Turbo or piston rings need changing. Take exhaust off at turbo and see if any oil on the turbine.

Still cant believe how much it weighs. Id need to strip the full interior to get similar weight out :LOL:

Updates Finally pulled my finger out and started fitting the Ast's, rears first. Started with bushes as got some powerflex in stock Done Shocks trial fit and fit well. No issues bolted straight on. Im no expert on setting up coilovers but ive went with the approach of leaving 1/3 shock travel...

Stick iti n a bucket of hot soapy water. Re oil if necessary if no maf, the foam filters fall apart when they go dry.

Can anybody recommend a new handheld rechargeable light? Mine died the other day. Considering the milwaukee m12 one at the moment.

It was as awful to replace as you can imagine. Can carefully pull sound deading out of the way from underneath but does not give the access required to feed the cable in. After much swearing i took the airbox off and unclipped the sound deadening at the top, which lets you get your hand in if...

First almost breakdown/recovery in the blue dci on Tuesday, must have cursed it with saying about the reliability. Sat in traffic on a main road and the clutch cable snapped at the pedal end. Its been clicking for a while but assumed it was wear on the pedal ratchet :cautious: Anyway started it...

Highly unlikely as most r5 bits have not been available for years.

Hard 37'000 miles by the looks of it.

Totally agree, loads of clearance from cv to hub on these so never going to cause issues. Nothing worse than them cheapo cv clips that never go on tight.

Updates Blue dci has been running well and its not using a drop of oil, not had to lay a spanner on the engine since refresh. I bedded the rings in on mineral oil for 2000 miles in the end, as it was still smoking a little on full throttle around the 1000 mile mark, which cleared up around...

Gtturboparts.com sell new. 2nd hand ebay or the renault5gtturbo pages on facebook

I believe pulling the ecu will always throw the light on even when turned off in the multiplex. I just left the airbag ecu in with the airbags disabled and no warning lights.

Leave airbag ecu fitted or tape the light.

Nope gtt is different. Can still get them new from a few places, gtt or diesel any other models are no good

The play in the rubber bush is normal, they dont really nip up as such and need to be slightly loose so they can rotate on the bewring once the car is on the floor. Check balljoints, trackrod ends and inner tie rods for play as all knock like f**k with a little bit of wear.

From memory the threaded section adjusts the jaw height, was ages ago when i used them. The grip you can get is unreal though just by squeezing the handles together, better than most molegrips

Purchased, thats a lot better price than snapon

Agreed more like mole grips. Im rarely impressed with snap on but these are 100% worth the dollar.

Knipex will be bang on, good brand. I borrowed a set of snap on ones recently to undo a rounded off brake union. Prob better than most sets of stillys, great bit of kit.

As above if the bore is not damaged and still in spec i would just glaze bust it with a flex hone and new rings.

Uch needs repairing. Dieselpump uk repair them via ebay with fast turnaround

Make a new set in kunifer, easy enough.

The 100mm jack pad is miles better than the smaller diy jacks. Less risk of slipping when jacking up.

Ph2 rev counter is through the canbus as far as i can see. Speed comes from abs block if its using that setup

Download visu for clio2 and that will give you the info.

The blue bung is just blocking the carbon canister pipework which does not usually cause an issue, assuming its clipped on/not leaking. Check the exhaust is not blowing

By the sounds of it, its only a quick hone, rings, bearings and ancillaries. No new oil pump and all the sealant on the rocker cover. Id rather do the belts on a good running engine than sticking in something that might have just had a quick flash over.

Roses tins. I also have a drawer in the garage with an old kitchen cutlery divider fitted which is brimmed with allsorts of fasteners, it weighs a ton im expecting the drawer to break one day and make a right fu king mess.
