you can buy the bits seperately if you only need, say, the ring and the bolts. try a search using 'bosal' as there are a few part numbers in past threads

12. Henry, Sunday, run up the hill?
i'll tag along providing nothing else crops up. wouldn't mind a run or two if we're...
something's definitely off if it won't make the limiter (no need to dyno to confirm that). whereabouts are you? probably wisest to take it to a local specialist for some help
sorry, do you mean that it won't pull to the limiter, or that you've not attempted it?
can see you've another thread and have some replies in that; how about the cam timing? has the belt been changed recently and could that be related?
a rolling road run would show up a problem if it's...
mate, just to let you know that mine's now back together and that the ECU reset seems to have done the job (the Airbag and SERV lamps are out anyway) - recommended
personally, wouldn't attempt what you're thinking with the back box
what's wrong with the cat? second hand ones seem to pop up on here for round-about the £50 mark - would go for something like that if yours is defo shot. new fitting kit would be extra though
suppose you could have a go at...
as others, i'd not ask for the deposit back if i were the buyer.
if they don't contact you again and you're bothered about what they've said to you, you're going to have to do something.
aye - brushing it on can cause probs (if it's going to) due to the thickness of the application
try looking at some of the acrylic based hobby spray paints that you can buy in DIY/arts&crafts/model shops, etc
is it from a tin or a spray can? i think Hammerite's cellulose based (which will attack some plastics) but you can sometimes use cellulose spray paints on plastics without trouble, providing you build up the finish with light coats. could test the back of the badges to see if there's any reaction
it would be awkward but this is probably what i'd try: talk to him and ask if he'd mind telling you his employer's name; find/verify said employer's contact details, ring them, explain and ask if they'd mind confirming that he was informed of redundancy yesterday (or whatever).
if it's...
aye; guess it depends how badly corroded they are. mine was alright as i've been keeping it lubricated. think the guy at the dealer i took mine to told me they replace something like 70-80% of them though
i think they primarily check for rust and free operation although one of the Renault techs might advise. some of the mechs you see in people's underbonnet photos look quite badly corroded
