Re: Bren's Sunflower 172 Couple of purchases this weekend. Managed to find an engine, so went to pick that up off Bomber with f0xy yesterday. Ordering new bearings, rings, seals, gaskets, head bolts, cambelt and aux belt kit etc etc next week. Engine will be getting stripped down and off for...

Them stickers are in the most random of places.

iirc they are a silly price from renault, but you could pick one up from ebay or off a scrapped engine.

£100 for the sump too? I think i paid £50 last summer for one, and is a driveway job, not £100 worth.

Looks and sounds great!

Re: Bren's Sunflower 172 yeah, have to press the bottom on mine before the ignition comes on - every time I get in the car I think "please start, please start, please start"

Re: Bren's Sunflower 172 1 key is annoying. plus it only unlocks using the clifford fob, yet the key doesn't work in the door... so if the battery in the fob dies, then I can't get in the car, or start it haha. Has randomly not started on one occasion thanks to it.

Re: Bren's Sunflower 172 I started a thread earlier asking what was needed. Basically Locks, ignition barrel, UCH, ECU, and keys. Getting everything off a donor car as the ECU has to match the UCH (multi timer unit for ph1). It shouldn't be too much of a ball ache to swap everything over, but...

So much love for superlaggeras

Re: Bren's Sunflower 172 Well, managed to find an engine which I'll be going to pick up next weekend. Also getting everything I need to replace the locks and immobiliser on the car as it has a clifford aftermarket system which is really dodgy, and there is only one key. (for those of you that...

To the rescue as usual.

Cheers for all the replies guys, I was told there was a UCH on the ph1 so thanks for cleaning that up. I'm picking up everything I need next week of a donor car so hopefully all will go well. I'll be glad to be rid of this dodgy aftermarket alarm/imobiliser

A special special bus.

Looks fantastic, have the spacers had any impact on handling?

ahh cheers man.

Need to swap the locks, ignition barrel and UCH on my ph1, and I'm not sure if I need the matching ECU (from the donor car) as well. Should be any easy one for someone on here, but I'm terrible with electrics. Cheers guys.

Love RB so much, wheel colour is great, but I'm not a fan of the 182 wheels generally.

Re: Bren's Sunflower 172 Exactly, Should be fun AND reliable this summer. Yeah That was the first time I'd washed it in about 2 months... maybe more. Covered up the awesome colour.

Re: Bren's Sunflower 172 haha don't worry you're not the first to ask. I'd take the opportunity if I could. A couple of months ago I might have considered it, but I really have fallen in love with it these past few weeks.

Re: Bren's Sunflower 172 Yeah would be a good idea, just have to see how things go with getting it back on the road first off.

Another Sunflower with engine trouble! - bottom end went on mine the other day, think it was down to an oil pump failure or a blockage somewhere.

seats down, and maybe front seat forward... got my 43" home in the back of the ph1 but was driving like a woman. upright.

Re: Bren's Sunflower 172 Yeah, lasted a few months haha... not had the best of luck really. Cheers man. Went year before last, may be tempted to go. We'll just have to see.

Re: Bren's Sunflower 172 Cheers man, sure it'll get sorted soon enough... and I'm sure I'll rope you in somehow too!

Looks great that

Re: Bren's Sunflower 172 A little gutting yeah, more annoyed at the fact I have to get the peasant wagon to work for a few weeks at least. It is an awesome colour though, much better in summer when it really really bright!

Re: Bren's Sunflower 172 Had two people mithering me about buying it the past few weeks too haha

Re: Bren's Sunflower 172 Yep.. likely. To be honest, I was expecting it to go before that. It's done about 5k since that happened though. Was completely out of the blue too, just glad it was around the corner form my house it decided to go. Will have a bit of a think, but will certainly be...

Re: Bren's Sunflower 172 bugger me... well I've never had any problems on all my other cars. Well, I had an interesting weekend. ICV has gone mental, so car keeps cutting out as it won't hold revs which was/is really really frustrating. Fitted N/S driveshaft last night with thanks to a...

Looks great, engine bay looks nice and tidy.
