thats the biggest pile of sh*t i have read all morning! the oil temp sender is located just to the left of the oil filter as you look at it it will be a green plug that plugs into a white one, it just undos with a socket or a spanner (quite a big one but cant remember how big) the sender you are...
just take the arch liners out to do it you will need bonnet, bumper, wings headlights, indicators and hey presto! alternatively you can just change the bonnet and headlights and inidcators
yeah piece of piss to change valves you may as well so the stem seals whilst its in bits make sure you get new tensioners for the cambelt too, also id change the water pump whilst your there as they often pack up around cambelt time

u sure mate?
110% mate ive just rebuilt my own valver engine (same to look at) so everything is fresh in the mind!
and 5 hours is taking the piss!
you dont need to take the head off to fit cams mate! you just need to take off the rocker cover and cam cover so your half talking sh*t lol! but yes get them both done at once mate to save you paying twice!
an rt rad is superior to a valver rad cos its bigger! thus more cooling area! that va;ver rad si smaller cos there is no room for it to be any bigger! so id stick to the standrad rad if i was you ;)
why people lower the tits off of cars i will never know! the valver handles more than adequate on std height! lower doesnt always mean better! im gonna be going for uprated poundage springs on std height as against decking it which can also f**k up the handling if its not done right or even if...
throttle positioning sensor, its the red thing on the throttle body, if you do take it off and clean it make sure it goes back on EXACTLY as it came off or it will need setting up on a renault diagnostic mate which wont be cheap, it is easy to do though
i have a crank out of a f7p if thats any good to you mate? it is from my siezed engine though but you can have it for f**k all if you come and remove it (the block is just sat on the drive with no sump on already)
based in sheffield btw

if you understand how braking works (ie friction) you will realise mate that unfortunately a pad that stops = a pad that creates dust, yes there are low dust pads out there but tbh not a lot of them work very well that are low dust
