Thats a FF with both cup packs btw, not a 182 Cup. Looks good either way! Have fun!

Imports won't have an alarm as standard, the UK ones have the alarm LED down by the gearstick and its a renault customised cobra.

+1 They're friggin awesome. Expensive but worth it (ish).

Yeh thats about right ^, just checked the invoice I had an upper/lower inlet manifold gasket too and it came to £282. And it was a fun friday job after i'd just finished a week of nights that morning :dapprove:, hope you've got pianist's fingers.

Both my 1.6 and the 172 haven't got roll pins in the shafts, they both had the bearing on the back of the block though so I didn't worry. It seems a bit of a lottery whether they've got them or not.

I just did mine a few weeks ago and all the necessary parts to do the cambelt came to near as makes no difference £300 alone, and that was with trade discount!

Yes they are 100% the correct plugs.

Yeah as ditz says its where the charcoal canister vents the petrol vapours into the inlet.

Yep dash stops on, it connects to the yellow mini iso plug in the loom.

Exdemo? That'll have had some stick in its time.

Its an 06 plate, am probably wrong just thought it had changed. Have always done all my own stuff but she has to have the book stamped for the warrenty obviously.

I've just posted that ebay link where you can get 4 for £30, thats what you've got to use tough really.

Yep they're the proper ones at a far lower price than renault charge!

I managed 360 miles to a tank a few weeks ago, that wasn't driving it completely like miss daisy either. Was pretty impressed. Record is 420 miles though.

The VVT engages at 1800rpm and disengages at 6500/6800rpm (can't remember exactly).

Nope, it does work off oil pressure but the ECU opens a solenoid valve in the head to allow oil to flow into the dephaser to alter the cam timing. The oil pressure doesn't really matter too much. The solenoid is here behind the oil filler:

Can get 4xNGK PFR6E-10 off the 'bay for about 30 sheets, they're about £15 each from the stealers iirc. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PFR6E-10-NGK-SPARK-PLUGS-NGK-WHOLESALE-PRICES-3688_W0QQitemZ270172081697QQihZ017QQcategoryZ72205QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQ_trksidZp1638.m118.l1247QQcmdZViewItem Think...

Well on an 02 it won't have ESP or Cruise so they aren't for that. The layout diagrams i've got are for a left hand drive so they aren't much use either.

Not cheap

Ph1 all the way for moi.

Yes its got one, instead of a normal pulley on the inlet camshaft you have a dephaser which allows the timing of the cam to be advanced/retarded depending on operating conditions. When the ecu closes a solenoid valve in the head it allows oil to flow into the dephased which iirc advances the...

Same old story though, didn't buy it as the drivers car it is bought it because they couldn't afford a FF. Less stuff, lower price.

It works off coolant temperature though, theres no oil temp sender. Its just sometimes the guage isn't the same as the exact reading the ECU gets.

No, its restricted to a lower limiter for a reason to protect the engine. You shouldn't really be caining it from cold.

Assuming the donor car was a late 53 plate then it'll have cruise and esp. If its just a 2 pin plug by the airbag then thats for the satnav speaker, and they all have it so don't worry about that one.

Better off getting an incartec adapter from CAD does the same as the autoleads one but you don't have to take the dash top off to fit it.

The GrpN map ups the limiter to 7800.

Thought the newer ones were 12k/1yr? Sure my mum's is.

Correct iirc. You need to put that shim back on.
