Aye, get some proper heat into them and not a lot touches them IMO.
Normal driving is a nightmare though.

I saw that Jay! You're not just leaving the oil cooler cable tied on are you??

LOL - just a temp measure untill i find something else to use, now you've told me that i'll use one of those!!
Yeah what's wrong with it like that...cables ties FTW!
I've got a bracket to fix it properly, just a temp measure untill I get some more bits added/fitted
A big long overdue update….
Spent the last 2 weekends getting the car ready, as it’s so close to being back on the road now!
I ordered some bits and bobs from Renault as I’d lost a few nuts/bolts when taking it apart (I’ll bag them up next time!!) From my day at Bedford last year some time one of the caliper carrier bolts wouldn’t tighten and was just loose, so I ordered a new hub to get it sorted! Wrong! When I started putting things back together it went in fine and no problems at all, so I’ve got a brand new hub just sitting there doing nothing, at least my spares bin is getting bigger!!
Bits and bobs
I thought I’d get to work on putting the new discs and pads on
Off with the old
On with the new Brembo HCs, CLs and news suspension/hub bolts
We connected both the track rod ends back to the hubs, connected the gear linkage and bolted all the calipers back on.
Done the usual checks under the car to make sure we hadn’t missed any bolts and made sure everything was tight – all good!!
I put the 2 front wheels back on and something resembling a car started to appear!! After all the hard craft, saving and 14 month wait – it was nearly there!!
I held the bumper up to front as well so I could remember what the front end looked like
Looking good!!

The next job was to sort out the interior – man it was such a mess!!!
I took all the crap out and gave it all a good wipe down and prep’d the interior for painting….took me 2 hours just to do this….
I decided to go for a subtle silver colour, nothing to OTT and pretty easy to sort out – Hammerite straight to metal – Hero!

After I’d given that a day to dry I got my very dusty seats down from the loft, bolted those back in, hooked up the harnesses and stripped all the masking tape and paper off
The finished article…
Loving it, loving it, loving it!

All that's left to sort out now is...
Find reverse gear...went through the box to make sure the linkage was working properly, it wasn't LOL, all 5 forward gears but couldn't get it in to reverse!
Plug the reverse light sensor in
Re route the oil cooler as the piping isn't quite right and secure properly
Fit the braided lines and new fluid (completing before 27th May - Brand RS day)
.....and finally the boring stuff, MOT, Insurance, Tax
Sooooooo close lol
