i wouldnt be paying any more than 2 hours labour so £70 max, i can do them in an hour without ramps! u dont even need to take the bloddy back wheels off!
and yes you will need the tracking done or it will go thru tyres quicker.
from memory VVT disengages like i said at 7200rpm or there abouts to protect the pistons as the standard ones cant handle prolongued use above that level!
people just get more confidence when they get their springs changed to something stiffer, the pace i can hold in bends in my girlfriends standard 1.6 16v is nearly what i can do in the dci and thats just because she has cheap tyres and i have T1-R's all round. they handle well as standard they...
nearly ;)...
Authentique is the bottom of the range one, avoid that, dont even know if you can get a dci in that actually.
Privelidge is a pretty low speced one too never really saw one up close to look at one.
Expression has the electric mirrors, CD player after a certain year, wheeltrims...
rubber mounts are there to absorb vibration, you have removed one and replaced it with something that doesnt absorb it as well, you will get more vibration at idle and when driving.
better of just replacing them with a new genuine renault one every once in a while
ok so converting to diesel apart from the cost involoved will half your fuel bills but you wont benefit from the £35 a year road tax or cheap insurance?
ive read some s**t on this forum but never this bad
you cant afford to run it but you can afford the £3k+ bill to convert it?
ill quite happily put a 2.0 16v in a non RS car for someone if they wanted me to but convert something to a dci, thats asking for trouble i wouldnt touch it!
if your going to spend £££ in the first place on a car then yes its worth paying a bit more than average too get one already done
if your into standard cars and find a minter, the perfect car then its worth getting it cheap as possible to buy the bits needed to get it back to standard
sports suspension package was fitted on all Dynamique cars with the 1.4 16v, 1.6 16v, and DCi models
ive driven cars equipped with the "sports suspension package" and then driven the same car with eibachs fitted and their is a difference, however the eibachs in my opinion arnt a great match...
standard brakes arnt that bad.
suspension again isnt to bad set of 2nd hand springs from a 172/182 and it would be fine untill you get around to doing the suspension properly
