Midgers was driving, he'd had 10 minutes with the car before competition, then another 100bhp for the next round with no practice time in it. Bren sacked him off for not winning, the tw*t. I was about 3 rows back from you with docwra. Bren and I havn't spoken in years LOL

remove the rubber door seal, there's a couple of clips you should then see that need pressing in while you pull the trim outwards, a screwdriver will do this ok. once it's loose slide it upwards

as above, it wont be free. Hours labour is about right. Get down to k-tec near bournemouth or rentec near portsmouth

it is longer, but most of it is bends

just make the 172 one fit, easy enough. Most you'll need extra is a piece of 2.5 inch pipe.

well you'll have both the flanges you need on the 172 cat, so it should work fine if you have some reasonable fabrication and welding skill. I've done similar before, and also made de-cat pipes in this way

someone on here is a renault tech in/near bristol i think

fuel pressure regulator bullshit. Makes you run lean for 3 minutes every time you start the engine warm. get rid of the 2 meters of vac hose and run a single short piece from the FPR to the plenum

better ;)

Renault book time is 7.2 hours. I'd be embarrased to go over 5 hours, but I was doing 4 a week at one point. I'd be worried by somewhere that's not a specialist in RenaultSport cars

they probably wont know the difference. There's so many cheap alternatives available, they'll have them. Until recently the tools were £250+. I do 2 a week so I invested

make sure they have the GENUINE Renault timing tools (they wont ;) )

where's it going for the cambelt?

could be a lambda fault. Once the light comes on plugging in to diagnostics is the easiest way to fault find. You'll be changing things and chasing the fault otherwise

if it's done wrong they can de drastically down on power

1.4 16v is very similar setup to a 172 cup, so you're looking at a similar price, around £300

it's not necessary to remove the rack to change the track rods

had the cambelt done recently?

can't stand mobil 1 tbh. everything seems to run rougher.

which Mobil 1? didn't think they did a 5w40?? no idea what size it is, sorry, just one in the kit

nope ;)

ebay is good. I got a refurbed dell from there that lasted me 4 years. A brand new Dell is only £369 now, and with a very good spec

what oil and how old?

yes

I'm pretty sure the one on my 1.8 8v laguna is identical to a cup

wrong one. the cup one has the bolt hole that fixes to the tensioner about 30degrees furthur round. that's a standard 172 alternator

that's properly weird!!! but it's done it to me now.

doesn't say it does on that advert to be fair.

get a big washer on there and clamp the remaining part so it doesn't move. hopefully that'll sort the noise :)

421s were in the boot last time i saw it. used to be a standard engine with cams, large single TB and an Omex ecu. It dropped a valve head 2 years after it was put together.
