its not that old, only done about 6k on it, suppose i could change it again though, its pretty cheap and easy to do might try the CTS thing in the mornin if ive got time, rarely do, plus ive now got a problem with the alarm !...

5 at most really........if you mean seperate ones for each gear im in, after that its fine its like its runnin on 3 cylinders really.......jus not itself at all

it idles perfectly normally, but once you go to drive off it hesitates, low on power and the exhaust note isnt quite right, 1 min later and its all fine ive replaced most things on that list

dont other things need the info from the CTS though mate ?.......like fuelling etc, wont unplugging it completely bugger it all up

thanks mate ill give it all a go one point, the hose that connects to the inlet manifold which comes from the map sensor, mine is araldited onto the manifold because the bit it goes onto, on the manifold, snapped off, do you think this might have anything to do with it ?

i prefer the term cautious lol

this only really happens from when the car has been left for a few hours, if its still hot then its ok basically for the first 30 seconds/1 minute of me driving the car is low on power and feels like its only runnin on 3 cylinders, after ive drove down the road its fine, jus comes back to life...

im not sure to be honest mate, George wanted one but ive not been able to sort him out with it, ive just been too busy with work to sort it properly

Andy @ GDI http://www.a-pp.comwww.a-pp.com oilman from this forum does delivery on it

Silkolene rules !!!........proper ester based synthetic, and not over the top prices like Mobil 1......you get 5L in a bottle not 4L ! ive got Pro S 5W-40 to go in the valver

still seems dodgy as funk to me, once the caliper clamps down on the disc, doesnt it get pulled forward in the carrier ?........doesnt that put stress on those guide pins against the hole they are in, in the carrier ? i do realise its obviously ok or else everyone would crash all the time, but...

well i really didnt expect the caliper to be held on in such a way, i thought it would be a lot more secure that 2 small bolts which go into a nut with a tube on the end which happens to just sit inside the carrier, not secured in, in any way strange

ask northy, he knows a method

when i was doing the brakes on my car, one of the guide nuts?....on the caliper carrier fell out i presume this isnt normal ? ill order new ones tomorrow if it isnt

£21 + vat + delivery

i think BenR might have an ITG in stock maybe ? i can do em but im really busy at the moment and dont wanna piss you off by messing you around

i *think* Silkolene do it, but i think it says on the website to check with them if its suitable for your engine or not

ring Renault, i wouldnt put up with paying that if its a known fault

i bought my oil off oilman :) at FCS

as above......performance filter in OE airbox

a lot easier than i thought, dont know why ive been paying someone else to do this for me fitted my Brembo Max discs and Pagid Fast Road pads today think i might replace the calipers as they dont look 100% but they still stop the car pretty well if any of you are a bit wary of doing this...

i got my Pagid from GSF, ring em up

do you have to take the cap off the brake fluid reservoir when doing this ?

thats the thing though, i need bite from first use, i dont really hammer my brakes

never tried the fast road, but the TarOx rally pads need warming up to get the best from them

yea i know, but it stops the edges getting rusty and it had collected on the disc surface which would be in contact with the pad, it wasnt just in the wrong place it had collected and was raised up about 1mm in quite a large section of the disc

let me know if you manage to get hold of the engine mate its also got a near full SFS Silicone Hose set on it worth £600

well ive gone and bought Pagid F/R as i got em very cheaply bought Brembo Max discs too but the anti rust coating on one of em was sprayed all to c**k so im gettin a replacement on Monday

keep hosing the car off at different stages rather than just at the end also a quick detailer spray should get rid of them
