do a search or start a post asking about which upgrade brake kits people recommend if i was you as i have no idea which kits best.also depends on what you use the vehicle for as some brake kits only work well when their hot which you wouldnt achieve on normal road use.

1.4 energy engine.commen leaks are from the headgasket and rocker cover gasket.has the sump corroded through?

pencil ing coil failure - rare(not).really commen problem,even the new modified coils still fail.

what does your dealer say?

you could yes.think there just held on by clips or 30 torx screws underneath.

drive around with a car full of people for a while to help the springs settle.

just read page 6.i would see what renault uk say but youve definatly got a case against the dealer.theyve sold you a non spec car at the end of the day.

you should have a copy of the pdi sheet in your service book/book pack.

is the clutch fork plastic pivot point in the bell housing worn.is the clutch harsh or do have have difficulty in getting gears?

poss stiff throttle cable.

check battery water level,battery connections,engine earths,alternator connections especially the connector block,aux belt tension and the charging rate @the battery(between 13v and 14.7v)

the person who had the fault had it immediatly after fitting the cat.this was to quick for the obd system to self test the cat as the conditions are very specific.it sounded like they had damaged the sensor or its connector when they swapped it over.

ive had a few where the pedal was sticking in its pivot bracket.

the detailed icm tells you the full vehicle factory build spec.they are called discharge lamps on the icm. any news yet iain?

check obvious things like is the throttle linkage including cable and pedal are all free and not sticking.if thats ok then probably a idle valve fault.part of the throttle body on a mk1 and not avaliable separatly.

renault say anything under about 1 litre per 700 miles is within their specifications.oil consumption should get less as the engine does more mileage.

there is a tab on either side.you squeeze them both together.

v6 brakes wont fit go for a brake upgrade by somebody else.im sure people on here will have recommendations.

the person i heard of with a problem after fitting the k-tec cat sounded more like a sensor fault and not the cats fault.

key has to be programmed.approx £65 for the key and about 30 mins labour.

someones in trouble anyway.

seen one on e-bay but the sale finished early.come with an air filter as well.

same here off to bed i think.

at the time i had my 309 thats what i wanted-LOUD!

defo interested because i want the inlet manifold etc so i can get it modified etc without taking mine off the road.

i meant sealed for life as in the oil doesnt need changing.you can still strip them and change synchro rings etc.a clutch fault would affect reverse selection as reverse has no synchros so the clutch must fully disengage otherwise you will have difficulty selecting reverse.you could try some...
