First thing I would do is fiddle with head unit settings and gains on the amps, and make sure there's no mistakes in how it's wired or setup. How does it sound with the sub off? I only have a basic Alpine head unit with even more basic aftermarket speakers and it sounds dreadful, mainly from...

Is there any key places where the gas usually leaks? Mine went from working well to the compressor not even clicking on the next time I tries to use it, so I'm assuming there's a major leak.

They might get suspicious if your is less than 15 odd years old and stinks, dunno if they would pull you over for just that though.

Exactly right. It's having a car that exceeds the legal emissions that's illegal, not if you have a cat or not.

Only thing that ever solved my knocking, best £25 ever.

Is there a big difference between the way a Mk1 handles to a Mk2? I went from Mk1 Clio 16v to a Ph1 172 and while straight line speed was better, it didn't feel massively faster when cornering, just a bit heavier.

Wisest words spoken. Pattern cables suck, especially clutch cables.

The standard stereo in my old Laguna used to get too hot to touch when you ran the Sat Nav, didn't cause a problem but I have never had another stereo do it though.

If you are simply driving to your house and back, they have a lot of cheek to complain imo. The single exhaust comment is brilliant!

Never mind, just found out onlineautomotive have started stocking them :cool:

Guessing it's the pattern part places like Kwik Fit use? Has anyone fitted one, how closely does it match the genuine one? Slightly concerned as it says it fits both Ph1 and 2 but very cheap which I could really do with right now :approve...

Having some trouble getting hold of a Ph1 Standard Mid Section, currently have the shorter Ph2 mid section bodged with an aftermarket backbox and its not the most ideal situation - it hits the subframe on acceleration as if my engine mounts have gone! Does anyone have a picture of the longer...

Haha, I remember yours from the RR day that your pic is from, I was in the standard Valver

Me!

I have that lead for my Ph1 - its a clone of a genuine ELM so getting software to work with it is a pain, but it does work to an extent.

As my student loan has run out and the British Gas bill is due I am selling a few bits off on eBay - check my other items out if you like any PS1 games! As for Valver bits... Genuine Renault reprint of a couple of Clio 16V reviews, good read. Debadged rear boot strip from a Phase 1 Valver...

It was blue, looked fairly standard

Spotted in the LRC car park right now, anyone on here?

White 200 = <3

I have always had trouble like this when changing coolant, DrRollo has the right idea though, make sure that thermostat opens up!

How do you mean short out the headunit? I had problems with mine when the ign and power cables were the wrong way round, it kept forgetting the memory when the ignition was turned off until they were swapped.

PM'd, I have a brand new round ended one for sale, genuine Renault part for less than that one.

Havn't seen this posted - just pure dangerous driving, no idea exactly what good could have ever come from it.

Just been under the car and you all are right,

They said "The dimensions of the mount are the same, they introduced the twisted mount in 2003 due to bush failing in the earlier variety, thats why the large bush is solid with no air gap around it, it reduces engine movement... i 100% can confirm the mount will fit and is an improved version...

I mean the genuine Renault mount, not Powerflexed

As title really, I was under the impression that the twisted Ph2 dogbone mount would not fit a Phase 1, but I have just been told by a respected seller on here that accidentally sent me a Ph2 mount that it will "100% fit" anyway. Am I being stupid?

He will hate you for putting the GPS box in his car - however the price difference is huge. Get him a lower insurance group car? I had to make do with a 1.2 when I was 17/18 and it saved a hell of a lot

Her apology is enough.

Thanks, so nothing is missing with it then? Just seemed an odd shape.
