I can sort you out if the kits is something you want.

Depends on if you're having oil pressure issues

I ran my 230bhp motor on 5w 40 tbh. Never had any issues with it thinning too much under extreme abuse.

Yeah that'll be fine

If the manifold has o rings on the flange face you don't need a gasket. The o rings create the seal. Spray some chain lube around the potential leak areas. If the idle drops, then picks up, you've found the area of the leak.

It can only go one way mate as the bolt pattern is offset. :up:

Tbf mate, it may have just dropped a valve.

That sounds like a idler pulley has failed or the aux belt tensioner is seized and made the belt come into contact with the cambelt. That'll have fucked the head mate.

You're welcome mate. :up:

I've always been a fan of bright coloured turinis!

It's leaking because the jubilee clip isn't tightening the full 360 degree circumference. You need a jubilee clip with the insert to apply the pressure all the way around the surface area, or you need a cv boot/ear clip.

Technically it shouldn't have any effect as grp n cars had to pass mot tests etc. Failing that you need to cheat!

Try now. It'll work.

Well you know what to do! Lol

Yes mate massively. Mine improved mid range and top end tbf.

The grp n timing alters the dynamic compression ratio, so technically an old belt will be working a bit harder too. With the basic induction and exhaust mods though, it's the best bang per £ you'll ever get from an f4r. I loved my old cup on grp n and they do/did a tool for the mk3 too. That...

It's a bit moody re-timing it and not replacing the belt mate tbf. If anything fails after the timings been adjusted, the person who did it will be held responsible. Even if it's f**k all to do with them!

One last chance. https://www.cliosport.net/threads/full-grp-n-cam-timing-tool.805210/

If it's in the swept area of the wiper blades it's a fail.

Have you checked the rods for ovality on the main bearings? If not, get them checked.

Lol technically impossible on a Jc5 I'm afraid

Lol!! No worries mate. I think it was done as I was due out on the piss and had 20 minutes to get the box apart and ready to go out! My mates said it couldn't be done...........

@T9 0LLE @182_steve - 7 minutes is my record for getting a Jc5 fully in bits. 😂 And when I say fully in bits, I mean it!

I pretty much could've driven down to yours with all the stuff I need in the car and rebuilt your original box in less time than it's taken them bell ends to send it out!! And that would include the time it takes for parts to arrive from renault! Lol

Ah if only I could be arsed now mate.

I think everyone thought I was a liar when I said just how much of an improvement it makes tbh mate. Who's got egg on their fuckin face now then eh? Idle speed is easy to fix!!

I. Rest. My. Case.

What's happening with the original box mate? If it's going nowhere, keep hold of it and I'll open it up for you if the renparts box is shite.

Ah ok. That may well be as fucked as his original! Lol

Well that looks like it's either teeth off a gear, or it's a tooth off a synchro hub. Can't really see it well enough to say for sure. If that box has had that amount of metal going through it, expect damage to each individual gear and bearings. Personally I'd be replacing all the bearings...
