mega bump. But is the is the aux belt tensioner tool required? https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/auxiliary-belt-tool/

The revs on my car will slowly increase if it left to idle. They start at 1k as normal, but then the revs slowly increase with no throttle input. if left I'm sure they would have carried on to the limiter, but i turned it off at 3k every time. Prior to this today on the drive home the car cut...

Good morning! Unusual to see anther Phase 1 out on the road, only about the 3rd I've seen. I would love a Sunflower they look brilliant.

It turns out the garage's diagnosis was correct, the master cylinder is leaking and the servo wasn't 'not working' however their fix, which included the servo removal maybey wasn't. I asked my girlfriend's dad who is a mechanic and he spoke to his mate who is a Renault specialist, who advised...

I posted the other day that my brake pedal had gone rock hard and couldn't be depressed. it was intermittent and didn't do it every time I braked. I took the car to a garage. They have advised the master cylinder has leaked, damaged the brake servo and both need replacing. If they do, I will...

I've had nakang ns2's when I've purchased a new car, they were rubbish. I've had Toyo T1R's they were okay, soft but not very good in the wet. I've had Uniroyal Rainsports 2 and 3 and they were decent. Great in the wet, cheap in 15". The only real downside is they aren't the hardest...

Can anybody assist?

Hi all, I recently took my car out just after it had rained heavily and the roads were still wet. After about 1/2 a mile the car started to hesitate and then cut out. It restarted immediately. I decided to head back home at the next roundabout. It cut out a further 3 times on the way home. A...

It looks fantastic. I sold mine last year and still wish I had it every time I drive.

Enjoying being back in a phase 1. It needs 4 wheels refurbished and the bonnet/bumper could do with being repainted, but I am pleased with it overall.

I bloody loved mine, although I've only ever been in a Vee with one, so I've got no idea what it sounded like as standard.

It's not going to be a cheap visit to the garage is it. That's what I had feared. A clucth replacement is around £480 and a belt/dephaser replacement is £500. Good thing I get my redundancy payout on Friday.

Main leak is suspected to be the rear main oil seal. They also said there was a very slight leak from the camshaft and they think the gearbox input shaft. They suggested trying a sealant to rejuvenate any leaking seals in the short term but I personally I would like to get them fixed. I...
