so got home ,removed the graphics on the windscreen and resprayed the wing mirrors.
also got the car booked in to have a middle box and a cat fitted which brought the volume down thankfully not to much.
My wife and I went over to collect the car then drove down to the lake district to see friends when we where over.
Which is when I realised that there was no middle silencer or cat fitted , just a straight pipe and a custom back box.
loud is not even the word for this thing it was just nuts.
so...
I've been on here for many years even before I owned the 2002 172 cup which I now own, and think the time has now come to share the different phases my car has gone through and is still going through.
I will try and share as much as possible, as I know how much this forum has helped me over the...
Thanks for that
Just off the phone with them and they knew straight away however they seem to be obsolete from Renault
for anyone interested the part no. 7700109151 old price of £16.50 each
might have to look aftermarket .
Has any one had to source the valve guides for a cylinder head rebuild?
I have tried a few Renault dealers and they can't even get me a part number never mind a price.
I had this same issue with mine, only I left it until it got so bad the car failed to start at all.
If you open the fuse/relay box in the engine bay and check the relays spade connectors for corrosion clean them up and refit also below where the relay sit should be a big white multi pin...
Time isn't really a factor but its good to hear its not scrap. if you have any contact details it will start the ball rolling .Thanks
any idea's why the damage is all on one cylinder inlet/exhaust as all other journals are as new
I have a 197 cylinder head which I would like to use in a new engine build over the winter, but I'm not sure if the damage to the cam journal's means the head is scrap or if it can be repaired.
There are only 2 journal's which are marked 1 on the exhaust cam and 1 on the inlet cam and they are...

I bought and fitted a new RS2 from james about a month ago, great bit of kit. You will have to get it mapped to get the most from it . I hope to travel down to get mine mapped next week if all goes well. Speak to james
best money I have spent so far if only for the sound alone:cool:.
Such a clean standard car, but with the RS2 fitted it will look even better.
Can you just swap the ecu over or will you have to go for a new map on this one?
