Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone has purchased any of the above recently and managed to get a good deal? Cheers

Good work sir! It hadn't even occurred to me that would happen. Do you know if there's much difference between the Vibratech mounts and the yellow powerflex mounts?

So I've been looking at this again today, and can't work out how the vibractec mount is upside down. It looks exactly the same as the pictures from their website. Can anyone elaborate?

Cheers for all the replies guys. Think I'll try the Vibratecnics mount again.....but not upside down this time!

Thanks Steve, Yes, the mount was installed as shown in the picture (not by myself I hasten to add, must have been the former owner or who rebuilt the engine). Hopefully it hasn't done stress damage to any of the other mounts etc. I'll get the other plate installed as well, that should reduce...

I don't think it was installed upside down, as the nut was threaded onto the vertical bolt shown in the picture. This is how the mount is sitting at the moment - am I missing something? I cant see any way of getting it lower.

I have just changed the driver's side engine mount on my PH2 172 cup from a vibertec mount (photo attached), to a standard mount with a yellow power flex insert. To do this I supported the engine on a jack removed the old mount and offered up the new mount. However, I found that the engine was...

Thanks Steve!

Thanks, do you know what the gearbox model numbers are?

Seem to be going around in circles trying to answer this one. I have a 172 cup and would like to replace the gearbox. It’s a track car, but road legal so I’d like to keep the speedo working. Is the only option another cup gearbox? Thanks

Thanks for the offer, may take you up in the offer when I have a little more time to get over to you.

Thanks guys, already plugged into an OBD no faults showing. I'm assuming I need CLIP or RS tuner to interrogate the airbag ECU.

As above, I'm located in Twickenham. Thanks, Doug 07540058446

Bought the car from a non renault dealer. But originally car was sold from a renault franchise called baldocks of bracknell. Did strike me as very strange that they decide to import instead of buy through renault u.k. Think that somthing V. dodgy is going on.
