megane 2.0 or laguna 1.8 8v, probably a few others. Fits fine with minor cable mods

not really, but it'll probably half his costs

he says on the thread on vxronline that all the emergency stuff, helicopter etc is covered by EHIC

mate Tim just clipped the rumble strip there by understeering when his tyres started to go off

was there, saw it on the back of the truck. Parked next to another car in their party when the driver was escorted to his car by the po-po for a document check, looked seriosly shaken

Not strictly a "tough phone" but the nokia 6300 is very rugged. I'm a phone killer, and i only managed to break my first 6300 by running it over with a scenic......and it still recieved calls. 2nd one has had 18 months of careless use and still works just fine

use a leakdown tester ;) measuses % leakage. You need to connect an airline too though. A compression test will tell you a fair amount to start with

they're not strictly stretch bolts, but you need to measure the length to see if they're stretched out of spec. Acceptable length is in the workshop manual. Should be able to get a set from a motor factor for around £25-30, Roughly £50 from Renault IIRC

they clamp around the rack and hold it to the subframe

Last 1.2 16v i tested made 210psi. Didn't believe it, tried 3 different testers, but it really was. Think that was unusually high though Look for variance between cylinders more than absolute figures to start with, if there's an issue it's lilely to be on 1 or 2 cylinders rather than all

10psi variation is f**k all. It's got different cams for a start

told me ~200psi today. About right give or take. I litterally just dropped in to see where it was at, just got back into the coutry last night and still in holiday mode. Bit of a head scratcher though

well we made it there and back. Car did 6 laps of the ring, 5 of them pretty hard, and got us home with only a slight misfire that we couldn't sort with onboard spares. Not bad for 156k and £300, :D tiiiiiiired now

I dont know how anyone could tell what are right and wrong really. It's only a number at the end of the day. Gains are the best measure.

it's a dyno-dynamics. they read a little lower than Superflow (Superflow is a FAR better dyno), I doubt it'll break 200, but it should be close

ignition timing and cam timing are different things :)

yeah it's has billet cams, Looked like cats, but can't "really" see. I'd expect they're 428s as it was a FBW car before

Dont think they could have known really. They didn't fit them and have no past experience of that spec cam etc. Not something that you check before mapping either, just have to rely on it being done right

Just been to M-tech Timing was out!!!! So I reset it (after removing and cleaning the pullies) And locked the pulleys in the correct manner

calculate it. Take cat 420 figures as standard, measure the lift of the standard cam without a rocker, and calculate the ratio

yup, says that in the procedure.......... and on page 60, it says 2dNm +135 +/-15deg

2 different specs, (as there is on the DCI also....same bolt) I use 20Nm +135deg. Bolt IS a stretch bolt, with a length limit (in the manual). I carry 4 new ones

car looks lovely :) think you need to add wider track to go with the wider wings as the wheels sit a bit too far in. Definitely a fan of this car though :)

no more like a micrometer really

measure the amount the bolt stretches under tightening torque

oh, different then. Can't find it in the manual either :S Know i'd got that somewhere

that background is already on the phone. It's called Nexus you can put apps on from your pc, but you have to copy them to the phone, then open on the phone and install from there

if they're ARPs and you havn't got a stretch gauge, they're 47Nm

5k is good, late 182 money these days

LOL, think that was me. There's short clip of it going up Prescott somewhere, but i can't find it. Just sounds like pure WIN
