Hello there, yeah i dont think it was a good idea to introduce yourself as a Renault tech man lol
Yes there are quite a few MK1 V6s and MK2 V6s owners on here, also loads and loads of 172owners and a good few hand fulls of 16v/williams owners too.
Would did you think of the Mk1 V6 when it...
YES Renualt made a load of Vans with 172 kit on it, i remember reading it when they first came out.
So the chances are Jilly they havent done anything to it, it was done at the factory.
Yeah likewise always on the A24 near horsham and worthing, although not always in the clio as its resting for the winter, if you see a silver mk3 astra hurteling towards you move over lol
timmy you sure it was a willy at buck barn? as mine and benrs look fairly similar........
Ps i dont...
But you enjoyed a traffic light grand prix at buck barn hehe
Hows the golf head coming on mate?.....gotta get the golf sorted soon as the old dear is doing her nut with it on her patio leaking oil...lol
Got exams at the moment, but wanna get it up and running by the summer!
To be honest if its been ragged its not a major problem as the f7p engine is designed for high reving action. However just check everything about the car such as any play in the gearbox, steering and rust round the arches. Also the cambelt will need doing immediatly so make sure it has been done...

not really into the madera drive thing to be honest, not my cup of tea lol
however went through there one night on the way to the cinema, and a bmw raced me up the strip, he nearly took me out near the end cos i beat him, the girlfriend certainly wasnt amused.
King stromba - replacing the steering colume when there is play in the steering is not a waste of money. Welding it is just a cheap temporary method which will not last as black 16v says and is certainly not safe. This is your steering werere talking about here, get it wrong and bye bye.
Yes unfortunatley thats the steering colume. common problem on 16vs/williams.
Part costs about 120/130pounds from Renualt. Dont use any other brand as it will break quicker. And about 2-3hrs labour.
Get it done as soon as you can, as the colume will get worse and the risk of you loosing...
