One quick question.. Mine's got the same problem (also got a decat), but also produces smoke when you rant it and lift off...same overfueling problem.?

Really obvious (i know), but have you checked the wheel bolts...mine was doing a similar thing on a track day and just founf that the bolts were not torqued up correctly.. Also have the CV joint problem (but only at low speed), packed the joint with grease and all's been well for the last 10k...

...Also keep in mind that the Mk1 Ph1 and Ph2 ECUs are different (immobaliser) so be cautious of any chip you buy on Ebay.. Also they need soldering, so not just a clip out/in job like on other cars..

16v rear disc brakes have always been crap..mines failed several years running. Frequently it's down to the handbrake cable, as spanner monkeys just tighten and tighten it up...great idea, but does not allow the full movement of the handbrake level (on the caliper), so fails horribly. Calipera...

I've got a K-Tec one on my 16v, and am very happy with it..

I have the unsilenced version on my 16v. Does make more noise, but not too overbearing.. Also frees up the car at higher revs.. Pain changing for the MOT, but there you go....

Drilling holes in a Porsche airbox...yep, i'm sure Porsche spends millions of pounds on development, eeking out every last little horse available...and muppet with a 10mm drill can release so so much more... lol.

Very imformative..cheers for the info.

16v..without a shadow of a doubt.

You can also buy split CV boot kits, that just slide over and you seal them..saves you taking drive shafts out and stuff.

Even easier...replacement 16v ECUs are on ebay for about £15..change it over and you can flog the chipped on ebay for about £80.. Nice and simple and make some profit.!

Bodywork quite good, but wheels have seen better days...curbed and lost lacquer..umm, genuine 32k.?

Believe the Ph2 has a built in immobaliser.. You can't put a Ph2 into a Ph1 (it just doesn't start..i tried it), but unsure about the other way round...suspect not.

I got my 16v cambelt changed last year...Renault (inchsacpe) in Southampton wanted £501..! (even the woman behind the counter had to check it three times..!), so went to another garage locally, and they did it for £120 (inc part & VAT). Renault indicate it's something like a 8-9 hour job, where...
