134k on the 182 atm, still going strong :)

I was going to suggest that actually, I have seen a thread recently on it and the guy "tachosoft" had been used before with good reviews plus that's only £20/30

PMS for me then :smile: Will buy the vibration dampers just in case. EDIT: Just realised i have stolen this thread ha, sorry! Back on topic where can you buy the Yanoo from?

Does the PMS rattle a lot like Davyy is saying? I know PMS have those vibration dampers now as extras. Why was the Yanoo your preference?

What would be good if someone has had PMS and the Yanoo kit so they could give us a good comparison. I have heard good things about both really, but that just shows how s**t the change is standard.

What is Beaniesport like? I have heard some good things, i understand they are busy. Haven't had much of a response when i asked about doing some work on my car :(

Yer there is a lot of opinions on this subject like i said, I will give the new standard ones ago with the Powerflex bush and see how I get on. Worst case I can always change to the Ktec ones if required. I would like to go for a ride in a car with some fitted to see what it was like for myself...

When i had wet foot wells in my DCI it was the sunroof, as you don't have one it could be the scuttle drains. It would be best to strip back the plastics and carpet in that area then get a friend with hose to poor water all over the car and see where it comes in from.

Spending money like it's water atm! Another job i fancied doing was changing the engine mounts, i believe they are the original ones and as they have done 130k+ It's probably worth changing them. There is a lot of controversy surrounding engine mounts, with some strong opinions. My dog bone was...

Just take it to Mick if your not confident or another specialist if that's too far. I can't imagine it would cost you more then an hours labor and some solder lol.

Where did you get your pump from? I had a full aux belt kit fitted when the belts were done so the PAS is the last piece it has a newish alternator on it as well.

I paid a lot more as i had lots of other stuff done at the same time. I just went with Service Code D on their website and then had more stuff done ha ha, but £630 sounds about right.

How did you get on with this? Major difference? What did you go with the plug and any pipes etc?

I had mine done at Engine Dynamics earlier in the month and highly recommend. I did the whole lot including water pump and dephaser etc.

Its not hard to solder a couple of wires i remember you saying @NorthloopCup helped you before so maybe he could do it for you?

I have bitten the bullet and ordered a new power steering pump of eBay, cost £90 and it's supposed to be a genuine refurbished part. It was this one if anyone else is interested. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151264344362?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I am trying to...

Oh dear that doesn't look good, does the coolant sensor actually work? Probably worth just putting in some new wires.

Let me know how you get on with the pump from eBay, did you buy a second hand one or a new refurb one? I am looking for one myself.

What's the postcode? You can PM it to me if you like, I live close by so would like to check it out.

People do say after 100 miles or so the Ktec/vib ones do settle down a little. Even when i spoke to Andy at Engine Dynamics he said a poly dog bone and standard mounts are perfectly fine for a road car. As my car has done similar miles i think i will replace the engine and gearbox one next.

Looks like you have found the culprit then. You could test the wires for continuity and that would tell you if there was a break and with which wire, but it sounds like its the plug itself. I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue to strip some of the loom covering off to solder new wires on with the...

That's strange when i put my plate in nothing :( maybe because its a 55. Did it happen to say a manufacturer of the part? I think I will look into the EPAS conversion for the future, but for now just stick with the current setup.

Hahaha I wouldn't say mental, i would say passionate about driving lol. That's 3.5 hours one way as well! I have been all over the country just for a drive or something to do. Driving makes me happy especially when on a great road.

I agree with you, I am trying to decide the best way to replace my power steering pump as in with Euro's or a refurb etc. I have also just ordered the Autoglym Headlight Restoration Kit, normally I would go with 3M stuff, but thought I would give it a try. I also ordered some Gtechniq C4, some...

Is it difficult to convert to EPAS? Not something I have looked into really.

Yer I have seen a couple, but not sure if they are trust worthy etc. Anyone used a refurb company before? Yer I looked on Euro's and doesn't give much info. Brand of part is after market and its £200+ would only spend that sort of money on a genuine new one really. GSF didn't list anything on...

I was supposed to be working today but ended up spending the whole afternoon going through this lol. Glad to see you have stuck with it long projects can become disheartening. Good luck for 2017.

I think you should go back to blue and sell me the black induction kit haha

I need a new power steering pump, i spoke to Renault Parts Direct and unfortunately the part is no longer available. Anyone know where I can get one from? I don't really fancy some Chinese crap from eBay and Euro's is a bit vague. Only other option would be to get one rebuilt.

Only VXR i would buy especially in that colour. I went to one of those VXR Power Events at Thruxton and drove the Insignia, Astra, Corsa VXR and a Corsa Nur. Last year i also did 3000 miles in an Astra J VXR when i went to Worthersee. The Astra left me feeling cold really, it was fast and...
