call renault parts department, or better still go in and speak to the people on the parts desk. they dont need a part number to find you parts, I dont know where this myth has come from

No, it's actually not a strecth bolt. A stretch bolt gets longer by design when torqued, the crank pulley bolt simply has a limitation on how much it's allowed to stretch and be re-used. I check the length on every bolt and it's rare to find one stretched. Infact most of the time i only have to...

you'll need access to a press, 30mm socket, circlip pliers. Probably need a hub puller as the shoes get stuck on the lip of the drum quite often, and be prepared to replace the rear brake shoes when the linings fall off

Re: The car you wish you never sold... What were they? I dont tend to sell cars. They get run into the ground and scrapped, or turn into another project. I miss my laguna the most though. God that car was brilliant. Should have F4R'd it

It f**king used to! I remember you calling me almost in tears that it was raining harder inside the car than out it's becuase it's pink ;)

I'm £45p/h and thats CHEAP! most places are £60+vat roughly

would help if you said where you are, then someone local might know if they are local ;) For reference, I charge £67.50 to fit a full set of springs, fully inclusive. to fit one it would be about £25, although i'd advise to always change springs and shocks in at least axle pairs

no idea occifer, donor car had a private plate

My car goes through on that, it genuinely is a conversion though

EFA ;)

i'd be swapping the pulley over. Not uncommon at all to see those plastic pulleys quite badly chipped

cheap nasty aweful kit. bolts are too short, springs are too long, gaskets are inferior quality

horrid

neglected and purposeful is a far cooler look ;) and you've never seen a car driven harder than that 205

They do get noisy, just the issue has got worse recently as people aren't servicing the cars properly/often enough

That would be pretty pointless as it's a flexi-joint When the gasket is new, you should be able to see some of it, as it wears the flanges get closer together and the springs slacken.

torque settings/tightening procedures for the bolts mostly now. Latest edition does actually detail using the sprocket locking tools quite well

poor brakes is normally down to poorly maintained calipers or incorrectly fitted pads. Calipers, sliders, pads etc all need to be able to move, quite often the can't and you need a large pry bar to get old pads out. Fluid change helps too, and making sure servo vacuum line is in good condition

I can't work out why this exists. It wont be an improvement over the already very good standard manifolds.

noooooooo!!!!! never ever ever ever!!!

if they're tough to get out, spray a little wd40 or similar at the o-ring and wigle the rail up and down a little until they loosen up

There's a fair number of engines that are non intereference. I has a subaru justy and the belt went on me at 90ish. New belt, done

I know what else you have ;)

Well to give them credit, as least they've given in and realised symbian wasn't upto it. Should have really got the message when the 5800 was a total piece of s**t

Camskill. Even cheaper if you get 15s ;) T1R's are just fine, people should learn to drive without relying on uber grip tyres to get them out of trouble so much

Re: Bomber's Savage Supercharged Snorting Slut of a Ph1 that'll be a nice boost leak for you. You obviously missed the old one ;)

I ask about the coilovers, as fitting solid top mounts often highlights faults shocks. Seen it a lot with H&R, and GAZ are just nasty to start with so it's a serious consideration

are they fitted to coilovers? if so which ones?

I did the cambelt on this about 2 years ago roughly, H&Rs were knocking quite badly already then. Believe the running issue this had turned out to be the flywheel coming loose, perfect once it was fixed.

Re: Bomber's Savage Supercharged Snorting Slut of a Ph1 my guess was going to be, the small breather hole into the breather plate hasnt been blocked, so boost is goin through it and straight out the breather pipe at the back
