Here's some pics I took of the repair work this morning
The only downside is it's gonna cost an extra £100 as the roof had to be re-done :( the repair to the top of the B-pillar caused the roof to move a bit & cracked the paint
Just had a phone call from the lovely people at Helphire :D
My cheque is in the post right now and the 307 of fail goes next friday, which means.................

I'm in exactly the same boat as you mate :cry:
Mine got mullered on bonfire night :mad: just waiting for the clowns to pay out so I can get it fixed, I miss it like mad so in the meantime I'm abusing the shitbox 307 diseasel courtesy car
Where have people got these from?
I want to get some for my old man for crimbo to go on his astra, but I cant find any :mad:
Have they got some other name that I don't know about? :S Google is not my friend atm :(
I hate that its just like a good woman, annoying & expensive :dapprove: but by christ is it fun to rag the pants off it :rasp:
I love it :D and sometimes fcuking hate it :mad:
You'll need a new head gasket, new head bolts & a cam belt, big(ish) job but not too difficult to tackle yourself and afaik the ecu should be a straight swap
Unlucky :dapprove:
My m8 done something similar last week to his Vee :nono: scraped a shedload of fresh paint off the bottom of the bumper
:lolup: Oh how I laughed - 2 mins after picking it up from a respray as well - UBER FAIL!
I was going to say it but MarkOne beat me to it & covered it all :rolleyes: lol
Keep at it m8, looks in ok nick from the pics, but I know they can't show it all :) mine was a bit of a nail when I bought it as well :o
I've got a ph2 rear wiper arm & motor if you need it ;) unless you want to...
He's getting it all done, just got it back from being re-sprayed that cost him £1k :eek: and he'll be happy that it's all perfect after the service so fair play to him really :approve:
Besides I cant wait for him to come back down to earth & being skint like me & our other housemate :rasp...
That quote was from renault in Nottingham (clowns tbh :nono:)
It's going to Ezra Sugden Renault in Worksop, came highly recommended from ppl on here after the usual suspects :p
I don't know how much this place is charging but I think he's having discs & pads all round done as well
Latest Update
Got the car to the garage to get the brakes checked, turns out that all the crap from the other lads car I ran over had somehow knocked loose the goodridge hose at the back & was leaking a tiny bit of fluid, hence the sponginess
So my mechanic nipped them tight again, then...
The valver and williams wings are exactly the same
If you're going for the widetrack you need the willy wishbones, ARB and driveshafts as well as the right shocks
You can fit the valver coilies to the widetrack, but it fcuks the camber up, best off with the williams ones
Have a look on...
If you do need a new antennae cable, it comes as part of the kit from renault, new ariel, new base with rubber seal and the long grey cable - I got all that for £12 :D
Sounds like you've made some good progress though :approve: keep up the good work & get some pics up
Find your nearest car electronics or similar car audio place (not halfrauds:nono:)
They will be able to sort you out pretty quickly ;) they'll just need to know the make & model of your car and the head unit
Try replacing the ariel 1st ;) is it a ph1 or 2?
Mine leaked loads, turns out it was the seal on the base of the ariel was fcuked. £12 from renault ;)
If yours is a ph1 with the square ariel base then it probably is the sunroof thats leaking
If your blower is deffo knackered I've got a...

Seems as though it could be very useful for anyone buying a car, to be able to check the MOT history. It says what (if any) advisory notices were given and failure...
Well I got on with stripping the engine last night :D Pics to follow soon
Unfortunately a lack of a T55 bit stopped the fun just short of taking the head off :dapprove:
