MPG depends how you drive but you'd need to spend a bit to get 150hp out. Most lilly the best value is cams manifold work exhaust IK maybe head work total bill is £3k ish. A 172 transplant is a better way to do about it. £1.5k+vat for the parts and assuming you find a fgarage the'll charge...

Just don't plug th second sensor in tape up the wires and it won't come on.

I think you need to look after my car for a bit. Very good though you've got to much time though to clean your car that much. I've eaten off things dirtier than your car.

Re: I think I f**ked the coilover fitting FRED I NEED YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep you need the old spinny bearing (part 3 on that Renault drawing on the linked post earlier in the thread. Then put the bung on (the one you have in your hand) then put the small metal bit which sits inside the...

Only 5 people going on track come on poor showing.

£10 a day for under group 14 or somehting £20 for over minimum of 21 years old I think. I think the website is somehting like dayinsure.com. Not much you cna do there only 2 companies who offer it from memory might be worth trying your own insurer.

Are you saying you missed out part 3 on the drawing in the thread. the easy way to know if you've done it right is does the big rubber bung bit (the second bit down in this drawing) http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y76/ajr83rt/williams/CIMG0585.jpg can spin round on the part 3 of the...

It is supposed to promote more power but the extra heat if you wrap the whole exhaust I think can lead to damage as the pipes behind the manifold arn't desingend to cope with the extra heat. I'm not sure I'd remove the heat sheield which is there now I'd fix it there always things you can do.

New ones are £9.65ex vat I think from memory.

Pottle did you get my email is that OK?

I thought it was already out on it.

Check if you get a spark might be a loose wire in the ignition system. Is the starter motor actually turning the engine as they arn't that good if it isn't turing the engine anyway the ignition won't fire. Have u tried bump starting it that would explain if its a starter motor issue.

Did you change the tensionsers as well as this can be the problem there not very good the tensionioners on Renaults.

Re: Urgent help needed!!! Somtimes the people who know the answers don't notice the posts were only human. Just bump a thread up and someone will notice it who know the answer. Expecting an answer this quick (15 minutes) seems a bit unrealistic or have I got something wrong? I've...

If its the imobiliser then the light on the dashboard wouldn't go out.

Pictures?

£250 for the cambelt to be done usually. £50 for a pump Coolent chnage say £35 Normal service say £100 Gearbox oil chnage £30 So its not a bad price realy. Personally I'd get the cambelt and pump done and do the rest yourself is not difficult a bit tricy but top spec parts ie Millers...

Its the best starting point. Matt's car which whilst is a Mk2 shell (ie hevier) with 430hp or so is probably on slicks quicker than an FQ400 but its built for the drag strip.

Is the fuel pump running? Check the fuses.

I don't think cam timing are to blame you'd have way more trouble (not sure the engine would ever work the valves would mangle up on startup). Could be the coolent temperature senor there quite comon to fail but usually the problem at high not low temps.

Forget it FQ-400 are supercar quick. Your only chnace is for them to break down (the 400's arn't that reliable from what I've heard might be down to owners though). The conversion well the bits for a 172 conversion are £1.5k+vat from Matt Black off here but you'll end up[ chnaging bitsso the...

Take the sensor out and clean all the contacts and dry them and it should work again.

175nm

1) Specify 1 or 2 good things about FCS06. Not bad in general realy. 2) Specify 1 or 2 bad things about FCS06. Track surface was abismal and track layoout very dull just flat out, Idiots driving up and down the runway. 3) Specify 1 or 2 things you would like to see at FCS07. Better...

I'd assume its the switch on the stearing column which is about that price so its not bad realy.

A 100hp shot doesn't always give 100hp might be just 50hp. 16V_Jon had a 75 shot in hit 1.2 and blew the piston up after a bit I wouldn't bother a 172 conversion is much better cheaper and you get the power all the time. The stock clutch and gearbox won't handle the power the clutch will...

105Nm +-10% the rest of the Mk2 range should be 100NM. Mk1's are 90NM. All the new bolts sold by Renault should be done to 105NM.

Dog bone maybe could just the the gear linkage isn't that good it might need chcking and adjusting.

Does it have air con? If so then its even rarer again.

If the ABS light come on then goes off after a second or so when the cars started and it doesn't skin in tests (unlikly) then its fine. Thew Mk1's ABS system isn't that good it might just have been slow to respond or your were driving to slow (under 10 or so MPH it doesn't work)
