As Ron says, glad you're fixing it mate 👍 it's deffo worth saving.

You having another engine dropped in, or having that one repaired? May aswell drop some 197 cams in while you're there.....🤔

Haha did think about cams but don't fancy increasing the cost now 😅. It's just getting a refurbed head put on.

So picked the car up today wallet feeling light but glad to have it back again. Going to take it easy for a few hundred miles and pop back in for a check over but hopefully all be good.

1 year of ownership yesterday that's really flew by. Keep thinking to sell up and get a Mégane but then I look at it and tell myself to enjoy it for the summer at least. The car has done 1.5k miles since the rebuild now and has been going strong so credit to Beaniesport for doing a fantastic job. The car is crying out for a proper clean as all it's had since early December is a jet wash.

Gave the car a good wash finally as it had been 5 months since it had a proper clean I decided to get bilt hamber fallout remover and car pro tar and glue remover on it. Silver is a funny colour as it can look clean even when it's kind of dirty but you really see the difference when it's given a deep clean. I then dried it using Sonax BSD and Infinity wax rapid detailer mixed which is a go to product for me now. It's incredibly easy to apply, lasts ages beads well and adds a good gloss.

Sadly the fun ends there because after chucking a few parts chasing a bearing type noise it seems my gearbox is on its way out. Not really what I wanted considering what the car needed early on in the year. The joys of owning an old Renault I guess so looks like I'll be footing another big bill for it.
