Hahaha I wouldn't say mental, i would say passionate about driving lol. That's 3.5 hours one way as well! I have been all over the country just for a drive or something to do. Driving makes me happy especially when on a great road.

I agree with you, I am trying to decide the best way to replace my power steering pump as in with Euro's or a refurb etc. I have also just ordered the Autoglym Headlight Restoration Kit, normally I would go with 3M stuff, but thought I would give it a try. I also ordered some Gtechniq C4, some...

Is it difficult to convert to EPAS? Not something I have looked into really.

Yer I have seen a couple, but not sure if they are trust worthy etc. Anyone used a refurb company before? Yer I looked on Euro's and doesn't give much info. Brand of part is after market and its £200+ would only spend that sort of money on a genuine new one really. GSF didn't list anything on...

I was supposed to be working today but ended up spending the whole afternoon going through this lol. Glad to see you have stuck with it long projects can become disheartening. Good luck for 2017.

I think you should go back to blue and sell me the black induction kit haha

I need a new power steering pump, i spoke to Renault Parts Direct and unfortunately the part is no longer available. Anyone know where I can get one from? I don't really fancy some Chinese crap from eBay and Euro's is a bit vague. Only other option would be to get one rebuilt.

Only VXR i would buy especially in that colour. I went to one of those VXR Power Events at Thruxton and drove the Insignia, Astra, Corsa VXR and a Corsa Nur. Last year i also did 3000 miles in an Astra J VXR when i went to Worthersee. The Astra left me feeling cold really, it was fast and...

They are four stud yer and 4x100 the center bore is a bit bigger so will need spigot rings. Not to bad really for 16inch 7J its about £560. Think i will get my power steering pump changed first as its whining away and Andy mentioned it had some play it in.

Looking at these wheels, what do you guys think? Slightly different from Turinis.

Because there was a problem with the plug IIRC Renault released an updated one to cure the issue just have to solder two wires. Just had it done on mine.

Yer the pipe could be sprayed you would just need to key up the surface then use some etch primer and give it a paint.

The exhaust was made by the previous owner and is poor on the alignment it rattles against the heat shields at times. I will be replacing for a PMS system :) I was a bit disappointed when i saw the bulbs because they were a little orange still but like OssPoop says it's still a big improvement.

I think you can buy new genuine injectors for like £30 each anyways and easy to swap over.

Thanks Steve yer it is a big weight lifted, still a long way to go. I can't help browsing the net and buying things lol. Think i will get the wheels first then do exhaust and suspension.

Yer, but i'm lazy. Sell me yours ha

White car is MK1 Golf?

Yer i would say the same, might be worth checking the plugs and leads as well. Could even be the coil pack.

Hmm the blue is a bit too standout for me would prefer the black one, gonna have to order a new one now lol. Your costing me money hahahaha

You beat me too it i was just messaging the guy about that induction kit haha because i want one for mine!

Hmm yer i bet he is, the problem is this so called specialist he used seemed to just bodge things not sure if it was cause he had no money or they couldn't be bothered either way slowing getting a group of companies i can trust! Whats next for you? I'm interested in one of those badges but its...

Good work being done here, I just had the belts all done on mine as well. Had to replace the crank sensor but feels like a different car now!

Ha ha i knew someone would say that, they are pretty bad. Might do that at the weekend if the weather is decent.

I ordered some new bulbs and got them delivered to my work, so just ran out and fitted them. Can't decide if i should get wheels, exhaust or suspension next. Before After And i have some rear fogs again :)

These ones do alright or am i looking at the wrong ones? http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/xtec-501-w5w-cree-canbus-led-diffuser-lens-white-2-bulbs/ http://www.hids-direct.co.uk/501-w5w-5w-cree-canbus-led-extremely-bright-sidelight-bulbs/

Ermm i think the sensor was around £70ish i will have to check the invoice, i was told a little trick to check if there is a problem with the sensor. If you just wiggle the wires and it cuts out then you know that's a problem. If you do get one at some point make sure you get one with the newer...

Thanks, ticking along nicely now. This morning i set about sorting my xenon bulbs, it was very annoying that only one was working! On the advice of @Dr Jekyll i purchased some D2S 5000k from hids direct. Also fitted new Bosch wipers all round. The new bulbs look really good, will go for a drive...

Just read through this all, some great work. You should be proud. I don't have the time or patience or space in fact to be doing all this!

Yer i bought this car and took it to a specialist and it was the crank sensor. Simple fix and relatively cheap.

Just for future reference if anyone searches for this in the future the problem was the crankshaft sensor. As a test if you wiggle the wires to the plug and it cuts out then you know that's the problem. Fitted a new one and all good now.
