I was being sort of serious. Had a problem at christmas. The crank pulley fell in half at the damper. Such a pity as it was a good engine (just run in at 120k). It had been serviced and not neglected like i teased you guys. It was due a belt change which i had booked ( oh the irony ). The crank...

I was heading East in my Sunflower. You were heading west in yours. Reg was EAY or UAY not sure. Was about 7.30 i think. Nearly turned around and chased after you...

Ok so if so many dephasers are failing there must be a pattern. Is it a lack of oil changes ? Manufacturing or design fault ? I am quite guilty of not sticking to service intervals. Take the approach of fix it when it breaks ;) As stated never had the dephaser changed and never used a...

Looks ok to me. Why would the dephaser need changing at less than 30k ? May be im just lucky but my 172 has seen 120K and no sign of the dephaser going. Is there some envy going on here. What is your 182 worth now you can get one <30k for this money ??? belts done or not..

clutch was fine on mine at 110k but the crb collapsed..

its a bag of shite mate hahahahahah but then it has done 130K .....

be careful of the air con. that stuff is dangerous to breathe in and should really be removed professionally. unfortunately my hand slipped when i did mine and it leaked out ;) !

i have had the motor out twice now. once for a clutch \ belt change and once to fit a new motor. not a difficult job. just take your time and remember there are no short cuts. you have pretty much covered it all. if a belt change is also needed then get it done at the same time. can be a bit...

if you pull out the motor and gearbox its a doddle to get to !

Do you think it has DRS ????

Fit blade in one end with a sperical bearing mount. Blade can then be adjusted to increase \ decrease stiffness..

Have been thinking about this myself. I have a blade from a single seater. Anyone fancy an in car adjustable ARB ?

At the RWS last year there was a race prepared V6 in Sunflower. Was on the renault historic stand.

Changing rear discs today on my 2001 Sunflower. The nearside went as expected with no problems. The offside i remove and the wheel bearing falls out ! After checking and calling Dan at 519 ( always helpful ) i find the spacer between the hub and bearing inner face is missing ! I have owned he...

checked oil level and it hasnt moved. started car and lo and behold error cleared. french electrics meet British weather ????

Dropped the sunflower in for mot yesterday ( failed on rear discs ) and when i picked it up the oil level display flashed at me with no level and the 'SERV' light is on constantly. Any ideas ?

No ramp for me. I can see your point. Bloody useless design.

just looked at that link and see the difference between the phase 1 and the later models ! anyone having problems with theirs should look at phase 1 owners and give them so sympathy. mine managed to seal perfectly so leave it for the moment with a view to add the missing washers at a later...

one steel and one fibre that looks to profile the inside of the cap... i didnt fit them just noticed the steel washers have a bite taken out of them...

i fitted it and all sealing. didnt fit the extra pieces. it was a git to fit as it was. cant hold them on and get the nut on. who would buy french cars !!!
