black on black my fav :rasp:

s**t ! gald to hear your ok ;), i just had a motorbike crash today.... oil on the corner back end came out tired to save it but no luck :( my ass hurts and grazed my arms+legs+back to hell. My luck the last 2 months has been crap don't know if you saw my 182 engine nightmare thread :dead: was...

that's what you call a fly by! :eek:

Yeah. sent you a PM Budgie

Wow thanks guys! I take it you have all the tools etc :p ? I will wait and see what Renault says first. I wonder how much it would cost to drive all that way(south of spain) :cool:

Yep all the tops of the pistons have marks from the vavles. Had a tapping/clicking noise aswell when I got the car back the 2nd time, told them and they went for a test drive with me and said its the exhaust... And to come back on Monday I never hit the limiter aswell.

Hey quick update.. Went back to the garage this morning and they have confirmed that the ECU has not been mapped :rasp: and are still saying its not there fault..... wtf ?? They are waiting for a reply from Renault head office now, I will go direct to Renault after I have given them a chance...

I know but where i live i have no choice believe me i have looked for specialists. This has turned into a very expensive belt change :dead:

nope and previous owner said it wasn't as well.

Yep they have a Diagnostics laptop but i don't know if it can check to see if it's been mapped or not need to ask. only reason they might think it might have been is all the mods i have on it like racing leads ITG Performance air filter full 2.5" exhaust with decat and ARB on the back.

OK just got of the phone with Renault and there still sticking by what they said before that its the ECU that's been mapped. Causing timing problems How can this be checked so i can show its stock?

It was only the 1st plug looks just like the photo in original post all the other plugs are fine. Didn't have a new set of plugs even tho i asked for them, they used the ones that came with the second hand engine..

My problem is that they are not going to take liability for it and i can't prove anything but i am going to push until i get an outcome i am happy with.

Yep both times same garage Renault

Yeah i am super depressed right now :banghead: was all happy when i got it back. will send a PM now thanks mate.

Hi again quick update...got the car back on Thursday had the new engine put in with new clutch and Belts(had the car 4 days). Yesterday the car cuts out cruising along same as it did the first time round had the car towed to the garage. Checked the belt it looked fine then took the 1st plug out...

Just had my new engine put in all good aprat from i have a tapping/clicking noise when i accelerate cant pin point where the sound comes from. Only happens when you drive along, starts at 2krpm tho it disappears if you hover at 2k for abit.

LOUD?? lol

nice, mine didn't make it gave up the ghost at 82k.. :( clean that dash :P

Awesome ! looks brand new. love the wheels

Hi If the timing belt was done to tight could it cause a dropped valve or any type of damage? had all my belts changed and water pump(Renault did it). noticed a whining noise after it was done video below Can't hear it to well from that video but it sounds like it had a supercharger on it :S...

I got PS3's all round on mine now and its like a train! only problem is the price but well worth it.

Yeah would love some ! But people would ninja the parts off it you park up for abit... :( some low life nicked my plastic wing mirror cover before :mad:

really nice! i would get a cup spoiler on it tho if it was mine :rasp:
