yes. i've got one as my first bike and love it. get on a trackday with it and it really comes to life (especially once you have the suspension set up)

might be buying a cheap fiesta and was ringing around insurance companies. expecting really somewhere in the region of £200 premium however everywhere is £370+! even chris knott and sky were high (sky wanted £540 tpft!) im 25, 2 years NCB and would have thought in the £200's was possible...

you can call up renault UK and they too can tell you if its been done already. if it has there's no need to pay up for a new bonnet catch mechanism. simply undo the 2 bolts holding the catch and give it a good clean/scrub with a brush (i used a brass one) and some WD40. you will notice the catch...

fairly sure the pipe you mean is the crankcase breather. you can get a small filter to pop onto the end of it. reason why you haven't got a hole for it to go to on the hose you have is because you haven't got a 5 GTT specific induction hose.

after losing my 2G (had it for 2 years) i've been sent out a 8GB 3G as an insurance replacement. How much are these things worth nowadays? This one is brand new, still in the packaging from o2.

having used both, I too, like others have mentioned, prefer Pages.

is the bonnet only being secured by the latch? and is there no tension on the bonnet release lever (inside the car) when you pull it?

well gave it a go and no fuel coming out. gonna try powering up the fuel pump via the battery to eliminate whether the fault is with the fuel pump or the wiring.

i'll get a container and try and catch most of it in there.

just had a thought. if i removed the fuel line from the fuel rail this might de-pressurise the fuel in the system. then if i attempted to start it up the fuel pump 'may' prime meaning a) its working, b) there's no problems with the connection and c) the fault lies elsewhere. just thinking it...

im not getting 12V on the two thicker wires. however the relay is clicking so im assuming this is fine. so by the sounds of things if somewhere within the wire that the fault lies? would running power and earth off the battery to the fuel pump work?

Re: non runner prices not full....just bits and pieces. ive got the car booked in with renault on weds (looks like recovery van will have to bring it unless i can get it fired up) and what im thinking is if i leave it with them it may end up costing hundreds of pounds and subsequently by...

thanks for the reply. to test the fuel pump is working could i run 2 cables from the battery to the fuel pump direct and see if it does 'whirr'?

Re: non runner prices is that as a non runner or as a runner?
