I paid a lot more as i had lots of other stuff done at the same time. I just went with Service Code D on their website and then had more stuff done ha ha, but £630 sounds about right.

How did you get on with this? Major difference? What did you go with the plug and any pipes etc?

I had mine done at Engine Dynamics earlier in the month and highly recommend. I did the whole lot including water pump and dephaser etc.

Its not hard to solder a couple of wires i remember you saying @NorthloopCup helped you before so maybe he could do it for you?

I have bitten the bullet and ordered a new power steering pump of eBay, cost £90 and it's supposed to be a genuine refurbished part. It was this one if anyone else is interested. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151264344362?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT I am trying to...

Oh dear that doesn't look good, does the coolant sensor actually work? Probably worth just putting in some new wires.

Let me know how you get on with the pump from eBay, did you buy a second hand one or a new refurb one? I am looking for one myself.

What's the postcode? You can PM it to me if you like, I live close by so would like to check it out.

People do say after 100 miles or so the Ktec/vib ones do settle down a little. Even when i spoke to Andy at Engine Dynamics he said a poly dog bone and standard mounts are perfectly fine for a road car. As my car has done similar miles i think i will replace the engine and gearbox one next.

Looks like you have found the culprit then. You could test the wires for continuity and that would tell you if there was a break and with which wire, but it sounds like its the plug itself. I'm sure it wouldn't be an issue to strip some of the loom covering off to solder new wires on with the...

That's strange when i put my plate in nothing :( maybe because its a 55. Did it happen to say a manufacturer of the part? I think I will look into the EPAS conversion for the future, but for now just stick with the current setup.

Hahaha I wouldn't say mental, i would say passionate about driving lol. That's 3.5 hours one way as well! I have been all over the country just for a drive or something to do. Driving makes me happy especially when on a great road.

I agree with you, I am trying to decide the best way to replace my power steering pump as in with Euro's or a refurb etc. I have also just ordered the Autoglym Headlight Restoration Kit, normally I would go with 3M stuff, but thought I would give it a try. I also ordered some Gtechniq C4, some...

Is it difficult to convert to EPAS? Not something I have looked into really.

Yer I have seen a couple, but not sure if they are trust worthy etc. Anyone used a refurb company before? Yer I looked on Euro's and doesn't give much info. Brand of part is after market and its £200+ would only spend that sort of money on a genuine new one really. GSF didn't list anything on...

I was supposed to be working today but ended up spending the whole afternoon going through this lol. Glad to see you have stuck with it long projects can become disheartening. Good luck for 2017.

I think you should go back to blue and sell me the black induction kit haha

I need a new power steering pump, i spoke to Renault Parts Direct and unfortunately the part is no longer available. Anyone know where I can get one from? I don't really fancy some Chinese crap from eBay and Euro's is a bit vague. Only other option would be to get one rebuilt.

Only VXR i would buy especially in that colour. I went to one of those VXR Power Events at Thruxton and drove the Insignia, Astra, Corsa VXR and a Corsa Nur. Last year i also did 3000 miles in an Astra J VXR when i went to Worthersee. The Astra left me feeling cold really, it was fast and...

They are four stud yer and 4x100 the center bore is a bit bigger so will need spigot rings. Not to bad really for 16inch 7J its about £560. Think i will get my power steering pump changed first as its whining away and Andy mentioned it had some play it in.

Looking at these wheels, what do you guys think? Slightly different from Turinis.

Because there was a problem with the plug IIRC Renault released an updated one to cure the issue just have to solder two wires. Just had it done on mine.

Yer the pipe could be sprayed you would just need to key up the surface then use some etch primer and give it a paint.

The exhaust was made by the previous owner and is poor on the alignment it rattles against the heat shields at times. I will be replacing for a PMS system :) I was a bit disappointed when i saw the bulbs because they were a little orange still but like OssPoop says it's still a big improvement.

I think you can buy new genuine injectors for like £30 each anyways and easy to swap over.

Thanks Steve yer it is a big weight lifted, still a long way to go. I can't help browsing the net and buying things lol. Think i will get the wheels first then do exhaust and suspension.

Yer, but i'm lazy. Sell me yours ha

White car is MK1 Golf?

Yer i would say the same, might be worth checking the plugs and leads as well. Could even be the coil pack.

Hmm the blue is a bit too standout for me would prefer the black one, gonna have to order a new one now lol. Your costing me money hahahaha
