my money is on seized caliper(s)

it's a bumper off job IMO (though some disagree) Tips aren't easy to give as I've made a special tool for the tensioner because of where it is/access

Yes Martyn, definitely done a botch on it. Tensioer wasn't adjusted, and I just found this when I was pulling the rocker cover off to reseal it sparkplug on number 2 is totally submerged

bosch is ideal.

aux tensioner is probably sticking/seized. Replace the kit and it should fix it. Battery would be on the list to consider too as it'll be the extra load on the alternator after a cold start that's causing the slip

£130 odd for genuine if that makes you feel better

I plug in my snap-on diagnostic tool and look as the screen ;) Lambda from me is £72.50. Best off just going to eurocarparts if you're DIY fitting it

codes tell you about 5%. Live data is how you see sensor function, but as a code came up I'd be very confident it's faulty even though the light went.

another engine that's more than fine to skim, infact a compression bump would again be a good thing

never letting it get hot and regularly moving it was probably worse than just leaving it to sit, but never mind it's done now. a good service and check over for full sensor functionality, and flush the contamintaed oil out (do 2 oil changes in 200 miles) What kind of mpg have you been getting?

renault don't know s**t tbh. skimming is fine, just have to be a little careful to avoid detonation once it's fixed. changing the engine is mental if it really is just headgasket (doubt it, never happens)

that looks like it's mostly coming from the breather cover. Remove it, bin the gasket and seal with silicon. Also you could do with a new seal on the vvt solenoid

no, you can skim a reasonable amount without worrying. Use good fuel always if more than about 6thou is taken off

nah it's more than that, if you get the cams closer, the crank moves way out of place

done when the car was bought, 3 weeks ago. Buyer didn't trust the sales garage

cambelt has been done without use of locking tools. I would never do it on an F4R

far enough, but not the worst I've seen by a long shot.

Tipex marks on pulley.....common place Tipex marks on the end of tha cams!!!!!! WTF

fit a ph2 cat/decat and it will go on fine

threads are for screws..... would have been fitted to the original exhaust and should have been saved and reused

I see no mention of a decat..... the center silencer makes a lot of difference to noise, but you won't fail emmisions becuase of not having one. Good exhaust, center silenced version is better

Firstly, would! Secondly, Want! that is all

I use SPAL fans. They work out about £70 ish. for a 10 inch

I know someone else who's doing this, he'll be very happy, I thought it was going to be much too wide

sounds like you got lucky or they've improved lots in the last couple of years. That's VERY cheap lol

it's the cheap ebay fans that are problems in traffic on a road car rather than the rad, they're soooooo slow

and the rest!!! be closer to £2k with T&T

no

there's nothing to stop you changing just 1.

Re: Anyone got a 3 arm puller around cambridge? - Rear wheel bearing stuck on spindle The reason it was stuck on will be the missing spacers. They're 100% vital
