Fuel Correctly timed spark Compression Find out which is missing. Have you spark tested it? Are you defo getting no spark at the plug?

This is absolutely true. I do 1*2 belts on occasion, as long as you know the fundamental points/watchouts it's absolutely fine. Trouble is, one of those points is quite counter-intuitive (tensioning the belt before you tighten the cam pulley retaining nuts).

I picked up a pair of front discs for a V6 for under £150, they now live on my 21 Quadra (Would you believe a straight fit) with some yellow stuff pads and 4-pots. It stops like it hit a brick wall once the pads warm up.

OK mate, I usually lurk on turborenault.co.uk daily if you want a quicker response, stick a post in the tech forum :)

I can't answer that specifically to your car buddy, the ECU has the capability to do it but I don't know if it's wired in or if the OE ECU still controls it (running piggyback right?) I would be pretty sure the Adaptronic will control the rev limit though and thats easy enough to change through...

Do you have a laptop to plug in to the ECU and read the settings? It's probably the ECU rev limit set to 6200, it's easy to turn up the limiter if you have a laptop connected.

You need the alternator light for the alternator to charge I know that much...the exciter wire runs through it to the voltage reg.

Few from our TurboRenault photographer- full set of 154 images and the video compilation in the TR shop if you want the full lot it's only a tenner, or a quid per full res picture sent digitally. Full res is ~4 to 7mb and the first pic below as an example is 4236 x 2824. Have a browse :)...

Did you check through here? http://turborenault.co.uk/shop/ I'd recommend the full dvd :)

Actually, you should know, its quite quick... I know this because my 21 is a rapid car and he reeled me in on the straight (and he's a talentless t**t behind the wheel too :) )

Thanks :-) I've had it fifteen years, 50% longer than I've ever managed to keep a female lol I bought it out of a scrap yard :-D

Got mine too. Very swish, props to the organiser(s)!

I like this..... .....Probably because my 21 looks like it's been through the war with SkyNet and then sat in a salty bath for a few months.

Passed on the info, thanks for your help :)

Then he is a dickhead :smiley: Is there possibility to swap him over please Ron? I don't think he will arrive in time for the am session, he's coming from Croydon, South London.

Confirmed, he says he booked Afternoon, I defo told him to book afternoon, so he should be on Afternoon. ....and if he's not on afternoon session how am I supposed to hand him his arse in his poxy 2wd R21 :D LOL

I find em pretty resilient. Mine gets brutalised every time I turn the key, it's there for exactly that reason, and if it wasn't reliable i'd not keep it. I've broken a gearbox on track and replaced a lot of stuff because it was old and needed doing (it's done 147k) but it's a track veteran...

@Sunglasses_Ron i'm pretty sure Lee Atkins from TurboRenault is supposed to be on the afternoon session bud, can you switch him over? I'll check with him now.

All the TurboRenault crew are going for the afternoon sesh. We suck at getting up early, you see :D

Fantastic, thanks chaps! Can't wait :D

@Sunglasses_Ron can you just confirm you have 3 afternoon slots from me now please? For: Dave Sibley Karl Herrod Fraser Weightman Ta muchly!

It's a bit of a weapon of an Evo, but I told him we have to put fake Renault badges on it or he isnt allowed on track :D

Cheers! I'll get him booked in :)

How are you doing for numbers? I have a mate interested in attending and with a bit of track time, but he is an Evo guy more than a Renault Sport guy. Would this be frowned on, or is it "the more the merrier"? @Sunglasses_Ron your thoughts? Cheers!

As everyone else has said, get a specialist to do the work unless you are very confident yourself. They're funny, quirky things sometimes. Even as a 20-year veteran sufferer of a Renault habit, and doing all my own work on various sheds (9 Turbo, 21 Quadra, ClioSport etc) I still tripped over...

Do what you want to do. If you invest in one and maintain it, it'll reward you. I bought my 172 in Oct 2011 with 129k on the clock and a failed PS pump. I changed the pump, and while I was there I did a full belt & dephaser service. I also changed the rear shocks because one was goosed. I...

Sadly I sold this last year after a decade of ownership (pic taken @ Blyton actually), 21 Turbo powered on slicks, caged, 820kg. But I will be in this: If it rains i'll be laughing!

Edit: Clio vs Clio vs Clio vs Clio (x10) vs R5GTT vs R21 Turbo vs R21 Quadra vs Megane R26 :) Checking in from TR too, i'll be in the white Renault 21 Quadra putting the Megane in it's place ;) Indeed, gives me time to use some of the Turbo torque to reign in you rollerskate driving Clio boys...

The clutch, if it's like every other Renault with that style box, will likely be held on with six 6mm allen headed bolts....easy to get off. Take care though, to- -Get the release bearing back on the clutch fork right before you reassemble -note which way the friction plate offset goes when you...

Camshaft seal. So yes it matters, oil could get out or dirt could get in. You dont need to remove the rocker cover, the centre of the metal part of the core plug is missing, so just poke something through the soft rubber in the middle and pop it out. Don't go all axe murderer on it or...
