It's a ph2 mate. It's always blasting up and down the a194 lol!

Seen this a few times around south tyneside. Don't think theyre on here. Lush car though!

Aye it is. Aw nice one cheers mate! Surprised a decat passed mine sets car alarms when its on ha ha!

I'll see if any of the lads up my way have a decibel meter. Hopefully will be alright! Honest, I thought mine sounded more raspy when it was hot. Well if it works I know for later!

Ive got both standard cat and decat but standard is on atm (just been for mot ha ha). It's a lot quieter without the decat but is it that much quieter to get it under 88!? Cheers for the reply though! At least I have an insight!

Just wondering the above?! I've tried to search and not come up with anything? Want to do a track day and the limit is 88db so pointless me oaying for it to be denied on the day!!

Looking nice mate!!

Had a reg starting with NV05 I think. Spotted it going round the 1 way system after the bridge in town. Looked standard.

Spotted of the A690 coming out of Sunderland, looked smart!

Seen it parked down scotswood, reg K19 CUP. looked nice and clean!

I'm in!

Trouble is sometimes even "specialists" get it wrong though. Took mine to one (as I didn't have time to do it myself due to work), 500 miles later it spat a valve. Ive now rebuilt the engine and done it myself! Moral of the story, if you can do it yourself, do it! You're always going to treat...

The first time it turned out I'd pushed it all the way in so that's what caused that but I'd already bought the new seals so decided to fit them. When I took it apart today it had chewed the inner part of the seal on the dephaser and that was leaking lol. So I've fitted the original seal (only...

I've followed that pdf manual all the way. Is there something I'm missing when installing the seals? Should I put the dephaser seal in first or should I put it on the dephaser then put it on?

Yeah mate. I've left that brass coloured engine hoist thing off that goes behind where the pulleys are, that wont nake any difference?

Swapsies then? Ha ha

Ha ha why do we even put up with them lol. If they were women they would have seen the door a long time ago!!

Hi, right my engine spat a valve so I have rebuilt it. It'd only had the belts and dephaser changed 500 miles before it broke so I figured I could use the same cam seals, how I was wrong as that resulted in oil pissing out everywhere! So I took it all apart again, got some new cam seals and...

Well thought I'd fixed the car but now its leaking oil! Yey I love Renaults! :banghead:

If you can take headlights out to do them mate otherwise get crap everywhere! !

I'm still rebuilding the bean but its lookong good! Fingers crossed!

Cheers mate will do

Was just looking for info if I get new standard bolts. Whats the cheapest can get arp bolts for? So far I've found them on engine dynamics @ £83 delivered? !

Yeah standard ones, cheers fred!

Anyone know the torque setting for the standard con rod bolts? Tried searching on here and no definitive answer. Cheers

Did this ever get resolved?

Ha ha I wish. At the moment my main priority it to get it on the road. One day I might build a forced induction or high comp engine! Also on the back of this, when re fitting the dephaser is there a particular way it needs to go on just I cant find anything about it in any of the mechanics...

Hence the reason I'm doing it myself now! Cheers Dan I'll get in touch if I need some!

Don't suppose you've got a spare set kicking about then chip ha ha? I'll PM ya phase1er

Because that's the reason the valve snapped, 4/8 of the inlet valves had been hitting the cylinders, and the amount of metal actually removed is negligible tbh. Re the springs, OE springs from Renault are more expensive than the catcams ones so thought it would do no harm getting them. I agree...
