I would sooner buy a second hand genuine one from someone off here, when a poor patent parts goes wrong/fails are they going to cover your costs? Don't get many problems with rads so second hand should be fine
It's true they are given a life span of 10 years, but I doesn't mean there going to randomly start going off, for some reason the airbag has received a voltage be it from the control unit or crash sensor I would want to get the srs system checked Renault are going to Do diddly squat, why should...
Right I am posting this really for future reference, my clio started acting strange idling around 1000-1100 rpm then developed a slight misfire when upto running temperature, due to mine being a turbo 172 and suffering from detting I thought the worst so got to work carrying out a compression...
When I was an apprentice at mercedes, I bought my car into the workshop and attempted to "clean" my noisy alternator belt when the engine was running, rag got caught, hand went between pulley and belt, engine stalled, belt snapped and mashed my hand = fail
Right just wanted to make sure I'm going to be buying the right ones, if I fit megane 225 rods into a f4r with f4r crank can I just buy f4r big end bearings/shells?
Also where is the best place to buy head bolts, head gasket set, big end bearings and piston rings set
I'd try and get the clips, they are there for a reason, soak the stubborn injectors with wd40 they will come out, quicker than taking the lower inlet off.
Gearboxes
Turbos
Injectors
Premature failing cambelts
The problem is it's a Renault, I'm pretty sure there are 2 cables one for forward gears and one for reverse it's probably stretched
Must have been the replacement engine, wish I had got this remap before I fitted my turbo :rolleyes:

Get bidding ;-)
The ones on eBay are what ktec sell, buy off eBay or try and find a universal forge one, I fell lucky and found a second hand golf fitment forge unit on eBay and got it for £80! just had to remove 2 brackets.
Lol wakey wakey :rasp: manifold and down pipe will be getting done, il do anything to dissipate the heat generated, just thought the pistons might help.
Edit probably going to get shot down for that last comment.
This is why I asked, thought that was the whole point :S
Didn't want to go about making my block look all nice and new if it was going to get knocked around.
