My Car - For Those That Know...

[CHRIS172CUP]

Can I have your white turinis then, thats got to take at least 1 year to fix

 

[George16v]

Maybe you should get a quote from the GDI boys first matey, Would have to be cheaper than Renault. They wanted £320 from front Discs and Pads. I went to a local Garage (well local to Mike) and got Front Discs and pads AND Rear discs and PAds for £230 - Original Renault parts too..

 

[TheCake]

Have bought a new engine.

 

[George16v]

Blimey dude.. Good Luck with it all.. what a b**ch!

[George16v]

What happens when you put a new engine in? Do you alter the milage clock to match what the engine has done?

Nope unless you chnage the dash the milage stays the same.

A new engine is the cheapest way to go unfortunatly.

helicoils........something i hate.

 

[big hp]

Nothing wrong with helicoils Ben.

I work as a design/production engineer, we use them and have never had any problems arise from salvaging a part using a helicoil insert. As long as you knock the tang off there good as.

 

[McBunny]

can i join in with the giggling

Dont worry, not talking about the strength, but the implications of it on the combustion chamber. Unless it is done absolutely spot on and flush with the face (which might be curved in either concave or convex) thenit can lead to det problems on performance engines. But what average engineering show takes its time to do that or even realises that.

 

[Munson]

A tube of no more nails and youre good to go

 

[Ian_182]

So you put a spark plug in your car knowing it was fecked ..........
