Apply some pressure to the engine mount and any other rails/covers around the area and see if it quietens down before taking apart

It does sound like something could be loose, or something is knocking into something else 🤔 Was it the same before the work was done on the engine? I have a different 1.2 engine in mine (D4F) and it doesn't make such a noise How long ago was your last engine belts service and how much...

Cant possibly think why *Edit: sorry wrong car, but you should put pops and bangs on a Wind that would be mental

Yes belt plus idler pulley as you say. If it isn't valves it could potentially be carbon cannister, worth unplugging to make sure its not that causing the noise (it will throw an error code when unplugged) I would tighten up the engine mount bolts to spec as well just to be sure Do you have a...

Usually the valves are tappy on top When was the belt/tensioner last done? Is the engine side cover/mount torqued up correctly?

Make sure you get black braided lines so the car doesn't reject them

[D7R TV on Youtube] This guy is running an 02J, might be something in this video (or his others) that's useful to you Build sounds mega, look forward to seeing it

Active corrosion protection

Run one axle spacer, then a slip on to push it a little further if you need it Camber shims won't get you anywhere near the angle you would need

Looking at the invoices I know the sensor has been changed on mine but I don't know about the loom. Looks like shrink tube on the black wire..., will find out when I next pull the airbox My loom is cream/black and the Hella replacement is red/blue 🥴 did you go genuine?

Only one way to find out ✂️✂️✂️✂️✂️

Yep, just making sure you get the wires the right way around 🙈

Hella and Febi do them for about £20 with loom, you can get a genuine one for £60 Renault Parts direct + £24 for the loom bringing it up to £90 or so with delivery I have a Hella one as my backup, but not yet had to fit it so can't recommend it as such EDIT: Some private sellers have genuine...

Looks like a one way valve, maybe PCV/vacuum system? If faulty it would cause a high idle but not specifically a cylinder misfire Have you tried moving the cylinder 3 injector to say cylinder one and see if the misfire moves with it? If it's not the injectors you may be chasing electrical...

Got the rear in the air to change pads / paint calipers / see if there are any dirty secrets What in the actual f**k is this repair. Exhaust mount, hose clipped, to a riveted bumper mount... At least I hope that's an attempted repair. I have a contact for a welder to fix the silencer, but...

In no particular order after finding the exhaust cracked: Heatshield mount torn Heatshield mount epoxied (I think) Gearstick lift reverse plastic snapped At least it has brass bushes in the shifter... And apparently an entire tub of copper grease smeared up in there I have the old gearstick...

You can also run Peugeot 207 2L front calliper's on standard 1.2 knuckles (with spacers) which let you run 280mm discs. Pedal gets longer but the stopping power is greater I was going to say you can pretty much swap anything over can't you, the question is at want point should you just buy the...

As an owner of a 1.2 and a 172, no not really Maybe suspension if you want to go down coilovers route, knuckle spacing maybe wrong though No power mods are available aside from putting the 2L engine in it, but then you would just buy a 172/182 If you have any specific queries go for it, I...

Priced to reflect issues, but this was not an issue I was aware of at the time 😅

Went to remove cat, and the silencer rotates with it... fun fun fun fun

Lens will only come off with heat, best be avoided if possible! I have mangled a few experimenting, @SharpyClio did a great job recently in his thread You can remove the bulb holders so hopefully a fix is doable

Put mine about halfway, then adjusted it when back on the car using a wall to set it level (Engine on if its self levelling) Does the motor work when you adjust the lights? (to confirm the motor works) Did you have to unhook the ball from its mount or did it come out easily? (If it was...

PANIK Phew... If it's standard it will probably need replacing sooner or later Sound as, never heard any complaints either worth a punt

The gift that keeps on giving. Shaftec's fitted a few years ago. How is the Borg and Beck holding up @Crayola ?

@SharpyClio that's a very clean separation on the headlight lens - did you do it in the oven?

There is probably a bumper off guide on forum but this helps to see. I put tape along the bumper join just in case the bumper pops up as it can scratch the paintwork - similar can happen to the headlight as well ask me how I know

The plastic rod the goes in and out for height adjustment came loose in mine Depending on airbox setup you can get the motor out without removing the headlight. Removing the headlight is easier though. Unplug cable. Bend tab on the headlight housing away. Rotate to release from headlight...

🥲 The rest of the work is sound and the offer to sort on warranty there or at my local renault garage was there - will chalk it down to "it is what it is" The answer to your question is no, but I am trying trying to avoid any sh*t flinging

Lubricating the fork pivot stopped a lot of noise for me after a clutch change, failing that a noisy release bearing?

Got my s**t together and tackled the tensioner. I messaged TwoTechs and Terry gave me a call, I could get the tensioner replaced under warranty otherwise he gave me some tips on how to tackle removing the bolt The trick was to wedge a screwdriver between the tensioner and the mount to hold it...
