I have the k tec with un silenced and decat it's awesome although can be a little drowny on a run , if you want noise check PM me ill send you some videos of mine after work !

and the battery light on the dash ! as said more than likely thrown the aux belt and cam belt ! :( adam is at renault Wolverhampton mate ring there parts and ask for him personally as i dont have the number to hand !

PS also noticed that your in stoke on trent nick ! nice to put names to faces , if you fancy the next west midlands meet you can travel down with me ! nice to have a local !!

Haha your a very lucky boy dan , you wife'd her yet? lol Mine lasted approximately 1 minute before telling me to 'behave now'

Hi Dan, welcome to the forum, i cant answer your question, but photos may help ! lol

lol tell him make an extra trip to stoke I'm in need of two doing lol if he can

I agree ! Lol Im sure I paid £170 for Cambelt kit , dephaser and aux kit at staff rate James ! Speak to this man , he's your bloke for genuine Renault bits !

Niiicccceeeeee think I may have to try imagine shack , seams to have better photo quality that photobucket :)

Depends on the compound of the tyre to if it will squeal as well, I know people with evos with toyo proxy R888s that squeal just as bad as my cheap tyres on my 182, my mate paid for cheap tyres on his type R and they don't ! As long as it drives okay the treads are legal which has been...

Ignoring the fact the power is bull, looks a clean version and the price is very good ! Good have a look and drive IMO !

Cheer mate :) thanks a lot ! It's a love affair haha !! Still happy as hell with it ! ​Yeah that's the plan mate come payday I'm going nip around Renault and get one on order :)

Well I spent my Sunday doing the usual Sunday thing , going crazy cleaning , my friend turned up so ended up cleaning his Type R , which was easier with his help! I then attacked mine once over hard , came up very well happy ! Also when i was cleaning , I noticed the sport badge was a little...

Awesome mate hope you love it :)

From what I can gather , both circa 5k ! depends on spec but anyway 240-260 , 300bhp is achievable with very big pockets ! Both have pros and cons really !

Haha oh yes ! And my scrapyard auctioned off 182 ! I've put more in than it cost to buy I reckon ! Lol nice people don't just give up the first sign of a £, mechanic bit helps though eh ;)

Most people tend to fit a megane r26 engine (the F4R T) lol see a few popping up here and there now

Thats the attitude mate you are a trooper ! Save rather than scrap !

Yeah you could do the lot in one go , if your happy enough , it can be done in situe but considering the repairs might make it easier to just get the lot out !

Yeah for your own peace of mind but its just a figure ! Don't get sucked into the bhp battle mate not worth it imo it's makes what it makes as long as your happy and it drives well! As long as it feels as quick as It did happy days!

Take it another independent and see what they come out with , can guarantee the weather didn't help mate , don't be dishearten either way it's only a figure mate as long as it drives well :) ​

Worth getting the bonnet up and having a look around ! Hopefully something obvious ! Maybe a specialist will know that sound from a failing part , but it's hard to guarantee when you can hear just a noise lol ! Keep us informed , curious for you mate ! ​

Two completely different dynos , i think regardless of who mapped it etc they will read different it's not uncommon to see differences , friend of mine had a saph cosworth and saw 511bhp at one place , and 480bhp at another ! Weather also doesn't help being HOT as hell, obviously cold air is...

It sounds like that area and could be a few things , it sounds like a belt driven noise ie a resprical noise , but without hearing it in person or seeing the engine I'm personally p*ssing in the wind so to speak , I could guess but that's useless and will just make you worry lol get it to a...

Hear hear Beyond me ! I had a 172 with 42k on was a nail! My 182 has 99925 ATM and its twice the car ! I always say buy on condition not mileage!!

Looks half decent ill give it that , not keen on CD player lol but that's easy swap? Wheels each to there own, but it's a later model so benefits from Cruise control and traction control :) good price for a later one with low miles , IMO completely depends on how well it was repaired and if it...

Cant really tell of the video but its the usual , most likely guessing , id get it to your local specialist ASAP mate !

How good are you in terms of spannering ? If your not compent don't attempt , no offence but you'll will properly make more of a mess as timing them isn't simple to most people as the engine is fully floating !

Usual things really that you check on every car , chassis match up on the log book etc Exhausts aren't as bad on 172s but still check it , rear discs are expensive , make sure it doesn't jump out of gear under acceleration , tyres , clutch is slipping ! If the belts and dephaser need doing ...

And then imagine all the effort a mechanic has to do to become a 'good mechanic', not just qualified that takes 3 years , i left school at 15 , started work at 16 , as a apprentice , im now 23 and still learning ! You never stop learning in our job , to be a very competent mechanic takes at...
