I should have just taken all the pics together to save multiple posts :blush:
Pic of new HU, good thing is you can choose whichever colour so I could keep it looking OEM, excuse the McDonald's coke.
I've been toying with the idea of getting an anthracite sticker to go where people put the usual "Renault F1 Team" ones. Possibly just a simple "Renault Sport" sticker, might order a few and see, only £1.99 per sticker off eBay.
What exactly did you win? Pretty jelly if I am honest lol I <3 AF...
Looking schweeet pal! Also not a fan of the grille stickers, feel like they clash with the car colour scheme but at the end of the day it's your motor! Well done on winning the AF share n shine!
Quick update on my project thread!
All belts were changed a few weeks ago by the lads at SC Autos, top service and now the engine runs very quiet again as the dephaser was one on the way out! Today I sorted out some little niggles including a horrible boot rattle, fog lights coming on when I...

Feel free to make me offers via PM and not directly through eBay
They are definitely nothing special performance wise, more of a "warm hatch" The 1.6 TDCi can be remapped to keep up with the ST which is pretty poor! Lovely looking cars though, good option for young folk looking at having a sporty feel car.
Best colour! Spray plastics from grey to black, gloss black alloys, RS splitter, detango and you're off to a good start :tongueout: Always thought these really suit bonnet vents too! This was always one of my favourite examples:
Don't forget, if they "sort" the car out it will need all of the parts you need fitting AND the timing belt doing as you said there is no evidence of this, can you trust this "specialist" to do a proper job? It's not a name we would recommend on here for belts that's for sure. I would just ask...
Just make sure you stick to this pal, don't let them bully you into thinking you have to comply with their suggestions. As many people have said, you are within your rights for a full refund!
Yea sounds like a complete money pit! How is the refund going? No doubt the dealer will try to offer you a "deal" to get rid of the car, just take your money back and walk away. Good luck!
I echo what has been said above but just out of interest did you inspect the car before buying? Did you test drive etc? Not that it will change you being able to get your money back, just wondering how all the faults were missed lol
Hi all, just thought I would update this thread. I found some time today to jack her up and take a look at all of the suspension components. Everything was solid and clean, apart from the inner CV joint which seems to have sprayed out some grease (which I will get around to inspecting next...
The system can actually be pretty tame in the right gears keeping rpm low, it can get droney on the motorway but still very tolerable at about 65mph in fifth. And when you do give it some it's quite a deep tone, really nice!

Without sounding patronizing, it depends on if you want to run a decat or not... Unless you find a "friendly" mot tester you are definitely going to need to buy a cat at some point and if you don't swap it back with the decat afterwards then you've just spend money unnecessarily. As far as the...
haha yup all my belts have just been changed unfortunately... I'll just wait until it dies on me I think! Think I'll get my dad to do this job, he wouldn't touch the belts due to the correct tools etc but he's a retired mech so I'm sure he'll manage...
Thanks alot
Yea that's what I could do with knowing really, I don't mind it too much but if it's on it's way out I would rather get it sorted now before it completely fails on me lol!
Thanks for the input everyone
