You shouldn't have changed the ecu.

I've had one that was welded on lol!

Sounds like it's dropped a valve. These are a weak part of these engines. Even more so when pattern parts are used.

Hi and welcome, I'll be your nearest specialist for those jobs you don't want to do :)

Tbh it seems a bit generous for a standard engine. Has it been cammed maybe? 170lb-ft from a stock engine is very optimistic tbh.

You can't tell by looking at them.

Basically what mcg said. 14.7:1 (14.7 parts air to 1 part fuel) is what's known as the stoichometric mix (stoich), or perfect chemical burn. On cruise, (I.e 70mph in 5th) you want it to be as economic as possible, so lean it out slightly. Around 15-15.3 is acceptable. Any more than this and...

Just to drag this back up. Did a datalog on one earlier. It showed an AFR of around 22:1 and ign advance -18 through to -13 degrees.

I know that, and you know that. But Renault get funny about fitting cup shocks to a non cup vehicle.

No. Ph2's are longer.

Aye, gun it out. You've nothing to loose, as it stands the head has to come off, so if you get away without doing that then you've won.

I'll say it. Pics of girl required.

Renaults warranty terms are that it has to go into a dealership to be examined to see if it's a fitting error. Although, I have managed to get a warranty payout by agreeing to do the repair if they supplied the parts when I had an aux belt tensioner bolt fail. Just because it was such a grey...

IMO, Renault will say foxtrot oscar, as the incorrect shaft for the vehicle has been fitted.

Cups still ran 1 piece shafts. Not 2 piece that's fitted.

What Intercooler?

Which trader?

Ideal. I had heard on the grapevine they weren't available.

No. Go genuine.

Sounds like a clutch release bearing to me. Yes that's the filler hole. Looks to be the drive shaft oil seal Gear linkage Is very common to leak. You used to be able to get a repair kit but I don't think you can anymore.

The brakes need a strip down and clean per service, and grease on the rear sliders. This will take A Maximum of 2 hours if the pins are siezed on the fronts. The rest of the service would take approx 2 hours.

My money is on injectors.

As welshname said,

Tbh Bristol etc should have its own section as majority of the SW meets happen down in Devon, which even for me/Vikki is a 2hr journey each way.

Apart from the breather plate on a 182.

Timing has nothing to do with what speed it'll do in 2nd.

My betting is it's rusty along the sills

£115 from myself. That's for a check and adjust if necessary.

Probably got the wrong boss. Have a look on diagnostics at the angle it thinks it's at when the steering wheel is straight.

My money is on injectors. Do a leak off test.
