^exactly, coppers pulled me for no tax in a Gallardo, didn't say a word about the Tubi system (i didn't know about the tax before you say, owner paid anyway!)
its technically not from what i read in the old legislation, its all to do with CATS from what i interpret, unless i've missed the latest update, i'll pop into VOSA next week though and find out for sure
Re: someph-ing different...........
nothing exciting, its not fully mapped yet plus a few sensors here and there need sorting, it was "thrown" together a bit to make the autosport show, drove it back to the workshop ok, couldn't go above 3krpm though
see my post above, just spoke to the man that looked after all the renault sport race engines for the cup racers, it should NOT have a key on it, but the part without the key doesn't seem to exist! looks like they'll have to be machined! :(
that's the incorrect pulley then!
EDIT - just called renault, its the correct part according to the part number, but its the incorrect pulley, it shouldn't have a woodruff key
from memory i believe Renault's allowable tolerance is 1L per 625miles (1000km) but i maybe wrong there
its not often i see F4R's burning oil, normally they use nothing, some of the track stuff might use a little
i did a 2000 172 yesterday that had done 112169miles, was a perfect engine!
1L in 6000miles? that's way inside tolerance, wouldn't worry about that, unless you mean 600miles (ie 1000km)
some of our Gallardos do over 2L a day, but they are flat out all day (well depending on the customers!)
0W40
5W40
10W40
all fine to use, they're all THE SAME VISCOSITY AT 100DEG C
the 0, 5, 10 refers to the viscosity at 0degC, the lower the number, the lower the safe cold temp it can go down to (ie 0W goes down to -25degC IIRC, 5W -15degC, 10W -5degC - figures aren't exact its to convey my...
who needs engine mods or 98RON! LOL
:D cheers for doing that fella, look after the old girl, try not to have too much fun in it, i do want it back at some stage!
