Your old box would've had a speedo drive, so guessing it's y/51/02 plate. So you need to find a box with a speedo drive.

Yup £350 fitted from myself with a valeo clutch.

I'll PM you.

Pump usually

Yes but you don't have to fiddle about trying to align it.

This is why you don't undo the linkage there, but undo it on the box inside the boot.

I had one in with the r3 manifold and its destroyed a piston on the stock map

I don't replace just the joint no. Too risky to warranty IMO. I only use Renault parts, so for my price you get a full hub. Where are you based?

Lol, majorly over priced. Last one I did was £250 all in.

I don't think james is even in the motor trade anymore.

Indeed, just goes to show you can never underestimate the amount of importance having a map check after any changes.

I had one in today with an R3 manifold, pistons are dead in it. Has done a week of driving unmapped for the manifold and today it was down to 165-170psi compression. Bore scoped it and saw a knackered piston 😧 Excuse the crap picture.

Cup setup

Renault revised the sensor due to the issues and changed the plug, they changed the metals in the contacts iirc.

The misfire and hiccup you're feeling is also quite often needing crank sensor/new loom

Yup, they usually go under the battery tray.

Aux belt will only go 1 way. There is a spacer behind both idlers.

They welded the cat to the manifold?!

Won't be the headgasket.

Sounds like a potential coolant sensor issue.

Christ, I've never known them that expensive. If you buy both parts maybe, but there's no need to. The unit itself retails around the £200 mark. And is about 2 hours to change.

If it's for a 197 then pretty much all of the above is incorrect. The joint is part of the hub, you can get after market ones, but by the time you've faffed about setting the press up to support the hub you'll have spent that in labour. Buy the complete hub and you have warranty from Renault...

But then again a £100k rolling road/premises/electricity doesn't pay for itself. You're also paying for the knowledge it's done correctly and right. The reason us specialists charge more than your back street garage is because you're paying for our knowledge of the vehicles, not some mechanic...

It's not the plug that's different, it's the connections inside, so unless it's a blue plug then it's still incorrect.

All the same aslong as it's an air con model.

172 ones do

They aren't crimps. They're heat shrink joiners

So small update, Did a bit of wiring, and this was the result: Doesn't sound too bad for an engine that hasn't turned a degree for 3 years. Nice To hear it crank and see that it's registering crank signal. DCI 100 pedal box Blower ordered from clioturbo, GT3071r with a 4" inlet.

I bet the aux belt has gone into the cambelt and jumped it at the crank. Big bill now.

I'm already spotting that's been in an accident.
