Cub im also a volvo fan as you know.
There's a chap on here that has a 2.4 T5 S60, Phil I think?
Anyway he was saying to me that the R is twice the price of a T5 but not twice the car.
Also that the R engine liners are prone to cracking as they are thin.
The R guys fit and tune the 2.4 T5...
They are a trader on here, if you message them they will recommend what's best for your needs and budget. :)
I have used the elf stuff you posted and it's fine.
How much heat?
It needs to be hot, also something to bear in mind is if you do have to get it hot then it may make the TRE useless as it might end up melting the grease.
Getting it bloody hot will expand the TRE and it will come undone.
If so then you will have to put the track rod back into the hun and put the nut back on to hold it.
Then you will have to warm up the track rod where the rack arm screws into.
There should be a flat bit on the rack arm where you can fit a spanner?
You will have to work the rack arm as you...
What won't move?
If you are on about the track rod lock nut then put it back into the hub.
Clean the thread's up with a wire brush as they will be full of rust. :)
The one's you have bought are universal, these are made to fit a range of racks.
The only way you will get them to fit is by cutting/trimming them down to suit.
Failing that you will have to buy one from Renault.
No need for hi temp paint on the inlets or engine block.
I know because I've done it on my car.
My engine block is painted in Hammerite stain black and my inlets are painted in lunar grey 2k.
