NWP... You went "there" - Oh Snap!

In truth, the position of the heater controls makes no difference on a Renault as there is no thermostatic valve as found on some Fords and Vauxhalls for example. Open the bleed point, slowly fill the reservoir until air free coolant can be seen pouring from the hole and then replace the bolt...

May be able to squeeze it in on Friday but if it needs anything, we're sunk

Pop in on Saturday, after 1pm, if you like Luke Mick

You can make your own diverter plates from some aluminium sheet. Failing that, I think CMComposites makes them to. Take the horn out, you don't need that on track

By the way @G 172 those DS1.11's worked an absolute treat at Donington on Sunday. Absolutely zero fade, no fluid boiling and both discs & pads are still in remarkable shape (minor contamination but zero scoring). One guy remarked on how his bike didn't stop as well as my little Clio did from...

Sounds like you're going beyond the limits of the pads also. I really do not rate the DS2500 for track use at all and to me, the standard Brembo pad is actually just as good except it costs a third of the price. You have brake ducts (nice) but no diverter plates (not great) but what wheels are...

Thoroughly scientific but I don't get drawn in to this battle. If you are happy then that's all that matters. I would definitely be asking for an explanation of that bill though.

Deffo, as above, a cam timing issue most likely to be the cause of this.

Most common cause for this is the CAT to Manifold seal kit blowing due to wear or bolts no longer asserting adequate pressure or a worn fire ring. Look carefully at the joint for signs of black soot like stuff at the joint.

Holy Fek, we charge an extra £120 including the pump and coolant!

Yet Android managed it without any need for an update

IIRC it's a complete assembly that you'll need and it's not cheap. Speak to Adam @ Wolverhampton Renault

No, the circuits are not "Front" and "Rear", you should have for example NSF & OSR on one circuit and OSF & NSR on the other (sending the rears via a bias valve). Your speedo will never work again I'm afraid unless you replace the gearbox and use a speedo sender.

I loved Android but recently moved back to iOS after Samsung screwed me. I do miss a few things (like a back button) and I find the lack of "share" ability between apps infuriating... I mean, come on Apple, WhatsApp is pretty well established now so why can't I share from say the native photo...

Plus an Aux kit

It's not adjustable fella but we can take a look at it and see what the body control is seeing as the sensors are known for water ingress. I'm sure I owe you a favour though

Battery in the card at a guess. If that's okay have the proximity sensors checked via CLIP

Anti-rattle springs sat correctly and not in the examination window? It's a common mistake

I hope it wasn't because of "he who can't be named"... FFS, it's like Harry Potter round here if so.

??? I enjoyed that last meet

Because when ever i've been to Scotland in Winter (I go to Aberdeen and Airdrie to see friends for Christmas and New Years) the roads are grim. Standard road tyres don't tend to work too well in temps below 4 degrees which is why a Winter compound is advised in Scotland over winter periods.

The PS3 is just brilliant on these cars in pretty much all conditions and I have yet to find a tyre for these cars that performs as well. In Scotland you may want a dedicated winter tyre though.

Check your spark plug wells aren't filled with oil or water

Parts "look" identical yet they have different part numbers... I think you've answered your own question.

It's either T50 or T55, can't remember which exactly

Are you 100% sure you're bolting the 17mm nut down fully?

Yeah, mitivac and electronic actuation of the abs solenoids should fix this.

Some local meets would be good in any capacity really as it's been pretty poor. There's also some good circuits around us, Mallory & Donington for example and there are regular track days that many of us attend. These dates could also be used as meets if they fell upon weekends (Eg. Next Sunday)

Then it's a fault with the pump control relay/circuit. Easy enough to diagnose tbh
