if you can't get new helper springs in time, just remove the broken ones. they're not true helper springs really (WAY to soft for that), just keep the spring located so it doesn't come loose when you jack the car up

£15 for hubcentrics? ahahahahaha

pre cat lambda is the only one that effects the engine. post cat is just for the warning light to tell you if the cat isn't working

Dell is a good option. I chose against it and went for one from Sainsburys for £70 less and 1Gb more ram, and i've not been diappointed.

just lose the centers IMO. Make them look a bit more hardcore

that is your aux belt. Drives engine accessories such as Aircon, alternator, power steering

so a rubber that slides on the end of a bar will fit different to a poly-bush that slides on the end of a bar? I'd LOVE to know how you'd rose joint that. Also rose joints dont last, they're hugely maintenance intensive on britich roads where salt and grit makes them seize up. Totally...

well worth it I recon. Been wanting someone to do it for ages

the dogbone just stops the engine swinging back and forth under load. It's not a mount as such, more a tie bar

depends on driving style, Will probably be more neutral and turn in better if slightly nose down. I prefer to provoke the back end. My red 205 was always very slightly arse down and the handling was pinpoint sharp. God I miss driving that car

agree again. you should take the bars out to clean them up and grease the splines really anyway. Personally I'd leave it as is, looks awesome to me :D

for anything over about 5mm you will need longer bolts, or a stud conversion. You still doing that for £20? I think not

For some bushes going poly is the best thing you'll do to the car, for others it makes no difference, and others is a pain in the arse. Clio front ARB I would poly bush, the fitment will be NO different to rubber.

I dont think so. I mean, they're good, but you can do just as well for a full car set for less than the price of 1 front damper.

that was Matt (Muttley1) they're Prima 16 inch willy reps. Nice car.

I had a turbo fail on me once when i got a slight twist in the oil feed pipe. Also you need to make sure the oil return is clear and flows out of the turbo without holding oil in the core, as that can over-pressure the seal and once it's breached it'll always leak

physical test for play in the shaft is all i can suggest. You had a rebuild recently IIRC, how bad was the failure? bearings or anything like that? swarf in the oil would very quickly have shortened the life of the turbo, so if it's the same one I think it's a safe bet it's dying

turbo is most likely TBH. Exactly what mine have done in the past when the turbo has failed

when does it smoke?

no, just a pipe. To include a PCV the pipe would go from the separator to the plenum, rather than to the pipe before the butterfly. Vaccum on over run would suck out breather gases. But the F4R doesn't have that system

182 doesn't have a PCV valve :S

no chance. sat on my arse. Going home for the weekend shortly

We're in cheltenham :) new number is in traders section, and we should have our section active soon hopefully. drop Bex a PM if you can't find the number :)

well we dont make them, but we've had them made :)

I've fitted used ones that have come without the rubbers by drilling out the renault bushes by I think 2mm (please measure first, I dont remember) There's also an insert on the originals that you have to leave out

Brembo HC discs, Mintex 1144 pads, Our lines. Standard rears We're much closer to you now too if you want fitting Rich :)

22mm spanner, plug.....erm, that's it

again that sounds like the cam timing is wrong. When they're wrong they seem to have quite a bit or torque in the midrange, but power peaks early and doesn't hold on well at higher RPM

Only said, "jon is in america" actually ;) we had 3 silver ph1s in last week too Doubt it. Probably a gearbox and a set of mounts when the engine eventually gets rebuilt (it's on 100k) the rest has been pretty closely looked after

the best way is to replace with copper pipe. A wire brush and a bit of paint will go a long way though
