Forge it ;) Nothing like a bullet proof bottom end

Few mm at a guess. If you ever get chance to look at the marks the exhaust leaves on the head compared to the port size there is huge room to bore out.

Fair enough mate. It's a shame UCH units can't be reprogrammed :mad: If they were under £200 it's not an issue. Although, lots of faults some times point to the UCH, when if fact it's nothing to do with it. So a waste of money really. The only problem I could see is if people buy the incorrect...

There are two pins which recieve voltage, one before (pin 30) and one after (pin 66) ignition. If the ECU is recieving the correct voltage, and clip is showing all computers except the ECU, i'd be going down the route of a second hand engine loom.

Huh? They are £300 new from Renault, and that's without coding. I know i'd rather go for the second hand option.

If the option is there on the uch it's a 5 min job.

That's the fun part :S it could be loads of wiring related this, or something simple like a bad earth. Manually earth stuff to rule that out. If you can change the engine loom it might be worth a few hours work to rule out wiring breaks and dodgy connection. Also, the white plug under the engine...

Can vouch for that :( mine was really bad. Car nearly stalling, sounded like a tractor from cold. Better to be safe than sorry

It's most likely there rather than interior loom IMO. I'm intrigued as to what clip actually said. If there is an immobilizer issue it stops you being able to communicate with the ecu properly giving the assumption there is a problem with it. Did you see the test screens?

Could be wrong, not checked manual, but I think it's power input to ecu. Engine loom changed?

Sweet :)

Scaffolding going to be disappearing near you Russ? Budget build after all ;) :approve: does look mean mate

Usually you need to lock/unlock first mate, then it works.

Lol I do always wonder myself ;) Have you plugged it into diagnostics yet Nick? New loom tried ? No feed to pin 30?

Sounds like a second hand box might be a good idea mate. As you said, oe diff is nearly as much as atb :S

in theory, but you'd have to make sure there was lots of strength around the bolt holes.

are you 100% they gave you the correct DS? I remember Jay/Tony having issues with the wrong length being supplied.

^^^ it's good, but don't spray directly into the bay when you have a french car that has crap wiring anyway. Recipe for disaster imo. Just using damp microfibres works just as well for me.

All comes from the same source mate ;)

they might be ok, it's just the rear arches are rolled slightly on the 182, so you may get scrubbing when there is more weight in the back.

Different breather, but aside from that identical. Exhaust ports are bigger as said

Looks wicked mate :)

Forged bottom end? Surely a totally standard engine won't achieve 200+ :S

Standard inlets should be good for just over 200 :). these cams you're doing must be wild mate

Welcome :D stick some pictures up

So you sell a good French car for a cheap Jap car with a rubbish Renault engine ;) the new ones however :approve: What's the plans mike?

Is it gloss black? Or the wierd shade on the wheel pic on the last page?

bloody hell mate. That's dodgy with the battery. Could have been worse I suppose. Where is that on your car? Not sure if dry cell ones explode. :S

it does look the part, but i'm always cautious about these things. when you think a decent sport exhaust mani is probably 3 figures, it put it into perspective for me. I'd love to see the difference if it makes any though :D Oh and what's with the hangers on it :S

i moaned at greenlight for putting my premium up and they threw in NCB for free :) It is worth it especially at your age Luke ;)
