Car is cheap , normally a reason , lack of service history being one , I'd steer very clear ! It's only a colour mate !
If it was < £2000k maybe worth a look
But IMO I'd rather a mint black on that a knackered Inferno!
Its over heated and taken the head gasket with it ? So it sounds like something else is at fault ? I'd check the thermostat make sure it's not stuck , also check the rad for blocks etc ! If your werent loosing any coolant seams odd :S
Remap was a good start :) they struggle with turbo failure , so make sure all that is okay first anything untoward don't start ! Same again with clutch, it may still slip the clutch but that's a risk you'll have to take!
As for the inlet flats , there are valves that are inside the inlet...
I'd imagine its the same as a 172 cup , but the only way to be 100% is ring who ever you want to do it and explain ! If you haven't already decided there's plenty ! Birchdown did mine ! Very good job and very reasonable prices !
Photos of the said drive shaft and hub? Could have worn both down ! But without pics weeing in wind personally ! Others might tell you if it's common not heard it myself though !
Mine makes like a belt whine noise when started up from cold , I had the belts done my Birchdown so that's nothing I think seams everyone has it !
I thought I could hear a little rattle , maybe just hearing things !
Wont do any harm making sure it has the right oil and a new filter I spose ...
Does sound a little dephaser'y if that's a word ! Can you vouch for the oil that's been used ? Obviously if its wrong it may be too thick or thin !
This cause be causing the noise ! Needs a full diag either way but worth doing a oil and filter !
FINALLY I have steering rack bushes :D
They have landed , just need to bolt them up ! Look fairly straight forward to fit but I said that about the Anti roll bar bushes , and look what a job I had with them haha
Hopefully have them on pretty soon :)
Just a quick one , spoken to the renault parts bloke today about my headlamp washer jet , I've explained I've fitted it , and it's leaking , he said all OE parts come with a years warranty (happy days news to me) but it has to diagnose by a renault tech , so got through to service and it's...
Spund like possible swing mount to me, The dog and bone one as referred to on sports, Even swinging it with your hands wouldn't really show that up! Get under it with a bar and have a poke about !
i nearly did it and ive been in the trade for 7 years ! worked on most types of car , and renault are the only muppets that came up with this lol dont stress easily available to sort and you wont do it again lol !!
Wouldn't worry we often have cars that are standing in for MOT , 13 months isn't that long ! Tyres should be fine , brakes should be okay but for the sake of it I'd have strip cleaned up , pads have prob gone a little hard so take the face off!
Wont do any harm doing a oil and filter ! But...
Had a go at wiring in the LED footlights today , found a permanent live from the CD player , wired that down to the lights , i also wired the earth from the switchable earth on the pin switch on the door , , they didnt work :@
So i threw a big paddy and threw my tools in the back of the car...
