Had mine replaced by Birchdown, £175 all in. Top job.

£175 at birchdown for aux belt kit replacment.

Looks ok. If the cars warm, change up at about 6.5k. If the cars cold, the rev limit will be lower than usual.

Dedication!! Here's my Monaco after he'd worked his magic http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=334914&highlight=monaco

Pm Jay. He's based near Birmingham, detailed my monaco 172, great results. He'll show you where they remodelled his garage so he could fit a vee in!!

£450 now, or £1k++ if the belts go.

Yep, you can see the belt, pulley, tensioner from underneath.

I think it was changed to an inspectioin rather than a def change. Stupid IMO. You're coming up to cambelt time, so I'd bite the bullet and get them both done, Birchdown are only an hour from you. www.birchdown.com

Yes you can see the belt. IIRC, it will need the aux belt done as part of the service. I had mine changed recently, due to a faulty tensioner, approx £175.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Hope this is ready for oulton. I want a ride!

I don't see ph1 vee prices holding up as well as ph2's. If I was in the market for a vee, I wouldn't even consider a ph1.

10-15% worse. Ave 27-28mpg from what I've read from owners.

Gallardo ftw tbqfh

I'd want 1k plus his car. His is worth 9kIMO. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/831014.htm

Is yours a mk1 or mk2? The mk1's are meant to be better.

Thats why I'll never get cheap coilovers.

No idea on cost. Have a search in the guide section, try adjusting the switch first, might be fixable that way.

Go to a specialist, not a renault dealer

Yep, the cruise is de-activated by touching the brake pedal, if the switch is broken, this happens.

Brake switch, behind the brake pedal. Mine went, was replaced under warranty. Not a big/hard job, I think you could just try adjusting it (look in the guide's section)

I maintain, that as a standard road car, no hot hatch has bettered the Trophy. My non standard car is better in some circumstances, but not as a road car. I'm aiming to buy another at the end of the year, so I can push mine more towards being just a track car.

I had a 182cup, they can be picked up cheap, but if doing serious changes (coilovers etc) then a 182 has zero benefits over a 172.

About 1-1.5k more than a 182, they do hold there value better. I'd say 6k would get you into a decent one by the end of the year.

Pretty sure the standard splitter is more like £140. The carbon fibre one's are cheaper than standard.

That is second hand. Would run CM9798 though!

Really nice, not sure on the blue tinge to the indicators though.

Not worth it. I've had a 182 and a ph1 172 (and ph2 lol). The ph1 feels slightly quicker than the 182, probably due to different gear ratios and lighter weight. I'd only go as far as matched inlets and a remap (rstuner is the cheapest way to get a custom map), and poss an exhaust. Wouldn't...
