Blimey .. lead ballooooooon..... I really don't like those watermarks Trev. Straight, clean, simple and out of the way is best ;) The cats .. love them though ! The colour .. I'm not sure yet TBH ! :rasp:

Seriously good find. If that's been pottered about in all its life, I bet that needs a few miles of gently thrashing the hell out of it (once nice and warm!!) to clear the cobwebs out and bed the piston rings in a little haha ! Why do people buy cars like this to do 2k miles a year in ?!

Firstly I would get the timing checked ! Anyone / a garage should be able to do that in a few minutes with a timing gun. Has it had a belt changed recently ? It could have just slipped a tooth or two if the belt is getting old as well... When is it due !?

Hi and welcome. If it's just for cheap thrills as you have a generic euro-box to drive around in already, get a ph1 172 :) They are practically free now, and there are a few good ones left out there ! Good luck

Salty .. just epic. You realise nothing will ever compare...... I predict a "my Ph1/brother/mother/house/non-vital organs up for sale to fund my new *generic-exotica*" within a month :rasp: LMFAO ! He looks like he needs the pink panther theme to sneak around to !

How can you be bored of the car ?! I never got bored of mine. It annoyed me at times but nothing major went wrong in 20k miles and it entertained me immensely. Driving Dan's (danny172) stripped / bucketed / Mark Fish'd Ph1 around (usually like I stole it - GTA style, he's in the passenger seat...

Strange ... Who knows .. Oh well. At least you're sorted now hey !

Re: Help! Agreed a sale but now she won't start. WHAAAAAT ! Do you get a gold plated rolls royce with that ? I went to Renault and they were certainly under five quid, but they didn't have them in stock .. a motorfactors charged about a fiver.

Re: Help! Agreed a sale but now she won't start. *coughs* I got there first... ;) Only joking .. glad you're sorted.

Yeah the Ph1's have (cat 1?) alarm / immob as standard (unless it's an import..) Oh how I miss the joys of owning a surrender monkey. :rasp: Hope you get it sorted dude..!

Immobiliser relay ? has the alarm been playing about recently ?! Mine did this (the OP) a year or so back .. replaced the relays (under the bonnet IIRC?) and it's been fine ever since. About £3 from Renault. HTH !

Sooo... care to elaborate !? What's the story ?

Oh Hai ... BRB .. *goes to check phone for missed calls.....* :(

If it's turning over .. fuel pump / fuel (empty?!) / fuel pump relay / TDC sensor...?

Soooooo much better ;)

A few snapshots from today from me: My bus:

Will see you lot there (or on the way) in the Scoob and E46 M3. Housemate is driving the M, I'm in the serbaroo .. obviously ... I'm not that good.

Smart ! Photoshopped out the plate methinks.. but you knew that already, right ? :o

Scrapyard if you're lucky ? Keep an eye out for people breaking Ph1's ?

Can't be that difficult. Rob(bos) managed it ...

Just get some dual optics ;)

Wasn't expecting one of these after your last two weapons. Getting old Mr R ? :rasp: Oh hai x Statement untrue. Flat-4 up Succumb's Hill will be better ;)

This is now turning into scoobysport.net :cool: Looks tidy :)

Is there a date for the 2.2 on the Desire yet ?!

Re: SE London/NE Kent Rolling Day Hurry up already.. I wish to embarrass you all with your surrendermobiles ! ;) JapCrap FTW :cool:

I love the world cup. Empty roads for normal people... :cool: Cracking pic.

You could have stood a little closer lol Looks .. er .. like a Clio ;) Mine were from JamSport in Northampton. They were doing a CS deal at the time, about 18 months ago ?! Not sure who else does them near your end of the world. exhausts - they rust before they put them on in the factory IIRC

+1 on the matched inlets. Best power mod for money on these ! Exhaust + de-cat will see the revs rise a little quicker than standard but probably 0.1hp gain ;-) If the standard tube is on there still, get something like a k-tec stealth on there anyway. How Renault made cheese rust so quickly...

I had this for 3 months .. weeks of nothing, then a load at once. All lead to nothing - no views at all. All of a sudden, fatkat asked - viewed - bought :cool: It will happen .. just have patience, grasshopper ! Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel does wonders !! One bottle of that will...

Phew .. Black FTW ! Invest in tyre-gel though ;-)
