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...
Found this link on williamsclio and thought I'd share http://www.motinfo.gov.uk/internet/jsp/ECHID-Internet-History-Request.jsp
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:

Right it's long overdue because of general laziness & seive like memory :rolleyes:but it's about time I get this project thread up & running.
As you all know I was involved in a bit of a nasty smash on 5th Nov 08 :cry: and my valver got a busted rear quarter, B-pillar & creased roof :evil: only...
I've got an engineer coming to inspect it on monday, anyone had experience with this, anything I need to know or advice to give when dealing with the guy?
I'm in need of somewhere to store my dead valver :cry:
What I'm after is a garage/lockup where I can keep my valver for a couple of weeks so I can strip it & keep the big bits there til they're sold.
So does anyone have, or know someone who has a space I can use to sort my car? Preferably...
Got to be really, the B-pillar is twisted like a mutha fcuker - doubt you can repair or replace them :S would need a new door and a complete rear quarter panel, then painting. Would cost well over £1k for that to be done and it's only insured for £2k
Yes it is Fred, took those pics the day...
From the original thread:
Well I have the overwhelming urge to cry my F***IN eyes out my valver is in a bit of a bad state
I was going to see d_diddy to sort some parts out after I finished work. Coming off the A52 to get onto the M1 @ j25, going down the slip road and slowing down for the...

I will be breaking the car so if anyone wants anything PM me :(

Getting it all sorted through angel assistance :approve: & I'll be breaking it for parts
Just really sore today :( I do security work full time & some part time door work, my head & neck hurt quite a bit, can't move my arm very well...

W reg with a big oval magnex zorst, seen this in the D95 car park at work today, I usually do nights so never seen it around before :S
Anyone from here??
:mad: the cheeky, soap dodgin, work shy, cheese eating surrender monkeys:mad:
The french are always on strike :rolleyes::mad: and I bet they're only on strike because someone wants them to do more than 35 hours a week
That's sort of correct, but I wouldn't use a box from anything less than a williams, your 172 would kill it pretty quick:S
You need a JC5 gearbox, as that's what your ph1 has, there are a lot of variations of the JC5 all with different ratios, fitted to various renault cars, have a look at this...
I think it's another case of "curse of the french engineering" :rasp:
seriously tho, we think it was caused by a blocked breather pipe, said he was doin 140mph when the stink of burning gearbox oil got really bad :rolleyes: he thought he'd killed it:S
Thanks for those 2 mossy, sounds the...
:lolup::lolup: he might just let you,he fell out with it at the weekend when it had a paddy and spat gearbox oil everywhere while having fun with an evo 8 :rofl:
I'm not sure but I think he's getting that done as well. No expense spared for him either :S Renault quoted him £2k for the...
Asking on behalf of my mate who needs his vee servicing & cam belt changed :eek:
Can anyone give some recommendations as to where in the midlands he could get it done??
He's considering just biting the bullet and going to renault to get it done :eek: but I've told him to avoid renault in...
