Strut braces should be welded in or next best thing PM kit. The clue is in the name 'strut brace' - 3 self tappers dont brace - they flex. Save weight and chuck it in the bin. The rear is even worse. The aftermarket struts all bolt on the struts which are rubber mounted. Enough said... Bin...

Mine came from Renault. It isnt cheap for wht it is. About £30 ! BUt it works. I fitted mine while the box was out, thought it was a good investment. No leak. Instructions are in french but if you find the manuf website i think there are some frenglish translations....

Its a bit more sparkly now...

That was me mate. Was just picking up some body panels to replace the front bumper... Black wheel going silver this week !

When i said swap i didnt mean directly. I meant selling on the phase 1 and getting a trophy. Are the trophy as engaging as a phase 1 ? I like the rawness of my sunflower.

think i may keep it as lot of sentimental value. buy a matching trophy :)

whats that about the crank pulley ??????????????? my phase 1 was making a noise when turning the steering. a sort of low rumbling noise on full lock. thought it was the pas. 2 weeks later the motor went bang...cambelt still in place .. i pulled the motor out and cut the cambelt off and the...

Thinking of swapping out my phase 1 sunflower for a 182 Trophy . Are they that much better ?

mine did this when it popped out. fortunately i had the bumper off at the time. sprung it open with a screwdriver

mine has been like that for 3 years !!

Does the 182 cup have the full aux tensioner ?

mine accidentally came apart.....i must be more careful ;)

just take you time lifting it out mate. take it out with the box on. lift it with the box hanging down at an angle and put it back in the same. watch the pulleys on the inner wing they get very close. i have done 2 now. it is quite straightforward. just take your time.

they quoted me £250 for my phase 1 . i smelt a rat and told them to forget it....

i ripped the motor out with the box on it. did the belts at the same time for the price of a beer :)

they always use relined clutches. absolute shite.. it needs to come out and a valeo putting in

jealousy is a terrible trait in a person.....:)

what clutch did they fit ? they did a super low price quote for me but insisted on using a relined clutch. utter shiteness... hope they used a valeo..trouble free

i used angle grinder to cut the disc off. then heat and got them out of the hub with molegrips

b**ch to fit on a 172....

worked a treat. cheers.....

Looked down tonight and i was doing 160 mph ! The needle when stationery is at 100mph and wont drop below. On the move the needle goes all the way round. Stops at the 6 oclock position..... Any ideas ? New speedo ?

I had a leak on the selector as most renaults do. I fitted the seal kit that can be fitted without stripping the box. Worked well. No more leak :) Bought it from renault dealer.... Its a bit fiddly but goes in with gearbox in situe.

did i see you last week heading towards stanion from corby ? I was in my sunflower phase 1

big horsepower ???

Mine were also missing. £8 from Renault i believe... Think mine was a Friday car !

that is precisely what happened to my phase 1. just stopped with all belts in place. checked compression and all cylinders had gone. i replaced it with another engine from a phase 1 . really pleased with it and by doing it myself worked out good financially. i did find my problem but i think it...

Sorry mate but that needs a proper looking at before you do any further damage. Doesnt sound like the dephaser normally does when it goes. What checks have you made ? Take the plugs out and see what they look like. Check around the belt area.

looks just like my bottom pulley did when it fell apart and destroyed the engine !!!!!!
