Is the car due an cambelt or aux belt chnage?

Its used for the head unit to adjust the volume (if its acticvated etc) on the stereo ie the car goes faster the stereo get loader. On the back of the dabboard there a few connectors the black wire on the black connector block is the speedo signal.

Best do a search I'd think its been covered before. I think ChrisK on retro Renault is the man to ask though. Nick hill I think sells an induction kit for the Mk1 which fits where the washer bottle is and has a remote washer just like the race cars its the most efficinet I belive but not...

Thats good practice. Then again some dealership stuff is very good realy for the price its fit for the purpose they need.

Yes but don't IMo get a Renault ofical or nothing there some realy usless aftermarket bits out there be safe and spend the extra few quid on a part designed and tested fit for purpose IMO.

It does't have the Cup suspenion though the cup is the later car the R27 has the R27 suspension setup

Motul is great oil not cheap but very good.

If you think its been covered before why not search? Engine mounts are simple use the 1.1 night and day from memory wiring simple as its all simple electrics plus using a Mk1 you have the advantage of the cars wiring being simple. GDi did the transplant on Bruns car a few years back maybe...

Near enough 200hp with cams, intake manifold rewrking remap etc. There a load of choice of cams though. Cams choice is down to prefercne and often who is fitting them as GDI use one type of cam yozzasport use another etc

Yep doens't matter to much its like the TDC sensor there tones of names for it.

All front end panels changed Matt likes to wind people up.

Grease it up I meant. Chnagine the clutch ins't to bad a job 1 hour tops more likly 40 mis or so. Use only a proper renault clutch cable if yor going to replace it there only cheap £15 or so.

259 mm always check but its only early phase 2 which randomly and usualy on lower spec 1.2 8V have the 239mm disks.

Dogbone mount sounds like its worn

You can brand spaners for £13k so asking £500 less for a user car? Ok so you have a few other bits but that means not much. Sounds quite reasonable buy somehting with a big profit margin and they'll give you more. Its all down to what else your buying etc.

Check the engine mount could be the clutch cbale though also more likly try geare it up a bit.

What should be done and what people do are very different. I just cannot see the point but hey each to there own.

If you've done the 1.6 the 172 not much different. Its not bad practice the 72k/5 year rules were to lax IMO.

Shake the shafts see if there any play in the up and down and forward and aft also check the gaiters arn't leaking. Engine want to be pulled forward as such. Yep that won't be helping why are you saving a few quid using the whole springs on the car and not using coilovers or the standard...

I forget how that sensor works wheather its unpluged and things its hot or cold but regardless if the fan works when you disconnect it and the temp gauage in the car sworking there no issues the fan doens't always have to come on only if its hot.

Same mounts as the 172. What would be the point though?

1 aux belt. £12 I snapped cambelt along with valves Well cambelt alone £350 for fitment then a few valves head off so new head gasget etc. Easy to get over a £1k bill.

Check the top mount isn't catching under the bonnet also check the PAS rack and pump.

The cams DON'T change at 5k its a 1.6 to 6.5k activation the VVT lark the 5k kick is due to the cams becomming more efficient. The cams DON'T chanage at 5k its a 1.6 to 6.5k activation the VVT lark the 5k kick is due to the cams becomming more efficient.

There just cam coveres realy depend what people call them there just to cover the cam ends.

Yep springs at the back. I woulnd't recomend any spring if you do just want springs then Eisback or however you spell it.

Check the switch its on the brake pedal check it on tight. A new ones only cheap from memory.

They should always be replaced its the rules for them. whats the point trying to save a few quid.

You don't get much for the money. It is a cheap new race car though.

Its expensive to chnage and good for 150k officaily.
