It says he doesn't want the new one because of 4 doors and auto etc.

Hey! Mine was clean!! (thanks for the pic Lewis!)

I've been reliably told somewhere between 12.5 and 13.1 above 4,000 revs

Fred, did you actually get stopped and that's how they found out or was it because the tax hadn't been renewed etc? I'm asuming it was DVLA that fined you, not the police? It's crazy that tax isn't something you can just call up and sort out (like insurance ) it makes collecting cars etc a...

Not sure you're correct there mate. What about insuring SORN vehicles.......... You DO NOT have to have tax to have your car insured. Having no tax will not invalidate you're insurance.

Police don't care about you having no tax, as long as yout are insured and MOT'd you'll be fine. If you were unlucky enough to get pulled the most they would do is report it to DVLA, but i'm asuming you plan on taxing it sometime soon so that won't be an issue.

You will only get 12 months warranty on the new renault box too, so not really any better off.

I'm not sure anyone has suggested fitting a used 'box have they? Plenty of new old stock ones available. The eBay link provided by someone is for a new TL4 024 gearbox with 12 month warranty from RCS. If Renault won't budge then this would still be my route to a fix.

That the thing, mine seems very odd as it peaks twice, once really low in the revs at about 3k ish and then again at after 5k. I'll post a pic later

can someone post a graph showing the torque? I'm struggling to work it out on mine

Shall we start a list going of who ran and what they got? I'll start 1) Chrisgti6 - Clio 197 - 181.0bhp unsure on torque

Im happy enough with the power, just pissed it was 12bhp down on Lewis to be honest. I think it's partly old plugs and a very dirty pipercross panel filter that I've never cleaned! 181bhp is fine for now, no point chasing figures in a n/a clio I suppose!

Nice to meet you all today guys! Thanks for arranging Thomas. Disappointed with my result so I'll be back there in a few weeks I think once I've made some tweeks

Why on earth would you do that? If it's still over a grand you should have got it done elsewhere. £350 for a new box with warranty then a couple of hundred to get it fitted! £600 max I'd have thought and nothing in Renaults pocket!

I put some Fuchs stuff in mine from opie oils, made it much better from cold.

if it ain't broke, don't fix it. A head gasket isn't a service item, so only normally changed if it fails. Your thread is a bit vague, what engine is it and why do you think it needs changing?

If it's just below the min I wouldn't worry. Get some of the proper Type D stuff from Renault. It's only about £12 for 5l of ready mixed stuff.

Too slow to reply.
