I know a few guys on here have done this conversion so looking to clear up a few points, my high pressure pump has gone on the van so this afternoon have pulled the engine and box out and have a cat c 182 coming tomorrow to re shell into the van. EPAS, I assume this is the preferred setup now...

my old one in stirling by any chance?

was just a joke about the wheels as I know how anal trophy owners are about wheels, xenon's, dampers etc! However!!! As much as I miss my 182 trophy, I miss my 220 trophy a lot more!

What's with the not a real trophy? Wrong wheel colour?

Glow plug relay replaced, problem solved 😁

It's a k4m

I've got the big Halfords industrial roll cab filled with Halfords tools, never had to return anything. I've got my old 200? Piece kit that I use for the real shite messy jobs to save using my good stuff and it's spot on, I've had massive bars on the ratchet to lever on them, jumped up and down...

As per first post "df061 preheated circuit malfunction"

It's strange because from all the reading I've done I can't find anyone having the same issues with the glow plug light on, most of the time it's not coming on at all. Going to fire a set of plugs in it anyway but it's just odd that it would start perfectly every day then suddenly the issue...

Unknown, probably old, would one fail take them all out?

Pirate treasure stop the glow plugs from working?

Sure someone here will have experience with this. DCi 65, glow plug light is permenantly on and it's struggling to start when cold. Turns over for 10-15 secs then starts with a ploom of white smoke, turn it off when it's warm for example at the petrol station and it starts perfectly as normal...

My local scrappys had a few let me know if you want me to get a set cheap as I get on well with them

It's a genuine 16v sport that's been colour coded poorly. Replace all the CC bits from a scrappy and it would tidy up nicely. Colour looks a bit UV faded but maybe just a poor photo. He dropped it from £500 to £350 still a bit expensive for what it is/work required

The r-link runs on Android anyway, what benefits would you get from replacing it? I'm pretty sure the benefits wouldn't outweigh loosing the rs monitor

yes that will be pre VVT, nice cars always liked the 1.6 16v

just not long sold mine after doing 20k in it in a year. Best Renault sport I've ever owned, and I've had every hot Clio since the ph1 apart from the V6's! Once you settle into a groove with it its fantastic, hugely more capable than its predecessors I found the interior build quality was...

if he drops the price this will end up in my garage haha

if you have to ask that question then you don't want to be spending money on it! that turbo is tiny and of course the manifolds are completely different the engine can be turbocharged, bloke is your man with his twingo RS adventures.

Runs off the abs so that's first place I'd look

buy a van!

My Halfords one has been used a few times a week for 15yrs, been spot on, going to replace it with one of the Costco ones soon though and promote the Halfords one to the back of the van

whats it worth as is to save breaking it? I know a mate looking for a project. the 197 from hell bites again lol!

Best. Thread. Title. Ever.

I get about 35mpg pottering about on my 50 mile motorway commute If I take the van instead and just use the 220 blasting about locally it drops sub 30 very quickly

These were proper fucked, MOT fail and could hardly see at night, an hour with wet and dry a d a machine polish...

I doubt it will be any better than the cup-s on fuel tbh

You average 100mpg over say 100 miles? Surely that trip computer is broken. I can drive pretty economical but 70mpg on a long trip is about the best I could ever manage

MPG went up a little due to the torque you didn't need to down shift as much but drivability was night and day, standard ones feel broken when you go back to one lol the performance is fantastic, the torque from 1500rpm-3000rpm is brilliant

I average 35mpg pottering about in auto normal mode, push on and it soon drops sub 30mpg. Facelift interior is a bit nicer with the different centre console and nicer air vents etc, led lighting inside and led lights outside make a massive difference when driving at night. They are apparently...
