Where is it rubbing ? Get some pics up so we can see your issue

Yellow is power , brown is earth and blue is side light power . There you go

Are there any codes current /stored from your reader ?

Has anyone any info on what vehicle it's off . I have a friend at Renault and is trying to look it up. Was it a special Motorsport division or Renault sport ,and do you have any idea on where one of these scoops can be purchased from @@Chambers_RS

If the engine won't turn , you have a serious issue . You'll need to investigate a little further

Ah ok , it does look really good . So has this set up been used earlier on in Renaults life ? Rallying clios maybe . Sorry about the pipeline joke [emoji33]

I bloody sold my Maxagen :( Mind you I have another idea in my pipeline [emoji6]

Do look good that [emoji106]

That is a very good question : purely because if you get the holes not even near the correct position , you ain't getting the strut brace on at a later date. Wouldn't want more than the recommended 3 holes I can tell ya. With regards to initial position - I'd drop the mount in upside down into...

I think once you fit the cable , you will be supposed how easy the throttle moves and feels . Quite poss you won't need the new TB . Nice write up [emoji106] it's coming along nicely .

Did someone say Rs2 [emoji12] As I'm down south , I'm awaiting to have mine mapped ready for Bedford.

First and Foremost you need to see if the engine turns by hand , IE with a spanner on the crankshaft . Do this FIRST

I've had the occasional sticky throttle at times . First is took apart the throttle housing and squirted thin 3in1 oil into the spindle shaft where the potentiometer sits and also inside the air tract. I left it so it had to run down into the spindle . This was very effective. A year or so...

Yes had mine done a few years back now , had matched inlets with cams , was nippy . Saw 178-180 on the rollers.

The eBay enlarged throttle ? Don't look enlarged to me . Here's an enlargement of mine , had a new butterfly made to go with it . See the comparison below .

Have you checked for spark at the plugs yet ?

There are bearings in the column at the top and bottom , Renault do not list them so new column . But I do recall you can still buy R5 column bushes and make them fit in place as the column shaft internal and external diameter are the same. I only know because I have done this a long time ago.

My link above are for the Eibach ones @Timmsy . Best ones by far well worth the money .

These are the ones you want . No messing about with 8 bolts , those 4 behind the wheel crap. http://www.trackstyle.co.uk/20mm---eibach-pro-hubcentric-wheel-spacers-renault-clio-b-0998-system2-23084-p.asp System 2 NOT system 7 down the page on website

Money wasted if you had the Rs2 and a low boost kit. A £1k manifold against a £100 or so matched or standard inlet manifold that the boost would have no trouble with . Spend the saved money on other bits imo.

Really looking forward to getting mine Mapped . I fitted mine last week and have only tickled the throttle on its first outing as the map needs re-doing. I have 438's fitted so I should see some good more oomph out of it [emoji2]

@Ash-b-84 has or had a set on his 182

If you can grab a few pics that would be awesome . So much love for the old skool fords . I heard recently a Escort cosworth was priced at £50k [emoji33]. I'll be attending the 27th Feb @bedford , will be good to meet you .

Very nice , such an iconic motor now . Hard to come by a decent one without a hefty price tag. Yes , back in the day me and my mates had Mk1 and Mk2 escorts with janspeed exhaust and twin 40 carburettors ect . Jesus if I'd known how much they are worth now back then I'd have kept it stored...

This is an RS2. Inlet Manifold

Hello , I spy a 4 door Mk2 in the background . What that having done ? A restoration job ?

Pop the oil cap off , put it in 3rd gear , and rock the motor back and forth and you should see the cams turn . It the cam don't move - you have engine trouble .

Try not to get to hooked up on wire colours as the diagram I supplied is a generic one and not model specific . I'd say measure the 12 volt inputs and flashing circuits and label them. Go that route not colours .

So long as you have some sort of paperwork showing terminals with the new switch - it should be straight forward.
