Time will tell, plenty of experience on here of timing failure after a period of the belts getting done, not necessarily immediate failures. I'm hoping it lasts for you though.

Had my 1.4 for 5 years now and I can say it's not been the cheappest run about, just paid the tax - £170 ouch

I think I picked mine up for just shy of £800 many moons ago, the HD200X I have has only had 1 issue in the last 4-5 years and it was the colour wheel getting dirty (caused the image to stick to a colour) It's still on it's original lamp (Not that expensive to replace anyway) only negative...

We use Vantive, Remedy and HP Service Manager 9. Only really rate Vantive though.

To me ! ;)

Purples been done before

It's believed to be for engineer regulations in regards to vibration, it can be removed without issues (Requires removal of top engine mount to access the bolt) Weights quite a bit for it's size.

To my understanding, breathing mods on a diesel do very little.

I've got an optoma HD200 at the moment, asides from an issue with the colour wheel getting dirty it's been faultless and the quality is brilliant.

Blowers recirculation system flap ? Pretty sure it's meant to be on a motor too.

I'm sure the thing has to get hot then cool to set properly.

Jesus ! That needs some serious TLC, try a sample spot with some cutting compound and see what sort of results you get.

Picked this up yesterday and instantly got sidetracked in finding all the roads and billboards lol Really reminded me of burnout paradise (But less epic) so that's a plus. Probably not much in it for the long run but it had me absorbed for a good 4 hours last night

I believe the part under the fog lamp is part of the arch liner

80085 - Have a photo somewhere ;)

If you need any working parts to test ASAP, I'm relatively close working in peterlee - just holla I have 2 172's doing nothing at the moment all with working sensors etc

Could always try a compression test, think the kit is fairly cheap. I know how you feel though, the exact same thing happened to my PH1 a few month ago.

I popped into renault last week and got a price, it's £150 for all the parts now: 0000105400 0000150901 0000149600 7711381801 When I asked the parts guy was adamant these arn't part numbers, but they will go through the system fine.

Single connector with 2 wires yeah, the loom was a bit iffy and common fault so Renault sold a new connector with loom (The sort KTEC sell) From memory the loom on these run straight to the ECU, you could run a continuity test from one wire to the ECU pin but it would be a pain in the ass lol

Should be dandy just whipping the airbox off :)

Crank sensor is right on top of the gearbox where it meets the block, a tad out of sight and awkward to get to. If you have a volt meter check for voltage to the coilpack. The item being tightened

:rofl:

Nothing obvious mate, couldn't see any bolts etc I'm sure once it's out, it will stand out though - I nearly died when I took the mount off (Then swore a lot at not going with my gut feeling)

None taken, this is one of three (eek) so luckily I had other car's to use. I've got an engine on the bench so hopefully I'll have it out on the lift this weekend and see what's salvageable (Watch this space for the mess!)

I told the guy all I wanted was home recovery but he insisted he wanted a look lol Mind you he spent an hour looking so hats off to him (He assumed it was a 1.2 at first) I think if it was age it would be consistent across the belt, it looks like something's came loose and chewed the belt. When...

After the AA guy diagnosed the PH1 with a faulty ECU and or Loom, I replaced them and it still didn't start. So I started to dig and thought I would check what I assumed was the issue when it happened and what do you know. Slipped timing and bent valves sounds about right. New engine time :p
