I have the exact same angled setup on my race car but with a smaller ramair filter and at WOT it sounds like it’s itbs

I looked after it well and I bought it when I was 18 😆 teenagers these days are f**king idiots though so it’s probably in a ditch already

Check the earth on top of the gearbox, it’s pretty much directly under the throttle body area. I’ve had that break before with similar symptoms.

Only 4 months overdue at the moment, and yeah I’ll get one fitted over the winter just want one last run out this year before the maintenance train starts again 😆

Good point, I’ll stick a new aux belt on it as it’s only about a 2 minute thing to do with no a/c. Cheers 👌🏻

My turbo 182 was due a cambelt on time in March just gone. There is a track day I want to do next month in it, would you risk it? It’s probably done 1500 miles if that in that time so it’s purely due on age. I only ask as I see the Megane interval is 6 years now. Cheers

That looks brilliant Dan!

Sweet I’ll get some of that! Cheers

How did I miss that, I read that thread yesterday! Cheers mate

Think that’ll have to be done as it looks so much better. Anybody know which CarPlay modules work? The 15 year old idrive is showing its age!

Had the first issue today, the poxy rear view mirror fell off! The adhesive has failed on the screen which is annoying, anybody got any links for decent adhesive to stick it back on?

Ever since I sold my E61 I’d had a hankering for another, or alternatively an F11 530D. Jump forward to yesterday morning scrolling Facebook marketplace this car pops up, 2010 SE 530D ZF8 gearbox in space grey with oyster interior. 121k miles, seemed a genuine car with a genuine owner. So I...

Thought the same when I recently used some, but didn’t think anything of it as bought from KAM

The amount of hours spent on this think I would’ve just bought the ecu set off @Louis.

FWIW i drove my 172 to a car show once came back to it to drive home and the ecu decided to brick itself. Replacement ecu/uch/key and it fired straight up so it does happen.

I paid £700 for mine on my race car, albeit this was done as a race car job so isn’t perfect.

Hopefully see you at snetterton, if I pull my finger out and get my 172 sorted for hot hatch!

Did they ever hill climb it in the end? Fairly sure that’s what they wanted to do when they bought it off me. I even kept the receipt from when I sold it and had thought many times over the years phoning them and seeing if they still had it/wanted to sell it. The day I got it!

Wow I haven’t seen that old girl for years! I was 18 when I bought that from a guy in farnborough, paid £3250 for it with full Renault history at the time and only 30k miles on it. Took it Scotland for my cousins wedding and sold it when I got back as I decided I wanted to go racing and I’ve...

Will you be selling the old standard suspension or is it past it?

Once I’m settled at my new job I’m making it a priority 😆

Thought about selling the lot and buying an m2

I don’t know of anyone just selling replacement standard bushes unfortunately. It’s not the end of the world for me to go poly with it, just more hassle to fit the bushes 😆

Fair enough part of me did think that would be the case. Polybushes probably will be the solution then annoyingly.

Has anyone bought and used the Ktec aftermarket lower arms for 172? I want to do a suspension refresh on my cup but don’t want to fit polybushes to the current arms. I’m just a skeptical of ordering because knowing Ktec they won’t turn up! Unless anyone knows somewhere else I can buy them...

I haven’t fitted one yet but I’m going to when I finally get my engine back together. Probably wouldn’t have this issue if I’d had this fitted!

I’ll have a 131k mile 172 cup for sale in 4-6 weeks if that’ll be of interest? Could be sooner if needed.

So after my petulant outburst months ago when I thought the gearbox had shat itself again, yesterday I decided to actually look at the car to see if it was indeed knackered. Taxed it yesterday and drove it up the road, little noise heard but nothing like before very odd. Eventually I came to...
