I've got to order a new Skoda splitter though... bank balance will be wounded lol

Decided to get a wriggle on with the front bumper project today... It's currently cooking nicely over night now after being hit with Pearl Black and I cannot wait to fit it tomorrow.

Those wheels offend my eyes Dan... burn them! LoL

Re: Fucked aux belt/pully? Tug on the belt whilst observing the tensioner

Could be the bottom end. Stop guessing and get out there

Re: Fucked aux belt/pully? If the tensioner is functioning (pivot point is moving and no damage to the idler bearing) then I'd just re-belt it

He's right - Deffo weigh those in/sell them at your local McDonalds

Vikki... standard ph2 alloys now with some Cooksports or Prolines and it'll be perfect gal. Welcome to PB ownership, cleaning it will be a regular thing

As above, you can order a new "blade" from Renault and it'll come pre-cut to your vin

Re: Fucked aux belt/pully? Then its more likely the marks on the belt are due to foreign object damage. At the very least I'd do a new belt and make sure the tensioner/idler function

Have you checked all the plugs are in properly yet? Is the tapping noises frequency static or rotational? Mick

Re: Fucked aux belt/pully? Okay so firstly then you need to jump up and go look ay your setup to see if the spring is fouling the belt run. If so take it back to where ever the belt setup was fitted and claim under the 12 months parts and labour warranty it legally comes with. The only...

There's no real right or wrong answer to this really. I have an RS2'd 172 running cams and a PMS silenced 2.5" exhaust and its perfect for me but if you ask Fred what his static noise levels are for the system you specifically want are I'm sure he'll help you out. If its pure lack of noise...

Either Renparts for a new, uncrashed unit or send it away to somewhere that can remove the crash context data.

Correct, when a "deployment" has occurred it stores crash context related data and the module itself is un-useable. This data can be removed by someone with the correct software and equipment but it will not allow you to clear any data despite you replacing the blown bag units. Mick

What others call "diagnostics" I call "conformity testing" as most places just like to code read where as I actually check all the circuits and systems are working and of not I delve in from there. Date wise I'm booked solid I'm afraid until week commencing the 17th (I've got an unconfirmed job...

If its a UCH replacement its around £350 but to take a look would be around £45

As Fred said earlier, if there's any movement in the dephaser assembly your timing is going to be wrong anyway. Just make sure you get the crank pin in the correct hole or this happens:

It'll be more than 1mm I promise but yes, it'll be the cause of said clattering

Me? LoLz

I'd take it somewhere to get it correctly diagnosed as a UCH fault before doing that... this is why I have a UCH with security disabled as a test unit.

Hazards circuit should work without the key in the ignition. Did you conside4 the fault may be due to a fuse or something like a faulty switch? A common problem is the hazzard switch gets disconnected when people force aftermarket headunits in.

It'll either move loads or a few degrees but either way, movement = done! Don't damage the locating notches in the cams though or else you'll never time them up again (like below):

You won't move it by hand mate you'll need something in the notches really.

I've got an extra long 21mm and 22mm for this very reason... not that it helps you though lolz. Mole grips tight on the inner tie bar will help you to

Epic cars and torque... christ I miss the old F7R's

Yeah that'll be 10mm and 12mm... you need the 12mm OD I like the TRW units but they do sometimes need modifying with a grinder to stop them eating the ABS rings.

You've given the threads a bloody good going at with a wire brush I assume? I personally prefer to use heat as a last resort.

ASR? That sounds German ABS sensors for the Clio Sports *should* all be the same.

Who ever loaded it would be like Face + Palm (or would it be owners Palm + His face?)
