give me a hand to put it back together? I don't want a garage to do it as I Would like some experience in this engine myself. I did the cambelt on my previous...

Scam scam scam.lol

Get a second opinion. Always good plan.

As someone said its not going to be big ends and its odd they suggested it. Seized engines usually low oil related ortiming issues.

Ok to cut a long story very slightly shorter I had a 02 cup about a year ago but then decided to sell it. I missed it so much I bought another on good old ebay. Now it might surprise you to learn it wasn't quite as described, I think the long and short of it was it was a wreck.lol. On getting...

Sounds to me like garage trying to worm out of it.lol.

thnx.lol

correct me if im wrong but they wont work if off ground as the bias valve isnt under load

thats different tho, they are always blowing up anyway.lol. will have to grin and bear fuel costs then, might get a smaller van in that case. shame cos love the traffic

was stupid idea anyway cos i dont eat alot of chips

yes ive just been reading up on it, seems like a lot of hassle and as its been utterly reliable in 3 years i think i will leave it as it is. might just get it mapped to see if i get better mpg. was just looking at ways to lower fuel bills in todays crap economic times!!

hi, i run a renault trafic van which is now just out of warranty so am exploring ways to cut my fuel costs. i had thought a remap from current 115 bhp as these engines apparently respond well to remaps and hopefully lower fuel costs. i no of a few people that run vans on old oil but they are...

looks like im a minority!

odd cos i switched to avons.lol. just goes to show never trust someone elses opinion 100%!!! guess it depends alot where you drive it most, mine spent most of time on cornish country roads

nope, great in wet grip wise. sidewalls too hard for me, made car jittery under braking and ride horrible. prob wouldnt notice if on coilovers but not for me.

is 2 rainsport 2's from my cup sitting in garage, were on 2 weeks at most!!!

cool air is denser which means with more fuel more power. hence why altitude causes loss of power becuse its thinner and less dense(i think)lol

anyway if its clicking on cornering driveshafts prob nacked due to lack of grease.lol

i no there is an art to porting cylinder heads and flow testing them but does the same apply to matching inlets?

no i no, only got head off today so will source tools when i have a nother head. do you rent them out?lol

thing is my head is nacked so thought i might get cams done while stripped otherwise i wouldnt bother.

i want supply only as i like to tinker myself (not with!). however i do want the manifolds matched.

im not worried about idle, obviously it needs to go through mot tho,lol. im not going mad with it so want to keep followers , valve springs etc standard. any idea on best price / place to buy? thnx
