fingers crossed it sorts itself out. Live and learn eh

need a LOT bigger turbo for that ;) GT2871R FTFW

erm, CLUTCH lol classic symptoms of the clutch plate springs being worn/soft. The springs are there to damp engagement, if they're loose they wont be doing their job so you get a judder

£30 extra for an almost identical item TBH. Know what I'd get, and it wouldn't be the expensive one ;)

NO, you're entirely missing the point. There's a disproportionate number of these failures on french cars. If it was just old people in general, you wouldn't notice a trend as they drive a wide variety of vehicles

the ECU is a bit more complex than that. If you use cable throttle, you need the correct loom and ECU to go with it. omex 600 with tailor made loom FTW TBH. make it a piece of piss to fit

+1 timing with +/_ 15 degrees of slop FTL

100% agree. I factored in a new driveshaft to the price of the car when i bought my latest 205, I knew it would need one before i'd even seen the car or spoken to the seller.......low and behold

not if it's a steaming pile of turd to start with

That's an awesome lockup!! Ramps just make everything so much easier

just get a new shaft from Renault. They've come down a lot in price recently so they're not that expensive for genuine parts anymore. And yes, ALL french driveshafts are s**t, most unrelable part of every french car IMO. Done more on french cars over the years than anything else

huh? dont get it, the clio ECU doesn't use a 28 pin eprom

not really needed this early on. Measured 85% duty (on 2 load points that were almost un used) at 210bhp on the rollers at Omex which are quite pesimistic

fairly obvious as Renault own ELF lol

your choice. I run Comma oil in my 200sx with 300+bhp. not one single issue

A friend/former customer of mine fitted a CDA to his 200sx. It strangled the hell out of it. Took the front off the box and it got all it's power back

seen results of independent testing that say otherwise. Mobil comes out decidedly average.

That's very odd, tensioner been overtightened possibly?

Renault did it with the 5 campus too, still made and sold them ages after the clio came out

erm, Hi

Never liked Mobil 1. I'd be quite happy to run Valvoline, Comma motorsport (sold as halfords also) or anything with a decent rating on the label. Why not buy ELF oil from renault?

Epic lack of understanding of the rat-look movement TBH It's meant to be about preserving the history of a car. Every dent tells a story and gives a vehicle character. Old rare accessories just make them cooler. I've seen 1950s rat-look buses where the outward bodywork has been left as good as...

no real need once it's mapped though. I'd be more inclined to watch oil pressure and temperatures

if both cars have ABS it will work fine. only the cup that needs the sensor in the box

well done :) what was the problem?

tip protrudes too far for a start. That and platinums cost 6 times as much

we run NGK coppers (BCR8ES) in the 182 demo car and that's just fine.

it's like talking to yourself.

that's the top engine cover/mount bracket. I've seen a couple strip threads, but if you fit a longer bolt there's normally enough there to hold it quite strong enough

every 12k or 12 months, whichever comes soonest
