I found a bosch lambda on ebay, 60 quid plus 30 for transport. will ask renault for their price and if the diff is noticeable I'll take a chance on ebay

depends how much they'll charge for transport. anyway, 80 will be the best I'll find

65 is a good price.. I'll be paying around 100 here :(

maybe. wanna hear other thoughts on this. can't make an idea from 2 opposing sources

that's what I've read on a car parts website. I don't know, maybe renault recommends 50k like you said :S

they will but I'm afraid they will rub on the arch liners when on full lock. better get some used steel wheels (15") and some 195/50 tyres

when you had changed yours, what mileage did you have on the clock? I've read somewhere that they should last about 100k. I'm on 56k right now so wondering if they give up earlier often or not

205/45 r 16 are hard to find sometimes. go for used steel rims plus some cheap 195/50 r15 tyres if you can't find the std size.

you should find 195/50 r 15, and have a set of steel rims

I was about 37 mpg @ 65mph. should I consider a new lambda or ... engine warms up as it should, and it revs to 7250 when warm, so CTS and thermostat should be ok

was the wind blowing when you had the test? this can be a major factor

indeed I was talking about gallons not miles ;) I was thinkin that maybe the US gallon may be standardized and used all over the world, that's why I asked

I was talking about the instant fuel consumption at a given speed, this shouldn't have anything to do with the average mpg, and re-setting the trip computer would be just an option. I'll set the cruise to 65 mph with the first occasion and see if I'm above 40 like fred said

reset? what do you mean?

is there anyway to do it yourself or is this a renault job?

just wanted to be sure even though 37mpg (US) at 80 would've been too optimistic!

I suppose you are also talking miles per UK gallon right?

you said that you had 26 mpg lately. is that around town or combined?

are you people talking about miles per UK or US gallon? my car shows in liters/100km and I want to see how mine is compared to some of your cars fuel consumption wise.. thx!

I've seen your thread some time ago, good job ;)

I'll try to remember that :D thx for the quick replies!

I would buy some cheap t1r's for the summer and also a cheap set of winter tyres if on a budget. I'm not a fan of compromises when it comes to traction/handling

while we're in the cat area.. the emission light came on today after I wanted to get the tailpipes re-aligned- this involved some banging with a hammer at some joints as they were stuck and I think this messed up the second lambda sensor Am I right saying that the second lambda is indeed the...

it's to be done then ;) thx!

I was thinking at the loss of back pressure bla bla but fcuk I'll do it I suppose I'm still opened to suggestions though ;)

Basically the narrow cat exit towards the center section (the one that needs to be cut and replaced with a 2,5" exit pipe) has a crack in it and without providing details the guy who welded it said it might not last for long so.. Is the cat mod worth the hassle? I know BTB does something like...

good job fitting these to a MK3 ;)

hankook rs-2. solid sidewall, good on road and track days. cheaper than most performance tyres also

many say red means you want to make people think you have brembo's. I think red will look good with most colours and there is a good number of cars with red painted calipers straight out of the factory without them being brembo MK V GTI Leon cupra Octavia vrs just to name a few

exactly ;) I used red on both calipers and plenum, very good quality paint and no problems with high temperature resistance
