That.

Well.. got hold of an unlocked Ph1 ECU from Wilky, and after some messing around. This happened. http://youtu.be/uMPqGXn9iCk It's been nearly 8 months!

Yep, Green sensor is oil pressure also.

Flickering? Check the green sensor on the front of the engine block, just below the inlet. Give it a wiggle/make sure it's secure. Had the same problem on both 172s before, they sensor can loosen when you go over a bump.

They are a very nice alternative to F1s. Not sure on the colours though on an inferno.

Tried the key, doesn't work.. changing the locks over anyway, as I bought ECU, UCH, ignition and locks off bomber as a full matching set.

Possibility, yet some of the relays in the engine bay didn't sounds like they were doing anything... so will give a new loom a go first.

Unbelievable isn't it. Jord came down today to see if we could get it started, no luck again today after trying a couple of different things. So, probably going to have to try a different loom as there could be a random wire that's been messed with that we can't see until we take the whole...

They are both gems.

Also, got my hands on a new set of inlet manifold bolts as I've lost a couple and have a new RS lower inlet to fit. Typical Renault though, each bolt is in a separate bag.. gave me a laugh.

Wiring was attacked today, many laughs were had. Thought it would just be maybe 2 or 3 wires and a control box... oh no. This is what was ripped out. Took (Jord) ages.. it was spliced into all sorts. Amazing just how many random wires and boxes there were. We managed to get the car cranking...

Gutted I missed the first run out, but good to see you with something on track again after months of messing around.

Cheers buddy... not much more to go until it's back on the road, but have a few other things I want to do once it is.

Well a little job done when I got home today wanted to see how the new spacers looked. The front track looked insane due to being so low. originally looked like this.. Spacers fitted (camber not adjusted yet so a more negative on the N/S)

also.. £10,750 for a Cat D

That looks terrible.

Warrington. Used to frequent KK's etc.

hopefully won't be long until I can join you on the next one.. been too long since I had a good drive out somewhere.

Cool, thanks.

ah great, MOT is due and was wondering about this. I thought the new rules had come in. My airbag light is on due thanks to that dodgy connection under the passenger seat. So will it definitely still pass if that is the only issue?

Personally I wouldn't go for a cup if I was using on the road, but a lot of other people get on OK. for occasional track use I suppose it makes sense.

yeah.

Purely for track duty?

Well it's not a big deal, until I find the connector on the loom. If that is different then not sure what to do. I have a feeling it's been swapped at same time the ignition barrel in a previous life. As the original barrel doesn't match the doors. It could be off another renault, or even a...

WTF is the bottom one then!?

Was chatting to jord about it and he believes the new one (off your old car) is a ph2 ring. May have shared parts with ph2. Apprenently though I can just use the original ring as only the key, Multi Timer an ECU are matching sets. Looking at some pictures of ph2 key sets for sale, the top one...

If anyone has any pictures from a build that might help me.

and this.. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?652440-Ignition-Barrel-(Ph1)-differences

Odd one.. In the process of replacing the locks and ignition to get rid of a crappy aftermarket alarm that was fitted to the car, plus the original ignition barrel and the locks on the doors/boot don't match.. Anyway.. got round to churning the ignition barrel and noticed something that...

Thanks, will have a look at it tomorrow.
